My guess is that you like it because you were born here, as I did for a while. People who come here from foreign countries may like it also, but I honestly see nothing that good about it. Look around you for a bit, shit weather, shit food, an enormously xenophobic and annoying people - I can't wait to get out of here.

A messy house wont get any tidier if everyone runs away and abandons it.

I fully intend to run away, I don't feel like I have any duty to the country just because I was born here.

I'm very patriotic. However, I do agree, stupid people are a big problem here. Thing is, looking at other countries, there isn't many on par with ours. I guess maybe Japan, USA, Canada, New Zealand and Australia are pretty good second choices, as well as some European countries, but I'm sure I'd be happier here...but not the north, I'm definately moving out of the north.

I was under the impression that Vatican City was it's own country.

It is. I hear Italy's pretty nice despite that.

Bill Richardson should do it. As the former Energy Secretary and a current state governor, he's the most qualified.

I'm not sure why he's not getting talked about more.

1. He's hispanic which is bad as well as good, I mean two minorities on the ticket? Could drive away independants
2. He finished fourth in the presidential race, so he's not really regarded as a winner
3. He's pretty risky. He might look good now, but even Edwards looked good in 04.
4. He's old news

They're possible reasons.

Dave Chapelle did a skit a few years ago. He said a black presumptive nominee should pick a Mexican running mate. Because if some white racist bumps the president, they'll only be opening up the border completely.

Nah, a minority ticket would seem like a bump to white folk. It may seem silly, but to independants and liberal republicans, it's like uber minority favouritism, that they really want minorities in the white house. They already support immigration. And this is without the FOX news smears.

McCain also supports immigration, that's why the really far right don't like him and call him a "maverick" all the time. But in the case of Gov. Richardson; a Black/Mexican ticket would be pretty damn unprecedented. I pointed out that he was a former Cabinet member and a current state governor. A junior senator who was a nobody five years ago, needs that kind of experience on his side.
