A Question to all You Non-Americans.

881 views

Right, I have a question for all every non-American. Candian, Asian, British, all countrymen are welcome as long as you don't live in the states!

 

 

The Question is simple: What do you think of America.

 

 

To be honest, I hate America. I should know, I'm an American myself. We have the most idiotic healthcare system in the world, some of the most corrupt politicians I've ever seen, and the most ignorant and overly-patriotic populace to ever walk the Earth. I can't help but laugh whenever someone takes on the strong southern redneck accent and starts going "Yeah, 'Murica saved the Earth from Hitler during WWII! We saved Britain's ass in both world wars, even though they went to war with us twice, cause we're that awesome!", mostly because I can guarantee you some dumb-ass American has already said, or is going to say that sometime.

Anyone who honestly thinks the US is among the most corrupt governments in the world has obviously never EVER left the country.

 

And I'm not talking about crazy states like Venesuala, Iran, or North Korea. Compared to countries like Argentina and Russia, the United States is a downright bastion of honor and cooperation.

 

Clarification, I'm actually from America.

Pretty much this. I've never been out of the US before, and I know that we have it far better than most other countries out there. The American "police state" is still freer than actual police states.

True, but I just don't like it one bit. I mean...America is starting to become almost the opposite of what it was founded on. Granted the abolition of slavery, voting rights to women, etc. were good rights to be granted, but I'm not one for government surveillance and what not.

That's just too much of a broad question, what exactly are you wanting to know? Views of Government? Your history? Your people? Political/religious views? Influences on other countries? Products and companies?
Just need a bit more clarification before I answer, just in case I'd accidentally insult anyone.

I can't say too much about stuff that happened before I was born, well because I am not fully knowledgeable in the matters. But stuff I think now is that Americans are too tied up to guns and violence. Too bigoty (if that's a word for bigot) especially with LGBT. Education is absolutely awful, I don't know many 1st world countries with a worse system than USA's. The people can be good, like my uncle he's quite nice. But that's like any country, good and bad in it.
Religion in my opinion should be abolished from every political decision made. It's quite obvious it has a massive say in things like elections and passing of laws, even though it's not meant to be.

Military also is something USA has focused way too heavily on, especially with Terrorism, those trillions of dollars could've been put into much better things like medical science to help others, infrastructure or education systems for examples.

Obviously there is some good like the good amount of tourism your country seems to obtain, lifting the damaged financial state you're in, as well as the self sustaining companies in the country able to be massive power weights around the world.
But for me, there's too many negatives in the country compared to the positives, in my opinion.

The one thing that I can never forgive the US-government, is their permanent claiming to fight for freedom and democracy and at the same time they ignore international law, human rights and national sovereignty of others nations, everytime they "fight" for these values. That's more than just hypocrisy, that's... I don't even have a word for it.

I'm almost anti-US.

I have my reasons. Mostly because of 1999. *shiver*

If I ever see Clinton, I swear to God I will spit in his fucking face.

 

America TODAY is the nosey motherfucker that interferes with EVERY. SINGLE. COUNTRY it disagrees with in any way.

My cousin lives there and she can't wait to get out and settle where I live. I look at the US and I see a whole host of problems still unheard of over here. We do have problems of our own and I think we're heading in that same direction but it just seems like we're really far behind. Just not that far behind that we still have slavery. Seeing 'Murrika's true imperialist face makes me glad I'm on a small island without any resources. The only thing keeping our economy moving is tourism and half of our tourists are Americans. Latinos pretty much make the other half.
