Example: A bodybuilder comes to America from Austria with $75, little to no English, overstays his tourist visa by 2 years. 25 years later he is worth $250 million and runs the 7th largest economy in the world and this place called California. Try that in Russia or Turkey?
Now, I've also been to Turkey and seen mass poverty especially outside the cities. I can assure you you will NEVER see this type of poverty in the US. Our tent cities are for people who want to live there, made very bad choices, or mentally ill. If not, why would there be 16 million (1/2 the population of Canada) illegally working here?
Our freedoms are not going in the toilet. You need to be here to understand our politics. Example: I can go buy an assault rifle and a case of beer on election day. Go try that in your country. :1orglaugh

i never compare Tr and US each other economically, in fact i didn't mean to insult Americans though, what i meant was, "Land of freedom" which US has been called in it's history turning to shitty country day by day and almost no one shows any reaction against this.
as i said above, no need to been to US for having clue about it, in real life and thru internet i have Russian and American friends and 2 Americans closely i m doing business together with.
additionally i don't understand why some of You American's example is always about rifles when it comes to freedom,
in Norway You can't even buy a toy gun, but i never heard of Norwegians complaining about it, because they can have fun, they can do what ever they want and no one tries to mess their freedom though.
as of myself i m a 100% Turk in blood, not because constitution said so, My ancestors were most famous soldiers/warriors all over the world, even today we have one of the strongest armies in NATO, so You can expect me to have sempaty to guns also, however if they even ban all guns i could really care less, because freedom of speech is the one of the basic things/ needs for human.
anyway, what's my main point is if i were You, even someone from Iran or North Korea tells my freedom flushed thru toilet, i would put my hat in front of me and would think about it.
these Countries Situation being worst then Us, doesn't mean someday we can't be like them.
so please think one more before You write, maybe Today You're better then us, but it doesn't mean tomorrow we can't be better then You :2 cents::thumbsup
