To twist the hell these people have gone thru in the Balkans, by comparing them to poor Americans living in a self imposed hell... step the fuck off
Until you have put YOUR life on the line in defense of a real cause, do not bring up any of these external conflicts.
Refer to my other posts about the root causes of all the problems you are seeing. Until the communities police their own actions and their own failures no one else should be blamed.
To compare the struggle of the Serbians or the Albanians to the poor of New Orleans is OBSCENE!

First, have you been to New Orleans? No. So isn't it hypocritical for you to say not to comment on an area you've never been in but can freely express your opinion on New Orleans?
Second, I never compared the struggles of people in any country to ours. I stated that what I see on TV and read in news reports of New Orleans reminds me of the same things I see on TV and read in news for countries like that. I also never mentioned any of the other countries you are using.
Lastly, my comment was to compare anarchy and chaos that has never been seen in the US. We hear of these stories from other countries all the time, but have never experienced it on our own. When I hear of people laying dead on the street for days, people not being able to get food or aid for a week, I don't think of the US.
As for your comments about giving states more control. I agree. We currently have a conservative government that appeals to primarily rural areas. There is a reason why major cities consistently vote democrat year after year. I would love states competing over citizens.
The problem is that no one wants to get involved in politics. We can't make major changes like this when half the people couldn't name the fucking governor of their state. I wish I knew a way to fix this, but until then, we'll have a government in place that will consistently piss off half the country.
