What one person on 4chan thinks about America....
[url=http://i.imgur.com/8u5sI.png]And sadly, I agree with him quite a bit[/url]
Yes, it is still pretty rude, but IMO quite accurate. America has little to no culture (No national dress, national food, just a flag and anthem. What little culture they had was crushed with the Native Americans), is pretty hypocritical considering their pillars are freedom and justice.
That said, there are many good things about the US. All technology pretty much originated there and it's quite scenic.
Thoughts?

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] TDR Mudcat09 Here are a few points i found wrong with his post. 1. The Cold war wasn't an actual war, as the term is known to us, though it is called one there was no fighting or battles. And the USSR defeated themselves through their own finances. 2.We are definitely not the richest nation, we have a massive amount of debt that we likely will not be able to pay any time soon. He even states the debt thing in his outline. This guy is an idiot, he contradicts himself, and i will not listen to him. Though i will say on [b]almost nothing[/b] he makes a valid point.[/quote]

it took the us fourty years to defeat the ussr because it was a war of words. how much longer does it take to argue and come out on top instead of just shooting someone? many of this guy's points are blown out of proportion and\or incorrect.

I like the common American people, but not any military or political people. America sucks.

he acts as if change is not possible...

Agree with most. But I don't think America will ever "go down."
-
I don't know enough about the subject to form an accurate opinion, but I know that is not just America which has morons in it. Every country has idiots in it, and every one of them has the ability to create a bad impression of their country.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Bungie2 [quote][b]Posted by:[/b] Terrible Noob And all of that could be ours with one strike of the US Military. But we wouldn't do that to our lovely neighbors. Calm down guys, this is the internet.[/quote] *cough* 1812. Don't judge your military strength based on a single assumption. ~B2[/quote] Yes the War of 1812 where they burned down the white house. You do realize that was almost two-hundred years ago, right? The US has the best Military in the world. Large in size, and very well trained. Lets be real for a second. It's obvious that Canada would lose against the US. So very obvious. If you deny that, then you are clearly ignorant.

[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] n00bt4stic One thing America as a nation lacks is direction. We have all these checks and rules that prevent 'tyranny'. But a side effect of that is whenever one opinion is headed somewhere, they get kicked out and the opposite opinion takes prevalence. It's all too polarized. A lot of other countries have made their mark/changed significantly due to a leader who made those changes happen before he got out. He had the time and the power. The bad news is, this doesn't happen with the US's system. But the good news is also that this does not happen. It's a mixed bag. If it wasn't about political parties, maybe this wouldn't be such an issue. Originally one was supposed to vote for a person, a standalone campaign who stands for what they believe and want. For the good of the country, not for the good of a political party. One among numerous available standalone candidates who only represent themselves. Now its all muddled up in parties, and parties picking the 'best' candidate, and giving away positions to your party's buddies, and blah blah blah. We were warned against political parties for a reason. Might I also mention that any kind of democracy's success depends solely on the education of the public. Bit of a problem there.[/quote] Agree 110%. It's a confusing issue.
