Bold text mine.

It's called FREEDOM, duck. Say it with me: Freeeeeedommmmm.
Immigration (or invasion as you call it) or not, we tend to let people wave whatever freaking flag they want. Would you rather our government suppress that? I wouldn't; that isn't FREEDOM.

Allowing criminal illegal immigrants to wave their flag isn't freedom, it's stupid. STUUUUPIIID

Try punishing the criminals for a change.

You are the richest nation in the world and you want me to believe you can't afford to stop invaders?? hahaha Perhaps use the money that is wasted on them in social services to pay for it.

People who enter any nation without permission are invaders. And when you let invaders protest in your streets is stupid and lazy on the part of your government.

So I guess america is not a free democracy after all.

Holding hands with criminals does not work. Your crime rate proves that.

I have suggested realistic change but america seems to be to lazy to do anything about it's problems. You just talk and argue but do nothing with your troubles.

Oh no she di'int.

Back in the day, if someone thought a book was "wrong" it was banned, it was burned. We believe in freedom. We don't suppress a person's right to express ideas. You think it's stupid? No, you're stupid (in whiny voice I'm imagining you have). We have to still fight for this, against people like you who think they know what's best for everyone else. Clue: you don't know shit.

Listen, when you've made it halfway around the block, we'll talk about America. I've circled it a few times, and I don't remember seeing you.

What do you do about it? NOTHING. It's funny you get mad it me for pointing that out. hahaha

Eh, nevermind. Let's just nod our heads and say "yeah, mmhmm" next time she talks about something she "knows".
Sure sure. I doubt you even understand the words freedom and equality.

It seems america is dying because americans are too lazy to stop it from happening.

The fact you think invaders have a right to do anything in your nation is a problem right there.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is the funniest thing ever posted in the Cellar, EVER. A sixteen year-old from HK has taken the time to ponder and then suggest "realistic changes" that all Americans should embrace for the good of the nation and yet---and yet---NO ONE LISTENS TO HER!

Tch. I'm shocked, really, I am. It almost seems as though America is mocking this bright genius who has all the answers. Well, cluck_cluck, you can't say you didn't try. If I were you, I'd just go home now.

Bye, honey buns!

I'm off for a pedicure!

I find it amusing that someone from the outside looking in has seemed to solved all of our problems. And then, well, since we don't all fall prostrate at her feet in appreciation, proceeds to think we're all stupid.

If she really thinks that her solutions are the right ones, perhaps she should come back, become a citizen, run for office, and implement her own ideas.

Purely novel concept that...putting your money where your mouth is. 16 or not, I doubt it would ever happen.

And personally, before anyone sits back and says that 'we don't do anything about what's going wrong in this country', she should really get to know a little bit more about the people she's preaching to. Quite a few of us are politically active and are doing what we can.
