Why is america so corrupt?

Question

I mean look at 9/11, what an obvious conspiracy, the goverment of amrica has always been corrupt like that, lets not forget nixon, the whole vietnam thing, americans didn't even know how their soldiers were treating innocent vietnamese people, that's how it has always been covered up, till this day, i'm sure thast the goverment won't want the news channels saying things negative like about how 9/11 was fixed. Americans just will never admit it, they are so wrapped up in their own lives and "greatness" of the country. Free speech, say you have proof about 9/11 being a conspiracy and we'll see who has the freedom to say that, i wander what would happen to them, they would probably "fall" under a bus or something. Corrpution.

Answer 1

The repuglicans were in charge for 6 years, simple answer but true. .

Answer 2

America is not corrupt in the sense this guy sees it. I don't understand why other Americans go along with this kind of insult to your heritage and honor, but when someone says, why are the French so smelly and sexually deviant? You all are awe struck with absolute horror.
Self hating liberalism is absolutely the worst thing that could become politically correct.
What if I ask, why are Muslims so murderous and vindictive,. Again, Americans are offended and rally to a defense. But let them insult us, you see their point of view.
America is no more corrupt than France, Japan, Germany, England or Italy. And certianly a lot less corrupt than Russia, China, N. Korea, Iran or Pakistan.
Plus, we dont have a history breaking truces or waging surprising murderous militairy attacks that we don't first declare to the enemy.
And yet, self loathing persists. Be proud people, you are apart of the most honorable system of government and nation the world has ever seen. It isn't perfect, but quite a bit more so than the world has ever accomplished before.

*joe c: If it were not fort liberals there would be no free speech!
*That is utterly ludicrous. the Constitution was framed by men from the extreme of any position and agreed upon. No one author has ever written..'hey, it's me John- the liberal- i invented free speech.'
The freedom of speech did not denote your right to be ignorant, it denotes merely the right for you to prove it.

People s.
***********Truth7, how is it "self hating" to refer to the U.S. government as corrupt?
There is a huge difference between stereotyping an entire nation of people, an entire culture, or an entire religion, and being of the opinion that a government is corrupt. Your comparison is both ridiculous and ignorant.
People blindly following their government, believing that it can do no wrong, thinking that it's "the best", etc...., pretty much guarantees that there will be a great deal of corruption. Because, with the majority wearing "blinders", the government is free to do as it wishes.***************

**to expound the answer. The asker poses the question,' Why is america so corrupt?' then he expounds on the thought by stating. 'I mean look at 9/11, what an obvious conspiracy' An obvious conspiracy that Americans are too stupid to see, or is it we were a part of it? As far as i know there were civilians in The Twin Towers at all hours, and Americans along with other nationalities were murdered. How are the civilians and ordinary New Yorkers not involved. They simply ignored the evidence of massive amounts of explosives being placed and detonated in their place of business?

'lets not forget nixon...how --their-- soldiers' denotes he is not one of us or the adjective would have been --our--, so what business does the asker have is inserting himself into the Nixon debate as if he were a citizen ('lets' or 'let us') when we can't even resolve the debate between our fellow citizens. In commone etiquette, one does not assume the role of reminding brothers and sisters of previous arguments, such an action would be insultive and considered to be intended to cause divisivness between the relatives.
'americans didn't even know how their soldiers were treating innocent vietnamese people' here the asker insults the entire American militairy and implies they were unilaterally cruel to inocent people. I have family that fought in that war, I don't particularly like any prejudice against family.

'Americans just will never admit it, they are so wrapped up in their own lives and "greatness" of the country' where do you see him saying the government of America here? He says, we are liars refusing to admit his view and that we are also selfish and arrogant.

'Free speech, say you have proof about 9/11 being a conspiracy and we'll see who has the freedom to say that, i wander what would happen to them, they would probably "fall" under a bus or something. Corrpution.'
That we lie about being free and that we will probably be killed for exposing corruption, so our fear of his 'truth' has shut our lips. His corruption isn't merely the conspiracy theories and government suspicion that you subscribe to, but rather, we, as a people, are corrupt.

