America is the Best Country
founder
slip a dollar in her g-string for me
If you are a US citizen, and don't agree with me, you're not a friend it TUSCL
It's simple as that
America has problems, but we're still the country everyone wants to immigrate to.

On a park bench an old man was sitting there
I said, your old courthouse is kinda run down
He said, naw, it'll do for our little town
I said, your old flagpole has leaned a little bit
And that's a ragged old flag you got hanging on it
He said, have a seat, and I sat down
Is this the first time you've been to our little town?
I said, I think it is
He said, I don't like to brag
But we're kinda proud of that ragged old flag
You see, we got a little hole in that flag there when Washington took it across the Delaware
And it got powder-burned the night Francis Scott Key
Sat watching it writing say can you see
And it got a bad rip in New Orleans
With Packingham and Jackson tuggin' at its seams
And it almost fell at the Alamo
Beside the texas flag, but she waved on though
She got cut with a sword at Chancellorsville
And she got cut again at Shiloh Hill
There was Robert E. Lee, Beauregard, and Bragg
And the south wind blew hard on that ragged old flag
On Flanders field in World War one
She got a big hole from a Bertha gun
She turned blood red in World War Two
She hung limp and low a time or two
She was in Korea and Vietnam
She went where she was sent by Uncle Sam
She waved from our ships upon the Briny foam
And now they've about quit waving her back here at home
In her own good land here she's been abused
She's been burned, dishonored, denied, and refused
And the government for which she stands
Is scandalized throughout the land
And she's getting threadbare and wearing thin
But she's in good shape for the shape she's in
'Cause she's been through the fire before
And I believe she can take a whole lot more
So we raise her up every morning
We take her down every night
We don't let her touch the ground and we fold her up right
On second thought, I do like to brag
'Cause I'm mighty proud of that ragged old flag
The Nevada whore houses don’t even compare. We are repressed in that regard. Not worth moving for though.
Cause it is not guaranteed to always be the best.
Cause before America, some other country was the best. It takes effort.
You wrote: “America has problems,”
Couldn’t agree with you more.
Your wrote, and I added:
“And if we all work on the problems - together - we can keep it the best.” Big,Huge “IF” we all...
“Cause it is not guaranteed to always be the best.” ABSOLUTELY
“Cause before America, some other country was the best.” It is a FACT, and after America some other country will be the BEST.
I believe the Fatherland will be The Best Country after America is no longer.
You're a huge part of the problem
What I looked up as the definition of fatherland
“HISTORICAL
Germany during the period of Hitler's control.
singular proper noun: Fatherland; noun: the Fatherland
Definitions from Oxford Languages”
👀
In Germany itself, the word Fatherland is still used in the usual patriotic contexts.
It's a little rough in the US these days. Will probably stay that way until more citizens get over themselves and remember it's ok to try and do things to help the country prosper beyond their own lives. But I wouldn't rather be anywhere else, especially on day that remembers and celebrates those who gave all they had.
“I mean for fuck's sake, is there anything in this country that we can just fucking agree on? Such as, I don't know, not spreading a deadly virus to other people? Nope, apparently deadly viruses are a liberal hoax. Even a pandemic becomes a left-right issue.”

This is still the best country.
It is still the best country in the world, but I have not hung the flag since 2008. While I saw some glimmers of hope during the Tea Party revolution in 2010 and 2012, the mainstream media was able to slander them largely into submission. let's be serious: how great can you consider a country to be when your last two elections were Hillary Clinton v Donald Trump and Donald Trump v Joe Biden? THIS is the best we can do? Our congress, supposedly more powerful then the executive branch, seriously entertains the kind of bullshit that was levelled against Judge Kavanaugh or used to impeach Donald Trump? The constant stream of lies and bullshit, manipulated media, and blatant malfeasance that permeates virtually every broadcast at all ours of the day?
So America is the best country in the world. as we have become a nation of spoon fed, drooling idiots watching honey boo-boo and the Kardashians; but is still better here than anywhere else.
Disparity of economic opportunity (note the emphasis on opportunity)
Universal access to health care
Realistic planning to cope with long term challenges, such as climate change
Rising nationalism, which promotes an "us" versus "them" mentality rather than a focus on the collective good and well being of your neighbors
And, more the the heart of this discussion board, a repressive, attitude about sex, including prostitution
I could go on, but remember, all things change and there is no guarantee that America will always be great.
Our Founding Fathers did not invent the American system of government out of thin air. They were influenced by their British heritage.
The colonists were British until the so-called American Revolution.
We the people of tUScl need to desacralize the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Amendments; to expose popular myths about the so-called founding fathers who were slave owners killer of natives massacring women and children.
We the people of the tUScl should help create a better world with justice for all, were it is fundamental that justice should be the same, in substance and availability, without regard to economic or social status.
This is not a Free speech issue. I own this siye. Get the fuck out.
Some great places out there....but no.
Fuck off icey, you're a worthless hater too
We will see if whoever is in charge in 2021 can fix the trajectory.
Good Lord covid really brings out the stupidity of the kept society.
There is no better place on this earth to live despite our imperfections.
But, I agree with what Electronman said.
Every era brings its own problems, that a functioning society must face and solve. A society is not going to ever stay the best unless it keeps trying (TOGETHER).
Calling others names because you disagree with them is not the best 1st step.
Thank you to ALL who have served this country. In whatever way. But on this day, especially for those who have served in the military and may have risked all for your, my, and everyone's freedom.
Winston Churchill said. “Democracy is the worst form of government, except for all the others that have been tried.”
We will self correct and get back to some form of normal life sooner or later. We have been through tougher times before.

