Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category?
Maybe give some free advice about: Work/School Relationships?
I've lived and worked overseas and every country has its quirks and its good points. The political discussion here in the U.S. is about the level of a bunch of squabbling eight year olds and the economy is for crap right now. But I still consider myself very, very lucky to have been born in California. What a wonderful place to grow up and live, at least for me.

Like most countries we have good people and bad people. We have people who think the laws do not apply to them and others that live by breaking the laws.
Where we differ from many other countries is that we are a Constitutional Democracy. This means our government is at the will of people. It may not seem like it sometimes but the rules of law apply to all and eventually those who seek to bend or break the law are punished.
Our Constitution and the Amendments to it guarantees us a great many freedoms. At times some of those freedoms are abused and even work against those of us that are law abiding citizens.
For those who seek to destroy our way of life and the freedoms we enjoy. They look at us as one might look at a spoiled little rich kid. Yes, by the standards they live by we are rich, by many other standards we are not.
Let me explain it this way. Many years ago we had an exchange student from Russia stay with a member of our family. It was a great culture shock to her at first. At first she was convinced that because of her being an exchange student the family members she was living with were afforded extra privileges.
Privileges such as shopping at the supermarket that only the members of the party could shop at. Having one car was really something, having a phone amazed her. Seeing women driving was something she had never before seen. Then to find out the the average family had two and three cars, two phone lines and there were supermarkets on almost every block; well this took awhile for her to absorb and get use to. Her entire life was spent being told these things were not possible and only those in power could have them because of their need for them. It was also enlightening for us to see our world; a world we have taken for granted through her eyes.
I don't know the why of what is behind the reason of those that seek to destroy our way of life. I believe if they had the opportunity to see our way of life through this exchange students eyes; then maybe we would not be fighting this war on terrorism. Understanding is the great equalizer and I commend you for asking your question.

I have also lived in America my entire life
We do have a lot of freedom but we also have laws we need follow just as if you'd go pretty much anywhere. People are decent, We have good people and we have bad people. As far as lifestyle, It's different for everyone. Some people are better off then others, The economy these days makes it hard for some. Jobs are very difficult to find and it leaves many reliant on the Government for help. There of course are good, There of course are bad
The Government.....Well I'm not a big fan of politics so I don't really pay attention to that.

I have lived here my entire life (In Florida) and compared to other countries, I would say we have a lot of freedom here. We are a democracy which I happen to like.
People are good-natured. Of course, there are going to be some crazies, but in general, people mean well and are kind as well as helpful.
I'm not sure what else to tell you, except that I appreciate the life I have here.
