What is your thoughts on the U.S.

I see it as a culture that embraces the shallow things in life. Youth, beauty, wealth. You do not respect wisdom or age. (Same here in Australia by the way.) You are a wealthy country, yet do not take care of your sick or poor. I get the impression that you do not provide good eduction to your poor. You are very self focused and narrow minded, unaware of the world bey

Robin, I think though you've never been in the US you're quite right about what you said.

I have been struck by the way of life here. People are really busy, but focused on their jobs and their own private lives. People are welcome to chat and joke but relationships don't go any further; they give you a friendly first impression but after that relationships get stuck and remain at a shall

Well, I feel that I have to.. umm.. sort of stand up for the U.S.

Yes, I am a member of the United States, but I feel I should go ahead and give an answer to this question. I live in what we all call the 'South', namely southern Oklahoma. I believe that there is a differnce in 'culture' in the united states itself. The differnce being in the South and the north. Normally when someone hea

Okay for one I live in southern Illinois, which is not the south or the north. The south is just as self-involved as the north midwest or west. Look at Atlanta, Birmingham, New Orleans. All cities are like that not just the ones in the north.
The town I live in is pretty small, so its all farmland and countryside here.
I hate the impression Americans give on foreign countries. Not

you r right brendan,,i don t think that all americans are evil,,but petfriend6 says that they bring freedom to the world,,how is it? every nationality have a chance to think about their future by themselves,i think.. you can t take it by war,,your government educates your people in one way,their way.. i think that world go bad,,and it causes by us government,,so every people think about us govern

As a Chinese who has never been in US, I am not qualified to say any bad words on US. The country used to be, now still is and will go on being in future a Paradise for many many of Chinese. A shortage can be useful only when it is discovered by its owner. Politically, American enjoy more freedom and human rights and US is the greatest power in the world; Economically, generally speaking no one d

yes,,as i ve said,people mention about the government or dream country!!..i wanna to meet the personalities from us different from holywood movies,,cose i m curious about the mind.. us is the locomotive of technology and science now,it s so fine for world,but i don t like their effect on traditional cultures,literatures or musics..because i think that us culture(or shown us-i know) depends on popu

True. Popularity is a big issue here, and it's sad. You know to alot of us, we like our government, but alot of times we don't like the way it is ran by the people in office. Like at this moment, Sorry but I can't stand President Bush and want him out of office. He's a waist of time and money, and is a murderer in my opinion. Hundreds of troops snf innocent civilians are being slaughtered o

I am an American and I think our culture is changing -- going backward, in fact. This is partly the fault of the neo-conservative movement in our country.

There are two major modes of thought here in the U.S. One is progressive and the other is conservative. Now there is a third -- neo-conservatism. Neo-conservatism, which started in the 1950s and was based on the beliefs by a philosopher

i think theres a problem with people seeing the worst in people, partly cuz thats all thats shown. yes there are some problems in the US, but any person who thinks their country dosent have any problems is fooling themselves. the US has many many great people, opportunities and freedoms! and again that goes for other countries as well! i think we need to look beyond the shallow ignorant
