Ourselves.

Well, we are pretty damn down on ourselves. I just previewed the answers, and you all are some downers in here. Let’s see you all answer this question. How did I get so much time to sit here in front of my computer and ***** about everything? Well let’s see, you can walk out your door and not be shot at because of your race color creed or religion, (yes gang affiliations may be another story here). You can buy food and lots of it cheap. You can say, do, dress, act, and have sex with or any other list of things in the US because you have freedom t do so. You can fight in a war, or you can enroll in college and not have to fight, (bet you didn't know that) but yes it is still an all volunteer military.
You can have a stupid tattoo in a language you don't even speak, and shove hunks of metal into your face and this is protected by our constitution. You can be gay straight Bi or Tri sexual and the only people who give a crap are people you wouldn't want to have sex with any way. You can piss moan and snot bubble all day and collect and UN employment check. You can come here as a Chinese slave (yes this still happens) pay of your 40,000 us dollar indenturement and become a million dollar business owner in a single generation. You can be a litany of anything, but the majority of you would rather bash our great country.
So our biggest problem is you all have had it to easy, you are fat, unmotivated, downers, who do not enjoy your freedoms. So what is the problem with America? Not a damn thing that any other country has. Who's got more rights? Who's got a perfect society?

The biggest problem we face is not the countries around us but each other. Politicians of both sides have divided us instead of bringing us together. We have turned against our own in the name of pride. I know I may not believe what you do and I may stand for things you don't, but isn't that what we're allowed to do? I'm definitely not trying to get all Americana, but seriously, it is really sad to think the only thing that has united everyone of all parties was an attack on US soil. It was only then did everyone really come together, and it didn't even last that long. I know we are all fighting different battles, but it shouldn't be against each other. This is how our enemies want us to fall, from the inside out. We have to support each other because no one else in the world will.

The biggest problem we face as Americans is our own lack of respect and appreciation for each other.

I think that immigration, illegal that is, is one of the biggest problems we have ever faced. America cannot continue to accept and adopt lifestyles to make everyone happy. We need to take care of the Americans already within our borders and seriously limit all incoming. Big chore I know, but it is necessary.

YOu're gonig to get a lot of stupid, cynical answers, like government and ourselves.
But Americans are genually good, productive people. I know we have our problems and have had them historically, but I honestly see our moral values improving each year.
Our biggest problem is the threat overseas. (nuclear war) Do we have something to do with that? Sure - but we will not be at the primary reason if it happens.

Racism

Understanding we are not superior to others. Understanding that our view points are not always correct. Understanding that our leadership can be corrupt and abused. Understanding we are not the center of the universe. Understanding we are human before we are American.

The devil in the form of possessed brutal people who feel it's their mission to wipe out the US & Israel and the way they are going & with our help they may do the US but Jesus will stop them from completely destroying Israel.

Can I mention ...several?
Lack of criteria, curiosity, questioning, selfesteem, consumism and...isolation from the rest of the world (since u are paranoid all the time)
Well I guess all that equals to racism.
