In Elbonia we have modern advancement, dish licking cats, cut's washing time in half. Why don't stupid americans have such thing? You all wash dishes with hand and feet? No cat? Someday America catch up with great republic of Elbonia.

Actually, I heard that in America the automatic dish-washing machines contain up to 15 cats and 3 dogs on average! The cheaper ones have less of course, and the wash cycle is considerably slower!\n\nPersonally, I have an army of specially trained preying mantids to clean my dishes for me - but then, I'm not American...! ; )

They don't clean themselves properly.  You need to have the matts removed and them brush cat on a daily basis to prevent it from happening again.

Let's start with Pr1ncess' answer:\n\n  "well cause their dumb" \n\nYou have to go no furher to figure out the the dumbing down of America starts with our youth.  This new breed of "me, me, me, and now, now, now" doesn't take the time to fully understand the long term benefits of hard work and a good education.  \n\nEverything they do revolves around shortcuts.  A microwave now takes too long to cook their food.  Spelling is limited to web jargon: LOL, coz (or cause as Princess stated).  Kids now post their homework in this site and have other people do it for them.  Yes, the education system is lacking, but this is more a sign of the times.  \n\nBy the way, Princess, it should be "Well, it's because they're dumb"  My pet peeve is people not knowing the difference between their, they're, and there.

The U.S. is only 200 years old. A relatively "young" country. While other cultures have been around for centuries. Sadly, the other nations of the world see Americans as rude, spoiled brats! \nDo you even care enough to make us feel differently? Probably not. But\nAmerica will soon see, it is just a small country, in very Big world.\nWise up!

My question is, 'why is it america's job to wipe the world's ass'?\nSeriously. How many more trillions are we supposed to spend fixing other countries' problems? What are YOU trying to sign the american taxpayer up for, exactly? LOL Screw that. Africa needs to discover 'birth control'. Sorry if that sounds cold-blooded, but \nquite frankly, at some point in time, other nations have got to get their acts together, and work to defend their own societies from these kinds of things. If they can't/won't, what exactly do you expect america to do about it? Maybe the bitter, correct answer is LESS foreign aid so there's less people able to live in countries that won't normally support their populations. Stop giving out money, and get people in the mind-set of not having more kids than they can support. Can't feed em? Don't breed em. Pretty straightforward, there...

Oil, and i agree with you. I'm tired of hearing Americans talk about how perfect we are. In school, everyone used to say "we're from the greatest, and most advanced country!" and "We're always going to be on top!" It made me sick. \n\nI think it's great to be behind your country and to be patriotic, but being pig-headed and full of ourselves is over the top. We're NOT on top. American is not #1 in education (i believe that space is reserved for japan) He** half of america is f***ing illiterate (he**, i probubly misspelled that lol). We're only as advanced as we are because all the geniuses  ran to america for some reason or another. We're not even the most advanced though (that award goes to some asian country; china or japan i think). \n\nSo although i'm not going to say we're not a super-power, cause we are (god only knows how that happened lol), Americans need to realize we're not #1. We're just another clump of land with people on it.

That is an interesting point about America from its neighbour. It is a pity that Americans have not earned the good will of even one of his neighbours. They need to have a re look at their international relations and relations with their neighbours.

Boof is not a man that will go for anything in the wazoo!! I, like so many of my countrymen and women, are sick to death of this whole thing. Push 1 for English! WTF!!! My freakin' Corn Flakes - an All American Breakfast - have Espanola all over the box! The Star Spangled Banner - not only in Spanish, but changing the words to fit their "cause"! Did you see the cartoon of the Iwo Jima Marines, except they have Mexicans in sombrero's putting up a Mexican flag on Mt Suribachi?! My a*s is big, but (no pun!) there is no way any of that is goin' in!! The American people have had it. It takes a lot to really piss us off - but I think they have done it, and it's about time! There'll be a big house (& Senate!) cleaning party come November! God Bless the USA!!

We are praying for a new president, please join us, every little bit helps.\n\nAmerican citizens are actually good hearted people for the most part.

Can't believe the answers some people post in this place.\nLet me try to explain something to every reader here: DEMOCRACY DOES NOT EQUAL CIVILIZATION.\nI've heard so many Americans say "oh my God, those people in the middle east are savages, they don't even have a Democracy!!!!". Just can't believe it...\nWe're talking about a culture that has sustained itself through the millenia without democracy, and pretty well I shall say. What happened then that we read about them in the papers every day? WE CAME IN. Americans came in. Europeans came in. We're just trying soooo hard to get their culture like ours, selling them everything they "have to" consume, forcing them to follow our examples.\n\nI remember when the war in Afghanistan started, several major TV networks decided to make a drama scene about "women in Afghanistan", remember that? I actually heard a spokeswoman saying "it brutal how they treat women, not allowing them to expose their bodies. They are complete savages!".\n2 months later there was a video response from some women in Afghanistan, trying to explain to us, stupid close minded Americans, that that's how they lived, and that they were ok with it!\nMiddle East cultures, if you've read any of the Corahn, have a great respect of women. They do not abuse them, that only happens in "civilized" countries like ours.\n\nYes, we are forcing them to accept democracy and to accept the westernized way of life. It's really sad actually, if this keeps on there will be no variety at all in the way people think. Not until we all think like Americans.\n\nAnd the answers in this and other questions throughout this site is just a proof of how close minded we can be.

Why stop with sharing a toothbrush?  \n\nDid you ever stop to think that toilet paper has two sides?  One side for you and one side for Cousin Leo...

you said it with no get rich quick. you must work hard and long hours. thats the basic. people have become millionairs from washing dishes. they dont wash them when they're rich of course. they probably own chain of restaurants. but the basic was there in the beginning - hard long hours. anything beyond that is the lets get rich quick attitude.

As pretty513 has just confirmed - many Americans are quite dumb. I have no idea whether this is the fault of the education system. The UK's education system isn't great at the moment, but I came through it being able to spell and use correct grammar. Going by the spelling and grammar of many of the Americans on here, I think their education has failed them somewhat.

Some people just don't care about good hygiene - they don't bathe frequently or wash their clothes regularly and some people do the same things because they're poor.  It is sometimes a cultural thing too - Americans are often overly obsessed with cleanliness and other cultures are less concerned.  I shower usually once per day unless I get really dirty or sweaty.

"Now" was a poor way to start this ?, they have been mixing for as long as cultures have existed.  Welcome to human evolution.  All cultures have different values, and almost all cultures have individuals with the wisdom to see their own culture's disadvantages and other culture's advantages.

The use of a bidet to wash ones genitals is a concept that has not made it's way across the Atlantic... It is also why Americans are disgusted by some Europeans who don't shower or bathe daily...
