I totally agree with you on that, the US has major problems that are fueled by big corporations. My faith in US as a country has declined so much to the point that it's nonexistent, and I'm only reminded of how BS-filled this country is every day at school, when I recite the mandatory "Pledge of Allegiance" and omit the phrase "under god".Tanzklaue wrote:
mathexpert, the US is a fallen star, and way past it's prime. the US is more like a less shabby 2nd world state than a real 1st world country. it's structures, political and social, are beyond antique, it's economy is an enourmous blob that could collapse every moment, and overall, the whole world views the US as kind of foreign and just the guy in class who thinks he is really cool but everybody ignores.
I as a german wouldn't want to live there, and most people in europe agree with that.
and the US president is so popular because he is more of a marketing figure, and he gets promoted as a popstar. if you have a little bit of interest in politics, then you will know all the important politicians
Referring to the earlier post, I'd also like to add that I immensely enjoy playing devil's advocate and was really bored at the time. Of course I'm not so deluded as to believe that America is still at the top of it's prime; I just felt like stating how I felt about the matter~
