I am American, and proud of the U.S.A. However, something has gone terribly wrong. Almost everyone or every entity I deal with is just inhumanely stupid.

For years I treated this lightheartedly as a joke, but it's no laughing matter anymore. No one is competent. I feel like I'm dealing with retarded children most of the time. My lawyer is a dunce, my accountant can't even find an email, my fancy credit card company can't even send money correctly, etc.

I now live in Europe, and I am getting tired of the jokes about Americans. The worst part is, I have to agree with them. What the heck has gone wrong with Americans?

I have a theory: whatever it is that is making Americans fat is also affecting their mental capacity. I have a lot of foreign friends who visited the U.S., and even when they were actively playing sports and eating properly, they gained weight. Something is not quite right.

Yahoo answers can be quite fun but it seems you cant have an opinion on certain things .

I put it down to Yanks being so anally retentive.

Remeber folks nothing wrong with calling a spade a spade.

I've read many questions and answers by people who seem to think that doctors and the FDA are part of some conspiracy to deprive you of health and money, some even go so far as to accuse them of purposefully suppressing alternative medicine. why do people think so?

I do. At least sell one of those homeless voice papers but to just beg shows a high lack of motivation. I hate when I pull up to the light with a sandwich in my hand and there they are, the unwilling begging.

It was refreshing to read Professor Garry Hunt's claim that overpopulation is very bad for the planet.Strange that the 'greens' are so quiet about this and that some governments are actively trying to get people to increase the population.The UK is one of these by throwing money at people every time they produce new offspring.No wonder unmarried mothers are increasing in number, it makes economic sense for them to do so.It is other tax payers that are paying for this.

I'm an American and want opinions from a different point of view. I do not like our president. Most of my friends and the people I talk to have the same opinion of him. I wonder if the people all over world think that all Americans are like him.

What are they trying to become like Nazi's? Ban this and ban that. Freedom of speech is an American and a human right and a certain persons jugdment of anothers words can often be misunderstood. Nobody can stop a person from saying what they want within a form of art. The news and government always try to blame art on the bad behaviour of young people. In reality it is actions that young people see and experience from others, especially elders, including them that are a much worse influence in my opinion. Look at our government. We face a minor threat in the world, so we go to war. What kind of example is that? Much worse than any hip hop lyric. Shut up CNN you fascists! What do you think?

Everyday I see that really log commercial for the Christian's Children fund with its hardsell of the poor child living in squalor. And I feel sick of it. If the parents of these poor urchins knew conditions were so bad why do they keep having more and more kids. I have a decent job, but if I have too many children I won't be able to support them either, so I don't. Is it right of them to put us all on a guilt trip for what I believe is reporductive irresponsibilty?

ok well last night i had a continuation if the dream i had the previous night. I dreamed that i was locked in this weird house with my cousins(there were 13 of them). I am the oldest one so i was taking care of them. There were no adults. But there were dolls that were tring to kill us! We never knew where they were so we were always on the lookout. The only place we felt some what safe was in this tiny room with a set of bunkbeds and one twin bed. Everywhere we went we were sckared that something would kill us. Please if you know anything about dreams tell me!!!

This is a serious questions. Please give me serious answers. I have heard people say bad things about Canadians, and make fun of them in different ways. Why is that? I truly don't know why., and I hear it a lot. Do american people feel they are superior to Canadians.

I am not trying to be mean, and this is a real question.
