lol you are funny..
We have built a country not ruin it. This is how we like our lifes which could always be better. But if a choice was of being here or some where else I would rather be here.
What does WW2 have to do with America? Germany started it and the USA ended it or you all would be speaking German to day. Or if you was not blonde with blue eyes you would be dead.
And what is wrong with being rich? That is the goal is it not to live a great happy life? Why do you think the only way to be happy is to be scraping for food out of a gutter?
What do you mean by the world is about to explode? I see some children in the Middle East getting slapped around but they started the fight, But no world shattering explosion?
I have heard all my life that the world was comming to end and that I better get to one of them fake places called church where they scam you for your money and beg to be forgived and it is based on how much money I can give if I am or not.
Get real. This world will be here when you die. It has been here this long it will be here a long time to come. We might end life on this planet but not from war.

Your observations aren't far off the mark. Americans with money are walling themselves off in gated communities all across this country. We must be the most frightened white people on the planet.
The past 50 years have been rough on this country. We emerged from the Second World War as the dominant power on the planet. We had used nuclear weapons on civilians and remain the only country ever to have done so. I'm in agreement with the decision as it saved many more lives, but the fact remains.
We spent the 60's, 70's and 80's waging a hot and cold war against communism only to spend the 90's building up the economy of the only serious communist power left in the world.
We practiced a brand of diplomacy that made a mockery of our stated values and even today reveals the hypocrisy that lies in the heart of America from the minute of our founding, when we proclaimed that all men are created equal even as we bought and sold our African slaves.
Don't misunderstand, America is a truly great nation and perhaps the greatest hope for the world, but sometimes you have to be willing to look yourself in the mirror and admit when you are headed down a path of self destruction.
The current administration is sacrificing a lot of American values in the name of security. My fear is that when the dust clears they will have sacrificed so much that there's nothing left to be saved.

You're being quite generalizing. Perhaps they cant answer your question about the horrible things done to ruin America because they, the ones you're asking, werent the ones doing it? Just because they're American, doesnt mean they can answer that- who's to say they werent against the wars America was in?
To generalize makes you look as arrogant as the ones you speak of.
Also, yes America isnt fantastic, and has tons of imperfections- but look at some other countries before you open your mouth. America's better than places such as Russia, China, Africa, etc... due to the fact we let people speak whatever they want about here. Do practically whatever they want around here. And buy practically whatever they want here.
It's a place of nothing but mix culture.
For everyone who speaks so sourly against America-that's fine, dont come here. No one's twisting your wrist to be here.
Though it's funny how as you say that- there's people from all over the world risking their lives to get here...

If all you see is the bad in the USA,,, then that is what you are looking for. If you were objective and looking anywhere other than a city you would find what makes America the greatest country on the planet. But since all you want to see is the terrible,,,, it matters not what anyone will say to you. Oh, by the way, I have done nothing to ruin this or any other country.

The first reason why we do not answer this question is because it is not a question. If you are going to use this web site, please ask questions using English.
The second thing I want let the world in on is that the quality of your life has improved since you came here to America. If it hasn't why are you still here? If we are so bad, why haven't you gone home?
You like life here and all the good with the bad. Otherwise, you would have gone home a long time ago.
Just have a Hershey bar and relax.

Why is it that all foreigners want to complain about Americans and yet would give their left testicle to move here? Is it because we allow people to do what they want, when they want, with whom they want, including having horrible taste and lack of appreciation? Wouldn't it just be better if all these people would stop using anything invented by Americans as a protest? That way we'd not have to read their drivel on Yahoo! Answers.

maybe they feel the question is from an uninformed foreigner and not worth the time to answer
taste is a matter of personal opinion
maybe in some places only the new is popular, but there are many areas the old (architecture, etc) is appreciated and preserved.
guess you haven't been asking the right Americans.
reading your additional comments on the horrible American schools, I couldn't help but notice your lapses in spelling and sentence structure.

May I suggest you walk around in another country? Seriously, characterize everyone? I live in rural Illinois and there are very few rich here, but we are people of tradition. Little churches on Sunday morning, baseball games, football games and practice, and dinner with friends.

I agree with you, but what's your question? I mean, That's a little broad. Do you really think these young people on here can even understand what you're talking about? They only know today, unlike some of us who can even remember when some people were still using out houses.

Most Americans have noappriciation for thier culture of heritage and simply throw it away to attempt to live the nuoveau rich life. Many do not care who they step on to get there and much less who helped to pave that road that they are on.
