The US is a "Sh(th0le" compared to Singapore


Really? Grass is greener on the other side of the planet, eh!!!

While I like and admire Singapore - it is not the place where many Americans will enjoy their "Freedoms".

You won't be able to purchase a home

You won't be able to bear any arms (had to put that in there)

Owning a car will cost you both arm and a leg combo

Spitting chewing gum at wrong places might land a cane on your butt

Ask Michael Fay the brat who learnt the hard way what happens to vandalize and steal stop signs (precious butt was caned several times over - the sentence was reduced because of big hoopla)

There are just too many implicit taxes in the system.

Every conceivable discussion will seem highly socialistic to RW crowd of this country.

As I said, I personally like Singapore, however any right leaning person who holds Singapore as a model is sadly mistaken.
