now this is from an outsider looking in but it seems like its a country in shambles.

1.) the gun crime culture So? How is this a problem?

2.)the constant flow of advertising at every turn This is a capitalist economy. What the hell did you expect, pseudo-capitalism/socialist laws on the free market?

3.)the government and fox spewing BS all day every day. This is true of every country. And the goverment doesn't spew BS as a whole, the Administration does.

4.)the weight problems....fast food is everywhere and it shows with the amount of overweight people in America This is a legitamate problem, but a minor one at that.

5.)the education system...too many things wrong to list It's a real problem, but really, I would love for you to list them. I really want to see what you know :|

6.)the intolerance for other race or religion(Muslims mainly) Exactly what the hell are you talking about? There is religious intolerance everywhere, and last I heard, it's worse in parts of Europe than it is in the US. *cough*riots*cough*religiously offensive comic*cough*

7.)Bush He's a fool, I will give you that.

8.)the amount of money spent every year on the military. This is a superpower. The most powerful and politically active superpower. What do you expect?

9.)Iraq (Iran in the future?) This goes more with "Bush"

10.)how heavily it depends on imports And yet...our economy trumps everyone elses. :|

and that is to name but a few....please dont take offence to any of this it just my view of America So thats only a few among many? Really? Name them all, please. I would like to see them.

[QUOTE="Hiro-Nakamura"]the intolerance for other race or religion(Muslims mainly)-MlKE-
Well it's tough to like a religion where terrorists who do things because of their religion crashed planes in our buildings.
the education systemHiro-Nakamura
Yeah, I know. A free education all the way through high school is terrible.

Those are 19 extremists, I hate all white people because they drug black people behind trucks........oh wait, I'm white...you see how I did that.

Many developed countries provide free education, America is one of the worst when it comes to the developed world. We can do better.

Most people complain about America's lack of acceptance for sexual themes and such, but you claim it to be a problem??

And I'm guessing that by 'Stifling altruism' you mean American's lack altruism? Depending on where you go in the US, people are quite welcoming and caring for one another. This might be a result of the christian influence I guess.

What does christianity have to do with altruism? Christianity and organized religion as a whole, it can be argued, has caused more death, famine, and disease then it has saved lives, provided food, and cured illness.

Christianity, in this century at least has led to huge acts of altruism across the globe :|

Altruism is part of christianity.

Considering that the Vatican is the largest corporation on the planet and it doesn't pay taxes. What huge acts of altruism has christianity been involved in?

Missionaries, orphanages run by nuns, fund raising. The attitude encouraged by Christianity is to help and care for others, that is exactly what altruism is.

[QUOTE="buxboy"]I am really getting sick of people complaining about America. Yes, we have problems, yes the politics here are not the best, but where else do you have what he have here? The finest military in the world, the best economy in the world, and an extremely high standard of living.jointed

Well, you have it in Europe and the rest of the western world....

Then do something.

No really. Take charge of world affairs.

Kritical_Strike

But many of those are self serving which is the opposite of altruism. For example missionaries. Yes they go to deprived nations to help but the underlying purpose is to further the influence of their religion.

I won't argue orphanages, but they aren't perfect places.

And fund raising, they fund raise for their own causes, not society, let me know when a church fund raises to help with stem cell research, the human genome projects etc. Also you can say well they fundraise to help families, but in order to get help you have to be from that congregation, for example a church wouldn't give me money to help out if I had cancer, but it would help one of its members, once again this is self serving and not true altruism.

Well it's tough to like a religion where terrorists who do things because of their religion crashed planes in our buildings.

Nobody likes Islam. The problem comes from two sources, the American religous double standard. And the knee jerk reaction towards percieved racism towards Arabs for criticism of Islam.

The American religious double standard is an issue because they are indeed right to criticize Islam for things like its rampant sexism and teaching of Arabic racial supremacy over other races, they seem to have no problem at all with their OWN issues of religon. Americans are perfectly willing to criticize Islam for being unfair towards women, but what about Christians being unfair towards gays?God help you if you bring that up. Careful, if you really piss off the fundies, they might start complaining that you're oppressing them. Because these days criticism = oppression. :roll:

The next issue is straw-manning racism out of criticism of Islam. Let's get something straight, the pro-Islamists can scream "a few extremists" until they start coughingup their own vocal cords. Islam is a VIOLENT religion. It calls for violence, it breeds violence, it breeds social intolerance, and what's really stupid is that people defend it. This is more often a result of percieved racism against Arabs for criticizing Islam and frankly it's stupid. I suppose since the Allies wanted to rid Europe of Nazism they were racist against Germans right? :roll:

Missionaries visit people to help them and introduce them to Christianity. It's altruism because these are christians who take the time to help other's to find the truth (to them at least). They worry about other people going to heaven or hell, not just themselves. This is altruism because Christians recieve no benefit from God/heaven for helping other people, hence selflessness and hence altruism.

Any good church would take care of anyone who asks for assistance (the one's I've been to at least).

I'm agnostic btw

I think America is a pretty nice place with some good people. I just can't stand some of the overly patriotic, our country owns so much and if you dare insult it burn in hell kind of people. The real flag waving, Uncle Sam ass kissing, sing the anthem every second and recite the Pledge of Allegiance backwards on our hands whilst jacking off into an American flag types.QW-34

Those aren't patriots, just babbling fools with citizenships...

You never offered any real facts. Just stereotypes based on little or no information.

Why thank you. I am a good debator. ;)

But it seems you havn't grasped your mistake.

Gun Culture is not the problem.

But there is a Gun problem. And it has nothing to do with murders that are done with guns! It has everything to do with illegal gun use/ownership! :o

See what a difference in wording makes? It's amazing, isn't it?

Yeah, #6 is really ironic, given you've apparently made an account to come onto a site to generalize what's the worst about a country that you've obviously just picked up from the news or w/e other sites you join to complain about. Less "emo" crap, thanks.

It is different because it's flawed, not because it's based on real facts or experience.

Things taht are wrong with you:

1. You're alive

Hiro-Nakamura

ah well thanks for that problem there not much id like to do to fix thatepsescialy if some childish loser couldn't think of an argument so thought what an angry 4 year old might say says to....i hope you dont treat people like you do on the internet kiddo

Mrs. Sesshomaru is one of the nicest and affiable posters on OT, while you're a completely new kid who makes his first post about a "list of things" wrong with America, most of which aren't true, and pass it off as fact while not replying to anyone who rebukes your arguments with an ounce of intelligence.

well if one of the nicest people in gamespot implied that sheme wants to be dead because of me prestenting facts well then this isnt the nicest place in the world....and which isnt true you havent disproven any of them youve just made up some half baked excuses for them.

I didnt say I wanted to be dead I said whats wrong with you- 1. Your alive...not me..

fixed....your sick death wish has been edited to make sure everyone knows how much you hate im alive because i have diffrents views to you....wow i nowcan see how your the nicest person here

Go to RC and ask them if I am nice...noob:x

I second that.

He's only in 8th grade, most countries focus on their own history rather than other countries, it makes sense. One more thing, Jayesler, how thoroughly have you 'learned' about these other countries and their history?

Do you honestly think you know "a lot" about the histories of 6 countries/regions by 8th grade? Self delusion is so amusing.

What are you talking about? I thought US history was world history.

Seriously though, I don't know what kind of school your cousin goes to (probably one of the really bad rural or inner city ones) but at the ones I went to we learned quite a bit about world history, geography, and foreign languages (though granted I don't know anyone who became remotely fluent through school, except for college of course).
