The educational system in the United States is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, it has problems just as every educational system has problems no matter what country you reside in. I would say this, our educational system is better than most, there are others that have more success. I think what is very different in the United States compared to many other places in the world is that there is more opportunity to educate yourself, more information available with fewer restrictions on having access to it.
No religious beliefs
Education is important regardless if you seek a college education, or you seek to educate yourself.
I love living in the United States, so many different cultures, such a huge mix of culture and race. I live in an area of California that is more racially diverse than anywhere else in the world. Literally, you can travel a few city blocks and experience several different ethnic foods and cultures. There is a rich variation of places to live, mountains, forest, ocean, desert, tundra, rain forest and on and on. Every type of environment you can dream up and opportunities that abound.
I have been fortunate to have been able to travel all over the world. There are many beautiful and stunning places that I love to visit regularly. Being a US Citizen allows for me to travel to more places of the world than most countries. If you love to travel, being a US Citizen is certainly a huge benefit. Europe is interesting in that it is far more ancient in everything from cities to culture and although I would like to stay in certain places for a time, I will always be glad and grateful to be able to come back to the United States, it's where I best fit in.
I used to believe marriage was important, however, I believe if two people truly love and desire to be with each other being married or not really doesn't matter. To me it seems more a religious ceremony, and steeped in religious beliefs.
Love to travel, I am very fortunate being a US Citizen as travel is far easier for us, than it is for other citizens of other countries.
In the United States, voting is a privilege, a right, but not a requirement. I don't agree with many of the things our government does, but that has little to do with how I personally feel about my country. Government can be changed after all. However, if I do not feel I have a good choice of candidates, I will choose not to vote for what people might call the lessor of two evils. I believe doing so is still voting for evil. I think it matters how many people choose to vote, as it shows how citizens feel about the choices made available. People in other countries seem to think that Americans who do not vote are just simply lazy, this is not the case, Americans have reasons for voting, and for not voting. As the choices become worse, the people to choose from worse, fewer people vote.
I don't know of anyone who doesn't like Ice Cream. Of course.
I think the original intent of our founding fathers is a better system of government than the one currently practiced in the United States. It was the intent of our founding fathers that we be a Republic, yet we have evolved into something else. It might be that a parliamentary form of government might prove better, but I cannot be sure of this. Because of the fierce independence and individualism that Americans love so much, it might be that we currently have in place the best form of government. It's difficult to know, and it's not like we can try out different forms of government, we can evolve, slowly, into other forms as we have from what our government was originally compared to what it is today.
