Anyways, here are 10 reasons why I definitely have no interest in ever living in the USA again.

10)The fact that the United States has become a modern day Nazi Germany, nobody can stop the United States government from doing whatever the hell it wants.

9)The fact that the United States government is willing to bankrupt itself to protect the interests of Israel.

8)The fact that you cannot be president of the USA without being religious, and of course religious means Christian.

7)The fact that you cannot be president of the USA without pandering to Israelis, nobody else in the world, just them.

6)The fact the the USA executes people while at the same time not allowing a human being the individual freedom to choose when they want to die peacefully, without living in miserable pain.

5)The fact that the US puts people behind bars for a small amount of marijuana, absolutely ridiculous on so many levels.

4)The fact that the US government has money for wars but no money for health care.

3)Election fraud in the US, by a government that prances around the world preaching “democracy.” Meanwhile, we have electronic voting machines with no paper trail and we elect presidents who receive less votes.

2)Taliban Christians. These people want to send American education back to the dark ages and politicians support this agenda to keep people dumb and blind.
1)The fact that the US government can’t even balance it’s fucking check book. So what else should they expect from their citizens?

Sounds like I’m a real un-patriotic asshole, and perhaps I am seeing as how I don’t wear a US flag lapel pin. But I am American and I have a right to my opinion. Despite what any fascist, police state supporting fuck nut might otherwise say.

Ironically, my memory of Memorial Day actually failed me today because I live in Amsterdam now. I remembered Friday but then forget, until I came on the internet today. Since it’s not a holiday here it just slipped me.

The holiday equivalent of Memorial Day in The Netherlands is Remembrance day, which occurs on May 4th each year. Remembrance Day honors Dutch civilian and military personnel who have died since the beginning of World War II. On May 5th, the Dutch celebrate their liberation from German occupation that occurred from 1940-1945.

And even though American forces played an integral role in the liberation of Holland, it’s usually not good form to say something like “My Grandpa saved your Grandpa during the war” to a Dutch person. Although, if you’re really hell bent on saying this to a European, definitely say it to a Dutch person as they generally are very tolerant of things, shockingly so sometimes! And if you really want to piss someone off, say that to a French person!

Anyways, happy ‘Kicking Ass and Taking Names Day’ everyone!
