Actually, I was not at all offended.
And we always find it kind of humorous, how people around the
world view Australia. We don't get offended by it.
That's good, Australians are known for being hot headed! ;) j/k
In any case, I think you underestimate the U.S.
Yes, many objectionable people are doing many objectional
things.
But there are many good people doing many good things too.
I'm confident that in the U.S, as in other freedom loving
countries, the good people will get the upper hand again soon.
It's an unfortunate ongoing cycle - part of the evolution of
humanity I guess.
Go seek out, and connect with good people. They are out there
you know.
The U.S is the worlds last defense against tyranny and
chaos..which is right on our doorstep. Don't give up on the
U.S. Instead go out and make it better.
Yes, there are good people, what you fail to realize is that
there are very few running the show. You might not be aware but
the US government is extremely corrupt. Weekly we have some
politician being busted for something illegal or nearly so.
Countless politicians have been caught in some scandal. Even if
it's only 10, it should be 0. If that many are being caught, how
many are not but still doing the same or worse? After all, our
presidential candidates also are caught in doing illegal
things... and these things are not just "accidental" or
"mistakes" but intentional criminal actions.
You know how japan will apologize for a train being 2 seconds
late? Well, in America, when a politician steals hundreds of
thousands of dollars, he doesn't apologize and gets off the hook.
Yet when some homeless person steals a candy bar, he gets 10 to
20 years. It sounds like an exaggeration, but it isn't. Our law
enforcement exits now to make a profit... not to make the world
more peaceful. Don't believe me? Just look on youtube for police
quotas and see directly from law enforcement saying they have
quotas.
Yes, there are a lot of good people in the US, and the momentum
the US has created through it's wealth in the past is the only
thing that keeps it afloat... but it can't last forever(for
sure)... but I give it less than a century(and each year it gets
worse, not better). So, sure it looks good on the outside but
it's cancer on the inside and it will kill everything in it's
path at some point.
These are very slow processes and most people don't have the
brain cells to see the low frequency patterns and trends. Like
all trends, it is not 100%, but the fact that it is as bad as it
is is enough to know that it is even worse than perceived,
because for all the bad news, there is always more bad news that
didn't get through. (sure the media focuses on the news, another
problem that contributes to the decline)
Anyways, if you don't believe me about the US, then do your
research. When the government becomes corrupt, there is no way
out. The government will not self correct itself(has never
happened in any civilization, except from overthrows, etc).
It may be a natural progression of things, but the cracks are
showing in the US and it's obvious to some... any just society
does not function/behave the way the US(any others) behave. Hence
we do not have a just society. Any that believe we do are simply
ignorant of the facts.
