The USA seems to want to spread it's own form of democracy around the world, while it's record of fairplay at home is awful. The USA executes people, including the mentally ill. Treats blacks far worse than whites when handing down executions and prison terms. Cheats in it's own elections. Has had the two biggest corparate scandels of all times. The country also spends billions of dollars supporting countries with poor human rights records. Is this the way you want all countries to behave?

I agree with the statements of A I and yourself.
This is the dilemma and is a misuse of language and definition, the USA is in fact attempting to internationally implement its form of IMPERIALISM (not democracy) just as all other empires tried.
The USA do it with the $, the corruption of children's literature especially "Disney", their lifestyle "MacDonald's" & baseball caps, Holywood Movies all containing a subtle message.
Cultural corruption.
They ignore and abuse all other nations emblems and traditions.
This is not by chance but is a contrived plan to impregnate the world cultures with a virus (plastic) culture.
It is a big problem.
The population of the USA are purposley under educated and the majority blindly serve the purpose of their political masters.

I have no problem with executions . . . if it fits the crime.
Your second statement in patently false; blacks who admit to crimes are far more likely to go completely unpunished than whites, and generally receive lighter sentences. This has been true every year for the past 11 years.
The two biggest corporate scandals can only occur where there are big corporations. . . the conditions don't exist for the opportunity for this to happen in most other countries; otherwise it would.
Spending billions of dollars supporting countries is a regretable, but necessary evil in coaxing totalitarian regimes into democracy.
Despite the US not having the best record in the world, it is far from the worst. Check the countries in the link I provided if you want to know what an "awful" record looks like . . . and get your facts straight.

Let's say that what you say about the US is all true, and all bad (though I'm not certain that either is correct).
Would that mean that "democracy for all" would be a bad thing?
Joseph Stalin was one of the biggest bastards of all time--a villain by any measure--but he was still on the right side of WWII. Just because a country has flaws doesn't mean that it can't pursue a good goal.
Discuss.

Yes I agree with you...USA wants a new form of democracy all over the world....so new democratic country will have new problems and USA will turn around and help them in return of USA sole interest.
Ex: Iraq for oil, Afghanistan for Opium And in name of security sell weapons to this countries

I do not want countries to behave like the US at all. There are many fine people in America, unfortunately some of the people who gain high office and/or power abuse their positions. It is also unfortunate that a very large proportion of the American public believe what they are told & do not check if it is true. I bit like people over here in the UK. Our politicians etc just have less power. Remember to vote for an independent in all elections & make sure you check him/her out too. We can then start to break this vicious cycle.

Big Question.
Yes they do have an appalling record on executions, and yes blacks in the U.S.A. are generally an underclass. See Spike Lee's documentary about hurricane Katrina.
I don't think they are worse or better than many other countries though. I guess what you are getting at is the U.S. promotion of democracy, whilst they have a deomcratic system where citizens are effectively criminalised for being poor.

Let's see if all what you said was true why is it if given the opportunity half the world would end up to here, something does not add up?
