what's really wrong with the united states?

Question

in your opinion.

(bonus: how do you propose we fix it?)

Answer 1

the people that run it. we fix it by putting in power that have human interests in mind and not special interests.

Answer 2

Apathy. People are sheep and would rather allow themselves to be led by the media then think for themselves. If mankind is to rise above this state of affairs, then we'll have to start embracing free thought and let the rebels out there have a voice. If we can't even make educated decisions based on available facts(how many voters ACTUALLY do their research on potential candidates for anything but president BEFORE casting a vote? Not that many), how are we supposed to come up with new ideas to fix anything? The old ideas(throw some cash at it and it'll go away) don't seem to be working anymore...

Almost forgot - IT'S NOT SUPPOSED TO BE DEMS vs. REPUBLICANS! We're supposed to see all the potential candidates a pick the best one, not "choose a party and run with it". Sometimes it's better to vote OUTSIDE of your party, but most of us seem to have forgotten that. Kinda plays in with the whole not thinking for yourself thing, y'know?

Answer 3

Liberal are so backwards, they vote for the war and then attack the President over it. They put in prison bonds and unfairly try 8 soldiers bravely doing their job and then want constitutional rights given to lunatics in Guantanamo. They preach political correctness and then force businesses to hire unqualified candidates because of the color of their skin to create diversity. They complain the President isn't doing enough to protect the country and then print in their newspapers the secrets the US is using to stay on top of (and thwart I might add) terrorist plans. Need I go on?
The problem with the US is liberals undermining the progress of this nation at every step. To solve is simple on paper --- United we stand / Divided we fall --- If Democrats would stop being so divisive and start looking out for the best interests of the country rather than their own political power we could get things done instaed of haggling through red tape constantly.

Answer 4

All countries, or any crew of human beings, have mistakes. compared to maximum of the historic previous of the international, we've thankfully few. For one, we do not praise a Fuhrer. I do trust the Dalai Lama. yet therefore, the reference is to entice close a thanks to regulate self-skill (heart), fairly than in basic terms progression skill(concepts). even as ever the U. S. comes guns ablazing, the rationalization - or area of the rationalization - is to ultimately help human beings. In Iraq, we are progression faculties for ALL toddlers, and (attempting) to stabilize the country. certain, we destroyed most of the country and the excuses for conflict are literally not fullyyt possibility free, notwithstanding the Iraqi human beings have a destiny with no dictator.

Answer 5

The words that are used by the media and government to twist reality into a new extreme state... Words that before created a "Cold War" within the USA, words that continue to replace reality.

Words whose only use is to create tension between people.

Answer 6

We have lost sight that we are all Americans, they need to help one another, not steal from the poor to give to the rich!

I think it is about time that business pay some taxes, even though 48 in the Fortune 500 didn't pay any, and some got refunds on the taxes they didn't pay!

It is pretty hard to watch that liar in the white house getting our troops killed for Exxon while we pay $4.00 a gallon! Why do you think his numbers are so low? He never went after anyone for 9/11: he went after oil!

We need to get rid of the crooks in congress who are elected by us but are paid by, and represent, the corporations!

Answer 7

Bush, Republicans in general and those so called Conservative Christians that preach Christian values all the time but then they go out and commit every sin in the book!

The way to fix it is, vote them ALL, out of office!

You Conservatives can rate my answer with the thumbs down, all you want. It doesn't change the facts!

Answer 8

The Republicans are in power. That's what's wrong. Fire them all in November and bring in the Democrats to fix the problems.

Answer 9

Too many Liberals stressing symbolism and not enough Conservatives stressing substance.

Answer 10

the government. in every government thier citizens should come first. in our situation Israel is more important then the people in new Orleans. after a year nothing has change there.