So again I say America is not corrupt in the sense this guy sees it.

Answer 3

OH MY STARS!!!!! Have u no brains???? Not all people have greatness and r busy wrapped up in their own little world. In our nation we have people from every nation U must be insane to think 9/11 was in any way a conspiracy. r u part of obama bin ladens team or oh so insane sudom. These men r killers of their own people, to gain power for themselves. They stepped on our grounds to kill our people and no we did not put our tails between our legs and run, we stood tall and are fighting back for all Innocent people. We r not fighting against all the people of different nations we r fighting those men who are dangerously insane and feel they have no rules to follow just do as they please.

Answer 4

Because unfortunately, we are always lied to...and we are always putting the wrong people into very powerful positions. Since the Nixon era....the U.S has not had a single honest person running for office who is truly looking out for the American people. Too many lawyers running our country...and we all know how "HONEST" they are. They have twisted every single word that can be spoken out of every context that can be, to the point that we, "the people" can't even understand what they are saying anymore. They definitely don't speak American English!!!!

Plain facts are, we no longer have any good choices. You know...the lesser of two evils theory...or three really!

Answer 5

definite. i could say that in a lot of respects that's no more advantageous or a lot less corrupt than maximum western international locations, except this -- funds performs a higher position in politics contained in the U. S. than in a lot of different international locations. partly because the stakes are so severe, yet partly because of election fundraising regulations and the ridiculous concept that bribing politicians for political favors via marketing campaign contributions violates "loose speech." i could say the U. S. political gadget is more advantageous corrupt than maximum Western international locations as a outcome of all the money and lobbyists. per chance Italy has similarities?

Answer 6

The US government is to big and has a massive amount of wealth and real state and is very cozy with corporate America and that fuels even more corruption.

Answer 7

Donchya just love it when people assume that you-know-who is too stupid to pull something off like 9/11? Seriously people, you have to use common sense.... He doesn't need to be smart to do anything. That's why he has all those goons with their heads stuck up his a*s.

Anywhooooo.......
The United States government is corrupt because it's just that....a government. Government is corrupt. Government does not permit freedom. Government is a lie.
Self governance is the only way to achieve freedom and truth.

Answer 8

The only thing corrupt about America is the dimwits running around with conspiracy theories designed to mindlessly assault our commander in chief. America is the greatest nation in the world. In areas our govt can be corrupt at times but that really is a challenge to all govts not to become corrupt. Please show me one in history that has been perfect?

God bless America and may we have the strength to always do and fight for what is right even when we are under siege by the rest of the world and Islamic fascism.

Answer 9

hahahaha

like bush is smart enough to do this.

it was a conspiracy. seems like most evidence points to islamic extremest who have been "attacking" us by small degrees, since the Iran Hostage crisis of 1980. when they weren't given the worldwide media coverage they desired, they had to make "a big splash".

I am not repub or Dem, but Bush is a lousy president. to him the war is the only issue. he cares nothing about anything but the war. While I agree that the war was inevitable, we need to be holding the nations responsible for supporting terror cells accountable.

because of the "war" bush has used this as a means to totally seize power, he is not entitled to. and helped the terrorist by creating a sense of fear and mistrust in our own people.

because of this, I no longer have faith in the government.
and have very little compassion for "his" supporters.

this is a new America.
I don't think I'm going to like it here.
it's going to get BAD


Thanks republicans.

Answer 10

Because everyone believes in conspiracies, also we want to kill women and children that are hiding terrorists under their skirts. We don't need proof of 911 we know it was the Khmer Rue. As we eat our pizza and drink our beer we care not that other countries have problems. Don't look to us the next time Allah wipes out a coast line in Asia. earthquake hits an enemy, or a volcano spews out lava.

Answer 11

Speaker of the House Elect Nancy Pelosi today announced that the
Democrats will change the country’s emblem from an Eagle to a
CONDOM because it more accurately reflects the new government's
political stance. A condom allows for inflation, halts production,
destroys the next generation, protects a bunch of pricks, and gives
you a sense of security while you're actually being screwed. Damn,
it just doesn't get more accurate than that.
Answer: Liberals.
