America Is Not The Greatest Country

TheMessenger · 07-01-2012, 12:30 AM

A new show is coming on, or has already aired, on HBO called "The Newsroom". I saw an amazing clip from the show so I'm going to go watch it, but I thought that I should share because of how true and, at least to me, powerful it was - not saying it's the most powerful speech ever or anything, but pretty powerful nonetheless.

I have to confess, I used to believe that America was the greatest place on earth, until I started going abroad, came home, and nearly immediately wanted to leave.

North America is a continent, South America is a continent, America, when saying just the word, is widely accepted as meaning the United States of America, that's what I've come to gather anyway ^^

As i was younger and we just got the change from communism to democracy and we got tons of problems(we still have tons too) i wanted to go to US and to live in that country. My friends done that, my aunt moved to Canada. And i'm still here in Bulgaria.

I will not move from here and i know i live in a great country. I do not think US is great in any way. EU is alot better than US it terms of freedom and stuff.

Home is where you feel nice and loved. There is no great or worse countries.

TY for this video. It was nice.

You know sometimes i feel angry for how many people left my country. We was 9mil 20 years ago and now we are around 7. More than a million bulgarians emigrated to US, Canada and other countries. And they still do.

Every damn year US sucks tons of people from other countries with that green card lottery. Well it is not lottery ofc. They choose who to go there.

Greatest country, freedom and stuff. They just wash people's minds. I have saw this already 20 years ago.
