-Nearly 10,000 killed by guns annually. People even stick military style weaponry.
-Police problems every week somewhere over misuses of guns.
-Schools a regular place for shootings. More police looking like military must be a hell of a dangerous living.
-Proportionally amongst the highest forin the world in jail - and executions many found later to be flowed. .
-People in death row for years sometimes a decade. Disgusting and form of torture.
-Half the world's military expenditure. Over 400 bases world wide and still increasing.
-A million a year lose their homes.
-Forty million poor on food stamps (quite a percentage population-wise. Can't all be stupid or worse prob.
-Many of poor die as too poor for meds.
-More spy agencies than the old USSR and the 3rd Reich. And a dumbness as "security" used.
-For all the Constitution people constantly spied or hampered. Phone, pc, mobile phone not secure.
-CIA torture regime for years.
-Concentration Camp Cuba (shouldn't be there). Even innocents declared still in it. Recognising sovereignty?
-Tries to corner Russia because won't give in to routine US attempt to control the world by US Cold War.
-Political system out of date and fewer people coming out to vote which says something.
-Race is still a big problem in the political system.
-What passes for a parliament is run by a millionaires club and all funded in background by corporates.
Yet, even with what RJ lists as his overwhelming reasons not to go there, America is still the most desired place where peoples from all around the world still wish to migrate to. People obviously think the price is miniscule in comparison to the Freedom, Liberty, & Opportunity that is available to those who wish to work hard for it - in RJ's hell hole - in the Good Ole U S of A (note below, more than 3x as many than desire RJ's UK)
[glow=blue,2,300]138 million foreign adults want to immigrate to The USA [/glow]
The Gallup Organization just released the results of a poll of 500,000 people worldwide. It turns out that America is the first choice destination for 138 million adult would-be immigrants. (Their children would no doubt add scores of millions more, bringing the total up to around, say, 200,000,000.)
And America Jr. (i.e., Canada) is the first choice of 37 million adults, and America's nephew Australia is the first choice of 26 million.
Most of those would likely go to America instead if they could get in.
About 13% of the world's adults -- or about 630 million people -- say they would like to leave their country and move somewhere else permanently. For roughly 138 million people, that somewhere else would be the U.S. -- the No. 1 desired destination for potential migrants. Canada, France, and the U.K. also rank among some of the other top choices for potential migrants.
Put that in yer book RJ .... Yer alone .... In the end all yer stats mean dick squat
