Most people complain of one thing or another in America, and we have our share of problems too. Lots and lots and lots of them, and they're not getting any better anytime soon.

If our country supposedly has the best of everything, material wise, is it still worth putting up with the fast pace, soulless cut-throat, workaholic lifestyle that we treasure so much?

Also, people normally act like A=holes. Our country is FAR from a "class act."

We're turning into hater-nation.

also Immigrant-nation. Not that that's a bad thing, but it's ridiculous when they refuse to assimimlate to American culture and values and instead hate our country, but choose to leech money off of it. IT's ridiculous.

I personally thing life here has its pros and cons, and the cons mainly being the PEOPLE.

Americans as a whole, SUCK.

Either they're way too egotistic and arrogant, or hateful or cynical, bitter.

Finding a NORMAL happy, well-together American is like finding a happy junkie.

I mean people here literally live on edge, and are the biggest hyper-active, coffee drinking messes that exist. They're predominantly negative, and everything is so serious and fast-paced.

Is there a reason for this? Also, is this generally known for being the most busy area in the country?

I just think it's ridiculous. I don't think life should be led, with the attitude of "We're all gonna die tomorrow, let's go out there and be rude a**holes."

That's how it mostly is.

I don't want to hear arguments PRO this, the bottom line is, living here is far from a class act, and it's sad. People should be proud of their neighborhoods and highways and treat each other well, but what you see is, hate, crime, road rage, and all the negatives.

Fine, if people want to be treated like rat poop, I guess move to this area. lol.

I live in the United States and I love my country but I know many Americans who say America is the best country is the world without having seen the world. Currently, I do think I live in one of the the greatest country but who am I to say this? I have not traveled to every country in the world. Who am I to say that my country is "better" than all of the other countries when I have not even experienced them? Sure I could say America is a land full of opportunities and we are the richest country, but does that make us better? Not necessarily. You could say third world countries have many problems but so does America. Each country has it's own features that make it beautiful and great. The entire world is sacred, not just America. I have come to a conclusion that I have to travel the world before saying America is the best but who is anyone to claim for a fact America is the best? It is all a matter of opinion. Can't we all be the best? Why do many people say their country it the best?

Are the needs of the few more important? Are the needs of the many more important? Or is it situational? I would like your thoughts, I'm writing a paper for a leadership class I'm in.

Small or big deeds? Someone holding a door or picking up litter? Making someone smile? I helped with a river clean-up in the summer, I felt really good afterwards.

The illuminati have set up a control stucture like this:
You get up, go to work everyday. Why?: tho pay the bills to eat to have a home for you and your dependants. Your boss controls you - if you dont do what he says you will be sacked and have NO MONEY.
Your boss must answer to his boss. His boss must answer to his boss and so on. At the very top is the illuminati pulling the strings: Do what you are told in OUR system or you get left out.
In the 1960s way before the internet became public - this type of website was tested on 1000s of people. The anaylis of the results shows that people are like sheep. They are afraid to say things different from the crowd cause they get laughed at.
All you who laugh and say "another nut" are just slaves of the trans-corporate-illuminati agenda. YOU ARE ROBOTS in a facist world.
Switch off the TV + READ 1984 before they start burning the books again.

When I answer questions in the Society and Culture section the bullfighting section appears at the top of the list. You cannot ask questions into that category though. Is bullfighting important enough to have it's own section on YA!

That's come up a lot around me lately. My wife and I (I'm female) kissed goodbye at the airport, and some woman demanded that we stop, saying, "How do I explain that to my kids?" (Kids were more interested in the vending machines!) Witches and atheists of my acquaintance have had people get mad at them and ask them that same question. Columns on ENDA feature that argument: "How do you explain their teacher's picture of another man on his desk or what looks like a man in a dress to children?"

I guess I'm just wondering what's so terrible about having to explain things to children. I mean, there are wars and natural disasters--those lead to hard questions, right? Not somebody who's just plain different? Frankly, my wife and I think if our affection leads to the hardest question a child's ever asked, that child and her family are leading a pretty decent life.

Someone please help me get it.

could a selfcentred person actually be misunderstood?I think that self centred people are not really self centred but they just know much more about themselves then others.Please give honest opinions and views even insulting if need be but no cursing please.
