Have we as a nation become narcisistic? eg, the Kennady's and Kerry's give nothing to charties, say we must.

Question

Our leaders eg, Kennedy, Kerry and others on the left expect us to follow them but if we disagree with them we are racest, bigots, what have you. Give them facts to show them they are wrong and your some kind of nut. Shame on you for confussing the issue with facts. Some on the right do give but can be as enflexable. Since JFK stated," ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country," all people seem interrested in is themselves.What has happened to us. Where did we go wrong. Even with the imigration issue some want all sent back and some want all let in. Give them facts,eg what about us obeying our laws on the issue or letting them in with some payment for breaking our laws and your confusing the issue with facts. Have we become so secular that we have forgotten the Christen roots on which this country was built. The world is not a safe and wonderful place any more. We should at least take care of each other.

Answer 1

I'm Italian, I think you're right, usa are seen as a little bit narcisistic.
But I guess not all american people are like this, i personally know some americans, who study in Italy, and of course you too, are the evidences that american people have much qualities too (first of all, the ability to see your own defects, in italy it's not the same i guess...)

Answer 2

I think America is continually becoming more narcissistic. Many people seem to think everything should be about them. I do not think it is the majority of Americans that are like this but the most prominent Americans seem to be.