I think Japan is the best country in the world for all the following reasons...
- No mass surveillance of its citizens.
- Tiny crime rate (you can pass out drunk on the streets of Tokyo and nobody will steal anything)
- Trust based society, people simply trust one another to do the right thing and often times they do.
- Strong family values.
- Best freedom of expression in the world (No other country can create shows like Rising of the Shield Hero, Ishuzoku Reviewers, or Kiss X Sis without it getting shutdown by moral guardians and/or ideological purists)
- Cutest, most feminine girls on Earth.
- Cheap, legal, and widespread prostitution.
- The almost complete absence of "woke culture." Many people in Japan don't even know what feminism is.
- Lowest number of homeless people per capita in the world.
- Cleanest cities on Earth, practically no graffiti or trash anywhere.
- Highest life expectancy in the world.
- Practically no political divisiveness/hatred. They are very unified.
- Group dating parties to help shy people find dates.
- And of course... Schoolgirl uniforms.
Even their previously awful work culture doesn't count against them anymore. They worked like dogs in the 1980s but there's been a major push for labor reform there and their average working hours in 2018 dropped below Canada's.
The grass is always greener.... !
A few years ago I was in a now closed dive club. There was this young Asian guy mainly hanging out by the stage wearing an ear to ear grin while he tipped the dancers.
I stepped outside to get something from my car and the Asian guy was standing outside smoking when I was returning to the club. He struck up a conversation with me so I stopped to spek with him for a couple minutes.
I asked him where he was from, he said Japan.
I was curious about what he thought of America so I asked him. He said he loved it.
I asked him how he thought it compared to Japan, he preferred America, had a job he enjoyed and was going to stay.
Now we were outside a dive bar with both some unsavory dancers and customers in a not so great area of Cleveland and this young, polite, clean cut Japanese guy preferred being here among strangers to his former home in Japan.
Yup. Greatest economy, most powerful military, a well protected Constitution that safeguards our freedoms, the ability to move freely among our various states to find the place that works best for you, food so cheap and abundant that all can eat well and our poor people are fat, etc., etc.
What an incredible place this country is. No wonder everyone is trying to get in here.

This thread reminded me of a scene from an old HBO show re: America's greatness.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z2HKbygL…
I was considering buying a Toyota Land Cruiser that a used car lot in Cleveland was selling so I drove there to check it out. The lot was owned by a early-mid 30s Arab guy and when I went to test drive the SUV the owner's younger brother came along.
While I was driving around I asked him where they were from and he said Dubai. I was honestly surprised, thinking that Dubai is probably a pretty cool place to live even though I have no first hand knowledge of it so I asked him what he thought of America and his answer basically the same as the Japanese guy, he'd rather live here than there.
So take my last 2 posts however you want, I spoke with actual young immigrants not resident spoiled brat anarchists like CJ dick pic collector and nemeshit that think our system is fucked up.
BTW, I didn't buy the Toyota. :D
So the easiest way to measure quality is to simply look at things we can actually measure and determine. And by measured data, Japan looks far ahead of us.
An apples and oranges comparison from me, but in football there are sometimes teams that move up and down the field loading the stat sheet and they come up short in the final score which led to the saying, statistics are for losers.
There are things in the life experience that can't be measured.
Reference of herbivores: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Herbivor…
That being said, in light of Japan’s MO, I do find it interesting that CC simultaneously wants to kick women out of the workforce and have men be sole providers. Seems it’s not working well for Japanese guys for whatever reason and they are rebelling against being providers.
(Also from herbivore entry) “The decision that many herbivore men make to stop working, because work and marriage in Japan are so inter-related, may have made it more difficult for these Japanese men to find marriage. Many women refuse men who do not have steady jobs (such as freeters and NEETs).[18] Other women feel that self-proclaimed sōshoku-kei danshi (herbivore men) are weak and not masculine, while some men apparently are not attracted to "independent" women”
I suspect that if CC was born as a Japanese in a similar upper middle class lifestyle as the US, I doubt he would be any happier. 😝

