First of all, I will start by saying I believe most of the countries that are "Third World" have more real freedom than America. I somewhat don't believe in the concept of Third World because it's somewhat outdated and there's too many variations in it. I'm not going into big long explanations on why the Third World usually has more freedom than America in some areas.

To stay on topic, when someone points out negative stuff about America how people are poor, or how there's a lack of opportunity, or how there is mass poverty in America, or that America has a terrible model for a healthcare system, some people will say "Well at least it's better than North Korea" or "At least its better than Somalia" or "At least its better than Venezuela."

It's quite funny and in a way also sad to see a First World world nation comparing itself and justifying its poor behavior by pointing to incomparable Third World nations rather than its First World peers.

When a country cannot create a real defense about to why something happens, they point to whatever they can to justify their own issues and make it seem like they're good.

Really? If a First World country needs to compare itself to lesser developed, lesser industrialized nations rather than its comparable peers, then it isn't a First World country. America is more like a Third World nation except it has a First World economy. That won't last forever.

Most countries aspire to become better and look to their Peers as comparisons. America, and many Americans, however, now have a habit of justifying terrible socioeconomic policies, terrible conditions, and any negative policies inside America by pointing to Third World places saying "It's better than this or that Third World nation."

I don’t think it is. I look at the way my mum treats me, (weird comparison). But she always has lovely things to say about me and how I’m the perfect son to her. Always believed in me and seen the good in me. Always had faith in me and unconditional love.

Lately, I’ve been thinking. Is it possible to find a girl who could love me the same kind of way? I don’t think so.

Someone I know in airoft compared the TM Hi capa (an airsoft pistol) to Glocks in that people constantly preach that the Hi capa is the best airsoft gun ever, but then he'd say "nothing on there is even from TM" (he's pointing out that they've upgraded everything and there isn't one stock part left on their gun) and made a comparison about how people often do the same thing with Glocks, upgrading everything and stating that Glock makes perfect handguns. Under that context, I'd say yes, they're definitely overrated, but on the same note, I actknowledge that Glocks, just like Hi capas, are popular for good reason but are given a bit too much credit by many people. Do you believe Glocks are overrated?

This is in comparison to when a guy checks out a girl's ass

Of course if something makes us at our very core, we will set out to make it our top priority.

What is your views on spiritual unity? Are you mainly concerned with spiritual unity with God or more so your spiritual connectivity with others? Is it vital to you in your daily life or can you just leave it alone every so often? Another unity people seem to value other than spiritual unions are sexual unions and for many good reasons. Name other unities and how they are in your life. Also, give a comparison and contrasting examples of how it relates or differs in our unities. Please share your spiritual priorities with me, if applicable! Tell me why it should be deemed seriously and not taken for a joke and how it makes you feel when others take their spirituality lightly!
