Default Is the U.S. really equal?

this topic has been on my mind a lot recently. what are your views on this topic? do you really think that everyone in the U.S. is equal, do you think that everyone is treated equally by the government?

so lets see where it goes from here.

i'll post my views later.

Absolutely not.

But there isn't much we can do about it.

And yes, folks, it's the same in every well-populated country.

Here's the thing; little local cases can't really be censored. If that judge/jury doesn't like a certain kind of people, such as the blacks, jews, low-income, etc, there isn't anything we can do, really.

There are 50 states, each with many judges - you can't regulate them all.

Agreed. The US might be slightly more or less equal when it comes down to it, but every country is the same. Everyone has equal rights here, and they can sue for it, but that's really the only difference here.

America isn't what it used to be, but is still a global leader.

Norway isn't much like that, everyone is treated right.
Almost.

But Norway only has 4 millions people, NY city has like 5x more
It's easier to have control of a country if it's smaller.

My friend moved from Somalia because of the war, and when she came here, she had nothing, and her mother was to poor to work, but Norway pays for everything she needs, her house, her food, and her Bill's.
If she want more she has to work for it, but everyone here gets enough money to live. Me myself also gets enough money to pay my house, my bills, food, and games, candy, and clothes. Lol, but that's because my house is incredibly cheap.

Lol it's kinda good, but it's a little unfair, because the normal people that has a job has to pay and work for money themself. lol.

The hospitals here are free. So if you have cancer, you don't need money to get rid of it

But still I think we treat some people wrong here, it is easy for the rich to get more money but incredibly hard for poor to get money. Also the people on the street doesn't get much help, sure they get a place to stay with food if they want, but most of them choose not to, instead they beg for money and buy drugs for it.... =/

Every big country has these problems, but the smaller a country is the easier it is to have control over it.

lol emarian, thats a bit optimistic, no land is godly.

and if you want to talk population, england has a extremly large population in total considering its relitivly small size. so you can hardly say we are a small country.

and yet our equal rights are much better than america, in america there is still a lot of rascism. over here yes there is a little bit, but there will always be a little bit.... but its barely noticable compared to in america.

I never said any land was godly.

There is NO racism in America...America isn't perfect, just like every other country, but there is NO racism over here. We've settled that. Leon, Gamma, and myself have all said that we've never seen a racism case in our lives, and we are actual American citizens.

Not to mention that our rights are protected by our Bill of Rights, which is actually part of our constitution, unlike your English one.

Southcliffe, don't act like other countries don't host violence.

Yes, we do have a right to bear arms. We should have a right to bear arms. Albeit, we should be making it harder for people to get them, but nevertheless, you are not allowed to purchase one if you have a criminal record, and you must pass a few tests.

2ndly, this isn't even about firearms. Congratz for getting off-topic.

Now, my friend, you're being quite prideful and overzealous. I admit to there being racism here. Now you best anty up and admit it as well; that is human nature - to treat others that are different than you in a bad way, for the most part.

Not to mention I have personally witnessed people from countries in Europe, including England, being quite racist to Americans. But of course when we throw it back at them, they were "just joking".

Naturally, there is racism, but not racism in the government. Biased, yes, but no, there are no laws of segregation, racism, slavery, etc.
