[quote name='alonzomourning23']I sorta agree with you, except I wouldn't want to live in japan (they don't seem the most tolerant country from what I've heard). But I like canada better, or at least toronto. I like the government better, and the media (it was odd not seeing every single newsshow dominated by violence, in the u.s. it's made out to be much worse on the news than it actually is) was better. Though, I'm not sure how much of it was I like canada better, or I just loved toronto and canada was ok too.[/QUOTE]
Japan is different. It would be too hard to just pack up and move there without having been born there it would be hard to learn the way of life and of course the language. If you were born there though it seems a pleasant place to call home, to me anyways. They know respect and values and that's something we sure could use here.
Canada is real nice, I have been a couple times including toronto.
The things you mentioned are very true. Michael Moore covered it in bowling for columbine. How safe it is (no one even locks doors ?) and how different the media is. I dunno we are just bloodthirsty in the USA, LOL.
We dont wanna turn on the news and hear about something "nice" we wanna see who was murdered, robbed and raped that day.
And it sucks because you would be surprised how many people buy into all that.
How it makes so many people so paranoid when, and I mean there's nothing wrong with being safe, but some people get so freaked out they let paranoia run their life.
Take my mom for example. I hate to say this about her but she's a freak show.
She is so scared of everything. I mean she lets that 1 person who gets murdered
or something freak her out and she thinks people are getting gunned down all day long (and this is funny cause she lives in such a safe area) and she forgets that for every 1 that's murdered like a hundred thousand others walked the streets that month and went about their lives and were fine.
Again this varies by area. Would I want my mom walking alone in downtown detroit at night, no. But in the small community she lives in she has very little to worry about. And again i'm probably guilty of being paranoid, is detroit for example really as unsafe as it's made out to be ?? I doubt it. Then on the other hand they say you can walk the streets of tokyo anytime and be perfectly safe.
Of course the news does not report that, they only report the 1 single person who did happen to get gunned down. And so on and so on, that's just 1 example.
And yet on the other hand it's hard to say if we are all "the grass is greener on the other side" victims.
We can all sit here and think wow I bet Canada or Japan or Europe is so much better but i'm sure they have their negatives too. Unfortunally I doubt there is 1 "perfect" nation. Plus why is it everyone always wants to come to the USA?
There must be something good about being here though i'm getting harder pressed to see what that is...
Though I have to say perfect or not i'd sure rather be in canada or japan when someone finially gets pissed off enough at the USA for always poking our nose in their business and they send all their nukes our way
Atleast the world does not hate Canada.
Of course when they send their nukes here we will send out nukes there too, some other jumpy nations will probably join in and in a day probably half the known world will be gone, LOL. Maybe i'm just being paranoid now, but seriously, if anyone decides to lanch a nuke things are pretty much over I think. I mean HOPEFULLY no one is dumb enough to actually lanuch one cause they just know one is gonna come right back at em, but I mean who knows not everyone is all there in the head. It's just scary to know that so quickly almost the whole world could be wiped out. But I mean hey I still go about my day like normal and stuff.
