America used to be a wonderful country but it is no longer. We have become govermentally corrupted and blind to suffering. Racist run rampant and free. Murderers get off because they are rich and the mob really runs everything. America is on the verge of becoming overrun. We are going to be attacked again and be running around like chickens with our heads cut off. Someone else is going to take over. Probably someone worse but more stable. So much bad stuff happens because we're on the verge of a government collapse. Our so called president is dictator/monarch is running us into the ground and the worst part about it is that we voted for him. Actually i dint i cant vote yet. still its americas fault because we just sit back and do nothing. to scared or content with our fallen civilization.

Why America is not a "great" nation, including things that DON'T happen in other nations: For one, we need to stop calling ourselves the "Land Of The Free"-thats an insult to intelligence for a country that incarcerates more people than any other nation. Next, our wars-Can you name ANY OTHER NATION IN THE WORLD that occupies many nations at the cost of innocent men, women and children? Russia? No. China? No. Any at all? Nope.
Another big joke is how the rich can keep their $$ in the Cayman Islands while the middle and poor have to make up the differences. Nothing to see here-move along.
It's also so "amazing" that we NEVER see or hear about children of Congress getting their heads blown off in the wars their parents start; I assure you, its no coincidence. Did the Bush girls serve? NO. Cheney's dogs? NO. Clintons' little Chelsea? No. Need I go on?
Next, the USA spies on U.S. citizens more than any other nation-at the cost of OUR tax $$'s. Feel safer yet? I bet you did right before 9/11, right?
Our country is a sad, horrible place to be, and I am ashamed to be an American, especially being born and raised all my life here. I would do anything to move to another great country that treat its people like humans, not lab rats. the only thing keeping me back? $$$$$$!!!!!

If you think about it, horrible events happen everywhere. As Americans, our perspective is limited to the news we are exposed to.
News from other parts of the world tend to focus on geopolitical issues rather than general events that affect the population of that country.

It's a pretty big country. I'm sure the percentage is about equal or less than other countries.
