Do you think us Americans are whiney?

Question

I mean, we are ALWAYS complaining about our government and how much we HATE Bush. People are ALWAYS complaining about Taxes, Income, ect ect... But in Most countries you CANNOT complain about your government, or you will get killed. Most countries, civilians are worrying about whether or not they will live the next day, not paying a simple tax. If you have not noticed, people who complain about America, have not lived anywhere else. You dont see people trying to escape the U.S, you see people coming into the U.S.

America actually gives thier citizens an opportunity to have a life. MOST (not all) Countries have public bombings or shootings daily.

Think about it. Id rather worry about paying taxes than worrying about whether or not I will live to the next day.

Answer 1

Yeah.  Americans whine like they're supposed to.  But they don't get involved in their government enough.

Ben Franklin wanted people to whine and complain, but to also get involved and control the government.

Answer 2

Oh yes!  I believe that we whine a lot in this country about things!  We take advantage of our freedom, but the good thing about that is...WE CAN!  What people don't realize is that they are living in the freest nation IN THE WORLD!  And they take that for advantage!  People choose not to say the Pledge to the flag, not to stand for the National Anthem, not to Respect their Country in General, which I cannot stand!  I try to tell them, "Be glad you are here and not in another country, where they kill you for bumping into someone!"  I am very glad to live in The United States of America and I respect my President and feel that he is doing a very good job!

Answer 3

The Human Right to Peace is something that those who complain about America could back. The Human Right to own The Planet and conserve natural resources in The Constituition or equivalent of each nation could help.

Answer 4

Great.

McCain 08

Answer 5

there wining cause its there country not the 3rd worlds , leaving them powerless to the point of frustration. thats why and broke and one day maybe homeless

Answer 6

The only one I hear whineing is Hillary. Obama pretty much takes the potshots aimed at him and McCain is too old to care!

Answer 7

None of those are reasons why we should not actively try to improve our country.  People complain because they want to see improvement.

Answer 8

The only winers are the libs. They cry like children that do not get their way.

Answer 9

My personal philoshpy is that peopl that don't vote do not have the right to complain about the government.  With the low turn outs we typically have for elections, that is a lot of people who shouldn't be complaining.

Answer 10

Well, you have to be a republican, and im sorry but, their is a cure for that. It's called facing the truth that you dont wanna hear about a president that has royally screwed up!!! There is many things in our country that can change for the better but, the republicans has had long enough to show us the damage that they can cause. Its funny, that whenever a republican fails they want to make other people sound like that they are unpatriotic to their country, when they only want a change from the destruction that a republican knows too well how to leave behind. If you believe so much in your party, how would you like to see a country that no longer exist!!!! 1-2 more terms of the same Bush has done and it wont!!!! I guess that all of you republicans would be whining too if you lost your jobs and your homes, all while the rich got big tax breaks that they didnt deserve. If thats called whining then you can kiss my democrat ***!!!! Be a republican, and promote big oil, big buisness, and your big ego's, making a bigger division between the rich and the poor, leaving no middle class at all!!! And if people are poor, well just blame it on them for being that way, cause its your easy way out to having no guilt!!! It's not only the price of our gas but, or food as well. How long, and how much money are we gonna have to pay back to fund this war??? Not only is it a stupid decision to stay in Iraq but, there will be no country left as much as we will owe for W's mistakes!!! Another republican in office is like trying to put out a fire with gasoline. Hey, and if it did come to living somewhere else, our dollar has already fell so far under your party that we would probably be getting a raise!!! We see people coming into the US instead of escaping because,they are tired of making the poor wages that our american companies are paying them in mexico cause fast food pays better!!! With republicans in charge we are only destined to become another mexico, with all good paying jobs leaving under your administration. I guess when all we have is fast food or walmart for employment then you will tell us that we should stop whining and pull ourselves up by our boot straps then too!!! There is always room for improvement for this country, either you can shut up and listen to the needs of the people,or help run it down like good old W!!!!!!!!
