Disclaimer: This thread is my own current personal opinion and not something I ever plan on taking action on. This thread deals with my views on the United States, so if you're a hardcore, die-for-my-country, America rules the world kind of person, you might as well leave now. This thread in no way implicates that I judge, or ever plan on judging US citizens based on my feelings towards the country itself. I have several very good friends that are US citizens and they are good people. This thread will use "the US" as a general statement referring to the stereotypical asshole citizen, whom I hope is not you. This thread may contain occasional strong language. Now, if you're still interested in my rant that I have to get out of my system, read on.

Fuck the United States.
I'm sick of it. Things have just been getting worse and worse and I can't bottle this in any longer. There are several things ranging from personal annoyances to world scale mistakes, but all bug me equally.
First off, who the hell gives the US the right to meddle in other countries affairs? Who the hell gives the US the right to overthrow a government because they don't like the way it's being run? That's like those fuckers at the mall who want you arrested if you discipline your child.
I've seen Americans ask on here before why everyone hates their country, and most blame it all on jealousy. "We're so much better, stronger, smarter than all of you foreigners, you're just jealous of us." Riiiiighttt.............. Let me tell you why the world hates the US. The world hates the US because the US is both the school jock and the school bully at the same time, equaling one big pain in the ass. The jock is the epitome of self-righteousness and egotism.
No one is better than me, I'm the smartest, I'm the prettiest, I'm the richest. I get what I want because everyone else wants to be me, and if they don't, well I'll just unleash the bullies on them. The bully decides what and whom he likes and doesn't like, and does all in his power to make what he doesn't like miserable.
I don't like you. I don't like the way you smell. I don't like that pimple on your forehead. I'm gonna pummel you until you agree, and if you don't agree, I'll pummel you some more. One phrase that always sends me into a belly laugh is "We don't want these nukes falling into the wrong hands" or "We need to keep all the nukes so no one worse has control of them." Ha! There's the self-righteous egotistic jock. Other countries don't agree, they unleash the bully. "We must remove the weapons of mass destruction and make sure the country gets a new leader that conforms to the great American way of life." That is why the world hates the US.
My sister, for the past 5 or 6 years, has been attending a couple different colleges in Florida. There is this course relating to marine mammals that she so desperately wants to take. She has the marks, she signed up soon enough, and all her teachers like her and hope she can take the course. However, new anti-terrorism legislation might just make it so that she cannot take the course, because "International students will not be allowed to take a course not directly related to their field of study" (hers is zoology, pretty close if you ask me). Because of this, she might not be able to receive all the credits she needs and may not be able to graduate. After 6 fucking years!
Anti-terrorism. Well isn't that special. Canadian mail coming to and from Campobello Island, a part of New Brunswick, Canada, destined to other Canadian addresses is now under US scrutiny. Because of the island's location, the easiest mail route is through the tip of Maine. Despite originating in Canada and being destined for Canada, the mail is being opened and searched in Maine as part of the new "anti-terrorism" policies. Every time I go into the US I'm questioned and searched, and then get let in if they feel like it. In no time at all, not a single non-US citizen won't even be able to get in! Mail obviously can't get in or out either..."Hey guys lets make it so hard for anybody not from here to do any business with us that tourism drops 800% and all imports and exports cease!! Good thing we've got these new anti-terrorism measures!"
If a terrorist wanted in somehow I doubt he'd be stupid enough to drive across the border in a car full of bombs.
So, looks like we've got a jock & bully sort of country so bent on conforming, no, conquering the rest of the world to follow the American way of life and making sure not a single American dies (even though it's OK if 500,000 Middle Easterners do) that it's forgotten all about it's manners and the simple concept of politeness that it turns the entire world against it and it can no longer support it's economy, making the country crumble in under it's own weight.
I've tried to be "tolerant" (as seems to be so popular nowadays), but things have gone downhill so far that I will now just sit back and watch the downward spiral while muttering
"I told you so."
