Why the hell did you go to school here if we are all living on a pile of mold?
Because you do not say no when an Ivy league school accepts you on scholarship!
Why do people from other countries FLOCK here?
It is not just the USA they flock to. And they flock to these countries because of the severe economic disparity within their own country and chance to make it within a system that is at least less corrupt than their own. Though what they find often times when they do come to places like the USA and the UK is that their situation does not improve much. Perhaps they can get better housing and enjoy running water and a higher degree of sanitation by living in the USA or some European countries but still they have the issue of becoming a slave worker making even less than the minimal wages required to be paid by law.
We have problems, but you can't blame them on the American people. There is deep corruption in politics and in special interest groups. The majority of American people are great people and no, we don't all have plasma screens in our bathrooms.
How ignorant can you be?
I am trolling the trolls. Please let the professionals handle this ok?
American policy, might makes right, indeed runs much of the world, and what it can't, they certainly try. The people in power within the American government are able to proceed with this kind of business as usual because the American people A) are too ignorant to find out what is going on. B) believe their scum bag leaders when they lie to their faces C) don't do anything to vote the problem people out of office and ensure their system does not become corrupt as it has.
The people of America have all the ability to change the system if they want. The top 1% of elites have marginalized the public's knowledge of this power to change the system through the use of voting. I would say they have even gone so far as to rig elections within the system to ensure their power scheme, knowing they could suppress any finding of wrongdoing within the media and political arena.
This is why again I say I have no sympathy.
The fact is America is a significant part of this world, as are other countries. We contribute a lot to the advancement of human kind. I'm not saying we don't supply problems either, but what country doesn't?
I agree, any country can levy its share of problems upon the rest. The issue is that America indeed levies so much more than the rest often times. Sometimes the proportion is so great that all others combined do not add up to America's total.
I love how you think we have been riding the backs of others.
That made me lol.
You don't think so? Hm.
Why is it you find American drug policy and American DEA in all parts of the world? What business does American military backed DEA have in countries like Brazil, Peru, Columbia? The mess in the middle east, and I'm not talking just the past 10 years, more like the past 60, that has culminated in... I am sure you know where that goes. USA corporations move into countries and exploit their resources and people for huge profits
Then they sell those cheaply made tinker toys to fat American asses at huge premiums.
I guess riding the backs was too subtle a euphemism. Perhaps I should have said murdering, terrorizing, pillaging, raping, and polluting the very same people American policy claims to desire to help and free through the wonders of democracy. Democrazy is more like it!
