As my family members from Guatemala said, to any ungrateful jerk in the United States that takes things for granted, be happy that you have a roof over your head, be glad that you can purchase cheap food, be glad that you can say whatever the hell you want to say, be glad that you can decide to make excuses or work your way up. If any people similar to you thinks the U.S. is pathetic in general. I would suggest you go to any country in South or Central America where you have to work your ass off to survive. By survive I mean: •Growing food •Hunting food •Not being murdered by drug lords •Not being murdered by anyone •Avoiding getting sick •Being hydrated because no AC •Having enough water •Having strength to walk a few dozen miles to a river or creek to collect water •Having to live in a house made out of dirt/ mud •Having to protect yourself from the wild •Protecting yourself from mother nature's wrath •...and so on I do get angered by idiots who say the U.S. is pathetic, especially when they are generalizing because you take so much shit for granted. Maybe if somehow these things were to get taken right from under you, you would not even call the nation "pathetic".
