My dad said America might have more money than all of the other countries combined!
It depends on the deals.

It all comes down to "Gross National product" something we had in our pocket at one time! But are politicians gave that away(free trade agreement, Yeah right!), do you know Japanese own NY Time Square and have for years??? Great now I'm angry all over again!!! And I can't laugh it off?

I want to be clear, I'm not against free trade but I would like some of the same blockades as are counter parts get and do, some countries won't except imports till their quota is met, sounds fair and good for business to me? Y/N

It's because America is a slave to the corporations. It's the private industrial complex. Not only that, but this government gets involved in other country's problems in the name of democracy while letting worse off countries continue to suffer. I'm not saying America has some secret agenda or is lying about why they get involved, simply that it doesn't add up and even if it did, it doesn't help the people at home. America is the best, worst country in the world. Freedom, number 1 and all of that other stuff. However their blaring contradictions are damaging and too much to mention on a forum about...mantids.
In regards to the comments. I see them and laugh. Some of it is true, others are not, doesn't get to me either way. Those are much better than the racist and homophobic comments I see on their.

"America is the best, worst country in the world". Do you mean it is said to be the best but is the worst?

It's OK, free speech in the "Other discussions" should be fine? This is America still right?

I mean it truly is the best in many regards, this isn't a third world country and regardless of our current economic situation, America is a world leader and key component in world politics. That being said, there are still some places in the US that you would mistake for a third world country and some of the policies in place are outdated or just plane invasive, not to mention the horrible past of this nation.
But in actuality, this thread started with talking about American citizens, not really the government. I think the problem with most Americans is that they are complacent and truly represent the "ignorance is bliss" mentality, rallying behind "causes" that are baseless while ignoring the blaring problems in this nation. Blaming presidents (regardless of political affiliation) despite the fact that the president virtually has no power and the three branches of government are not equal, the executive branch being the lowest of all, yet most Americans continue to do nothing, like consumer cattle.
And yes, it's the "other discussion" so virtually anything goes, I just didn't want to spark a political debate that may result in bad blood between forum members
Last thing I need is for the only wide arm breeder to not sell me some specimens because we disagree on something as trivial as politics.
