Which of these is 'Merica's biggest issue?
Want to know what the Flood thinks. Primarily would like to hear from American users, but anyone is welcome to give their input. Please explain your answer.
I believe our biggest problem in America would be gender-related issues. I should probably phrase it differently, though. Gender issues are real, but the people putting such an emphasis on everything being sexist is a problem in itself. We can't do anything without being labeled as sexist it seems. Thus a gender-related problem.
EDIT: Since it seems that people have missed the "other" option, I would ask that, instead of complaining about how all listed options are "social problems", you please post a problem as an "other" problem. Thank you.

2 RepliesI dunno if it's the biggest issue, but it would be nice if we actually took a minute out of the year to talk about slavery in the world today (AKA human trafficking). It's a multi-billion dollar industry in America alone. These are American parents selling their own children to the highest bidder, and it happens a lot more than we think. It's horrible.

I think our biggest issue is politics. Meaning, there's too many libtards that are uneducated and don't know how a country should be run.

2 Replies[quote]Want to know what the Flood thinks.[/quote] Why thank you for wanting to know about my opinion. I am an American as well so my opinion will mean that much more to you. Here is my opinion: The biggest problem I think the United States has is greed. Literally every single problem can be traced down to someone being greedy and wanting more money. War? It stimulates the economy. Overweight? The fatty foods are super cheap at every fast food joint, it's convenient and a leading cause in American obesity. Oh wait, you've heard of stores that sale healthy foods? To bad they overprice their merchandise because they know they can cash in on fat people who don't want to be fat. Don't even get me started on employers who pay there employees minimum wage while they make millions a day. Were you an idiot and stole something then got caught? Was it less than 20 bucks? Lol you'll have a fun day when you get that letter in the mail that says the retailer you stole from is now suing you for 500-600 bucks. (This one is a bit more reasonable as it's how retailers make up for the amount of theft that happens in the store each day) Hey what about inflation going up but wages staying the same? That's just a bit of the greed that happens everyday. So in my opinion greed is Americas biggest problem however, there are plenty of problems that are very close behind.

All of the above

14 RepliesOther: We have a national government that has forgotten the powers given to it in the Constitution and continues to pass laws that are technically unconstitutional. We have a judicial branch who are so I. The pocket of the leading political parties that they no make judgements based on their interpretation of the constitution but on what the party they are affiliated with have on their agendas We have a 2 party system that encompasses two parties who are more interested in foiling the other parties ideas instead of working together to make this country better. We have a population who are too ignorant of the political system and how it works. We have a population who are too apathetic to actually fix any of these problems. Choose one of those, I think they're more of a problem then the ones you listed.

Hypersensitive, reactionary thinking, and by extension, a lack of setting goals. Here's an example: Some black dude is shot by a cop. People immediately start calling racism and throw a fit without really even saying what they want. The best thing they can accomplish is raising awareness. Awareness doesn't do shit if no one takes action. Nothing gets fixed and people are now angry. This problem could be solved of people took the time to figure out what they wanted and how to get it. The goal is to stop police from getting away with being racially biased. We can stop that by requiring cops to have a camera running at all times. Nothing bad comes from the truth of unedited video. Now to make cops wear cameras, we need to elect someone who can push for that kind of legislation to be made. Just vote, goddammit.

Political correctness. Which basically covers the first three polls. White guilt and feminism being the two I can think of as prime examples.
