So just again to satisfy my own curiosity. I would really like to hear what your thoughts/answers are on these questions. They are kinda yes and no questions. However, if you would like to add more to them, please feel free to do.

If you wanna answer them all, some or none it is all fine! All answers are appriciated!

So here we go!

Do you:

1) Think your educational system is good?
2) Have a religion?
3) Think it is important to get an education?
4) Do you like to live in the USA?
5) Have you been to Europa?
6) Think marriage is important?
7) Do you like to travel?
8 ) Do you think enough people vote in your country?
9) DO you like Ice-cream?

Now the next question you can skip! if you do wanna avoid yes/no questions:

10) In your own opinion. What sort of system of government do you think suits your countrey the best?

I hope you have time to answer these question.

Also Hope you have a good day/evening, best of wishes from me!

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.

@CesareBorgia This was wonderful! Thank you! It feels a bit weird for me to be kinda "grading" replies. But I did really love and appriciate this. Thank you very much.

Not that I am here to judge or anything. So I hope you do not mind me saying. But I loved your responds, and many of your thoughts. Thanks a lot.

I am also very glad to hear that you like to live in the US. It is always nice when people are satisfied where they are.

Best of wishes from me, and again thanks a lot.

Cheers

I like to travel, yes been to Europe once, I don't believe in marriage, I've grown to love living in the u.s. even though I think I would try living somewhere else if it wasn't for the language barrier, I get sick of the drama in politics. I feel education is important, college is good, it's just not meant for everyone
AllAboutTheFacts · 31-35, M
@swandfriends Thanks for taking your time in answering my questions. It is appriciated. Glad to hear that you love to live in the US.

Best of wishes from me.

1) Think your educational system is good? No.
2) Have a religion? Yes.
3) Think it is important to get an education? Yes, but there should be lessons on how to live independently, spend and save money wisely, rent a home/apartment, etc.
4) Do you like to live in the USA? Somewhat, but I've never lived anywhere else so I don't have a comparison.
5) Have you been to Europa? No.
6) Think marriage is important? No.
7) Do you like to travel? No, I'm very lazy.
8 ) Do you think enough people vote in your country? I don't know, I'd have to do some research on that before forming my own opinion.
9) DO you like Ice-cream? It's okay, not my go-to snack though.
10) In your own opinion. What sort of system of government do you think suits your country the best? I like it the way it is. It has it's ups and downs, but I don't wish it to be changed.

I think you will find most Americans have to short an attention span to answer your question
AllAboutTheFacts · 31-35, M
@swandfriends Okay, I just had to be sure. (: I would hate it, if I offended someone. Since it is not my attention. Thanks for clearfying it for me! it is appricated. For me a comment can either be a great one, or not. I think you guys proved her comment wrong. I am glad for all of you who took the time to answer my questions.

Best of wishes.

Cheers

You seem to be curious. I don't mind that, I just don't like how people say stuff like ALL Americans are stupid, or something. It also makes me mad when my fellow Americans say that ALL Muslims are bad people, a large majority of them might be, but that doesn't go for ALL of them
AllAboutTheFacts · 31-35, M
@swandfriends I can understand that. However, in my experience. I have found it that people often say that. Because they neither are interested in writing something constructive, they do simply wanna cause harm or get attention. Some might even not know not to use the word truth, or all correctly. Not that I have any idea why people do it. Just some of the things I have experienced to be the case.

Cheers
1. No. The education system in my area is crap unless you pay for the private school.
2. No. I very much dislike religion, but I'm surrounded by those who are strong believers.
3. I think there's lots of ways to make a decent living.. Especially with all the new opportunities offered by the internet. Having a formal education doesn't mean much in my particular area.. but learning and studying things that are interesting is something important to me. Always growing and learning is very important.. becoming stagnant and ignorant like so many around me is my greatest fear.
4. No. I hope to leave this country as soon as I get the chance. I don't like the medical system in this country. It seems shady to me. If I can't do that, I intend to move somewhere more aligned with my beliefs and life style.
5. I wish. I've never left this continent.
6. No. Marriage is just a financial contract to me. If I want to be with someone, I'm going to be with them. I don't need a contract to prove anything.
7. Yes, I love travelling. I haven't gotten a chance to travel outside of my state for fun in several years, though.
8. I don't really have an opinion on this one, to be hobest.
9. Yes, but sugar is rough on me. I like to make my own sugar free.
10. I don't really have an opinion on this one either. I like the way our system is set up, I just don't think we adhere to it as well as those who set it up intended for us to.
1) Hell no
2) Gave up that garb
3) Very much so
4) Yes 99% of the time
5) No (assuming you meant Europe and not one of Jupiter's moons)
6) Not especially
7) Yes (just never know what to do when I am)
8 ) Not enough of the people that matter when representing a population
9) Hand dip all the way
10) Certainly not what we have now. Perhaps a mildly anarchic system that still focuses on capitalism

@bijouxbroussard Bijoux my response was somewhat tongue in cheek and I fully appreciate that many Americans are, like you, capable of deep and cogent thought. Take care friend 🙂
@Dlrannie 😊👍🏼
