GreenEyes 1,130 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Said I wouldn't post in here anymore but I had to. Are you telling me your neighbors don't go shooting every morning and you don't see a gun rack at every restaurant? I work at a restaurant, the gun rack is in the back Some of you talking about how bad the US is don't even know what you're talking about Run down neighborhoods? Guns everywhere? Yes there have been numerous shootings and it is sad, but you don't see guns pulled out everywhere and shouldn't be afraid to go outside. I live in Montana (a big hunting state) so almost everyone (besides my Californian family) owns a gun. I don't see guns everywhere? Basically you don't live here, I don't live in your country, I couldn't tell you what it's like there, you can't tell me what it's like living here.

I agree, these people thinks that stereotypes about Americans are true. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HeavyPunkLover 2,120 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 In the USA you can have: Health care Good schools And many other services ONLY IF YOU ARE RICH. This article is misleading and in no way it represent the quality of life. "Just because you know my name, doesn't mean you know my game" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that you don't see a lot of guns around does not excuses the fact that you have a gun rack in a restaurant. And this is the worring part. The dust under the bed is still there even if you can't see it. "Just because you know my name, doesn't mean you know my game" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morphine Prince 109,684 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 If I get hit by a bus the country looks after me without checking if I can pay first. So I can deal with it. ER's in the US are forced to treat everyone by law, just in case you didn't know. Even if you can't pay. BUT the health care issue here is a mess.

So does the US. With Obamacare it is illegal to turn someone away because they can't pay upfront/don't have insurance.
