Do you think it is in poor taste to come to the US to live and then criticize us!
Question: Heck, if you don't like the US so much, then why did you come here in the first place? Am I right, or off base with these questions?

Well if I've offended you, I'm sorry. Not everyone gets my humour....
Is this in regard to the spell check question? Hmm...just wondering.
It was all done in jest.
no, i live here and i hate it.
Yes but freedom of speech still prevails
you are so right, this is a free country so please don't try to change it.
It might be in poor taste, but the US isn't perfect by any means...there is plenty to criticize, whether you were born here or not...
very
I dont think it is poor taste to criticize, as long as you came here legally. Complaining is your right if you came here legally.
Well perhaps they came here because they didn't truly understand how bad the US sucks. Now they do and now they criticize it.
Well some people move to the US because of their living conditions in their previous country. I know a couple of people who moved here to avoid violence or war.
No-no, you're right--absolutely. However, because I was born here, I'm allowed to make fun of people that are the same color and religion as me.
I agree, if we're a good enough country for someone to move to, then they should respect us enough not to bash us.
no, complaining about america is one the most american things you can do. it is basically how the whole thing got started
no...everyone has there opinion...and they wouldt have moved ther if they didt like it
You have a point but being a US citizen I have to admit that this country, while probably the greatest in the history of the world, is not perfect. So why not criticize things that are not right?
Yes
Not at all....but the fact of the matter is that we (Americans) let them, not only that but we also give them free medical, education, have to learn their language, food stamps, the list goes on and on....
well the first peeps that conquered this place were foreigners. They were brits, but then there were frenchies and germans too...all foreigners made this country and yet america just seems to hate em anyway. THe irony is right obvious. But it's annoying sure, id just be like "shut the hell up, i know this country sucks."
Dear Squirrel,
I live in England (the other side of the Atlantic Ocean) and we have the same problem/question.
People come here supposedly because they didn't like their own country and then set about putting us down. I can only assume if we went to their own country we would criticise it too! Mind you we would have a reason to do it!!!!!
Yes, I agree. If you come here to live and don't like it, you should find another place to live that doesn't give the immigrant so many benefits.
100% correct. We have enough people like Hillary bashing us
Yes. If you come here by choice, then don't criticize. If you don't like it, go back to where you came from or go somewhere else. There are a lot of other places to live.
Off base. People have a right to their opinion. Besides, Americans go to other countries all the time and criticize them...and even worse, they try to FORCE American ways on everyone else. It's called imperialism.
I like your concept and totally agree BUT that is part of our greatness. You can live here and complain about it.
I may not like what you are saying but will fight to the death to defenf your right to say it.
The saying goes something like that....you get the idea.
Yes you are right and I will help load the bus back to where they came from.Don't get me wrong there are people that came and are trying to live the usa way .They are trying to learn our ways and abide by our law. The % of these people is very low....I would say the 95% of all people from other countrys that come here by what ever means hates us and just wants our country for there selfs..They need to be sent back where they come from .
Yes its in poor taste.. Heck dont bite the hand that feeds you and that is what we are doing feeding them..
What the others have failed to see, is that there is constructive criticism and destructive criticism.
Your scenario is about destructive criticism. And I agree with you.
In addition, these destructive criticizers are disrespectful and that is unacceptable.
I agree, I was born here and I know that this country is far from perfect but if you come from somewhere else and hate it so much.........go home~~
absolutly poor taste.... it's just not cricket old boy.
Imagine someone coming to your house and telling you how crappy it is, the funiture sucks, and the lighting, OH MY... the LIGHTING absolutly sucks... what do you do, live in a cage?
Your wifes a wh0re, and your kids are brats... etc etc.
you, like me, would kick Azz and they're gone.
How is this different? In my eyes, it's not. NOBODY comes into MY house and pulls that crap...
but oh yes... freedom of speech and all that.. hmph. You gotta earn it with blood, like the founders of this country. Half of wisdom is knowing what NOT to say... but the punks, jerks and the like, think that freedom of speech means OBLIGATION of speech and hides it under the constitution.
don't get me started.
Just my two cents
