When will the USA clean up its human rights abuses?

Question

The USA has more people per pop'ln in jail than any other country.
The USA executes more of its citizens per pop'ln than any other country
Internationally, The USA tortures people all over the world in the defence of 'fighting terrorism'
Domestically, The USA has mass gun violence/massacres everyday. over 15,000 shooting deaths every year.
The USA has almost 50 million of its citizens living on or below the poverty line with no healthcare or insurance.

Don't dodge the issue.
My statements are apt.

Singapore might have a higher cap pun. rate...but Singapore is a city state.
but the usa imprisons more people than any other country per pop'ln FACT...almost 50 million on poverty FACT...15000 gun murders every year FACT
Human rights abuses in Guantanamo, Abu Graib, E.Europe FACT

I'm not a liberal and I'm not American.
It's a shame when foreigners no more about your own country than its own citizens.
Anyone who disagrees with any of the statements I made is living in denial and/or ignorance about their own country.

no? yikes...know..
sorry, i'm hung over

Meathead,
your handle is apt.
The point is...the USA has had over 230 years to develop a stable society, and is the richest most powerful country in the world, yet its example to the rest of the world re: human rights and both domestic and international violence is abyssmal.
China is planning on phasing out the death penalty completely within 10 years. FACT
You want to compare the USA to Sudan?

STOP SAYING THAT EVERY FOREIGNER WISHES THEY COULD LIVE IN THE USA! Canada and Australia, France, England....all have more multicultural societies...and per pop'ln have more immigrants coming every year.
IN CASE YOU DON"T KNOW...It's not exactly easy to get into the USA today if you're a foreigner...my Japanese girlfriend was denied a tourist visa last summer...not exactly a terrorist.

mymadsky...
so you support torture? that's cool.
your mention of suicide bombers actually made me laugh.
The USA doesn't have suicide bombers...because you have guns.

Idiot? thanks...i guess that's the way americans talk to each other.

Answer 1

when they start to respect humanity and stop killing people around the world claiming that it is for their own good and foe democracy, damn democracy if it means what is happening in Iraq, before the us government start thinking about human rights they should end the world hunger with the billions spent on wars. US government and human rights...that's a joke, it's time for the Americans to take control of the government to apply justice for themselves and the world.

Answer 2

You are so off base...

Poverty is based on a country's own definition. In the US the poverty line is at an income of $12,000 or less. which in most countries is UPPER CLASS. Plus those at and below that level have free healthcare. It is those in the middle class that do not have health insurance.

25% of the criminals in our jails are illegal immigrants who have committed violent crimes

We execute more people than any other county? So? If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.

Yes the US tortures people all over the world. Why, because your country doesn't have the gonads to do it themselves. Those countries not only let us do it but help us.

Sure, we have gun violence but out suicide bomber rate is one of the best in the world.




I laughed too, glad to bring some humor into it.

Answer 3

Most other countries do not allow the death penalty, can't compare that stat.
I would think you would be more concerned over the human rights violation in Sudan, Palestine, North Korea, China, Russia, etc. Seems you only look to the USA and its handful of abuses that were dealt with by the US already. What percent of the people in Sudan live below the poverty level ?
You forgot to mention that the United states gives more medical , financial, aid to more countries than anyone else. Another small concern is if the United States was so bad, why do we have more people trying to come to America than any other country in the world ?

Answer 4

"Anyone who disagrees with any of the statements I made is living in denial and/or ignorance about their own country."

Arrogant much?

I wish I knew where you were from. I guarantee I know more about your country, its history and its political system than you do. FACT. People who disagree with me are stupid and ugly and smell bad. FACT.

That's what you look like.

Okay, although I disagree with you, I can see where you're coming from about the death penalty. Reasonable people disagree about whether the death penalty constitutes a human rights abuse. I'll let that one go. But every civilized country on Earth has a prison system. How is it a human rights abuse to put an individual in prison for committing a crime after he's tried in our judicial system with due process? How is it a human rights violation that the USA happens to imprison a lot more people than most countries. You haven't cited anything about prison conditions, unfair trials or the crimes of these prisoners. All you're demonstrating so far is that residents of the US commit a lot more crimes than some countries.

Sorry - that's not a human rights issue. FACT.

You're kind of stupid.

Answer 5

I'll address each of your idiotic statements....

1. The high prison population is due to repeat offenders. The 10% repeat offenders account for 90% of the crime in the U.S. If we had stricter sentencing laws, this wouldn't be a problem.

2. The citizens of the U.S. demand criminal executions. It takes 10-15 years for the average criminal exhaust all of their appeals. To the average American, that is too long. We base our laws on what the American people want, not what the the international community thinks. Thank God!

3. Who are we torturing? Name times, people, places. Show definitive proof of torture. US policy outlaws physical torture. So show me, with proof, that we torture. You make blanant statements, with nothing to back it up.

