That is a bit contradictory, isn't it? I am not allowed to voice my opinion on this government that is so double standard, but yet people are dying in order for me to have my own opinion. If we didn't have people that bitched, you wouldn't be living in this country.
Do you know why this country was founded? Because the fathers didn't want to listen to England's bullshit anymore, so they decided to go against them and become their own place. This country was founded on bitching.
You have much to learn child.
This country was founded on the idea that all men are equal. We all have the right to our own opinions, our own idea, and to voice them without fear of retaliation from the government, yes.
That said, there are many men and women who sacrifice large parts of, if not the whole of, their lives to protect the freedoms that the rest of us enjoy. Sometimes, particularly in times of war, we need to honor the sacrifice of our fighting men and women and just stow our bitchy whining ways and keep certain of our opinions to ourselves.
There is a reason that my grandparents' generation was The Greatest, and why yours may well be The Last. I'm not perfect either. Far from it, but I tell you what, if there were more people out there like me, who are willing to put aside their "I wants" and "give me nows" and sacrifice for something, work for it, and work hard for it, well we might not be in our current predicament.
Oh, and our country was not founded on bitching. The Confederacy was founded on bitching. Many of the founding fathers, including Washington himself had been quite happy, loyal British subjects up until they were pushed too far by their government encroaching on their human rights, their civil liberties, and their ability to worship their God in a manner of their choosing. The big issue of "taxation without representation" actually had little to do with it, not that a public school can admit that in these dangerous times.
