The USA Still is Horrible
Today in class we had a short discussion about Friday. Mr.Schick brought up the "accusation" that some of our minds were changed just because of that video with a couple little facts. That accusation did not pertain to me though. You could have asked me in the beginning of the year, and I would have said the same thing. Heck, you could have asked me when I was 8 and I would have still said "No". My father was very big on politics and when I was around him, he would often try to teach me about the government and politics. My dad had a very strong view on certain subjects, and one of them was whether or not the USA is the best country in the world. Since I was young, I've heard "No, but it was." and of course, since my dad was saying it, I believed him because parents are "all-knowing" when you are a child. Now that I am old enough to understand what's going on in the world and I can form my own opinion, here is my un-biased opinion. No, the USA is not the best country in the world. I can't elaborate on whether it used to be based on my own experience, but I'm gonna go with my dad on this one and agree that it probably was the greatest at one point. To close out this drawn-out blog I'm sure nobody will actually take the time to read, I will leave you with a fact that I believe shows just how bad America really is.
