Why are we Americans so scared of protesting against the Government?

Question

Even the French do better than us in that department.

Answer 1

I think it's not so much scared of protesting as it is that if you compare our Government to others it's much better.  Some people are content with it. Also could be the size of the country. And of course... People are lazy... they don't care about government.

Answer 2

I'm not "scared".  I just haven't been convinced of any positive effect protesting would accomplish at this time.

Answer 3

americans are not afraid to protest about the government, we ***** about it everyday, we are just afraid to do anything about it because nobody will stick together long enough to make a difference.

Answer 4

What we have here is another one of the Liberal Do Gooders. Nothing is right about America. Health care is no good, but not a word on how it can be improved. If you want to protest against the government, do so. And if you think the French are so d**n good, Go over there and protest.  One question, aside from complaining what have you done to advance your country? Frank Costello said" I pay my taxes".

Answer 5

who's scared?

Answer 6

We ARE the government; if you think something needs to be fixed, go out there and be part of the solution
