To be honest, no I am not proud of my country. Sure, we are free about a lot of things, but some laws I think should be passed, aren't. One example is abortion, why is it still legal? If you really think about it, it could be considered murder depending on how far along the pregnancy is. In my opinion, there should at least be a certain amount of months you are along for it to be considered not okay, as in "After the first 4 months, you are not allowed to get an abortion any longer." Of course, I understand if you are young, not ready to be a mother, or are worried about diseases being carried on to your baby, but after a certain amount of time, I consider it wrong.
Another reason our country doesn't make me proud, gay marriage is illegal. For one, you can't help who you fall in love with, and two, what would happen if it gets legalized? People that love each other will get married, and that's pretty much it. Personally, I have a lot of gay people in my family, and one of them have been together for 19 years, and they can't get married. They have always wanted to, but they can't, because America won't let them. I strongly disagree that it is a free country, if it was a free country we still wouldn’t have this kind of law.
Not to mention everyone takes everything for granted, no one appreciates anything, including myself. We have a lot to be thankful for, and one day a year is the only time a lot of us actually act like it. You don't see kids in Africa playing around in the apple store, or playing games on an I-Phone. No, you see them being thankful for a slice of bread, something a lot of people eat each day. I don’t like America; I believe it is full of unthankful, rich, mean and judgmental people, sure there are people like that everywhere, but in America it just seems so much worse. I am not proud of the country I live in at all, it could use some major improvements.
