Well let's see.  As we the citizens are required more and more often to change our ways to appease someone else and not the other way around as it should be, I think America is being assimilated.  Like the Borg say, "Resistance is futile!"  Something needs to be done to stop all this nonsense.

It seems like most Americans like to ignore that which is unpleasant. If it's not in their backyards, then they pretend it's not happening. That passivity is what got us a moron in office and has basically screwed up our country.

The more you know... the worse the U.S. looks

when we became our own country things just gradually changed...i doubt it was on purpose but it was more a "cultural diffusion" type senerio

I hear you loud and clear.The social collapse is happening as we speak.It's just that at the rate it's happening it looks like slow motion.I think that one day we will be living in a different country and will have happened right in front of us.It's a gradual process.The new world order is for the world to be under one government.I don't know if that will ever happen.I do see that everyday Americans are powerless to do anything to stop what's happening.To me that's a scary thing.

Almost all of the people I come into contact with on a day-to-day basis are not Americans, although I am.  Aside from the people in my office, I know only one American.  Everyone else I know are English, Scottish, Turkish, Australian, Russian, Taiwanese, Spanish or Phillipino.\n\nEvery once in a while I meet somebody who doesn't seem to understand the fact that I am not George Bush, but it is rare.  Almost to the individual, they understand that the American people are NOT the American government.\n\nThey see our news and hear our commentaries.  Many of them are as aware of Bush's unpopularity as we are.  Few will even bring up politics with us, but when they do it seems to be with the understanding that we do not like the American government's actions either.\n\nMany people overseas are acutely aware of what it is like to live in a country where the will of the people is ignored.  This is a newer concept for us, but it is a very familiar one around the world.\n\nI wouldn't worry too much about it.  Yesterday I was talking with a Russian woman who likened our situation to life under Putin's government.  They understand tyranny and rigged elections all too well.  Now we are finding out what it's like, and I think you would be suprised how much empathy a HUMBLE American can get.

yeah, America is often viewed as the country filled with people who are uneducated and have no clue what is going on around them. \nI heard a comment from a comedian, he said,\n"As a whole the U.S. is a country filled with idiots, but as a whole they are genius; Russians on the other hand are all Einsteins, but as a whole you can't find a dumber group of people." \nIt's sad, but somehow true, for example, try asking an Average American what the capital of Italy is, or even France. Americans don't care about what is going n in Dafur, in fact 95% probably didn't even hear about the country. Or ask an American to place Iraq on the map... and we are at war with this country!\nThere is nothing that anyone can do about that. But the fact that we are the most individualistic country in the world has something to do with that. People just don't care, they would rather watch American Idol, then worry about what is going on in Congress. Arrogance... \n\nOne day the political arrogance and ignorance of the general population will get us into trouble...

When it comes down to the issues that truly affect Americans. There is not much of a difference at all.\n\nFree Trade, Immigration, and Balanced budgets.

Just look at whats going on in this country & the Middle East.\n\nMy mind's already made up; it's time for a change.

I came here in 2002 to go to school I should be out of here by 2010.. I'm praying sooner. \nWhat I have learnt about the people of this country so far is that several of them tend to hold the view that other countries have nothing to offer, nothing of value and that they are the best there is. A view I do not personally subscribe to.\nI have met several Americans who have visited other countries but have not attempted to just see the country as is. Instead they have somehow stretched and twisted the country to fit into their preconceived mold of what the country is or should be.\nSo yes the view of members of this country is shaped by what is seen on television but it depends greatly on them. It is a choice. You can choose to find the truth if you so desire or to accept whatever is given to you. \nBesides the US isn't the only one with this problem, it just appears a bit worse here.\nSome people who read this may think I've no right to say what I have said. Well that's your opinion. This is mine.

The US is nothing like the USSR of yesterday.  The fact that you can openly complain about our government shows the difference.  Sure we have our problems here but, Americans really have it good.

yes sadly they are very relevent if not prophetic of our present and past government.\nNot many changes ssince then huh!

Probably.  There's been opposition to everything that's ever happened in this country, good or bad.

I see very little outside of the United States, so I will limit my remarks to my country.  Our culture has become very diverse.  As a consequence, there seems to be a wider span of beliefs and thoughts about the proper and socially acceptable behavior.\nOn one hand are those who are steeped in traditional moral value, but have been lead to believe that military action in the middle east is acceptable behavior.  On the other hand are the rising minorities who are coming to the realization that the “American Dream” may remain just a dream for them.\nToo far?  We, as a society, are too divided to solve our own problems.  We are rapidly building walls between ourselves and each other as well as the rest of the world.  We seem to have forgotten tolerance in favor of getting “in each other’s face.”  The seeds that we sow now shall be reaped at some future time, perhaps when our national debt is owed to the rest of the world.

it is everything that you said. the way that America was set up made it so that it could last through the times with only slight changes. if you look at the constitution you can see that they have only made clarifications with all of the amendments but as a whole it hasn't changed for the 200+ years that it has been in place. we also offer many basic freedoms that many countries take away from people.  when you think about it when this country was formed with the government and all there had to be someone behind all of the process some God like being behind it all trying to help it all form correctly and to be able to run smoothly.

Being that the US is the premiere world power, it is incumbent that the US is the police state, so to speak, for the rest of the world.  Changing presidents will not change that.
