I have a love hate relationship with America. It does seem to be the case that basically America is like fast food: quick, easy, dumbed down, cheap, mass market and unhealthy. Something like half the American population thinks the sun goes around the earth, half think that evolution is "only a theory".
Americans will pay for a military to kill other people's people but they won't pay for a healthcare system to help their fellow Americans.
Then there's the America that has all the scientists and smart cultured people that comes out with radical and interesting ideas.

Canadian here. The USA as the intended republic is the first of its kind in the free world, and the best. You have lost your country to banksters and the military industrial complex.
Paul Craig Roberts: "Two years ago when he came into office President Obama admitted that no one knew what the military mission was in Afghanistan, including the president himself, but that he would find a mission and define it. On his recent trip to Afghanistan, Obama came up with the mission: to make the families of the troops safe in America, his version of Bush’s “we have to kill them over there before they kill us over here.”
No one snorted with derision or even mildly giggled. Neither the New York Times nor Fox News (sic) dared to wonder if perhaps, maybe, murdering and displacing large numbers of Muslims in Iraq, Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Yemen and US support for Israel’s similar treatment of Lebanese and Palestinians might be creating a hostile environment that could breed terrorists. If there still is such a thing as the Newspaper Publishers Association, its members are incapable of such an unpatriotic thought.
Today no one believes that our country’s success depends on an informed public and a free press. America’s success depends on its financial and military hegemony over the world. Any information inconsistent with the indispensable people’s god-given right to dominate the world must be suppressed and the messenger discredited and destroyed.
Now that the press has voluntarily shed its First Amendment rights, the government is working to redefine free speech as a privilege limited to the media, not a right of citizens. Thus, the insistence that WikiLeaks is not a media organization and Fox News (sic) turning in a citizen for exercising free speech. Washington’s assault on Assange and WikiLeaks is an assault on what remains of the US Constitution. When we cheer for WikiLeaks’ demise, we are cheering for our own."
Americans are good people, get rid of the parasites.

Everywhere has it's share of arseholes.
People are generally welcoming. Nations are not.
The power is with the government and the offices of state not the people. Whatever they are told to believe.
The geographical country is beautiful.

Sadly they are the laughing stock on the world stage, what was once a great nation for the people is now a sick and twisted joke.
George Carlin said it best
"The owners of this country know the truth: It's called the American dream because you have to be asleep to believe it."

The US may have reached it's zenith this decade and are presently entering a state of decline that will not end in anarchy but quiet contentment. I acknowledge the same observation was made in the mid 70's after the end of the Vietnamese war and the columnist making the statement has looked like an idiot ever since the late 1980's when it became clear- and shorty thereafter, even clearer, that US influence and interests were still rocketing up.pression and a response to that pressure-because frankly, I can't think of other rational explanations for the invasions. Certainly not the ones provided by the US President.
The US dollar was weak in the 70's and they were coming out of a long unpopular war. The same situation presently exists.
Militarily, the US cannot be touched and no country will come close for the next 15 years. The US has more than half the worlds aircraft carriers-10 to be exact and it takes years to build an aircraft carrier.
Can military supremacy translate into economic supremacy? If it doesn't, there will be great political unrest within the US until it does.
The invasion of Afghanistan and Iraq might be an ex

I would say that they think we are the most rude, stuck up, shallow, superficial mutherfuckers that some americans truly are. You see it every single day on the sidewalks, in the supermarkets, convenience stores, restaurants and especially inside the money grubbing banks. Walking around with their noses stuck straight up in the air. Just daring someone to look at them or share a single gesture of goodwill such as a "hello" or even a ******* smile. These are the very people that will split hell wide open upon their departure from earth and hopefully i won't be there to welcome them in but if i am, you can place a wager that i will just as rude, mean and ruthless to them there as they are to people here on earth.
