How does the World view America these days?

This thread sounds like a bunch of people complaining about places they've never been to.

Actually have to agree with that. Overall living here isn't as bad as many believe, but it also depends on the city or region you live in. I personally prefer Alaska and the Pacific Northwest.

maybe it'll show the rest of the USA how to control your borders, as they have to contend not just with the constant background noise of hoards of latinos fence jumping from the south but pivot to their left and find people from the east mountain hopping as well. Heh, perhaps eventually all these once home brew but now mega cascadia corporations will defy the spirit of the founding of their nation and outsource to cheaper USA locations and the demise of cascadia will begin. This will beckon the rise of the Mormon nation of New Deseret, which will fill up the middle of the US to be a local power of unrivalled cleanliness and devotion to belt whoopen unruly young'uns

Pickup truck commercials are hilarious, they go straight for the small penis, "hey but a big truck can make up for that!" The most macho bullshit still on tv. Remember the sexist beer commercials of the 80s? Why did they go away but we still have to listen to "Like a Rock" every fucking time a new double wide load extended crew cab lined flatbed winch blah blah and we'll hang a set of balls on the back, free of charge!

 

The world views America with continuing preoccupation with disassociation (in some kind of "new" mystical sense) With lack of education on the rise and rampant disorganized yet "highly contained" chaos, this country is bound for a euphoric drop down the rabbit hole. Race relations are stickier than ever with "rebound rage" and jolted desolution, while the political arena is fulfilled with incredible and copius amounts of tumultuous behavior. Religious preppers and doomsday doctrinationers say the wrath is upon us while scientists and progressive thinkers from all spectrums of academia agree in unison and hold true that at least for the most part, our country is in a metaphorical (& methodological) state of agony and dystopian dazzling!

 

At the same time, the US is stronger than ever (although less strong than it will be for quite some time) thanks in no small part to the freeloaders / free thinkers / free press. There's no shortage of freedom and fortitude, but we must rely on our checks and balances to keep a good steady pace with moderation and keep correcting flaws. Its funny i used to think that Rome was actually built in 2 days, not 1 hahahaha! But anyway, aside from the fast food industry, i couldnt find a single flaw in American post modern thought... Maybe you can prove me wrong, and if so - remember that case studies are just as important as statistics (just like an ombudsman needs his / her galop poll to survive local elections) - See the John Carpenter movie They Live for references.

^ thx...

 

P. S. Theres actually a metaphorical rorshact test that can answer many of these things - it's called "Jump - The Book". One example is how to walk that fine line of balance between treating our constitution as a living, breathing body and an unchanging document that should be bonds.

This one continues to make my skin crawl, locked in a room with a bucket toilet, now the brother and sister were lovers? Jesus eww

 

This excuse for a family has been completely destroyed:

 

Parents - both in jail

Oldest son - dead

Both daughters - in jail

3 year old daughter - state custody

I view the USA as several distinct countries separated by region. Because that's how it is.

So if we just don't say the words "climate change" then it's not happening right? FFS

Even better. New poll says FOX news is the most trusted news network.

From what I've seen US news is shit. Fox being the worst.

Funny how they break it down by party affiliation (our glorious 2 party system) but no other demographic. It's a well established fact that 98% of their viewers are white people over 50, weak minds easily hooked to this reactionary propaganda machine because it tickles their us-vs-them worldview.

There's a large segment of America that has an Ann Coulter fetish. *shivers*

Off topic, but I was just thinking, Henry would make a good Negan in the walking dead. Could work pretty well.

Imagine the night terrors you'd have for the rest of your life if you tapped that. If Michael Bolton did tons of meth and went through a sex change = Ann Coulter.
