Well... for starters... you have more freedom here than anywhere else while having many luxuries also easily obtained...& thanks to the internet & freedom to post wtf we want.

Maybe when you go to bed at night the crickets chirping lull you to sleep instead of rockets exploding in the distance or fear of terror coming your way.
Maybe I am just more in tune with my patriotism since I am prior service & a veteran but I would think that most people would be much more willing to love their place of birth if not ever scrutinizing every flaw or negative facet of said easy living style.
Logging into playing a game a few or several+ hours a day = quite a disconnect from someone who has to travel miles for clean water, has no medical resources or is under a terror regime. No one wants to go to war but terrorism forces this upon us. The U.S. is where my ancestors fought & died to protect so I'd have to be an idiot to hand that away or just be indifferent to the problems; read as enemies foreign or domestic.

Don't' forget that the greatness of the USA you so love, came in part to that relentless scrutinizing criticism of it's patriotic citizens. The more we just don't care about what you may see as wonderful and let the rich truly entitled privileged people keep tearing apart our country.
The more poor masses they are going to order you to shoot under the name of domestic enemies of the STATE.
It is our duty to have a say and if we see something dumb say why. Don't just say people are stupid for calling our country unfree or whatever.
Because our country really is flawed and crippled right now. Turning a blind eye to it is going to accomplish the goals of those terrorists and heathens you so fear yourself.
