That kind of takes you out of the 'simple' category...
Then you really haven't seem enough or your country my friend...how do you think the russian mob paid for all their hits?
In all seriousness, this is a problem that "people" have, no country is free from it, even places where it is punished by limbs being chopped off or worse.
As for people dressing like clowns and the weird sex orientation...I could never personally think of doing it, but its a freedom as well and I have had some serious conversations with woman who wanted a sex change. I agree that its totally fucked up, but after sitting down and drinking with a few and hearing the long drunk and honest explanations why they felt the need to do this, the reasons they had, usually different in a way but similar in others...actually make sense when you look at it from a completely objective and rational standpoint without judgment, as much as I hate to even admit that.
I am literally that open minded of a person, rather than just get weirded out by something I could never understand I decided to sit down and actually pick their brain as to why they thought they should do something I could never possibly do myself...and let me tell you, some of the fucking answers I got to that question were utterly mind blowing.
Again, its not my thing...I'd never encourage it, but some leaders in my country wanted to take away our war veterans benefits for being gay or bi...we're talking the first world wars and shit where people came back missing body parts and stuff--that was even more disgraceful in my opinion than the idea of gay rights.
You say people in your country are free, but in reality they're still hiding in a closet if they are gay or transsexual because that kind of thing is a part of people as a whole, not something this country created by its way of life, they just had the choice to hide it or make it public at the time and they chose to stand proud.
There are two sides to every story, I've obviously never even seen your country myself and I can't really say much about it in general....but if you think these things don't exist there then I'm sorry my friend, but you are truly blind.
I have no issue with you loving your country to the extreme as you well know...but the mere concept that people don't have drug addictions and there are no odd sexual preferences there is a complete and utter fairy tale and I feel bad for you if you can believe such nonsense.
