Is it true that life in the USA sucks?

I think life in the USA can suck.  There are many undesirable places and people in the U.S. and if you have to deal with those things on a daily basis, that can suck.  Also, if you don't have any money in the U.S, that sucks too.  Things aren't cheap here in the U.S. either, especially housing, and so if you have problems making ends meet, that can suck too...  Although it is the U.S., but if you are poor, your standard and quality of living would be low.  There are also many problems in the U.S. now, such as many people doing drugs, prostitution, random shootings and so forth.  Those things sucks.  I think life in the U.S. can suck if you have to deal with all those undesirable things, situations and places and you don't have much money yourself.  That's just what I think.  You can't say that life doesn't suck if you have to live in a ghetto in the U.S.A or lead a ghetto life in the U.S.A. although it is the U.S.A.

To everyone who answered yes ,or indicated they would like to leave,or if there was a better place they would, please go now.Don't let the door hit you in the butt.\nThe United States of America is the greatest nation the civilized world has ever known.\nMy guess is most of the negative mouthy individuals popping off,have never lived in another country or seen how the rest of the world has it, or you would be on your knees everyday thanking whatever God you pray to ,for the privilege of living in the USA.

none of the above.  The US seems to attracts all kinds of people from all walks of life.  Its still a melting pot and all kinds of weirdos exist.  Some we like some we hate.  It's all a part of life.

The US loves to spend the money of its hardworking residents on worthless imports like yourself. I bet the government would give you money just to live here, probably enough to live in a penthouse apartment and then set you up in a law practice after you graduate and then you and your friends could take all your profit buy a plane and kill thousands of the people who funded your stay here... All this without even speaking English... DAM ain't we great

being in America is being spoiled, high taxes.. yes few benefits from Government .. education and sometimes health coverages... but over all American people are never satisfied .. never have fun.. fun to them is drinking and sex... .Not a fan of America.

Of course it is, its not as bad as other countries though. Even the ones that are smaller then us, but crime in America is getting ridiculuously high. Most of the tax money is spent towards better education, which helps in no way to ensure a better future. The criminals are going to get to you faster then stupidity will. And thanks to Bush's No Child Left Behind Act, most American children just got their standards lowered. Making them favor hate, racism, prejudice and all those harmful ... things...

That's a single data point.  I wouldn't assume that other country's systems are better without more information.  I think we just get firehosed with info when it happens in the US vs elsewhere.

If you think the US is bad you should try finding a public restroom in London England, If you'r lucky enough to find one it'll be some Filthy under-ground room.

It is very good for education, however job prospects are not so good. USA is the best!

No.  Its a myth that Americans don't want to do certain jobs.  What is true is that they want a fair wage for it.\n\n==\n\nRecently, a California manager of a lawn maintenance company was telling a reporter that she couldn't find any Americans willing to do the work and she was offering $30/hr.  The reporter called her on this lie and made her place an on line help wanted ad.  Within 3 minutes, she had 20 American applicants.

sometimes its not as easy you make it sound.  USA has opportunities that they don't have in their home countries. some people can't find jobs to pay well some can't even find houses.  Also America has many other luxuries that everyone wants to experience

Money makes the world go round, unfortunately greed comes with that.  We are the greediest country in the world.  It sucks, because there is so much to marvel at when you look at this country but also so much to mock.
