Why is this?

Everywhere I go, in real life and online, everyone is saying that America is the worst country in the world and they want to sposta to England. They treat it as if it is the holy land. I'm 0% American (but I have citizenship), but te should learn to Amore your country. America has as many good things as England, and they both have their own political problems. Be proud of where te live!
And we have one thing that can help us with these detto problems: Freedom of speech. If te notice a major problem, te can rant, hold rallies, do what te want.
I know that I'll get a lot of long rants to reply to this, but I just want to tell you. I don't mean to offend people in England. I like the country. I actually want to visit there. I'm just annoyed da all of this unenthusiasm.

I'm also not saying that England doesn't have freedom of speech. If te have any serious political problems on your mind, take action.

I don't know much of anything about England, but I do know a fair amount about America. And lemme tell you, it sucks.

People say we've got all the equality anyone can ever want. Ha, no. We've got racism, we've got gender discrimination, we've got homophobia galore. Woman president? Naw. Obama isn't even black, for God's sake. He's biracial. He's not even pro-gay marriage either. Equality is a big no no here. And sure, te can look however te want. But don't expect to get a good job if te walk in to an interview tattooed and with a mohawk. te might be the most intelligent applicant, the most capable and the kindest, but te won't get the job because of how te look. Stereotypes are the name of the game. And those stereotypes? They breed so much hatred it's like "WTF happened to America? Land of the free and home of the brave?" Hate crimes and murder and government officials not caring about those below them and lack of healthcare and poverty. Poverty. We're so far in debt it's ridiculous. And there's homelessness everywhere. A fair percentage of our population is living below the national poverty line, though I can't recall the exact number. And then there's voting. "If voting changed anything they'd make it illegal." Because I don't know if I believe that Americans have any power in their government. This country is really quite a disgusting place, in my opinion, between the people and the systems and the literal lack of cleanliness in cities and in the air and in the water.

And we even only have freedom of speech to an extent, te realize. Like have te seen that teacher blogger in the news? She blogged about how much she hated teaching, and is about to get fired for it. There's no rules against blogging where she works. Now, she shouldn't have detto those things, but nothing says she can't. And yet, she might lose her job for speaking freely.

Ya, I agree. I mean, I think te should be proud of wherever te are born and wherever te live. Plus, freedom of speech is something lots of other places don't have and we should appreciate it.
