Top 10 Reasons why the US sucks |
10) TV.
American TV is 99% trash, plain and simple. The licensing system over
here has it's flaws but at least it keeps the BBC as the highest
quality and most respected broadcaster on the planet. American TV has
been ruined by commercialism, and the "entertainment" it provides is
merely low quality "chewing gum for the brain" from the idiot's
lantern. All those channels are no good if the best you can do is
Friends.
9) Walt Disney
The archetypal American Dream. Shamelessly capitalist creator of
America's childhood, twisting fairy tales and European myths into his
own Americanised fantasies while growing fat and rich from the
allowances of the innocent. Also a deviant pervert, despite his
outward family image. The perfect metaphor for American society.
8) Snacks
Sorry guys, but when it comes to food of the sweet variety you're all
fucking clueless. Chocolate in the US sucks, you wouldn't know a
decent cake if it bit you on the *****, and donuts ain't all that.
7) The Klan.
I don't think I need to say much more than it's a pretty fucked up
country where so many fervent "christians" feel the need to murder
those that look different to them just to prove their love of God.
6) Sports.
Baseball? Rounders, more like. The single dullest sport on the planet,
even duller than cricket. Basketball? Girls play that over here until
they hit their teens, when they find better things to do. The fact
that you have to score 100 points to make it interesting says a lot.
American Football? ***** rugby, more like. Ditch the pads, keep the
same 15 guys out there for the full 80 minutes and keep the play going
until someone gets killed and you've got yourselves a proper sport.
And stop paying them $30 million to sit on a bench for four months of
the year.
5) The Constitution.
The single most annoying thing about American politics, and the cause
of more left wing whining than any other sheet of paper in history.
The First Amendment is a good idea in theory, admittedly, but the
right to bear arms? See #1 for my opinions on that one.
4) Education
The US High School diploma is all but worthless. In my final year of
high school we had a mass induction of about 25 kids of various ages
from Seattle, who all had to join classes with kids at least one,
usually two years younger than them because the American school system
is so far behind European standards. I've heard stories about UK high
school graduates doing the reverse at US colleges - getting bumped
ahead because the American kids are being tought things we learned at
16.
3) Obesity
Linked with your obsession with junk food. Life is too cheap in the
States, and when you mix in arrogance, greed and stupidity you get fat
people. Hundreds of thousands of fat people. The last figures that the
British media were having a good laugh at suggested that around 40% of
all Americans have weight problems... that's about 150 *million*
people. And if you do lose weight that you should never have had in
the first place, you go on TV and cry with Sally Jesse Raphael about
your miserable childhood...
2) Therapy
...which brings me nicely to my second point. Shut the ***** up about
your horrible childhoods and just get on with it. All the *****
psychiatry that goes on in America is the biggest joke in the western
hemisphere right now. Self help books, anger therapy, $300 an hour
sessions with some quack who just listens to your problems and then
sends you a bill for advice you could have asked your mother for (if
you know who she is), and because they have a certificate you think
it's all going to be okay. Anywhere else we'd just forget about it,
let the past go and get on with our lives.
1) Crime
Pete may have gone on and on about three little kids dying in the UK
and how the whole country had come to a standstill, but here's
something he didn't consider: that sort of thing is *rare* over here,
and that's why it makes headline news nationwide. You know how many
people were shot and killed in the UK last year? Around 500. Crime in
Britain is nothing, small change. There are more murders in LA and New
York than there are in Britain. And we can walk to the grocery store
without fear of having our shoes stolen at gunpoint to feed some
teenager's crack habit. Over here, that kid is drug free, and either
working or finishing school. Recently two of our people experienced
what life in the US is like as they were held at gunpoint in their
Kissimee hotel room and forced to perform sex acts, then the man was
locked in the bathroom while the gunman raped his wife. America the
beautiful? Don't make me laugh.

10) TV.
Top ten reasons why the US is great (and please note that I am English):
10 The people - I've been astounded at their generosity and kindness on my
visits there.
9 Spectacular scenery on a huge scale.
8 Sport? Outstanding tennis players and Olympic athletes.
7 The people.
6 Food? Admittedly their desserts aren't as good as ours, but the variety
and imaginative combinations of American food is great.
5 Did I mention the people?
4 The movie industry.
3 The space programmes.
2 The music industry.
1 Yes, you've guessed it ... the people.