4. You speak of gun deaths. The death average was 10.3 per 100,000 in the U.S. Deaths due to physicians was 120,000 ( U.S. Health and Human Services ). It seems doctors caused more deaths than guns! Automobile deaths were 5,350.7 per 100,000. Should we outlaw cars too? They cause more deaths than guns. And more people drive drunk and kill, than commit crimes and kill. Since 1999, the U.S. has seen it's lowest crime rate in 30 years!

According to a study, "Eighty-nine percent of American households were food secure throughout the entire year 2002, meaning that they had access, at all times, to enough food for an active, healthy life for all household members."

The remaining percentage included those who at least once during the course of that year, had food issues.

I don't know where you're getting your information, but to me, it's nothing but more anti-American rhetoric.

Answer 6

YES, I Agree with you Mr. Democrat/Clinton operative. America is not only the worst country on the Earth. It is also known by our Galactic Neighbors as Evil America. It is because of Evil America that the Milky Way Galactic Authority; Expressly Prohibits Inter Galactic visits to the Earth. Hence, this is why Space Aliens, never stick around for very long on Earth. Now that I have your undivided attention; I would like Mr. Democrat to help me with removing all the Illegal Aliens from within the Borders of Evil America. The Illegal Aliens need to be Deported back to Mexico where they will be safe from Mr. Democrat and Evil America!

Answer 7

Well, Singapore actually has the highest capital punishment rate, but who knows when it'll stop here in the U.S. There are too many people here who want it to continue... not that I agree with them. You're question is loaded -- just a touch.

Answer 8

Wrong! You are no doubt apart of "LaRaza" and anti-legal-United States-citizenry! Go back to where you come from and leave this place that does not belong to you. The United States is under seize, and will eliminate every illegal alien from its premises. Regardless of your statements, which are blatantly irrational, get your facts straight, do your due diligence and guarantee yourself a free ticket home. Your numbers will soon decrease from our soil. Why? Because the game just started, and the illegal-aliens who actually believe they are being embraced will soon leave on their own. How? No jobs, no affordable housing, no welfare, and no food stamps, no social security, and no need for your illegal votes, no need for you. Its thrilling. ANYONE WHO OPPOSES ME, IS PROBABLY IN A RELATIONSHIP WITH A SISTER OR MOTHER OF THE ILLEGAL ALIENS WITHIN THIS COUNTRY - AND THEIR PHYSICAL ACTIVITY WILL SOON KILL THEM, AS DISEASE RUNS RAMPED AS WELL. Just thrilling.

Answer 9

Unlawful Entry is a CRIME. Zero tolerance for immigration-law violators! No amnesty, no "stealth-amnesty." No "change of status," marriage fraud, "exceptional leave to remain," no "Temporary Protected Status." If you break the law, depart or be deported. Illegal aliens kill more US citizens each year than the war in Iraq has killed in four years. Apologists for illegal immigration like to paint it as a victimless crime. But in fact, illegal immigration causes substantial harm to American citizens and legal immigrants, particularly those in the most vulnerable sectors of our population--the poor, minorities, and children. Additionally, job competition by waves of illegal immigrants willing to work at substandard wages and working conditions depresses the wages of American workers, hitting hardest at minority workers and those without high school degrees. Illegal immigration also contributes to the dramatic population growth overwhelming communities across America--crowding school classrooms, consuming already limited affordable housing, and straining precious natural resources like water, energy, and forestland. Taxpayers are being forced to pay for the free health care, education, and other welfare programs being given to illegal aliens; Those tax dollars could be given back to U.S. taxpayers or used to keep our borders secure; They may be here illegally, but they sure know how to "work the system" to collect "free" medical care, "free" education, "free" food, Section 8 housing vouchers and other housing assistance, and hundreds of other social services. It costs citizens additional hundreds of billions of tax dollars at every level: local, state, and federal. It gobbles up billions of our charitable contributions. And much of that money ends up siphoned out of our economy and into offshore accounts. Illegal aliens, over half of whom work "under the table" with neither job nor income reported (nor taxed), are not counted as employed or unemployed. But some of those day-labor and off-the-books "job-lets" would be "real" jobs - available to American citizen job-seekers - if employment regulations were enforced. Illegal aliens can get away with tax evasion, et al., which citizens cannot. In short, we have too many workforce entrants and too few jobs created. The ratio works out to roughly 7-10 workforce entrants per job created. If all illegal aliens depart or are deported, all legal immigration halted, and all temporary employment visas abolished, we still have a problem with more US-born workforce entrants than new jobs created. Illegal immigration damages our country and our citizens every day at every level. And not even the attacks of 2/26 and 9/11 have awakened many Americans to the vast dangers illegal immigration poses to our selves, our families, our communities, our society, our values, our principles, our civilization. Zero Tolerance for Immigration-Law Violators! We must remember the lessons of 2/26, 9/11, and the costs we bear every single day. God Bless the U S A !
