If you are an American living in France (me) you get a whole lot of bull-shit on why America sucks so much. I mean I got this shit we're people ask me my nationality and I say "I'm American" and they go psychotic and get all pissed off because they think that they're are Canadians and Mexicans and South American who also calim themselves "Americans". Now, I respect this but when people ask my nationality I say American because you wouldn't say "Ya, I'm USAan". Second point, I don't understand why people judge Americans so much because of our government. If you have a problem whith George Bush send him an e-mail don't complain to me that it's my fault he was elected...HELL I CAN'T EVEN VOTE. 51% of Americans voted for George Bush and 49% for John Kerry. In my opinion they were both shitty choices but hell we need a leader between those two. People voted for Bush because Kerry would have pulled out Iraq in an instant without cleaning up our mess. With Bush, on the other hand, Bush would finish what he set out to do and hopefully, finish the damn job (obviously he hasn't) but that settles that. Now, for the "Fat People" issue...It is a un-wholesome fact that over 60% of Americans are fat. This includes old, beer-belly men who are about 60 and who's father's saved all of Europeans asses in WW2. Also, in track meets and olympic-type events who (on average) has the most gold medals? Americans. Most American youths (children) have up to 12 hours a week in sport. I would know, I played triple ABC baseball in Ohio and we had games or practices 6 days a week! And that also goes without saying Americans are very smart people and more than 2/3 go to University. The USAis also on of the most welcoming countries on the Earth: you got peoiple from: Germany (a lot in Ohio), Italy (a lot in NYC), Mexico (in New Mexico and Cali), Japan (in Cali) hell...it's uncountable. No offence to the Brits but those mofos who got captured in Iran for intruding waters (apparently) were such pussys. Even I could have held out for longer than them to just admit to those bastards that they had tresspassed. If they were gonna kill the sailors and soldiers they would have done it immiadiately and if Iran hadn't have given the peple back within ONE month...the whole western world be ready to attack Iran on the first sign of hostality. I don't mean to be full of myself but sometimes...I guess you have to.

1. gettin people off your property 2. sweepin dirt off the road 3. payback cuz the dude cussed a block you don't even own 4. opening cans 5. more payback 6. ....opening more cans
i mean at least the british use their fists

Nah soon UK will be exactly the same as USA the whole country is already decending into knife crime and fist battles will become more and more rare Guns are also coming in close behind them, and not just in London, The other day a Girl was a victim of a drive-by. And also even more recent than that in a place about 20 mins away from me a guy walked into a house and shot a Little girl in the head. The knife stabbings in London, 4 youths dead in 6 weeks The most recent was KizzleWas offered a fight just for walking on a gangs territory, he then accepted the fight (Sick guy) then they ambushed him, beat him with poles and stabbed him in the heart they didnt wanna teach him a lesson they actually wanted to kill him! He was a deep emcee as well... Serious sketch you wont be able to say that by 2012 I guarantee you.

i never hate a country i just dont like some politics of america, its just that i think the most powerful country must share his power a bit more. like the war with iraque, it was a very big descision of america, but many were against it but still its an opinion and i dont hate usa for it

Aight yall.. B-E-Z on my nation.. U.S. has it's issues.. But so does every other country.. And you gotta look at it as a time-line..
30 year olds.. Don't make the same mistakes 15 year olds do (usually).. And the U.S. is a VERY young nation compared to many.. We're like the younger kid of the world that strives for power and respect (yes, in the wrong ways most times).. Our country is (as sad as it is to be true) still developing.. That's hard to believe, but it seems as if the U.S. government is tryen to catch up with the rest of the world as far as nobility & wisdom go..

most americans are spoiled, arrogant, ignorant people who believe that they are the best country on Earth without ever being to another country.
if you listen to some Immortal Technique or watch SiCKO or some other Micheal Moore movie it very well may open your eyes if you think America is a perfect nation...
that said I still think America is a good country...but there are a ton of things I hate about it.

WHOA!! ROFLMAOOOO
I don't know too many people that were spoiled.. And I live in the state with the second best economy in the U.S.
Believe me.. Most of the people in the "nice" areas of the twin cities still didn't grow up spoiled.. They just act cocky..
Maybe the U.S. just acts a little too cocky for the rest of the world.. It makes sense.. IDK..

If you have a problem whith George Bush send him an e-mail don't complain to me that it's my fault he was elected...HELL I CAN'T EVEN VOTE. 51% of Americans voted for George Bush and 49% for John Kerry. In my opinion they were both shitty choices but hell we need a leader between those two. According to the American people Bush should have never gotten in office the first time around. Al Gore actually won Popular vote (meaning he won more states and thus got most votes.) On the other hand i have a big problem with something that the US has in place. Thats the Electoral College. If you think because you voted in a presidential election its gonna make a difference, it really doesn't. Vote all you want but its always up to the Electoral College to vote who gets into office. Thus bringing me back to 2000. As Al Gore won the publics vote, he lost the electoral and thats why Bush is president. As for the '04 election, you have to choose between the lesser of the 2 evils and they both sucked and i agree with you on that one. Styles P. also had a bit to say about that in the 'Why?' Remix. The electoral college was once good, because early in US history it was hard to get news around from town to town about Presidential candidates. But now with the media, its gets spread easily almost to every corner of the US. But now members can easily be bribed by the candidates which are almost always people with a lot of money and power. That electoral college shit gotta go, people can make their own decisions. thats just a bit of info most americans dont really know about the government. People dont hate the US, Its usually just politics, you really cant say you hate a country especially if you have never stepped foot in it or know all of its citizens. US politics aint always the best, and they dont always go by majority like the iraq war. Because of that is why you got other countries Presidents like Hugo Chavez trying to 'Bring down' the US. Also US influence has a lot to do with it, but every country gets hate, its just usually the World Superpower that gets the most hate just like England did when it was the world superpower. And for the obesity thing, i think its how you are raised. other than that its just people with too many choices and they constantly make the wrong ones.

And for the obesity thing, i think its how you are raised. other than that its just people with too many choices and they constantly make the wrong ones. I dont think the electoral college is a problem...what I think is a problem is that in the Bush election the state of Florida didnt really vote for Bush. Its no secret that Bush cheated to win the election. And as for being a world superpower...I dont think thats the reason. The reason why we, and formerly England, get so much hate is because we're basically trying to take over the world through evil tactics. Look at all of the things we've done that are just plain wrong, like Hawaii, or Guantanamo Bay, or some of the things we've done in Iraq. And as for Americans being spoiled...take a look at how much emphasis we put on fashion and other stuff thats not important and then take a look at Brazil where they play with a beat up soccer ball and wear rags. And the funny thing is those soccer playing Brazilians are 10 times as happy as the spoiled Americans. So the Americans who have so much are the ones complaining...Ive got no problem with taking action and trying to make things better but I do have a problem with unproductive complaining snobs, which is what the maority of America is.

another reason i hate the states, is it's $2 =£1.. but what we pay in £££ you pay in $$$ jus playin, but it does kinda suck. also, world superpowers will always suck, power corrupts.. absolute power corrupts absolutely and all. but for real, look throughout history, man has never, and will never be capable of ruling himselfit's a fact of life
