List your honest opinions about Americans

John Wayne was a notorious racist and a homophobe.

So was Reagan.

So is Trump.

And you know what really sucks? Many Americans LOVE these a**holes and still think of them as heroes. Trump's supporters actually believe he was chosen by god and a better president than Lincoln.

f*****g idiots.

Don't know jack squat about Canada, while we know way too much about their own country.

The way they dominate everything.

Having the highest rate of women dying in childbirth for a developed country.

Believe in nonsense that should have stayed in the Middle Ages, like demons and witchcraft and that your kids will burn in hell for playing video games.

Leaving people to die because they can't afford health care, while associating free health care with communism for reason.

Firmly believing that poor and homeless people are completely at fault for their situation.

Trying to be "the world police".

Being incredibly prudish, although you wouldn't know it from every movie, TV show and the media.

Workaholics who think if you have more than two hours of leisure time you're a horrible, lazy person.

Obsessed with celebrities who have nothing worth celebrating, tabloid sleaze and scandals.

War-mongering.

Having more Nazis in their country now than Germany ever had, which, unlike Americans, know that was a dark period of their history and have learned from it.

Racism.

They're so warlike, even their national anthem is about war. "The rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air" is not referring to the fireworks during The Fourth of July.

Speaking of which, someone publicly sings their anthem poorly or forgets the words and they throw a fit that lasts two years. But what happened when someone singing the national anthem here in Canada couldn't remember all the words? The audience helped her sing the rest of the song!

Think everyone should be either a doctor or a lawyer. If a person gets a lower-paying job, even if they're happy and satisfied with it, they think that person is a loser.

The news. Full of alarmism and very biased.

Obsession with superficial appearance.

Politicians, UGH!

If they had their way, any person considered a burden on society, like the poor, elderly, disabled, homeless, childless, or unemployed would all be put down like dogs. I thought everyone had a right to live. Oh well.

Some things that are good were invented by Americans, like the chocolate chip cookie, electric guitars, beach balls, and the graham cracker. So WHY do they have ruin it all?!

And they ALSO invented machine guns, bazookas, the electric chair, nuclear weapons, cigarettes, and the Atkins diet. Seriously, the Atkins diet and the low-carb craze of the 1990's made me want to end it really bad, although the world ended because of Y2K so I didn't have to.

Well Euuuurope invented a lot more methods of executing criminals than us, like the Guillotine, firing squad, hanging, burning at the stake, etc.

When Americans started inventing new methods of execution like the electric chair and lethal injection they were at least trying to come up with more humane methods of putting criminals to death. Even if they failed.

And btw not to defend America's sins, but one thing that really annoys me about Canada is the way you guys are so quick to judge us Americans when I'm pretty sure Canadians have done some of the same evil things that we have done like oppressing the indeginous people who were living in your country first.

That's my biggest pet peeve with countries like Canada and Australia that were colonized by European settlers who feel entitled to judge Americans harshly for 'racism' when these people are all basically living on stolen land too.

America didn’t invent cigarettes....and some of the other things on that list.

Careful not to confuse ideas with people. A lot of people admire attributes made manifest by examples such as Wayne. If you ask someone who says "I really admire John Wayne (or the characters he played)" what it is they admire about them, I doubt the answer will be "the homophobia, mostly." Same thing with references to ancient peoples with legendary reputations. Go to a gym and find someone with a viking or spartan brand and/or logo and ask about it. Don't think alot of them will say "well, I'm a really big fan of slavery and eugenics."




To be fair, the Australians didn't exactly volunteer to go.

The first white Australians were prisoners ...but not long after, non-prisoners also started to emigrate there.

I'm aware that Australia was first colonized by prisoners, BUT stolen land is still stolen land in my opinion. They and the Canadians have no right to judge Americans in regards to that kind of thing when they're just as guilty of doing it.

But with all that said, yeah I agree with a lot of things lostonearth35 said about Americans.

Not to mention the raping and pillaging.

Other things I don’t like about the U.S.:

We’re the only country that uses the death penalty that isn’t communist or Muslim-majority, and our use of the death penalty is practically genocide.

The War on Drugs is just an excuse to imprison and disenfranchise people of color.

Conservatives push for the same things they accuse the Muslims of supporting.

Our attitudes toward rape. People on the right only hate it because it results in women not being virgins on their wedding night, and don’t give one flying s**t about the victim’s psychological well-being. Otherwise, a prosecutor’s first question to a victim wouldn’t be “What were you wearing?”, and she wouldn’t be accused of “asking for it” if she wasn’t dressed like a 90-year-old Puritan-era spinster.

Law enforcement is practically domestic terrorism, especially when people of color are involved. If this wasn’t the case, then why the hell has Kaepernick been kneeling?

Actually Japan still has the death penalty and they are neither communist nor muslim.

Americans don't understand words they don't use when us non-Americans use them online, where as I know exactly all words Americans use that we don't, so we all feel obliged to speak in their language.

India. Thailand. Malaysia.