10) TV.
European TV is much worse. I know I've seen plenty of it. Most other areas
of the world don't even have televisions. Just look at north korea. Less
then 1 TV set per 1000 people.
9) Walt Disney
WD is stupid but remember that it is targeted at children. At least in
America we don't teach them to
strap bombs on themselves and kill innocent people. Why dont you go to Saudi
Arabia and start your work over there first.
8) Snacks
Same as 10. American snacks are much better than anything Europe has ever
produced. Other third world countries' idea of snack is
still roasted pig with onions.
7) The Klan.
First I thought you were talking about germany's brown shirsts and SS...but
OK.
6) Sports.
Agree with this point. Baseball IS the dullest game on earth. But don't
frorget that we also given the world American Footbal
5) The Constitution.
Then why do so many countries keep immitating American Constitution. Just
look at russian constitution.
4) Education
Agreed. Much work to be done.
3) Obesity
Better than being emmaciated third world cretin such as yourself.
2) Therapy
we can afford to go to therapist. Jealous of our success?
1) Crime
40 muslimes killed each other off today and you dot seem to care about that.
I would imagine this would be the first on your agenda.

Maybe it's because instead of running away or sticking our heads in
the sand or whining about what's going on, which seems to be a very
European trait, we stand up for what the hell we believe in.

No, you misunderstand, the British Government axed Charles I and Oliver
Cromwell then dismissed the parliament and took the title of Lord
Protector and remained a dictator until his death. It's a bit more
complicated than that, but that's the basics.

Don't argue with Americans about them killing their leaders. They believe Warren Report.
It has something to do with their advertising industry. Package it just right, appeal to
the studip and you can get them to buy anything.

The facts are the fact. The US has the greatest number of citizens per capita that are
imprisoned. You guys are the only industrialized nation that still has the death penalty.
I guess you like being the company of countries like.......... IRAQ, CUBA, AFGHANISTAN,
ALGERIA, ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA, BAHAMAS, BAHRAIN, BANGLADESH, BARBADOS, BELARUS, BELIZE,
BENIN, BOTSWANA, BURUNDI, CAMEROON, CHAD, CHINA, COMOROS, CONGO (Democratic Republic),
DOMINICA, EGYPT, EQUATORIAL GUINEA, ERITREA, ETHIOPIA, GABON, GHANA, GUATEMALA, GUINEA,
GUYANA, INDIA, INDONESIA, IRAN, JAMAICA, JAPAN, JORDAN, KAZAKSTAN, KENYA, KOREA (North),
KOREA (South), KUWAIT, KYRGYZSTAN, LAOS, LEBANON, LESOTHO, LIBERIA, LIBYA, MALAWI,
MALAYSIA, MAURITANIA, MONGOLIA, MOROCCO, MYANMAR, NIGERIA, OMAN, PAKISTAN, PALESTINIAN

UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, UZBEKISTAN, VIET NAM, YEMEN, ZAMBIA, and
ZIMBABWE.
And if this isn't bad enough, your homicide rate with firearms is the highest in the
industrialized world. What the hell is wrong with you people?

world.
Well, for one thing, we're one of the few nations with the wealth to permit
ready access to firearms, thus making them more convenient that, say, a
machete. But, since most of the alleged "homicides" are criminals knocking
one another off, who really cares ? By even the most conservative measures,
private guns PREVENT more crimes than they abet by several orders of
magnitude. Elsewhere in the world, the unarmed are labled "VICTIM".
What the hell is wrong with you people?
Actually, nothing. Right now we're experiencing a period of
"readjustment" due to extremely high levels of immigration upsetting the
established social order. Like all previous "waves" it is accompanied by
some unrest and crime. If we weren't such an attractive place, perhaps they
would stay away. Or we could seal our borders to all but those with extreme
wealth or critical technical skills....even better ! JH

Studies show that areas where gun ownership is high, crime has
dropped.

The facts are the fact. The US has the greatest number of citizens

industrialized nation that still has the death penalty.
Japan still has it. Their crime rate is among the lowest in the world.
We just don't want to be like socialist limp noodle Europe. The same
Europe who would rather whine about problems than stand up for what it
believes in.
I stand correct, however, I assert that my point still stands.
I guess you like being the company of countries like..........
So I guess if some third world country does something, it must be
wrong.
I guess you have a point since these are the only countries that the US invades.
And if this isn't bad enough, your homicide rate with firearms is
the highest in the industrialized world. What the hell is wrong

When national figures are compared by country this is not true. I think you can't see the
wood for the trees.

