You know my methods

Is it progressive and admirable or backward and dangerous. Is it modern and aspirational or decisive and deplorable. And why do you feel that?

It's probably a mixture of all of that in different ways. In my opinion it's progressive in ways such as civil rights, but backwards and dangerous in areas such as gun laws.
And well, if Trump gets in yada yada...

There are glimmers of greatness in our past but today I am not too cocky when it comes to living in the US. I hope someday we once again become a country that champions the freedom of the individual (and all the responsibility that comes with it) instead of the powers of the state.

I've been to the USA many many times, I have friends over there and love it. It's a beautiful country, especially New England where my friends live.

It's a beautiful country with warm, welcoming people that has crazy gun laws. It also has bigots crazies, poor world policies and a lot of rascism. Like most other countries in the world.

As Told by Troy

Man this country is sooooooo ****ed up (literally one day after a captured terrorist re-ignites the Islamophobia nonsense, yet another black man is killed by police) but as a white male living in middle-to-upper class New Jersey suburbia, most of the country's bull**** doesn't affect me directly so I'm not actively wishing I lived elsewhere.

I like their TV Shows, I like that most of them seem to love their country and are proud to be American/or living in America if they're a foreigner.
However I don't agree with some of their political stances that they tend to favour like favouring Businesses and the rich over the majority of the country that needs support. And I also don't like how some of the politicians in America try and bring God or Jesus into the discussion as to why they do certain dodgy decisions, or why they've killed other countries leaders in the past. Oh and the whole stopping their own National Health Service from happening in some corners is really not just spiteful and cruel, but also silly from anyone that isn't rich in America to not want their own NHS system to be in place so that themselves and their families can get treatment if they've got a life threatening illness. I also don't like how the President is only really used to go to war rather than actually running their own country. I also disapprove of how when a State goes bankrupt that the country as a whole doesn't try and help the State get out of the deficit. To end on a positive note I also love the look of New York, and Las Vegas looks like great fun too, and I'd want to try the other Fast Food joints out like Wendy's for example. So yeah I'm a bit mixed on America.

It's the #1 that I am gagging to visit.
I could travel all over going from state to state, city to city but I could NEVER live there, not with some of their laws/policies (guns especially). Would love to visit NYC, LA, Memphis/Nashville, Las Vegas and New Mexico and drive Route 66 some day. Like, my friend who lives there went to the ER with tonsillitis and because there was an issue with her insurance it cost her $450 for a check up and some medicine! Thank God for the NHS.

I love America. It's always my choice for a holiday.
The people are so nice and friendly (apart from New York but it's so busy it's to be expected)
