Why you may ask? The United States is all about freedom. But, freedom in the United Sates is pretty much going down the tube its being more of a communist country anymore. So, because the Unites States started out as a country of freedom, we all have the freedom to do what we want, as in fornication, drinking, drugs and everything else you can think of. All of this stuff is worse in the United States than anywhere else. Think about it, why does everybody from other countries come over into the United States all the time? For freedom to do what they want because we have it all!!!!! This is just my opinion......but I know I'm right.

Is this satire? It's so hard to tell these days.
I'll assume it's not.
What makes you think the US has more drinking, drugs, sex and "everything else you can think of"?
You throw around the word communism very casually. Do you even know what that word means? If so, what about this country makes you think it's communist?
It's clear you haven't traveled outside the US much. In that case this is a theoretical argument (as opposed to a practical one). It's also clear that you do not have a strong grasp on logic or how to form an argument.
It's a free country so you are free to post this question, but you are very obviously inexperienced and lack the knowledge to make this sort of an argument. I suggest you travel a bit, get to know more about other cultures and religions, take some classes and then revisit this question. Good luck!

Communism is usually associated with the restriction of freedoms and your argument is that the US is going down hill because people have the freedom to do what they want and make bad choices sometimes? More liberal countries like Norway and Denmark technically have more freedoms in terms of sexual taboos and drug/alcohol laws but far less violence and crime. I don't think I agree with you although I think the US has problems for other reasons.

Ok first of all, I want to see the stats that "The US is the worst of all".
The US has all those things but so most of the other powerhouse countries in the world. Do you want to know why a lot of people don't like the US? Because we are "arrogant". Hate to clue you in, but most times they are referring to the bible beating fundamental Christians that are trying to "save" the world.

If you mean the babylon being referred to in Rev. 18, I agree. It seems somehow the russians will figure out how to pull off a surprise "only" strike. I hope we're wrong, but.....

A women in prophecy describes a church not a nation. Babylon (the whore) is a false religion.

Have you been to any other country yet?
And I don't mean Canada or Mexico.
You might be surprised!
You might learn something new.

So you are telling me the divinely inspired book couldn't predict the name of the nation that would fall so you have to interpret Babylon to mean the USA?
What a crappy divine inspiration.

There's nothing wrong with sex, drugs, tobacco or booze. If you can't handle it, don't do it. But just because it's wrong for you, don't try to take it away from the rest of us.
