Alright so alot of threads are going on about why people bash americans, so i thought iwould give my views on the United States of America and whyi have such a big problem with it.

The Main problem is your goverment, OMFG, ok no goverment is perfect but the one what you have at the moment is PATHETIC. First off Healthcare, why do you have to pay for it??. You should work as a countryand help each (so what if you have to pay higher taxes) you are the only country in the western world who have to personally pays for ones healthcare and like the movie Sicko showed us, even if you pay you still don't get it. Now another problem is your current president, what a r-tard, and why the hell did you allow him to invade Iraq, killing over 3000 of your soldiers and 75,000 (min) of innocent iraqis. The Guy didn't even win the 2000 election yet you allow him to be president, then you re-elect him in 2004. Look at his reaction to Katrina HAHA, let 2000 of you die (mainly black people), i shouldn't be the angry one here you should be... Some of you are this stupid: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE, Next your FAT, well your the fatest nation in the world, not that there is anything wrong with been fat it's just the fact that you allow such a thing to happen, so many of you eat fast food every day or every week, In my country no one eats fast food that many times. Your will to dominate the world, honestly there are countless times you have funded coups in latin america (Watch the Movie War On democracy by John Pilger), which have sworn in nasty dictators. You treat Hugo Chavez as An enemy the guy is a friendly socialist. GUNS GUNS GUNS, honestly do you really need to have guns. nobody should have guns Not even the police. Religion, Join Christianity And Get A FREE Gun (In neon green lights), religion in your america scares me, i have seen countless pictures where private churches advertise themselves and where you have to pay to join and pay to have your sins taken away. Scary. Your Oil Greedy, you consume the most oil throughout the world and you don't care, you have barely any plans for renewable sources. And you pollute the atmosphere more than any other country. You only care about your interests, **** the rest of the world, blow them up why not. Last, Your president can't pronouce "nuclear". So What can you do, well you could do the world a favour and Impeach Bush then kill ronald macdonald, then build a million wind turbines. then pull out of iraq, then finally elect a democrat in 2008.

Anyone agree.

Wow, you're spot on. How anybody on here is disagreeing with you is beyond me. I just phoned up Oprah, and she agreed to have you on her show. All I did was read that post to her, and she was willing to have an hour segment about you. There really needs to be more posters like you, thanks.

It isn't all that bad here but if you've traveled as much as I have at my young age you realize how good things could be in this country and how stupid our people are most of the time. Its just dumb as hell when "getting serious" about losing weight in the US means eating a salad from a fast food joint that has as many calories as the burgers and taking "quick fix" diet pills.

If theres one thing I wish we could realize as a people is that TV and the internet aren't always right and our nutritionists and doctors hold more credibility than TrimSpa.

America is a democratic joke tbh. Not just this administration but ever since Kennedy (To my knowledge). They are just as corrupt as anyone else and I don't think they truly evoke the citizens beliefs.

Being rich is a greater priority to the American government than prosperity and dignity tbh. If any other country was in that position, then we'd be embroiled in a World War with them. Just because it is America, we automatically assume that they are the good guys.

I suppose the rest of the world is even stupider for letting them get away with it tbh.

I'm not American but I disagree with a few of your points

1) healthcare - welfarism is a social policy that encourages inaction in people. Why work for something when the government will pay for it for you? I regularly see people on benefits with £1000 3 piece suites and massive plasma tvs, who have never worked in their lives while the state picks up the tab

2) The Presidency is not a dictatorship. The use of military force in Iraq was passed through Congress so at the time it had broad political support.

3) Chavez recently decided to make himself president for life, not the actions of a nice guy

4) Religion - I'm against all religions as a general rule but it seems the left love to denigrate american evangelical christianity while at the same time tolerating or finding excuses for some of the more oppressive practices of Islam

5) Pollution - China is now the worlds biggest polluter, not America. This is especially important in light of the flak America took for not signing up to the Kyoto protocols as China and India were exempt from them

You should work as a countryand help each (so what if you have to pay higher taxes) you are the only country in the western world who have to personally pays for ones healthcare and like the movie Sicko showed us, even if you pay you still don't get it.roryrc

