America the Beautiful

I have to disagree. It's not a bad looking flag but it would look better without the gun. And no I'm not anti-gun, it just doesn't look right on a national flag.

I like the gun. It reminds me of the sleeve for this The Clash single

Must watch video.

Iowa woman posts video of 'obscene' Santa display

TikTok user Amber Ann Zink's husband apparently forgot to tie Saint Nick's hand up so it would be waving in their light display on the roof of their home, and it ended up being an 'obscene' scene.

I love this guy! He realizes and appreciates America for who and what she is, warts and all, and doesn’t hesitate to speak his mind….because he knows he now has the freedom to do so.

Saw him on FOX last night. Said when he first came here 6 years ago he heard some teammates criticizing the president which I assume was Obama. He quickly admonished them to stop and be careful. That just wasn't done back in Turkey. Said they laughed and told him he was free to do so in America. Man talk about a guy who loves this country!

Which if I had read the story first would've seen that was covered.

If you have a nice pension and good savings then the U.S. is hard to beat. If you don't there are options.

Many doctors in Latin America were trained in the States and speak excellent English.

Not sure, are you agreeing with me?

More or less. I don’t have the same faith you have in doctors south of the border. They may be good but resources aren’t available to support them.

Depends on the hospital. Most major cities in Mexico for example have at least one hospital that's at First World standards. It's important to find out which hospital that is and to make sure you're taken there in an emergency. Colombia, especially Medellin, has excellent healthcare. So too does Buenos Aires, Argentina. The biggest plus is generally I can pay as I go for most things needed.

In decent areas guns aren't needed. The far southern countries have lower violence rates than the U.S. And that was before the 2020 riots.

I like a firearm in my home at least. Never relied on others to save me and mine.

"Decent" areas have nothing to do with it. Plenty of crime is happening in "decent" areas now days.

In other words don't go into higher crime areas at night, etc. I'm talking about Argentina. Most people even in the U.S. don't walk around with a gun.