I know you’re a pimply-faced kid trying to be a grown up but your intellect is undeveloped, immature and every time you open your mouth it is an embarrassment though you don’t yet realize it. It’s kind of like when the twelve year old that wakes up with his first erection- you don’t know what to do with it but you want to show it off and know it feels good when you play with it. Some day if you’re lucky you will know when, where and how to use both your dick and intellect properly but today ain’t that day.
Japan is the most racist country/society in the world bar none. And those they treat the worst are mixed race Japanese and those Japanese that dare to date/marry outside of their race. They punish them by totally ostracizing them. I took this picture of a poster the police put up blaming “non-Japanese” people about two years ago in Shinjuku:
https://tuscl.net/photo.php?id=3778
They are also the most cruel society when it comes to the psychological mistreatment of women that I’ve ever encountered. They don’t beat them but they treat them as sub-humans none the less. A woman’s life is almost certain to be a tortuously lonely marriage with children confined to the home while the husband is out getting drunk or else a miserable and lonely life being an office girl which may be an even worse fate.
And of course the culture demands conformity as nowhere else. While you seem to think that the younger generation is rebelling against this, you will one day learn that you are full of shit. You can start educating yourself by some day visiting Aokigahara otherwise known as "the Suicide Forest", one of the world's most-used suicide sites and suicide is still an epidemic among the youth in what you believe is “the best country in the world”:

You know as many times as I’ve been in Japan I’ve never seen you there. Just a suggestion but maybe you should limit your comments to things that you actually know something about. Because if you don’t then you will have idiots like @CJKent quoting the stupid things you say such as:
” The political divisions in the US are almost as bad an Arab country”
And let’s be honest here, you know even less about Arab countries than you do about Japan.
I think you’re onto something. He probably lives off of “Impossible Burgers” from Burger King. They have 18 MILLION times the amount of estrogen than a burger made with beef. Just sayin’
I was walking around my campus once, and an Asian girl approached me, asking for directions. I gave them, then she started talking to me and eventually asked for my phone number. I could tell she was foreign because of her accent but she later told me she was from Tokyo Japan. When I was talking to her it was like I couldn't do anything wrong in her eyes, if I said I stayed up late, it meant I was a hard worker. I told her I wasn't staying up late because I was working but because I couldn't stop playing games on the internet and then she said I was humble. She even setup a date with me.
So basically I got approached in broad daylight, and picked up. I've never had that happen before in my life. I've been approached by drunk girls at nightclubs but never when I was just walking around. And I've never had a girl put in so much effort to get to know me and make me feel good about myself. Unfortunately I was a dumb freshman and ended up fucking it up but at least in her case, I can say with absolute certainty that I was the one that fucked that one up. She was a total sweetheart but I was thinking with my dick and not even in a smart way.
Obviously Japan, China, and South Korea are very different countries but of the three girls I've encountered from those countries. All three of them were incredibly friendly towards me. And three consistent examples is enough to show a pattern that girls from that part of the world on average are more friendly. Its not like girls like them don't exist in the US, and its not like unfriendly girls don't exist in the East Asian countries. But there is a noticeable pattern of girls simply seeming to like you more when you talk to them. They smile at you more, they ask you more questions, they try to make conversation with you. Most American girls seem to think its all the man's job to make them feel a certain way. But with these girls I got more of a feeling they really wanted to like somebody and were open in a mental way towards it. The overall vibe just feels so much nicer because you don't have to bend over backwards just to stand out from the 1,000 guys hitting her up on Tinder.
Yes because the clubs they are talking about are run by Nigerian mafia dudes. So by definition, it was non-Japanese people who are doing that.
They've been closed off for a long time, so a lot of people are not used to foreigners. And I don't particularly blame them for showing a higher level of suspicion to foreigners because foreigners are more difficult to understand from their perspective and there's a strong perception, which isn't exactly inaccurate, that foreigners are more dangerous than native Japanese are.
If anything, I've heard a lot of men there are somewhat subservient to their wives wishes. A lot of wives control all their finances and give them allowances for what they're allowed to spend their own money on. There's a lot of people putting women on pedestals in various ways in Japan. You could argue there are different problems with that, but its certainly not in the realm of "psychological cruelty." Perhaps you are simply hostile towards female domesticity.
Our suicide rates are pretty much the same.

