Reputation: 131Even in USA, people who don't live in the south think we're all hillbillies who don't wear shoes or have electricity. <southern
As for the rest of the world...yeeeeah, they don't like us very much at all.
Reputation: 1151It really sucks to be generalized into the rest of america like that. I mean, I hate it just as much as the rest of the world, but theres nothing I can do.

Reputation: 10erm, well I chat regularly with a few Americans on here, obviously you're not all bad :]
a few things that piss me off:
1) gun culture
2) The government's belief that it is above any law or convention.
3) Horrible mistreatment of Latin America.
4) Most Americans don't know anything about the rest of the world, and don't care.
5) Goddamn right wing talk radio. Shut that shit down, please.
6) The lead up to the election takes ****ing ages, and we hear about every stupid mind numbing detail, even in other countries.
I don't like America as a country but I give every single person a chance.

I don't blame America for that though...its just how I was born.

Reputation: 10Somewhere along the lines of that. A lot of autistic kids-adults give up on life. I was motivated and put a lot of effort into learning basic skills and then builing upon
I probably wouldn't be reading your post and responding to it if not for 10+ years of homeschooling.
I think a lot of the special education teachers in schools these days think we are worthless pieces of garbage. My special ed teacher sucked bad.
One of the reasons why I am going into the field of special education.
Reputation: 677I think the Us are fairly great, in comparison especially.
What pisses me of about the US is that people write stuff like that;
second or third?
How in ****ing any way?
Or for example, that thread about the german hacking police;
The US has about 3 times as invasive laws, for some 5 years now, people just don't notice.
The thing that always has me shake my head, is that people have no ****ing idea what good the US actually does for it's citizens, but goes way out into the deepest Bull to convince (whom? himself? no idea tbh) people that those things it does shitty are either not bad at all or not as bad anyways.
Short:
US is ok,
People there however are rather confused peeps, that hardly ever snap out of it.
Most are simply not capable of a global, or even a reasonable viewpoint of things and repeat about any crap they pick up as long as it serves their needs (or equally often doesn't, but that makes no difference to them either, as they won't comprehend that).
([as I have to add, sadly only,] With exceptions.)
(I'm Canadian)
Some Americans are really scary (Bush for example), others are just fine (The Wendy's girl).
I think your country is fine except:
-Little too patriotic, patriotism is like school spirit, fine in small doses.
-Less guns please.
-Bush is a horrible president who pre-pardoned himself and his bunch against war crimes (and crimes against humanity?).
-Too many bible thumpers.
-Too much attention to things that aren't actually news that you still call news (ZOMG CELEBRITY BABIES!!! Oh, and that damn dead caley chick doesn't need 8 months of daily coverage).
-Less election garbage.
I don't think anything of "you".
One thing that does bother me, that I have seen in a great amount of Americans; culturally and individually, is this general miseducation about other countries. Specifically Europe and it's generally among women.
This idea that Europe, especially England, is this cute, modern day, artistic curiosity where we all "talk funny" and live in an age of knights and elves.
You'd be forgiven for thinking I'm joking. I just hate any kind of -phile. Anglo, Japano etc.
