But then I've hardly been out of the USA so I can't tell you how shitty non-Americans are.
But one thing I know for sure: Americans have poisoned the entire world. Now the Chinese and Indians (and others) want to build, like Americans have, the same kind of environmentally-destructive, money-driven, totally now-conscious mentality that focuses on immediate pleasure, convenience and ease that puts an immense pay-back on the future.
Cheap electricity that spawns millions of energy-draining devices from wallwarts to all-nite mall parking lights? Cheap gasoline that makes driving EVERYWHERE for any reason no matter how trivial the only way to go? Expecting somebody somewhere to pay for our excesses in real estate overevaluation, poor health habits, building houses on flood plains and in hurricane zones, believing that corporate-paid political flunkies actually give a shit about what happens to you... JESUS CHRIST!

For 60 years Americans have lived blessed, oblivious, and sheltered from the grim realities of life. I hear Achfalaya Basin residents confidently predicting they'll come back home and just pick up where they left off, and Texans saying 15 years of drought will end any day now, and people who blew their inflated house evaluations on backyard pools and $75K kitchen renovations say they don't think they should lose their homes....
Hello New Orleans 9th Ward, hello Tuscalousa, hello Joplin...
Of course you realize that 75% of the world's population would gladly live as any homeless American, with access to food banks, feed stations, and dumpsters full of discarded but edible food? You don't? Huh....
In 1948, America solved its conflicts with other nations without war...
In 1950, it decided to abandon that policy and go to war with anyone it felt was an enemy...
And the American people endorsed and supported that policy.
I don't give a shit what you think. I claim the right of free speech.