Clearly the culture of the country doesn't mix well with you. I see blogs with commenters like you all the time and I always think to myself that you should've just stayed away rather than becoming a bitter gaijin.
Yeah I don't disagree with you on that. Financially they're in a bit of a tough spot right now. I think that's why Abe was likely very disappointed with the Olympics having to be cancelled. But I do think their advancing robot technology could help the labor shortage.
@IceyLoco
Everyone fakes a certain level of niceness but the thing is, if you fake it a lot and get used to faking it, it does become fairly genuine. There's an added layer of consideration that a lot of people here just don't think about. A couple friends of mine who've gone talk about this. Like how used goods are always in perfect condition, people still buy DVDs a lot there because internet piracy never took off making innovating in that sector essentially unnecessary. There's other stuff they told me but I can't remember they all. One of my friends is in frequent contact with people he's met during his yearly trips to Japan and he said he does believe there's a lot of genuine niceness and acceptance.
Almost, but I have a talent for making stupid decisions with girls 😂.
That said, I absolutely think that some cops are bad and way too eager to pull the trigger. That is not the country's fault. That is all on the local jurisdictions.
If the armed forces started murdering black men in the street with impunity, then we'd have a federal problem.
Racism is a moral issue, and as we all know, it's impossible to govern morals.
CC99 the grass isn't greener on the other side. If you go to Japan you'll bring the same hangups witj you ....
Plenty of non "8+" guys find girls (non Mongering) it just requires work, patience, and persistance.
To a certain extent, that is true. I know a lot of guys who are in a similar situation to me and I have actually been a bit more successful than they have because I have been a lot more determined to change the situation than they were. A lot of people have said I haven't tried but I actually have been to a lot of parties and clubs. Even when my depression was at its worst I still tried every now and then thinking "maybe this is the night it all changes." It doesn't work 95% of the time but if you go enough times you do encounter those 5% nights. I was also willing to put a lot of effort into my summer jobs to pay for strippers and hookers.
When I talk to a lot of other guys in my situation, I bring up how helpful going to prostitutes can be, and I try to tell them that they should go to bars or clubs some. You don't have to go every week or even every other week but you do have to do something. And I admittedly find that a lot of other guys in my situation simply won't do it.
But as far as the hookers go. I think that's because we've made seduction too important to men's egos. A lot of men aren't even approaching sex from a perspective of pleasure or of desire seemingly but rather from a perspective of self-esteem and self-worth. This is probably the mentality that is really holding a lot of people back is the idea that "if I don't seduce a girl myself, then it wasn't worth it." People should be approaching it more from a personal happiness standpoint because romantic relationships and sex with girls do make you happier. But instead a lot of people just seem to want the reputation boost that seducing a girl gets them.
As far as the clubs and bars go though, its because a lot of people go a few times and find that it doesn't work well so they give up. Should they be a bit more persistent, yes, but it still ignores the fact that even if you are a persistent person you run into a tremendous amount of difficulty. A lot of guys in my situation will look at me telling them to go to clubs more often and think "well you've gone to clubs a lot and I don't see you with a girlfriend." And in that sense, they are right for seeing my persistence and saying "well that didn't really work for you." It works some, but they may think the time commitment is too much to be worth it.
The truth is that the dating scene today is not what it was 10-15 years ago. In the pre-2014 era, if you had enough persistence and dedication you could do it. Now its not that simple anymore because dating apps has given all girls access to 8+ guys who give them a little bit of validation through sex without actually tying themselves down to any girls. That's why rates of sexless men have risen from 8% in 2008 to 28% in 2018.
question #2. what do they not have in common?
Despite having issues, we are still the land of opportunity, diversity and freedom! I don't care what anyone says, I love this country to death and I wouldn't ever live anywhere else. God bless the USA!
As a woman of color, I have a different relationship with this country than you and I don't like it. I guess I'm not a friend of tuscl.
You’re green again! Things are looking up.
Where are you going?
It's as simple as that!
Well that doesn’t narrow it down much. 😝 One day I’d LOVE to do an extended backpacking trip all over. But alas being a dog owner complicated that.
I also believe I made a post here like a year ago saying I realized being a paralegal made me hate the idea of being a lawyer, so I switch career paths into something that I feel will be more advantageous and lucrative for me in the future. At this point, you remind me of a Biggie lyric: "gee whiz, mothafuckas STILL in my biz." It's old, I've had enough. You creep me out and I'm starting to feel like you're some sort of disgruntled former customer I refused sex to who now wants to know all my business for some reason beyond my knowledge.

No, wrong Nina. You're talking about someone else. THIS Nina, called Ninabambina, has been planning on moving to Europe for almost a year now. COVID19 stalled this Nina's move. This Nina was going to move August or Septmber. And since this has been being planned by her pre-covid19, it could not logically be interpreted as being because of George Floyd's death unless this Nina is clairvoyant.
I'm sure this "other Nina" is cool though and I respect her decision to leave, as well as mine.
NIIIIINAAAA
But whether it's you or any "other Ninas" I too respect your decision to leave. You're one of the few doing something about your displeasure. Nothing I respect less than protests and anger as a pretense to wanting change but doing absolutely nothing to achieve it.
Wish you nothing but the best. Good luck.

Much like law school I'm sure you'll be telling us in five years that your 3 day trip to Cancun convinced you that you didn't really want to live abroad.
