Don't gloat, Canada will still be happy to wipe the smirk off your face even if the US is tied up internally. The average American still has ideals and this site shows a wide range of ideas springing out from Americans.
What many people don't seem to differentiate on this site is the concept of state and citizen. You are doing this. Don't do this. What if I did this? The only Macedonian I've ever spoken to asked me to spear him. Is that Macedonia? A place to spear people?
What would be best for the US, for Canada and for all of lesser Macedonia is for the US to stop fucking everyone including themselves. It would be for a quiet revolution to dispose of the state and install one more conducive to domestic and international respect.
The only Macedonian I've ever met wanted to spear me, but I told him I wasn't gay, and then I speared him.
So yes, all Macedonians are gay.
More on topic, how the hell can you be american and have an optimstic outlook on the future of your country? How delusional can you be?
I find it extremely hard to justify a positive assessment of Sweden's future, but atleast most of our problems are of similar magnitude as most other western countries, you have our problems, but on steriods! Our democracy is bad, but your democracy is awful! It's riddled with corruption, disingenuity and every last one of your politicians are professional bullshitters. We are losing jobs to China, but you are shipping away jobs like no other country, on the verge of making yourself completely financially dependent on them in a deal only they can benefit from. We have an ignorant general public, but your general public are utter retards! Our media has political bias, but your media merely serves as an extension of corporations, serving it's sponsors like they're their fucking pimps.
On top of that you also have some to the western world unique problems, you're basically a police state, you have the most trigger happy cops in the world, and arguably the most ignorant cops as well. And you still allow the death penalty, something only tyrannical countries practice.
You live on clichƩs and optimism, and try to "will" your way into prosperity, but you forget that "will" won't get you anywhere unless combined with intelligence. You're lost and clueless, still clinging on to what you think made you successfull in the past, problem is that a) It was never the key in the first place, and b) the game has changed, and the same tactic works awfully bad in this new era of economics. You are going down the drain with an alarming speed, optimism isn't going to solve shit for you, what you need is some god damn realism and change your country around completely. That includes what you view as your place in the world, what you stand for, your ideals and your identity. You are cheering like it's a fucking roller coaster ride, but the rail leads straight into a brick wall and before long you're going to slam headfirst into it.
