I hate terrorists and I know what you mean. But the point is that the US are expanding their culture and that's the thing that annoyes lots of people. The McDonaldisation of the society, culture - you know what I mean (I don't know the proper English term). ALso there are stereotipes of Americans being egoistic and mind-closed people, who thinks the only good culture is their own and never learn foreign languages.
That's not exactly my opinion, you know, but I'm posting what some people think about Americans. You're from the US so you know them better than me so give some feedback about these opinions.
Peace |

I fully agree with you in this.

Only accused?? They have bases in Cuba, Colombia, Peru soon, UK, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece?, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Japan, SKorea, Taiwan, Filipinas?, and the list goes on... they ARE an empire.. lets admit that.. The bad thing is that they sometimes try to interfere with everybody (acting on its own interest)causing wars and bad sht..
The good part is that besides all the fckd up part of the society (like children with guns at school killing each other:(), the world has many good things thanks to america. But that should be used as an excuse for all the mess they cause. |

I agree with zzleeper that the US has given us a lot of good things but some things they do annoy me.
The Kyoto treaty is a good case. Every country in the entire world agrees on reductions (this must have been almost impossible) in emmisions of harmfull substances... except the US who are too worried about their economy in the short term to risk tipping the balance and sending in to a slight recession.
Another thing is a tendancy to buy US without question. The music industry is a good case here. In England and I suspect much of Europe, US music is dominant, yet the US as a whole seems reluctant to accept our music.
One last thing. HOW COULD YOU MAKE US ENDURE GEORGE 'DUBYA' BUSH FOR FOUR YEARS???? :) |
