Why I think Americans are Stupid...part 1.

I'm starting this blog as a response to all of the political research that I have done in the past few years of University. I have come to the conclusion that the U.S. is completely responsible for all of the world's problems....they are especially responsible for all of their own problems. I will randomly post interesting topics and findings that involve American issues at random intervals. Hopefully this will be entertaining and enlightening. We'll see how it goes.


My first issue with the US is their treatment of immigrants and anyone who is not white. America is seen as the land of opportunity...but opportunity for whom?
Americans are hypocrites. (not all, I have some American friends who I love very much)

I also encourage responses to my opinions, because I would love to believe that America has some redeeming qualities.

Here is a beginning list of random things I really hate about the US:
-they think they rule the world
-they act like they rule the world
-they think anyone who is not American is inferior
-they beleive they can treat anyone anyway they feel
-they exploit poor countries because they can and they feel like its their right
-they focus on individual rights instead of communal rights
-you can sue anyone for stupid reasons
-they don't like liberals
-they don't know anything about anywhere else in the world because they are so ethnocentric
-republicans are mostly crazy
-they don't like liberal ideals
-they believe anything the media presents
-they literally think anything is a threat and therefore there is a strong impending possibility of death


So these are just a few to start. I will read some interesting theoretical articles and will further postulate based on my findings.

Just so everyone is clear on my political position, I am liberal....in the sense that I think gay marriage is fine and I am clearly pro-choice. I don't think everyone should have as many rights as they want...they should but within reason and within the context of respecting everyone else's rights at the same time.

I also think everyone has the right to healthcare and respect.
