Me: I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL COLLEGE. Freedom, dorm rooms, late night parties, freedom--
Mom: We all know you'll either be studying or on the computer.
If liberals are so
f.uckin' smart, how
come they lose so godda.mn always?
And with a straight face, you're going to tell students that America is
so starspangled awesome that we're the only ones in the world who have freedom? Canada has freedom, Japan has freedom, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia, Belgium has freedom! Two hundred and seven sovereign states in the world, like 180 of them have freedom.
And yeah, you... sorority girl. Just in case you accidentally wander into
a voting booth one day, there are some things you should know, and one of them is:
There is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we're the greatest country in the world.
We're seventh in literacy, twenty-seventh in math, twenty-second in science, forty-ninth in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, third in median household income, number four in labor force, and number four in exports. We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next twenty-six countries combined, twenty-five of whom are allies.
None of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt a member of the
Worst. Period. Generation. Period. Ever. Period,
So when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what the f.uck you're talking about! Yosemite?
We sure used to be. We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral reasons, we passed laws, struck down laws for moral reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chest. We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and we cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy.
We reached for the stars, acted like men. We aspired to intelligence;
we didn't belittle it; it didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and we didn't scare so easy. We were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered. The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one.
America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.

I
always wonder why
birds stay in the same place
when they can fly
anywhere on the earth.
Then I ask myself
the same question.
birds stay in the same place
when they can fly
anywhere on the earth.
Then I ask myself
the same question.
Felt like the weight of the world was on my shoulders
Pressure to break or retreat at every turn
I want freedom.
From myself.
From my thoughts.
From my inner demons.
I want freedom.
From myself.
From my thoughts.
From my inner demons.
I want freedom.
I hold on.
to the things i believe in,
my faith, your love, our freedom.
The
secret
to
happiness
is freedom... And
the
secret
to
freedom
is
courage
-Thucydides
Nothing lasts forever. So live it
up, drink it down,
laugh it out, avoid all the bullsh!t, take chances,
and never have regrets
laugh it out, avoid all the bullsh!t, take chances,
and never have regrets
