you know, i try to be totally UN-racist to all communities, black, white, deaf, hearing, blind, sighted, etc, so it's taken a lot for me to say this:

i think america is possibly the most f*cked-up country on earth. kids d*cks are routinely chopped off for "religious" or pseudo-medical reasons, innocent peoples' telephone lines are bugged, each state governor (who seems answerable only to his/herself) can make or retract laws on a whim, people go nuts when janet jackson accidentally exposes a breast (yet showing violence seems to ok), a game where a ball is hardly ever, if ever, touched by the foot is called "football" (no doubt just to annoy the english, which is really childish - i'm sure calling english football "soccer" was just to annoy the english too), kids get carted off to juvenile detention centres for firing elastic badns or handcuffed because they won't obey a teacher who is frightening them, men and women get groped at airports or/and otherwise humilated/violated, and worst of all, there's no revolt, there's no mass outcry, worst of all, the citizens are DEFENDING all that cr*p in the name of "security" and other pseudo-reasons. i mean come one, is every american on crack or something??!!
