Traveling and living in other countries years of my life the US is by far the best place in the world for free speech and starting a business from nothing and why I don't put up with European, foreign, or fucking Canadian rhetoric. Most now trolling, but what caught even me off guard was the American bashing and mean spirited by popular non-American business people back in 2009. The Canadians and Europeans showed true colors as to this day they fucking disgust me. Obviously not all as a very few dutch and most of the Aussies were supportive.

Anyway, the reason I mention this is I am starting to see this type of rhetoric and behavior slowly coming common place with our kids. You know the Canadian and European elitist snooty I fucking tried, so I deserve something regardless if I succeeded, as they almost get hostile if you tell them a simple no. Or Have you ever played chess with a stranger on a plane, park, or wherever as he knows you've already beat him 5-8 moves, but still wastes 20 fucking minutes hoping you'll make a simple bored mistake so they win on a technicality? Canadians and Europeans (not all) on this board are exactly the chess guy I mentioned. They'll insult you with labels because you don't want to play as they still can't understand, it's not so much about winning or losing, but how you actually played the game.

You see our forefather have been through this type of rhetoric and behavior before as the only safeguard against it was for every American to have the right to protect themselves from it. The second Amendment.

Long, was going to blog about it anyway.
