This is another one of those idiots that if you don't know what you are talking about, why say anything? I can count the right things you said on one hand and still have fingers left. If this is another attempt to bash America, WHY? If you just want to start tempers flaring, WHY? I remember something I was told as a child, and I tell my kids, If you don't have anything positive to say DON'T say anything at all. If you don't like America, either don't come here or leave, it's that simple. We aren't bashing other countries.
AND ABOUT THE PASSPORT THING, AFTER 9/11 DO YOU REALLY BLAME US?

Okay, some of them are funny... but I'm having a problem with one... gasoline prices a fraction of the price of drinking water? Last time I checked, it was $3 for a gallon of gas, and $0.49 for a gallon of water.

Well I guess that leaves you with one or two options...
1. You can be glad you live somewhere that allows you to bash that country
or
2. You can take your butt somewhere else and run that mouth.
I don't understand why if people think so poorly of America, they are still here. GO somewhere else and then tell us how horrible America is...