There's a reason every single medical breakthrough happens in the US, it's cause they pay millions more into the medical system than any other country in the world. Those countries w/ nationalized healthcare are basically reaping the benefits from the US system since they don't need tthe capital to fund new medical research
Now another problem is your current president, what a r-tard, and why the hell did you allow him to invade Iraq, killing over 3000 of your soldiers and 75,000 (min) of innocent iraqis. The Guy didn't even win the 2000 election yet you allow him to be president, then you re-elect him in 2004.roryrc
you think only 75k Iraqis have died, hell that's even lower than the US militaries estimate, anyway most US citizens will admit Iraq is a giant mistake, and not likely to vote for those responsible next time around.
Look at his reaction to Katrina HAHA, let 2000 of you die (mainly black people), i shouldn't be the angry one here you should be... Some of you are this stupid: http://youtube.com/watch?v=fJuNgBkloFE, roryrc
yes bush is a bad leader, but you have to admit even with one of the worst possible leaders our government is still holding the US together. Unlike most countries which would dive into poverty w/ bad leadership.
Next your FAT, well your the fatest nation in the world, not that there is anything wrong with been fat it's just the fact that you allow such a thing to happen, so many of you eat fast food every day or every week, In my country no one eats fast food that many times.roryrc
You don't have freedom of choice in your country????? Americans will eat fast food if they want, and become fat if they want, and smoke cigarettes if they want. If the government stepped in you'd probably be insulting them for not allowing freedom of choice
Your will to dominate the world, honestly there are countless times you have funded coups in latin america (Watch the Movie War On democracy by John Pilger), which have sworn in nasty dictators. You treat Hugo Chavez as An enemy the guy is a friendly socialist. roryrc
I think we're still way behind on the european empires though on screwing things up in the world.
GUNS GUNS GUNS, honestly do you really need to have guns. nobody should have guns Not even the police.roryrc
when you live in a country as rural as the US you need the public to have a decent way to defend themselves. Guns are always going to be a part of rural american culture. The sad thing is you watch way to many movies and are assuming every single american owns a freaking gun, when it varries quite a bit by location.
Religion, Join Christianity And Get A FREE Gun (In neon green lights), religion in your america scares me, i have seen countless pictures where private churches advertise themselves and where you have to pay to join and pay to have your sins taken away. Scary.roryrc
I don't even know where to start w/ this your ignorance is overwhelimng
Your Oil Greedy, you consume the most oil throughout the world and you don't care, you have barely any plans for renewable sources. And you pollute the atmosphere more than any other country. You only care about your interests, F**K the rest of the world, blow them up why not. roryrc
Energy equals power the US has known this for centuries, and we're pretty good at making sure we control the energy
Last, Your president can't pronouce "nuclear". So What can you do, well you could do the world a favour and Impeach Bush then kill ronald macdonald, then build a million wind turbines. then pull out of iraq, then finally elect a democrat in 2008.roryrc
Last the president only holds a small role in the us government, you should really step outside of your bubble.

Anyone agree.

My only problem with the United States (as a citizen) is the constant air of rightousness the government claims, when they have done some very poor things in history as well as recent times.. I am by no means its a bad country, its a great country.. But it angers me seeing United States breaking international laws, when trying to enforce it on others. How are countries going to take us seriouslly diplomatically when we more or less could be considered a corrupt cop at times?

I also would like to point out that any critization done towards the United States is fought with verbal attacks. We call any one who disagrees with us a coward or worse a traitor. We name call or use propaganda constantly against people we simply do not like. Now I am not saying the US is bad its a aweomse country. But it sure annoys me when we claim to go into Iraq for instance as one of the reasons to save all the people. We don't even acknownledge the fact that we ever supported Saddam, and this adminstration for instance has tried to smear opponents to being sympathetic to Saddam.

[QUOTE="vitriolboy"]I'm not American but I disagree with a few of your points

1) healthcare - welfarism is a social policy that encourages inaction in people. Why work for something when the government will pay for it for you? I regularly see people on benefits with £1000 3 piece suites and massive plasma tvs, who have never worked in their lives while the state picks up the tab

Then how come every single first world country in the world EXCEPT the US has free healthcare?

cuz the actual healthcare under socialized healthcare sucks. In canada, people have actually died waiting for a doctor's appointment

This isn't a good argument.. People have actually died in the US because they were denied treatment they could not afford or had coverage for it. I think a better example is France when it comes to national healthcare.. Most consider it as the best system when it comes to the socialistic policy.

True but what abou thte 40 to 50 million Americans with no coverage at all? I would think the United States government has the responsibility to give medical treatment to people who can not afford it.

healthcare in this system is so expensive because medical school is so expensive. potential doctors have to get student loans to get into medical school. they need good jobs to pay for these loans.

again, as one poster said, there's a reason that every medical breakthrough happens here in the US.

That is totally false. No one is denied health care in the US.

Yet again both are not perfect systems, both have minuses and positives.. But I can't see how we can logically ignore the 40 to 50 million americans with out coverage, or the American's who do not have proper coverage to begin with.. Lets not forget how expensive it is at times, where jobs cover full benefits, but if that persons benefits are pulled or they are laid off they are left high and dry.. There is no security behind it.. I would think a mixture of the two policies would be far more beneficial for the United States as a whole.. But then again we will probably never know because of lobbyists have a strangle hold on this country.. Pharmaceutical companies have a strangle hold on it.

I certainly wouldn't recommend any of Michael Moore's movies for research. That's for sure. You can learn enough about health care issues through the news (online, tv, magazine).

I might take what you have to say more seriously (or at least read it in the first place) if you were able to form a more coherent, readable and well-structured argument...

... on second thought I probably wouldn't have read it either way.

This is incorrect. No one is denied healthcare. Not seeking it is entirely different.
