Do you think the USA is a sick country?

Question

The americans (in the movies and in TV) unknow what theyr goverment did in other countries. For example, they believe the terrorism is because a religion. They don't know USA is guilt for the Palestin problem and the terrorism.

Everytime a children shoot somebody in some school...

They put the president in a airplane for fight with the aliens in movies (Independence Day, 1994)...

They think USA it was successful in World War II because de "D Day", forgotten the URSS already parctically had won the war.

Well, sorry for my poor English again. Maybe "sick" is a wrong world... but yours understand (more less...) my qusetion. Thanks!

Answer 1

yes, i think my country is becoming sicker and sicker every day. We are following a leader that believes that killing is the only way out of any given situation. he's keeping secrets from this country, and all the while people still think he's the best thing to happen since guns. we are losing the battle against hate.

Answer 2

That's the most non-sensical question I've ever read on here.

But I'll try and respond to it anyway. The US has problems, it has its good and it has its bad, and like the rest of the western world it has a democratic process and a free press, which means that its an evolving entity. There are a myriad of mixed opinions on almost every imaginable issue within it's electorate. Basically this question is way too complex to deal with in a useful way on a forum like this.

Here's what you should remember. The US, like every other country in the world, is comprised of people. And people in the US, like everywhere else in the world, do not spend their days thinking about foreign policy and market strategy and idealogies or any of that. They spend their day going to work, putting food on the table, looking after their family, worrying about asking a girl out, whatever. The same human concerns everyone everywhere else shares. Its a mistake to associate people so strongly with the nation they're born in. A nation is an idea, its a powerful idea but its an abstract idea, a nation is not the same as its people. We'd all do much better, and I think there'd be much less hostility and xenophobia in the world, if we took people's ideas as they come instead of making a bunch of pre-suppositions based on nationality.

He does have a point btw on the WW2 thing: 1/2 a million Americans, 1/2 a million Brits and 20 million Russians died.

Answer 3

US of America as a society or culture what ever you say, is in it's beginning phase of built-up. There is an Urdu sher, "Kaarava aate gaye, Hindosta banta gaya. Same thing fits to US. The people have come from all over the world and they have established this nation, and till the date, process is continue. When it will be fully emerged with all aspects, after some hundred years from now, it will be centre of human culture and society on this earth. It is a melting pot of all cultures as was India some 2 thousand years back.

Answer 4

Martin Luther King was correct in saying that America should stop seeing itself as the superior country on earth. I do not believe anything that comes out of George W. Bush's mouth,nor for the rhetoric and propaganda of the US. He is a warmonger just like his father before him. How many more US marines, etc. will have to die before the end of America's interference in the Middle East? He seems to be able to twist fiction into fact and the idiots in the US believe him!
God save us from so called democracy if this is the example to the world.

Answer 5

The US of A is a lost country. They have no farsight. They are just looking at the present and are behaving like a school bully, both selfish and childish. The children of the US don't have proper parental guidance, hence a lost generation has grown up and is trying to cope with adulthood and the outside world...

Answer 6

as far as WWII goes, US believed that if we were to fight Japan in their own land the battles would take more tolls for the allies troops then ever before and they were tired of fighting. So US decided to end it quick.

Also, Japan, at the time, praised a town that killed themselves then taken in by the allied forces. if this trend continued there would have been too many allied and Japanese deaths.

And yes Americans are ignorant in few of the world matters, and some Americans are really not trying to see it from the other side at all. But there are some who are trying to understand as well. So you can't really put us all in one group, especially since so many of us are from different background and we think differently.

PS please use the media to understand the US views, movies tends to do US no justice. (Fox, CNN, and so forth)

Answer 7

I do think that there is a high level of disregard for humanity as a whole by our up and coming generations. There is no discipline in our homes. The goverment took that away, you cannot spank your child for fear of having the social service come and whisk them away and put you in jail with a permanent criminal record, then there goes your good paying job. The word of God ordained spanking, just read the book of Proverbs. I have never seen a child that has never been spanked turn out to be well rounded.
They took discipline out of our schools also, so now the kids get no discipline from anyplace. Discipline means to teach, so our youth is not learning anything in that arena. Look at our country the younger generation has no respect for themselves, their elders, their peers nothing. We are a lost cause as a country as long as we continue in the same fashion. I am not even old. I am one generation above those that I am speaking of, but my father was old enough to be my grandfather so I was reared with a high level of discipline and respect which he learned in his era.
Our goverment tries to control everyone and everybody. Here we have the president go into a country because of suspicion of weapons of mass destruction. Well here we have a guy in North Korea basically at the same time, standing up and yelling, "Hey! I have weapons of mass destruction!" Our leader basically say to him' "Go sit down, I wasn't talking to you." We then go and bomb the people in Irac. Then the reason is changed to one of liberation. We then will always be at war if that is the cause for there are numerous countries that are in far worse shape than Iraq was. Why is it fair to liberate Iraq and not these other countries? We must bomb them all! Get real! It is not just our country that is "SICK" it is the entire Godforsaken planet!!!! Read your Bible, it is all in there. We have been living in prophetic times for quiet sometime now. People get ready 'cause Jesus is coming!!

Answer 8

Unfortunately I think the world is getting sick, I think people are losing their faith and hurt others because they think they have rights to. I think people think they are better than others and that is why people do the things they do. The more time that passes the more I see people that seem to enjoy hurting others. I would rather feel love and compassion for the world, though, so I wish peace and love for the world, including us in the USA. :)

Answer 9

This would be just a quick answer. Yes, but don't you think most of the world is already sick? All of the murder, rape and atrocities that happen in our backyard are clear evidences that the world is sick. So why won't America be?

Answer 10

More Americans have died to liberate untold countries then any other.Whether liberating the concentration camps of the Nazis, to winning the Cold War, to Iraq, the American soldier has given more to help many.
