"just because I'm an American but don't live in America" what does that even mean when you speak you should clarify are you south American? Canadian? I was talking about Europe. And if you don't live in the USA then you do NOT fully have the opportunity to know what's going on if you do not live with it and if you noticed my words I said romney will HELP fix the economy not cure it for good. Don't be an ignorant person and do some research not listen to what a biased news station tells you.
No. I live in China. But I'm American. Is that now so hard to wrap your head around? Likewise, I USED to be a Chinese and living in America, does that give me the same 'understanding and opportunity to know what's going on?'
Secondly, news stations in China do not follow the elections so your assumption is quite invalid.
Thirdly, what are we without our rights? If you think Economy is the priority here, then I have seriously lost faith in humanity. Let me ask you, would you rather live in a wealthy country with no human rights? With laws against a womens right to choose what happens to her body? WIth laws against what women can and cannot achieve, where the glass ceiling of a society of patriarchy is prominent? Maybe YOU are willing to give up emotional wealth for material gain, but let me tell you, there are people who aren't ready to do that.
So don't tell me 'Rights' aren't a priority.
