There are worse places to live.
And there are better.
People who are shitting on the entire country based on a bunch of dumb fucks need to get their heads out of their asses and look at how things are everywhere else. Here's a protip : things are fucked in a lot of other places and they have just as much idiots. France is fucking crammed with absolute retards that blindly follow a political party that's openly racist, dipshits who are trying to criminalize abortion and a whole lot of xenophobic assholes, with a fair share of neo-nazis on the side.
And our equivalent of fox news is also the most watched news source in the country, with reports being as retarded as whatever you can find on fox.
Like seriously I get that the US has a huge portion of absolute dumb fucks but a lot of countries do, pretty much every country in Europe has a fairly big portion of vocal dumb fucks that everyone is ashamed of.
The mindless regurgitation of buzz words when asked questions is frightening.
But the fat people in wheelchairs was the worst part. When I went to pick up some medicine at the pharmacy there was literally 5 people in electric wheelchairs over 400+ pounds in line, 2 of them were missing legs due to diabetes. And when I used to work in grocery, whenever the store opened all 20+ electric wheelchairs would be gone within 30 minutes. I would have to tell people with broken legs or whatever that we don't have any left because fat people used them all.
Its really depressing to be associated with the fucking idiots and war hungry barbarians of this country. That's all that can really be said.
It's funny and all, but people should keep in mind it's only trying to be funny and exaggerate in a lot of parts. For instance, the United States has more Nobel Laureates than any other country by a pretty significant margin, so it's stupid to generalize based on a few fight videos. This goes for all people from all countries though.

We also have a larger population than those other countries.
As much as I like the US for a lot of reasons, I think we've really fucked up with our education and science initiatives, like when we canceled the particle collider we were going to put in Texas.
Also, this guy
[url]https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamar_S._Smith[/url]
is the House Committee on Science, Space and Technology chairman. Which makes me pull my hair out, I mean look at the bills he backs.

Okay, but look at the impact American scientists have made on the world. Look at NASA. Look at our top universities and national labs. I'm not saying we're the best country (if a best country even objectively exists), and honestly nationalism is stupid anyway, but people love bashing America a little too much.

I'm not saying we don't have good scientists, I'm just saying we're starting to fail in our resolve, our last good actual patent creator (IBM) is only doing so well. I think if we got Lamar out of the Science Committee, and started on more science and education instead of military or forcing healthcare on people, we'd get further.

The problem is you're holding the US to a higher level of standard than you do other countries.
The second the US makes a mistake you dismiss as 'oh well, stuff happens, we have some idiots here and there'.
The second Russia makes a mistake you dismiss the entire country as being shit.
Russia was just a random example, but what you said also applies to Russia in this case. Russian scientists and artists have contributed heaps to humanity and to the world. Probably as much if not even more than the US (since it was around even before the US was conceptualized), but the second Russia went into the opposite direction regarding homosexuality recently, FP collectively decided to label it 'shit'.
Same thing applies to Israel and China, for example. A country falling a little short in a given sector? Label the entire concept of the country shit. The US falling a little short behind at X? There's no need to generalize guys, this is just one isolated case of idiocy. And what makes matters worse is the US has always had this condescending aurora of superiority over other nations, behaving as if freedom, democracy and liberty were ideas invented by Americans. You prance around like you are literally the most important country on earth and you always have to be the center of attention, no matter how negative or positive that attention may be.
Because of this, some people lash out against your nation pointing out how flawed it is, yet now some users like yourself adopted this victim complex and started looking at criticism as hatred or even jealousy and thus dismiss critique as exaggerations.
In essence;
[quote]people love bashing America a little too much.[/quote]
There is a very good reason as to why.
except guess what dummy he doesn't call other countries shit either
[QUOTE=Melnek;43530376]I dont know about the internet but on FP, especially in SH the second someone insults the US directly he gets showered with dumbs and then dozens of posters call him an idiot for generalizing.

Also downplaying major issues in the US as "unsubstantiated america bashing".[/QUOTE]
I like to call America idiotic but I don't do it in a retarded way
going "lol america" or "lol ANY COUNTRY" because of 1 bad cop/person will get you box showered

Anyone who instantly dismisses another country as shit is just one of those idiots America has here or there. Or Israel. Or any other country on the planet. As it turns out, humanity in general has idiots here or there.
[QUOTE=Tasm;43529827]Every country has their fair share of idiots. The video is just cherry picking though.[/QUOTE]

i think the point is though, the video in the OP isn't just interviewing stupid rednecks or chavs or whatever, it's taking the piss out of the american mentality as a whole
there are a lot of stupid british people yeh. there's a lot of stupid people in the world in general. there's no other country on the planet though like the US. a country that is so ironically the reverse of everything it claims to be and everything that its nationalist inhabitants think it is
[editline]15th January 2014[/editline]
eg: "land of the free" even though the war against personal freedom has gone so far that the country has the biggest incarcerated population in the history of modern civilisation lmao

I think a lot of our problems have to do with the south. If we just cut them off we'd be in much better shape then we are now.

America is honestly the only country I know of in the world that has mobility scooters or whatever in supermarkets.

yes and no. a lot of religious issues and some conservativism obviously stems from the south, but stuff like the ridiculous war on drugs and the surveillance issues aren't related to that
will any of the scandinavians adopt me
i want to live in norway pls ty
[QUOTE=Medevila;43557722]"America's" problems tend to be greater in number but no greater in degree
it's all relative, the U.S. is just another western nation, albeit conservative and with a large population
I just wish we could all just view ourselves as citizens of Earth frankly[/QUOTE]
but the issues with incarceration, for example, aren't relative at all. it's literally the worst system on the planet

Yeah it's pretty fucked up that's why I'm trying to find a wife here in the UK so i can get citizenship haha.
It's a good time to start using those FEMA camps. The NSA eugenics program is soon gonna payoff >:3

The bush that is America doesn't have any cherries because cherries grow on trees.
