I rarely talk about politics anywhere. I consider myself neutral. I don't agree with things that are going on with my country..YET I still love it here.
I have a friend..more like an acquaintance who left America to move to Bangkok. Because he didn't like how things where being runed here. That's cool you know, if you don't like it here go somewhere else. BUT don't bash on America and expect people to sit back and take it. That was the case tonight. I occasionally talk on the phone with him or play on Xbox live. But somehow politics came into our conversation we where having. I think I might of poked fun on the recent riots his area had a few months back. He went on and on about how AWFUL America is and how it's going to hell yada yada...he even went as far as saying there will be a Civil War VERY soon.
As soon as I started defending my country, it sort of escalated. And again I would defend it, and it got to the point to where he just shut up. Mentioning that only people who believe America will implode, is the ONLY people who he could talk to and rely on. It was an awkward couple of games of Call of Duty 4. And I'm pissed that I wasted several hours talking to him about it. The type of person who thinks he's so much better than an American. It was just WEIRD. After all that I'm going to distance myself from him..because I know that when we talk, it will eventually turn into an extremist crazed rant.
America has been good to me, and hasn't screwed me over...YET No country is perfect...if you don;t like it GET THE F(&^% OUT.
