Well, I don't like it all that much. I'm not sure if I have legitimate reasons, but I don't. I would just rather be somewhere more friendly and open...
what do you mean by more friendly and open?
Out of all the people that I have told that i don't care much for the country I live in They pretty much believe that If your not living in the United States of America then you're living in a dirty third world country drinking muddy water and eating beatles and bugs. I hate that kind of mentality...
maybe that what she means by more friendly and open...Where you can share your feelings with somebody and the won't get all defensive about it.
Dang,... okay.
I'm sure not many people think that badly of other countries. I mean we know other countries live like us like the UK, China, Japan, France, Spain, etc...
And I think you can find people who are open to things. It's just that a lot of people have bias thoughs on things. You have to weed out the dimwits in every country I believe. I'm not saying America is the most open about things. I wish it was more like the UK or someplace else. Where people can express thing more freely than they do now. I'm not getting defensive.
You make true statements, however these statements aren't that powerful. You're just making general statements. I have been all over this country and I have talked with so many people for 12 years. and I have found.. that in the big cities (were most of american social data is collected) More people are open to things..but then I talked with the rich mom's and dad's of the cities and they get all defensive and are very closed minded.
It didn't matter in the mid west (Kansas, missour, oklahoma) everybody is close-minded..they say they are open-minded and i see they only hide it, but it always comes back. usually in "jokes".
People that lived in in the mid west (low-class) EXTREMELY CLOSED MINDED!!! They think they are rich compared to other foreign people.
Overall I have found more closed minded people than open minded people. I have also found people that can respect my feeling, but they still keep their close-minded feelings...because they know that life isn't about trying to change people's decisions or feelings. I sense that from a lot of people I talk to. I think that is why they get so defensive. because they feel vulnerable. They feel that it is just so easy swoop into somebody's mind and turn them into a "communist nazi" (paranoide much?)
Now don't misunderstand me. these are not directed towards you..because you don't really seem to have an opinion so I cant really add you to my list of people I have talked to. But those are the facts (based on the many people I have talked to) and there is what I think and feel about how they think and feel...(commentary..ya gotta love it).
I'm not going to lie, I've never been to the mid-west, but I have been to the south and I'm sure the people seem pretty similar, they way you put it. I feel people in small towns like that are very religious and have very strong views because they have most likely not been shown other ways of life like people from places like NY or California.
So my view is that people change depending on where they are located in the US. Not to say all people from small towns are all like this. I have met a few people who are very out there. Also people from the upper class and people who are "paranoide" about communist type view just want to remain rich. They have dreams to reach the top of the ladder, which I don't see that much needed.
My opinion on the matter is kind of in the middle, because i think America can be better but I think it's a great place to live. You can shoot for the stars and claw your way to the top anyway
you like. But the government could be better, starting with how they handle things like war, health care, education, etc. I don't like seeing homeless people and people struggling way beyond what they should be.
I respect your views somewhat.
