Your opinion about the USA

Simply because a person is better or worse than yourself does not excuse you from having to be concerned about that person.  This idea may sound overly simple and idealistic.  But when you give up your ideals--then what you got left?  On the whole I've found people have strengths and weaknesses.  The real quesiton is whether they've discovered thier strengths and how such talents are used.  This question, the purpose of someone's talent, is ethical problem I am trying to solve.

Sorry to be so personal about this, folks.

Mord.  

Many american people are really ignorant and they just dont care about other places

The folks there are much more sincere than their counterparts in Europe

Every nation has to act according to their interests but USA shall change the way she does it.

So as we are all human, we wouldnt have personal hate against american people but I cant say I really admire their so great so wise president and his super-duper neo-cons

Haha,*rubs hands together*,finally,a topic worthy of my presence,earlier when I was active I was known to make some good points and instantly end topics because I was so good at making people thinkNot that I'll be able to do it here,there are many intelligent points and people in this topic,all stating their own opinion about America,from all over.I feel that if we are going to be Humans,then we certainly are acting like humans.I'm an American,but I do care what others think about this country I was born in,because if you don't whats the use of this topic?Just a list of views and points from all over the world just rehashed into an abyss for all to see?Pure fodder.

America has been known to replace many democratic governments with Dictatorial ones,including Batista,a Dominican Dictator who ruled the country after the US coup overthrough the present democratically elected president in the Civil War of 1965(my father served,so I sould know)and many others.However,America has saved many other nations,even at great costs,coming from all sides of the war or disaster.Take the Tsunami,we gave Southeast Asia money,but what they needed was water,food,and care,not money!Any country should know this,people don't need money,they need food and water to survive,money can be destroyed by being ripped to pieces,I've done it many a time.

Another point I'd like to point is,I agree that the US is a International Dictatorship(sorry my fellow Americans),I mean it tells many countries what to do,it has overthrown many leaders that did not meet with its standards,and it is one of the only countries that can produce nuclears,I believe other countries have the right to defend themselves,only defend themselves,THe US should stay between those lines.

Another point,Terrorists.Terrorists aren't the problem to me.They aren't.They're specs compared to countrymen.Countrymen kill more of their own people than terrorists do.ANd I don't know why many of these so called "civilized" countries keep saying its Islamic Extremists?Why?WHY?!Those countries should stop with saying its always Muslims,thats making the religion seem bad,and where I live,there are many a time a Muslim is being picked on,I makes me feel bad.

Another point is,Americans are Americans.We are all unique and not braindead fools who watch sports and eat hot dogs while changing the channel with a remote.We're not.Those people who keep saying all Americans are ignorant are fools.They're the ignorant ones.Another thing,stop bringing movies and tv into this discussion,movies are purely entertainment mediums meant to entertain us,not change our philosophy of things.THose who do take into the media are weak-minded and cannot think for themselves.

Another point,All of you saying that America has caused many lives to be lost,are you forgetting Stalin?Hitler?Bush doesn't even come .01 percent to their terror,Stalin killed more than Hitler did anyway.I can think of two times America has done things to cause genocide and disruption in freedom,Killing off the Native Americans,keeping the Africans as slaves,and torturing them to their will,and of course,taking territory that is not ours...But the Spanish did it,the Portugese did it,the British did it,and many other western powers did it,and Asian Powers(The Mongols,the Japanese,the Ottoman,etc)but all those mentioned about America were only done by Caucasian Americans(don't take that as offense please),and we have changed,now we have many more people,of all different cultures.I'm hispanic,my family moved here from Dominican Republic and Puerto Rico,I know much about my past,I'm not ignorant.

People who hate this country,especially Europeans because they make up the vast majority of immigrants,are hating their own people for coming trying to live a new life.Evn if the new life isn't glamorous,its probably a step ahead from their past lives.Africans make up about 13% of the population,and Hispanics 14%,and Asians about 3-5%,so hate your own people if you want.Anglo-European make up about 68% and Latin European make up about 10 or more percent.This is acountry of people,whether you like it or not.

Believe me,I don't hate any country in this world,or its people,because all 6 billion of us Human Beings are all different in many ways,and I'm not saying by country,or ethnicity,or culturally,but mentally and in our way of thinking.Whether you like it or not,we're all humans,there are no race of humans,there is only one race like us,and its humans,cats are cats,dogs are dogs,Worms are worms,Eagles are eagles,sharks are sharks,humans are humans,and when an outside problem comes abroad on this good ol planet Earth,I must believe,and will believe,no matter what our differences,we must band together,and comabt this universal problem,whatever it may be.Those of you who hate us,I cannot understand why you hate all of us,and not one individual,we are all different inside,whether I'm hispanic,or someone is Arab(I have Arab in me) or some one is Chinese,or turkish or whatever,we're all humans,and thats what matters.

I live in a low income Neighborhood in the South,we manage.Most people have bikes and it rains alot,(three hurricanes and lots of thunderstorms).However,I was born in NY,but raised in the South,and its true we are more family oriented,lots of family love here,almost every house here has a large family and relatives visit everyday.

I have made my position clear earlier on in the thread and there is no need to further elaborate on this.
But I thought it might be interesting to know what the North-Koreans think about the USA and their current president.

Why can't I vote in this poll?

Why?

Nope. I tried but still the same.

I've voted in all other polls without problems. And the notice says clearly I can do everything but voting and creating new polls. Is this forum restricted to new users? Or is it a bug? Or a CIA sabotage? ... I wonder. 

I personally like Americans because they are so nice; like in this instance this cowboy with a real cowboy hat offered my family to take a family picture himself.  Like he introduced himself to us in a very nice way, and yeah, I was like "in my country, this would have never happened."  In other words, wow.  It happened in LA Airport, btw. 

But I don't really like American politics.  War on Terror implies waste of money, imperialism...you know what I mean. 

Many things wrong with your post Tobodai

One,just because your richer,doesn't mean your better

Better Educated?Hahaha,look at how many people are in the streets and homeless

Less Obese?America is filled with Obese people,look at Wisconsin(got that from Family Guy)

Religion?Because the New England portion is more materialistic and industrialized

I clal Soda...Soda over here,and pizza is better when its not flat and there is barely any marinara

I know you were kidding,or were you?Just wanted to point those out
