What has America become.




I found this in a blog a while back. I don't remember the page. I lost the link when I cleared my browser history. The page was about how America has declined.

What do you think of this? Do you think that it is right? Is the American majority getting that bad and ignorant as it states?

I disagree with everything listed

1) German consume lots of beer as well as other nations
2) Soccer is called football in other countries
3) what? so immigrants from other countries don't know about their own country?
4) what you think no other country is running reality shows?
5)how many other countries use cars? oh yeah ALL OF THEM!
6) not everyone voted for him
7)if you believe this statement .....
8) ummmm what's that suppose to mean most races are either in a circle or a straight line... ever see the Olympics?
9)What? so then we destroyed the WTC and bombed Pearl Harbor?
10) when it was first conceived no one had an idea.... the constitution wasn't drafted til 1776, we colonized much earlier than that

I drink liquor
I watch hockey
I know more than the average liberal about our country - like I can name all the states!
I hate reality tv
I drive a new Acura
I voted for Bush twice, not because I like him but because Gore is a borderline eco-terrorist and Kerry a clueless liberal from MA.
The media is always lying - to get ratings and smear conservatives - except foxnews who cuts us too much slack
#8 is just dumb
It is our fault we're the wealthiest country on the planet therefore other people hate us. Nothing we can do - may as well kill a few
10. The idea that a liberal understands the original concept of America is like the idea that a career criminal was such because of poverty and oppression and can be rehabilitated through love & counseling - OH WAIT they believe that too. ha ha.

I think it is a generalization and like all generalizations it only fits a small amount of society and then I'm sure not all ten would apply at any one time.

The reason we are seen as ignorant is because the only popular image that is seen of us beyond our borders is political. If all you ever saw of America was how politicians acted would you have a jaded view of America?

We all need to remember the past because the past repeats itself, to know that Ben Franklyn is not only on the hundred doller bill but he was the one who started the library system and the bifocals eye glasses,the post office just to name a few and I remember . we forget a lot of our history that's why I watch the history channel and read history books.we all need to remember.

Honestly, you are lucky you live in a country you can say anything you want to, like downing our country with its so called "decline", and you will not be sent to jail for treason.

Yep, America is definitely going down the drain when people think it's cool to act trashy. Nowadays, if you call someone "trash" they say "thank you!" LOL

Those are all just generalizations or stereotypes about the American people. MOST of these aren't true.
