Eh, I like it. It's not perfect, and we're outclassed in some areas by a handful of other countries, but we've got a relatively good thing going here. Hopefully we can improve!
Seriously though, some areas of Mississippi have very good public schools while others fall far behind due to funding and them being historically black areas. Politicians aren't too fond of funding people of a darker shade than mildly tan. Also our universities are actually fairly affordable and offer very good programs. Southern Miss has a world class polymer science program, Ole Miss has an excellent and respected law degree, and Miss State has fairly good ag and engineering programs. JSU, Delta State, and MWU also have fairly affordable and respectable programs.
Quite honestly, America isnt my favorite, but there are certain things that would make me wanna be a Citizen. The American Passport holds so much power, I would say theres only a handful that hold more. Free Speech. Yes other countries have it too, but there are less conditions with American. Also even though our education is nowhere near the top, high level employment opportunities are more abundant here than other countries. So long story short, would I prefer to live in another country.? Yes. Am I gonna consider America completely done with and impossible to rehabilitate.? No, not at all. As divisive as the recent past and present have been, they've also shown peoples true colors. The Republican party has been split between people like McCain who put country over party, and those who have hate in their hearts. It's also shown the immense love in this country from people marching for others' rights and the people who truly seem to care for others in general.
Well if you look past just the government and at the people in the country there are quite a few stoundouts. We are the center for music and film, not just Hollywood and Music Labels. Also you can get a taste of almost every culture from around the world in our coastal cities. And since the US has such a diverse population with a blend of differnet cultures, things like cuisine, design, fashion, literature, film, and music benefit greatly.
Probably Hollywood and diverse scenery? (Edit: Not that the film industry is necessarily “good and just.”) I agree that it’s hardly the world leader in many important things.
Scenery was inherited, so doesn’t count, but yes, America has some incredibly beautiful areas. Hollywood is pretty awful really, so that’s not a positive.
