I'm my first class of English level 4 Teacher spoke of some north-american study about happiness. The study was indeed a poll and presented its results on percentages. One of the results where that most young people is happy spending time with their families. The firs thing I thought was “well, obviously! If you live with your family you get free laundry, food, a bed…” (Out of being living alone the past two years) then I realized that the correct meaning was to spend time with families, something like those TV commercial dinner families, where everybody is white and smiley.
When we finished, Teacher was very eager to make some serious talk about that, here on the blog. Well then, I don’t know how the family can be the main source of happiness other if it’s your own (your wife/husband and kids). Not that I don’t like parents, but they are after all…parents. They prohibit you from lots of things, they put annoying curfews on you, and they make very serious talks about things you don’t want to hear. And in a country like USA I don’t know how that can be possible. My hypothesis is that every single polled person lied in order to look good.
The racial difference is another lie, white people being happy is just wrong. It’s historical injustice. USA have killed more people cowardly meddling on smaller country’s civil wars than any other nation (have any other nation the custom of doing so?). USA don't deserve hapinnes, they don't deserve Obama, they deserve Bushes all over the White House to make'em look stupid to the rest of the world. England screwed on Africa a lot of time also. Not to mention Germany. Well, the may be happier, but they shouldn’t.
I got three paragraphs already and I don’t want to make it any longer, so, here I end.
See you on the next post.

It's true. Indeed, parents most of the time put some control over our shoulders, and never it's a pleasant thing. But, man, is your family, don't you think it's necessary sometimes put a limit to ourselves? Probably I'd be dead if my parents didn't told me to control myself sometimes
Not if you actually can control yourself, wich i can :).
Hi felipe! Well what you have written is very interesting indeed. You didn't mention anything about Chilian history.
Some of the points that you make are very strong whnich is fine but have you heard these words before 'those who have not sinned can throw the first stone...'
Also when you talk of the USA do you mean the government or every single living person in it?
Also teacher doesn't command! Teacher (Maria) asks you to do things and after that it's up to you!
Thanks for getting me going! Good to read such strong views!
