Ultimate "Your Opinion About United States" Thread

[Grande_Milano]

Politics. Society. Economics. The question in the poll is about politics though, but we can discuss anything about US you like or dislike, how it influences your life, and general judgement on USA.

[Senor Penguin]

The U.S. could be an awesome country if it wasn't for the republicans, the lobbyists and the two party system. Oh and ... Without Kim Kardashian in Time magazine's candidates for "person of the year"

[Adit]

Hypocrites on international politics

[Grande_Milano]

If not for republicans' foreign policy views, they d be close to "good-benchmark party" imo

[Vibe]

America is such a bad influence on this world and society words just can't articulate...

[Senor Penguin]

If the benchmark is to achieve utter batsh*t insanity ...

[McLewis]

Should be an interesting thread.

[fatman123]

major hypiocrites in some ways, its really poor that theyve refused to sign and ratify several UN treaties regarding weapons traficking and the use of nuclear weapons and was one of the last coutries to sing into the Rome Statute which established the ICC and ICJ

[El Chelsea Fuerte]

Great place to live with world class facilities and laws for the most part, but major hypocrites on the international level. What I don't get is what gives you the right to call a particular group of people terrorists when what you're doing in their countries are all aspects of terrorism? And also on the issue of Israel.

But domestic wise it's fantastic.

[Pedram]

I want to keep it in common sense so i just say they think they are the boss of all countries.

Politicians who aren't hypocrites aren't politicians in any country
I won't comment more on them because I'm only familiar with their foreign politics and they act as a side which wants to convert power into influence
Where I have evidence is the education system. I met several people in Germany who lived in USA and came back or started studying in Germany. They have an incredible hard time to adjust in schools here. I don't think that all of them are dumb or lacking in some departments, I think the general education system in the USA is very poor by European standards
(Notice, general education, not private schools or most famous unis.., )

Can't say anything about European education but the US education system is not poor. That's why many foreigners come to study here.

[CBarca]

I tutored rich kids here, some of them went for an exchange year to USA. They had no problems speaking English ( raised and went to bilingual schools). When they were back they couldn't catch up with the studies at all so I gave them a crush course in science

[Grande_Milano]

By the way, one of the reasons I hate Anglo-Saxon politics and society (not people). US politics and Anglosphere is general is merely a projection of Britain's cowardice way of doing things. Like father like son.

Was re-reading things on Libya. In 2009, Qaddaffi threatened to nationalise oil industry. 2011, UK was the first country to express the will to invade Libya. Now, new government in Libya is expressing dislike towards dealing with BRIC countries. Italy will lose its share in economy. Who gets? Britain and France (Qaddafi also fined "Total" for 500 m before)

Reminds of Naser and Egypt (when he tried to bargain for 50 per cent of oil profits in Suez). Who started and was interested in waging war? Britain and France

Right after Iraq operation, contracts been signed for 60 billion barrels of oil (half of Iraq reserves) to...BP. Who started and was interested in waging war? Britain



Now, if you look Britain's oil reserves in North Sea are small and running out, they also importing almost all of the gas.


But on the news we hear words "humanitarian intervention". Though I recognise that countries, allof them care about own interests, Britain and Anglosphere has been the best in using it. Always in shadows

University and Post-Grad education here is top-notch....Grade School, Middle School, and High School vary extremely depending on where you live though

Post a source. And even if the NTC did do that, it'd pretty damn obvious why.
