Do you think that those things did not exist before people asked about them?\nOf course they did!\nIt is better for people to be properly informed about possible risks and make informed choices.

Until 4 years ago, my opinion of Americans was Rude, Loud, Arrogant, Inconsiderate. When I went to Mexico, this was justified.\n\n3 years ago, I visited Upstate New York, and my opinion changed, I have met a lot of good people, not many of them are rude and arrogant, in fact, very few.\n\nOriginally being from England, I have learnt a lot about American upbringing since I have been here. \n\nThere are US flags everywhere, people are proud to be American. \n\nChildren are taught the national anthem at a young age, they are proud, and their nation makes them feel proud.\n\nThey are taught that America is the best country in the world, the Land of the Free.\n\n70% of Americans do not hold a passport, or have never left the continental US. They have never compared their country to another civilised country, so are naive in that respect, and they tend to regard other countries as less civilised, and inferior.\n\nGenerally, they are good people! I live here now, so they can't be that bad!

They died out sadly, there are few of us left and its a lot of parents faults for not raising their children with morals, though some parents did, a lot of the children chose to not have any. It is a question of morals and now a days people say morals are whatever you want it to be or your right im right no one is wrong, people just don't realize no morals is bad. \n\nAt least there are a few of us with morals left.

America has lost its way. Ultra right wing anti liberal views anger your friends. Minimum wage and food, shelter, clothing and medical care are "christian values". I'm Canadian and we are as close to friends as you have in the world and we can see how ridiculously right wing America has become. Shame.

Read this site and the various questions on it. Look at how people spend their time and their mental energy....\n\nPeople are too self-absorbed to care about unknown people in some faraway land. The American Dream has become the American Nightmare, with morals at an all-time low. Citizens are raped, murdered and assualted for no reason other than fun! Why should they care about privacy of others, when they dont care about their lives? The American people have become so absorbed in their rights, that they have forgotten about the rights of others.

Yes, it seems that most Americans have forgotten the attacks on our nation, and the thousands who have died. It seems  most are willing to let  Islam take control of Ameerica. Almost no one is worried that iran will have nukes, and will be able to launch an attack on a Major American city.  It seems that all these people have become liberals who worry about the rights of criminals and aliens, than our own rights.  It seems that we have put restrictions of  Freedom of the Press and Free Speech when  they call for punishng  cartoonists who draw satiric pictures of   Mohammad. yet, it is ok to draw satiric pictures of Jesus.   Yes, most of us have forgotten, and do not care anymore. The thousands who died in New York City, Washington, D.C., and Shanksville, Pensylvania are gone, and no one cares anymore.

People have lost their sense of patriotism. Rest assured that there will be no loss of American territory to anyone. Americans are getting tired of illegal anything. We are getting tired of our corrupt politicians and all of it.

People now-a-days have no morals. It's sad really, a lot are influenced by media, and everyday life. But if people consciously know right from wrong, then it's all in their mind and their decision whether or not to do wrong-doing.

It sounds similar to when Rock and Roll came to America, and people said our society was doomed. Or color TV. Or women voting, or well you see the point.\nAnything to sell newspapers or keep us glued to the TV.\nTo scare us to vote against "them" and/or for "them". When it's THEM we should know more about.\nDon't get disillusioned, please!\nStay involved in your LOCAL community elections and activities! This is where America still works, and is alive.\nSo I think I'll answer: Yes, and shame on them. But if we buy into their stuff without thinking - then shame on us, too.\nKEEP THINKING!

It's only this present Administration that is allowing the nutcases loose in America right now. The people that rave about how free we are, as long as you allow them to protect you. All I can see and here are these people that are hurting others, and running other races down, to make them feel superior over other people. I personally don't act and feel that way, and I really think it is all very sad. There will be change as America removes the Tyrants from the Government, and replaces them with people with some diplomacy experience.

I believe that most Americans are under the illusion that they truly have free speech, true democracy. etc..   Compare the actions of previous actions of dominant empires throughout history.  Have we transformed or are Americans fooled by a cleaver rouse.

Yea, why what happened.  Did we do something bad?  Let me ask my native American friends.  Oh,  they're all dead.  Oh let me see there are some on reservations running casinos.  I don't make it to reservations or casinos to ask the real Americans if they're proud.  I asked the new Americans and most are proud to be still killing and forcing the hypocrisy of political causes and corporate greed on the world while turning a back to the Johnny come lately Americans here that have had their jobs outsourced or given to cheap illegal labor.    What's an American anyway?  Are they like Unicorns?  I am proud to be a conquerer, with lots of material things, fed all my ideas by religious fanatics, to be told how the rest of the world is by a media that is self serving, to let rich folks sit safely in the suburbs while my urban area that was once safe and enjoyable turn into a breeding ground for drug dealers, thieves, robbers, broken families, with everything handed out to everyone but me.  Yea I'm proud to be a part of that and will die for it if asked.  It isn't pretty to look at our mistakes of the past and present. Do I give up being an American because I have to feel guilty or dissatisfied with things not going my way?  I have no choice about being proud and American.  I will lie, steal, cheat, kill, to keep my proud American heritage.  I am proud to be American.  Why are you not?  You sound like someone who isn't maybe.  Don't be spineless and cowardly.  Yell it out.  I am proud to be American.  Give me baseball, apple pie, cheeseburgers, money, cheap chinese goods, football, basketball, cable t.v., cell phones, at whatever cost to anyone so long as I can enjoy it and even if I have to kill someone to preserve these things.  USA baby.  Have a hot dog on me.

I don't think the United States has become a bunch of loosers. I just believe that our politicians have been too busy wiggling around the problem for too long, and now it has caught up with them and they don't know what to. One thing for sure, they won't turn to the citizens for answers. They will continue to wriggle around until the problem is completely uncontrolable, then the United States will no longer exist as a soverign nation, and it will become the slum of the world. Crime and drugs will become the predominant economy. Morals will deteriorate, boys will become girls, girls will become power mongers. wars will breakout between homo and heterosexuals, babies will be harvested from the wombs of their mothers and be ground up for cattle feed, astronauts will hijack space shuttles in futile attempts to escape their beloved homelands, lunatics will rule over malls and shopping centers, the homeless will reside in former governer digs and mott-the-hoople will adorn the dollar bill.

I don't think of the American conscience in these terms, so I cannot answer this question.\n\nI doubt the liberals will ever provide a consensus for morality.

Yes, our society has degraded tremendously since 1970! I was twelve years old back then, and I have been watching. I wish we could get our old values back before it is too late.
