Well, USA is in many ways a great country and in other ways a very bad country. In modern history, no country has shaped the world like the US has, we all enjoy McDonalds, Coca Cola, we lean towards the American Accent rather than the British Accent(unlike before), we watch Hollywood movies, we go to New York and experience a fantastic city, etc. USA is a lot and very varied. Land of the brave and the free, it used to be.
But look at the big picture here. Things are going downhill(which could be said for many other countries as well, e.g. Greece, Pakistan, Afghanistan, etc.). So, as my topic says, WHAT WENT WRONG WITH THE US? They went from beloved super power to hated world police. They went from being a country where everyone could succeed to a country with huge social differences, with more and more middle class families falling into poverty and trailers. And with poverty and desperation comes hardcore religion. People seek comfort in religion and thus goes the opposite way than the rest of Europe, which is secularising.
What went wrong? Something went wrong. I have some ideas ofc, but I asked ppl what they thought. :)
Why do you even bother posting?
You never argue, you just post claims, telling people how it is without saying anything else to document it. You are having a monologue with us.
Well, I guess that's how it appears due to the answers I (expect to) get. Hardcore Americans come in defending their country and I am then left to focus on all the negative aspects. Read above what I answered about what I think about the USA. :) I plan on going to NYC this autumn, can't wait.
This thread is not about Norway, but ppl compared it right away and I fell into that track as well. But Norway is a good comparison as it is ranked #1 in the world to live in by the UN, 8 years in a row now.
This is what I'm looking for. You can love your country and still be critical to its condition! That's why we vote. :)
