Overall, 39% of U.S. adults say they are “extremely proud” to be American in the most recent poll.

Meanwhile, only 18% of those aged 18-34 said the same, compared to 40% of those aged 35-54 and 50% of those 55 and over.

18% is still too high. As Obama’s pastor said, God damn America! Americans have very little to be proud of at this point.

      That’s the point. Your life is good as long as you have money. The second you have even a small problem, like beeing unable to work for a year or two, you are doomed. That is something that people from most Europe countries don’t have to worry about that much. Sure something like there would realy suck there too, but no matter what happens to you you can allways be sure to live a human worthy life. You get Healthcare no matter how little money you have. And if you realy have problems you get money for a place to live and food.

      So no I don’t think living in the US is better than living in Europe. It probably was in the past, but while European countries evolved the US stayed the same and is now in basic human rights mediocre at best.
