I need to rant.

Ok, how do i start off..

Hm.. I HATE when people say all these things about the country we live in (U.S.A) I kind of understand when people from different countries say rude things about Americans and the United states, but the people that were born and raised here, the people that have never even traveled elsewhere.. Where does this come from?
Most people I know say things like "I hate this country, the people, and EVERYTHING about it."

Umm, most of these people just say this because everyone else does. They have no valid reason behind this, they have no explanation as to why they "feel" that way. Yes, I do know that this country hasn't been too uh, great these past years, but it's NOT complete crap as others want to make it seem. They've obviously never traveled to most other parts of the world (neither have I) But I'm not stupid enough to say we have it SOOOO horrible and that this country is shit. I am patriotic, I am proud of what I am and where I am from. I am Mexican American. Not just Mexican, not just American. BOTH. because I am both. It makes me laugh how people born here only embrace one thing, as if saying both is terrible.

As I said, there are unfortunate circumstances going on, BUT.. come on, seriously?

Another thing, the majority of the people that say these things NEVER even talk about wanting to leave, (putting aside that some are too young) they don't ever make plans to leave, or to travel to a different part of a world. HELL, not even across the country. If you hated something or some place SOOOO much as you always claim, wouldn't you have it in  your head to leave when you were able to? wouldn't you plan it out? wouldn't you plan ahead? Of course I understand that it's not as easy as getting up to leave and making a living somewhere else.. still though. I don't understand.

It's almost "cool" to say "America sucks" It's something everyone says without thinking. They don't even have a reason or solid explanation to say such things. If you are going to make statements as such at least be able to explain why.
"It just sucks."  Isn't a reason.. just saying.

Why does it seem "dirty" to be patriotic? Fuck that.

End rant. (for now)
