The American Flag Comes... Second?

Yes, the way to get your message across is to arbitrarily turn the flag upside down and fly something above it so the government gets the point that "You are displeased."

Now, don't you think there might be a few more mature and fruitful ways to show your distaste than to turn the flag upside down? There's a reason the flag is held so sacred in our country, and you nor those other high school retards get it.

EDIT (Ninja'd): @Grandia: Yeah, you're free to let the government do everything for you. Thumbs-down.

You'd rather live in western europe than the US?

Wow... just wow. Britain is the only country over there even approaching a sane QoL at this point in time.

I respectfully laugh at your opinion. Then I burn your flag and rape your women.

Thank you for standing up to our arguments with ad hominem attacks.

Now get the hell out of this thread and never come back.

Because, you know, I was serious.

Fact- The United States is the 22nd most "advanced" country in the world.
This includes technology and social freedoms. Meaning that there are 21 countries that I would rather live in.

Good day sir.

Thank you for citing your source and defining what "advanced" is... No really, you're doing a great job.

Advanced- Less % of crime, more new technology being released, less "vice" laws, less debt per capita, more income per capita.

Source- I really wish I could remember. Some newspaper article a few months ago.

"The criteria for calculating rankings include life expectancy, adult literacy, school enrollment, educational attainment, and adjusted real income."

I don't see anywhere where it includes a citizen's personal rights.

Gj, you get info from a completely different source and call me wrong. You win.

Ok.

US also has the lowest tax rates in the world (of important countries, of course; Monaco and Cyprus hardly count).

Especially with respect to Eastern Europe, which has exorbitant rates and rarely has a zero floor for the poorest population. Yeah, giving half of all the money that I make to the government is rly kewl.

So do you ever make an argument or do you just make retarded points? Last I checked, taxes are against the fundamnetal ideals of libertarians. Actually, your little Eastern Europe section is only ideal if you're socialist.


Also, shox has a source, you don't, so you have no right to start talking **** about shox's source. As soon as you can actually substantiate your retarded claims, let me know.

You see, when I say I want a source I want an exact article I can read myself. Welcome to the scientific world, we don't fall for your ability to bull**** anymore.

How about this: If I want it, I'll use my own money for it.

Then your free to live in America.

What kind of response was that?

[TheRaiRaiEatsBalloons]

pfffffffffffft

None of you are completely correct; though Grandia's being a dick, the second you guys suggest that you're actually free in America you show that you're a delusional asshole.

There ARE places I'd rather be.

Good for you. Normal people need more power, and the rich needs less power. Capitalism needs to end. High taxes and high social services is what the world needs.
