What is your opinion of America?

Question

What is your opinion of America?

Answer 1

In all of history, I would have to say America is the best country ever. True, it has had it's problems, but it tries to do what it best.

Answer 2

Resembling the fall of the Roman Empire. I think not, the Roman Empire was so much better than the U.S. now. It lasted for over 2000 years, it only fell when it was divided in two. Both sections refused to support each other.

I like America, I hate Dumb American Citizens. Not saying that all American Citizens are Dumb, just that majority of them are.

Answer 3

America is good

Answer 4

I think you have to respect a country that went through the industrialisation process quicker than any other country, considering they dont have as much history as say Britian.

I think some of the people are avery very ignorant,but obviously that does not reflect on the population as a whole.

I think your political system leaves a lot to be desired but thats my personal opinion.

But as a whole i think its alright.

Answer 5

people are dieing to get here!

Answer 6

I definately think its one of the better countries in the world. The Americans who say they don't like it are welcome to leave, yet they never do. There's a reason for this: they know they won't find better elsewhere. Europe and Canada send us THEIR educated professionals b/c their job market isn't big enough. Fat chance for an American to go to Europe and actually get a decent job.

Answer 7

Not to impressed as of late....

Answer 8

mm well to be truthful..i dont really like America cos well they are so..iuno just say up themselves and have this idea that they are so great and the rest of the world doesnt matter and they have those wars for money and oil and power. and they try control th world. And all their movies say billions of times how great they thik they are. the americans are always th "good guys" in the movies n stuff.

but as individuals i like them..just not really as a whole if that makes sense...??

Answer 9

many contradictory answers. Americans believe that it's the greatest country. but, then again, do they know what all countries are or ever were about? :) i think there's a bit of brainwashing going on. you are taught since youth to love your country and do anything for it...to fight wars which don't necessarily make sense. you say it's the greatest country, but then again you live in horror of terrorist attacks, your buildings have safety measures you don't find anywhere else.

by saying that America is the greatest country there ever was, you offend the rest of the world - what are we, chopped liver? and, how much do you know about all the other countries which you consider inferior? try to understand the diversity of mankind, of its values and endless possibilities.

and now to address the QUESTION:

America offers many possibilities in all domains. scientific research is largely encouraged and supported financially, which is a big plus - you attract many scientists who couldn't do research in their own country due to lack of...$$$. smart move.

Americans - just like any other people in the world. you have your brilliant, your shallow, your interesting, your common, your ambitioned and your underf***ers :) too bad you have to live in continuous fear. i have met some Americans, and they are mostly great and giving people.

but a year or so ago i have also met a young man, about 19-20 at the time. i asked him where he was from. he answered "New York". not "the US" - what i'm saying is he just assumed that everyone knew where and what that was. one of my friends who were there with me asked, "where is that?" and the American guy just froze in shock :) now, some of you think "such an ignorant, not knowing where NY is!!". well, 1. he knew but was just trying to make a point and 2. i am from Brasov...:) "where is that?" ..

Answer 10

America, I think of freedom and well.. shopping!

Answer 11

mmmm... good i soppouse

Answer 12

A good one. ^_^

Answer 13

It's starting to resemble the fall of the Roman Empire.

Answer 14

Kind of the same as I think about a lot of people.  I see so much potential but I'm frustrated because a lot of it is being wasted or misused.

Answer 15

I love this country even though some American's do not. The American's that hate their country are the ones that take everything about it and their freedom for granted and then whine when they don't get that one thing extra.

I believe the money I make belongs to my family and I, not some Liberal government functionary be it Democrat or Republican.

I'm in touch with my feelings and I like it that way.

I believe everyone has a right to pray to his or her God when and where they want to.

I believe that if you are selling me a Big Mac, gasoline, or a pack of cigarettes, do it in English.

I think owning a gun doesn't make you a killer, it makes you a smart American.

I think being a minority does not make you noble or victimized and does not entitle you to anything.

I've never owned a slave, or was a slave, I have not burned any witches or persecuted by the turks and neither have you. So shut up already.

I believe that if you don't like the way things are here, go back to where you came from and change your own country. This is America!

If you were born here and don't like it you are free to move to any Socialist country that will have you.

I think the police have the right to shoot you if you are running from them.

I think the police have the right to pull you over if you are breaking the law regardless of what color you are.

If you are too stupid to know how a ballot works, I don't want you deciding who should be running America for the next 4 years.

It doesn't take a village to raise a child, it takes two parents.

"Illegal" is illegal no matter what any lawyer says.

The American flag should be the only flag allowed in America.

Answer 16

has a good meaning behind it but is going to h**l by the minute. and I live in this country I see whats happening. Teenagers are acting like retards.....grown ups eating at mcdonalds.....and a president who needs ESL.

Answer 17

Love and respect to a Great Nation.

Answer 18

America is in motion always. Some parts go nowhere, they are an anchor. America is like a great ship for ever docked and the elements flow around her. America is a shipment of peoples docked at the harbor of a coast-land . America is more than I have said.

Answer 19

i dont have an opinion

because im a good american.
