Why is America such a terrible place to live?

[Anonymous]

Most citizens don't have clean drinking water, the police are known to regularly shoot and kill innocent people, unqualified celebrities are often voted in as leader, getting a higher education will put you in debt for the rest of your life, the majority of people who willingly live there insist that they're not safe in their own homes unless they own a firearm, a large portion of the richest and most famous Americans belong to a cult that worships aliens.

Americans will tell you that it's the greatest place on earth while the rest of the world sees it as the world's biggest slum.

At this point I'd rather love in North Korea than North America 💀💀💀

there's a lot of problems and stupidity. There was some kind of a takeover of the school system decades back and people kicked God out of society, so we have lots of degenerates, our new God is money... and the Bible says where that goes... bad. So were corrupt, but maybe less corrupt than other countries.

What you described is people complaining about things that are problems, but for the most part, it's a good place to life still. It's good until you are unlucky. We are mostly free and most people I meet are good decent hard working people. In some areas, it's awful... those are usually democratic run cities.

It's ok for now until our debt bubble pops... it will just get harder to live. Many will suffer, a bunch will die.

If you have a better place, go there. Or put effort into making this a great place to live.

Go live in North Kporea. Don't let the door hit you on the way out,. Yes, we are in a slump right now and it looks really bad unless things change in the next election but I still think that America will rebound. Things have really gone downhill over the last 2 years and I ended up buying firearms a year ago because of the defund the police/ hate the cops movement that Obama started. The cost of college does not have to break the bank. I have 3 college graduates for kids and they all went to good schools and graduated with no debt and I am far from wealthy. We just were smart about it. It is the kids who want to go to fancy private scvhools, have a year in Europe and major in sociology that end up in debt.

Thanks for the MHO😎

Firearms are a necessity here in America. Crime is often so prevalent and you just never know. My husband and I had a few break ins last year, thankfully he's a gun guy and knows how to use them.

The education system is terrible. Obesity is rife. Healthy food is hard to find. A lot of store bought food is not fit for consumption and banned by the EU. Bread should be avoided. Everything is covered in sugar. You have privileged people protesting nothing. There's a victim mentality with a lot of people. People take offence where none is meant.

My husband often says that those in power wznt to keep American citizens docile and poor.

That's okay we don't want your kind here anyway so keep believing that 🤷🏽‍♀️

All I know is there’s still thousands of people trying to make their way here legally or illegally so it must not be that bad. If people are willing to walk hundreds of miles, possibly risking death to get here than it’s probably not that bad. Most people who are shot by cops aren’t innocent, the media just makes it look that way to create chaos among people. But no matter the world can think what it wants, a lot of us here in the states tend to think other countries are nothing but a bunch of pussies so we all have our opinions.

The lie of the American dream entices a lot of gullible people, its sad

Lol ok

Not all of America is like you portray, that this what the majority of cities controlled by a certain blue party are like,
But once you get out of them that is where you'll find the best of America,
I've travelled America and yes the water in cities is undrinkable, so much so that using a water filter or have bottled water delivered is the norm. the crime rat in those cities is through the roof with the criminal being the highest cause of firearms related deaths as they shoot each other. out side of those cities life is very different, almost a mirror image of those cities.

Well I would still claim north korea is worse. But it's because you are all worshipping the rich and rich people are parasites on the regular people. That is how they become really rich, give as little back as possible, to keep them producing. Your American dream has become a nightmare. You have more guns then sense and you go around scared all the time. Seeing others as a threat.

[Lliam]

What do you know about life in America aside from what you read in your mainstream media?

[Adam1978]

Internet isn't mainstream media, so don't think I am limited to it.

[Adam1978]

But north korea isn't on the internet so there you have very little info, but I am sure it's worse from what info you get.

[NamerOfStars]

Tell you what: if you really mean that, then prove it: get off our internet.

[Asker]

Imagine living in the worst country in the world and still having an ego 😂
Why don't you go get shot by your police and then remortgage your house to afford the medical bills

[NamerOfStars]

Imagine trolling so stupidly that you have to hide behind anonymity!

[Lliam]

I doubt if the asker know anything about life in America aside from the sensational propaganda she reads in the media. Her own country is probably a shit hole but she doesn't see it.

[Dargil]

It isn't a terrible place to live, except for Democrat run states and cities.

[MementoMori777]

I'll take that as a compliment

[Anonymous]

And what toilet if a country are you typing this from?😆😆😆

[Asker]

Switzerland, objectively one of the best countries in the world with data to back it up. Incredibly high level of education, low crime rate, long life expectancy, good healthcare, high wealth per person. Literally the highest human development index score in the world. Call it a toilet and prove your ignorance.

[Opinion Owner]

You're right I can't. Congrats on your country's banks laden with Nazi gold looted from across Europe.

[Asker]

Spoken as an American living on stolen, bloodstained land?

[Opinion Owner]

Don't worry the Native Americans are making much wampum off the white man his casinos. Can the people you were complicit in robbing and murdering say the same.

[Asker]

Uh huh i'm sure they're very grateful for being colonised, massacred and turned into a minority in their native country. Is that the point you're making?
My point is no country has a clean history, does that make America any less of a shithole? No it doesn't.

[Opinion Owner]

Yes they hate the paved roads, heated houses, nutritious meals, indoor plumbing, Healthcare. Do you hear yourself. 😆😆😆
And the sole proof of The United States greatness? Your sour grapes. Did anyone post a question about Switzerland. Do most people even know or care where Switzerland is?

[Asker]

I suppose you believe none of this could happen without violent intervention? They aren't capable of developing themselves if they dont get slaughtered like animals? They should be grateful for what happened? I knew American education was bad but i didn't think it would this bad haha

[Opinion Owner]

Clearly they didn't develop themselves. Of course they're capable. Maybe you're racist and think other races are inferior but not me. But the fact remains. They didn't develop themselves. No I don't think they should be grateful for what happened. They part of the great American story. You might actually be uneducated enough to not realize how much native Americans played in the foundation of our country. You're forgiven.

[Anonymous]

Why are you liberals so interested in destroying America?

Just go live in another country and STFU.

[HippieVeganJewslim]

Seems like You haven’t seen all of America. Ever been to Costa Rica, Panamá, or Belize?

[Dinosaursandanime65]

Don’t worry, next year and forward Sir Trump WILL, make America Great Again.

[DryGermanGuy]

It's way more realistic for him to be a convicted felon, son.

[msc545]

Agreed. It is horrible here.
