American Hater, Stop Hating, Where Not So Bad

And don't get me and supremebeingindeed wrong, we are not boastful about America, we are THANKFUL about America (warts and all, which we are hopefully working on), there's a big difference.

The reality of the situation we arent perfect in many ways, but there is Evil everywhere, not just in America. Im also not denying the fact that Americans are losing the Essence that made us a great country, this is not something Im proud of. Im not saying the our president is "Sharpest" tool in the shead. As far as Satry is concerned, Im going to end my negative comments posted towards him because this will only fuel his views and worsen my position. I can only hope that he curves his fingers and rethinks his "reality" of Americans, were not all so bad Gent.

 

I agree.
We are not all so bad.
I'm an American, and I don't have such a low opinion of myself.
But when I look at America today, what it is (as opposed to what it was or could have been) makes me ashamed of being part of it.

Yes, there were and are some great individuals in America.
Looking at the nation of Americans as a whole, however, Satyr's vision I quoted above is a pretty accurate depiction of America according to most people I know from overseas, and we have EARNED that reputation well.
His image seems fairly accurate to me as far as generalizations go.

Rather than trying to point out the "nice" things about America, why not look at his post and explain why any of it is not true?
I don't think you can.

Maybe if we can get to the point of seeing ourselves honestly, and accepting our great and many flaws as a nation, as opposed to rabidly "defending" America (often by bashing others nations like a 9 year old) we can start changing what is wrong.

If we can't see, accept, admit and own our problems, they will simply worsen -as they have been.

Prozac doesn't solve your problems, it just helps you make believe they aren't there.

 

I think we should talk about Poland first, and India.

 

Isn't Poland your ally?

 

mmmmmm yeah.

 

Yes, but Saty is a nasty Atheistic Communist, who seems to think that his superior culture has evolved to its current lofty status, so maybe he should explain all that to us.

 

sexy.

 

So, ummmm, I have one question, why do many Americans think that their country is the envy of the world? I've seen countless such claims on the internet, and again right now here.

It seems so strange to me, because most of the people I know would hate to live in the USA.

 

Because the USA is the land of milk and honey.

 

Indoctrinated Nationalism (what they call patriotism).

 

No, No, you heard it wrong, it's the land of "filth and money".

 

you are thinking about saudi arabia.

 

No.
I wasn't.

 

We're always saying how good we are, fuck that. A little honest criticism is beneficial.
