I envy those who don't live in America

People say this is the greatest country in the world but they couldn't be more wrong. The people are sheep, they're controlled by corporations and eat up everything the government says, the standard acceptable IQ levels seem to be equivalent to that of a prime ape and the general quality of life is negligible at best.


In short, I envy the people who live in modern countries outside the US. Especially those who enjoy culture rich, truly open minded and intelligent societies.

I plan to move from this country in a few years.

Any one in the same boat as me?

No, not at all....you should try to move out ASAP if you really feel that way.

I've been to Canada and Australia, and they are better than the u.s by far. healthcare, workers rights, the people in general...etc.