Who said it was a problem? If we have the highest kill rate, as you

problem there. Don't worry, we'll get to you.

while discussing firearms i hope you realize that you are on the very thin
ice. Hitler outlawed all the gun ownership and during few years that he was
in power tenth of millions of people were killed. Same is true of Stalin and
Mao
and both of their nations outlawed gun ownership. The bottomline is that yes
there is more low level crime when guns are easily accessible. However in
the long run when they aren't the trend is for govt to opress its people as
the have nothign to deffend themselves with. Then the human toll becomes
even larger.

I'm not suggested outlawing guns. In fact Canada, on a per capita basis, has as many gun
as the US, but we their rate fatal shootings is almost 700% higher.
Besides I rasied other issues that are unique to the US.

Please explain how this is an argument to get rid of the death

them because they have them? Hitler encouraged prayer in schools. Does
that mean that having prayer in schools will lead to another
holocaust? Your logic is pathetic.

Wrong. Japan, among others, still has the death penalty and they have
few problems with violent crime.
And, in addition to having the
death penalty, the US has the highest numbers of its citizens behind
bars.
Oh really? I guess we'll just have to start randomly releasing
prisoners until we get the prison population to a desirable level.
With a justice system that has failed in so many cases the American
Dream has been the American Nightmare for many.
I think our justice system is working just fine thank you. Unless you
can prove that most of those people in prison have been imprisoned
unjustly.

Wrong. Japan, among others, still has the death penalty and they
have few problems with violent crime.
And, in addition to having the
death penalty, the US has the highest numbers of its citizens
behind bars.
Oh really? I guess we'll just have to start randomly releasing
prisoners until we get the prison population to a desirable
level.
With a justice system that has failed in so many cases the
American Dream has been the American Nightmare for many.
I think our justice system is working just fine thank you. Unless
you can prove that most of those people in prison have been
imprisoned unjustly.
Once again for your benefit here are the countries that have the
death penalty:
AFGHANISTAN, ALGERIA, ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA, BAHAMAS, BAHRAIN,
BANGLADESH, BARBADOS, BELARUS, BELIZE, BENIN, BOTSWANA, BURUNDI,
CAMEROON, CHAD, CHINA, COMOROS, CONGO (Democratic Republic), CUBA,
DOMINICA, EGYPT, EQUATORIAL GUINEA, ERITREA, ETHIOPIA, GABON, GHANA,
GUATEMALA, GUINEA, GUYANA, INDIA, INDONESIA, IRAN, IRAQ, JAMAICA,
JAPAN, JORDAN, KAZAKSTAN, KENYA, KOREA (North), KOREA (South),
KUWAIT, KYRGYZSTAN, LAOS, LEBANON, LESOTHO, LIBERIA, LIBYA, MALAWI,
MALAYSIA, MAURITANIA, MONGOLIA, MOROCCO, MYANMAR, NIGERIA, OMAN,
PAKISTAN, PALESTINIAN AUTHORITY, PHILIPPINES, QATAR, RWANDA, SAINT
CHRISTOPHER & NEVIS, SAINT LUCIA, SAINT VINCENT & GRENADINES, SAUDI
ARABIA, SIERRA LEONE, SINGAPORE, SOMALIA, SUDAN, SWAZILAND, SYRIA,
TAIWAN, TAJIKISTAN, TANZANIA, THAILAND, TRINIDAD AND TOBAGO,
TUNISIA, UGANDA, UNITED ARAB EMIRATES, UNITED STATES OF AMERICA,
UZBEKISTAN, VIET NAM, YEMEN, ZAMBIA, ZIMBABWE.
Now, you asked how is this significant to the arument for obolishing
the death penalty in the US. Well given that Americans, like you,
love to shout your mouth off about being the best country in the
world, the most free country in the world and the must JUSTICE
country in the world, you seem to have similar values as the
countries above. I don't consider a the US or any of the above
country to be very prolife. All the countries above including the
US have governments that have been empowered to take a human life in
response to the breaching of man made law. To say that the US is
the greatest country in the world leads me to question your
definition of great.
Is this clear enough for you, or are you going to continue asking
your dumb questions? I don't hear any argument out of you instead
you are one of the dumb asses taht like to pick a part others
points, but can't make any of your own.
Why are you camplaining about a country you don't even live in or
couldn't even begin to understand?
