i wnat to know what people all over the world think about the United States

I live in the United States of America. I love this place, but I don't think it is the best place on the planet. There is LOTS of crime and poverty in different states and places, so it's really just like any other place on this planet. I like a lot of things about America, but I also hate a lot of things about the people. People here can be so naive and rude most of the time. I also don't agree with the way a lot of us think. It can be like that anywhere though.

in europe the people think that american people is fat and ignorant but is not a my opinion i never been in USA i'm a italian kid and i konw that for the poeople all over the world Italy is "pizza and Mafia" ;_;

The USA was the best place on the planet immediately after Exercise WWII. The American people have always been a kind, generous, God-fearing lot. And in my opinion, they still are. But the USA has gone on a big slide over the last few decades. It might be an inevitability of the life cycle of an Empire - this sort of rise and fall has happened with just about every other great Empire the world has seen. Anyway, despite the television sitcoms giving the viewer that all Americans are millionaires and live in mansions with the best cars and everything, we know that's really not the case. Americans generally have about the same lifestyle as anyone else in the Western world, and I know from the Internet that a LOT of Americans are having a real hard time economically just now. Here's the problem that I can see - the USA WAS once the greatest country in the world - no matter what criteria you used to make that judgement. Those days are well past us now, but it appears to me that the USA is in denial. The government has been hijacked by a bunch of war-mongering fascists (ie, run by the big money corporate interests for profit above all else). And I could be wrong, but it also seems to me that the American population has been enveloped by the mists of a controlled media, so they only get to see and believe what their friendly government controllers WANT them to. Pretty much all the real manufacturing and technology has been outsourced to other countries now, so the US economy is largely floating on smoke and mirrors. Has anyone noticed the explosion of pyramid schemes on the Internet lately, all disguised as legitimate "businesses" and all promising huge wealth for doing nothing? A canary in the coal mine, I suspect. Americans are kind and generous people, but unfortunately also very naive and ill-informed about the rest of the world, and even about what's going on in their own country. But as I suggested before, all these things might be unavoidable elements of the life cycle of Empire.

i think US is one of the best countries. they have a good economy, a successful country and the people are disciplied compared to my country when it comes to following traffic rules or littering in the right place. but US is not a perfect country there are still things that you will not like about this country. but still i appreciate this country for being a first world country.

The country is a good place but the attitude of the leaders are wrong thinking that they are superior in every thing others are their slave and other should ask what to do and every thing should not be done without their permission.am very sad to say that

Hi! I am from Holland and we live in a ango/american sociéty. when we watch television or listen to the radio, their is america? clothing of people are often american style and shops and stores have often englisch names. And that is O.K. But we never had getto's and they are rising fast. I am sorry but that is no good example that America gives.

in my opinion, USA is very big and power country in this world. The economic fundation is stabil so it being the basic of world economic. Most of people is a good one and love in peace not war. And they also disagree with their president to make war inorderto fight terorism :)

its a cheap country to live in, with too many fat people, the president is as dumb as a monkey and yet the special forces can kill anyone on the planet within 60 seconds. They start strange wars in Middle Eastern countries for the hell of it, then start buying supermarket chains in other countries with their huge multinational coorperations, and then McDonalds sues someone again...its the American way

unisye land,i like that,

well i think USA is the best to find work. here in my country it is hard to work and earn good if u dont graduate in college which is not good.

i alwayr thought that United States is a beautiful place to be. i thought that we could really make money there. we being Indians are carried away by the fact that Dollars are more fascinating and we cuold lead a comfortable life for the rest of our lives. also we thought that we could make a fortune and come back to our country. is it true??? can we make a career in States so easily if we are qualified??? please post your comment.

some things it is bad,some things it is good.

america is pace to work for but not to live in

Its the place where everyone wants to be these days, if it was possible to go there for everyone then 99% of worlds population will be living in USA. strange... funny... but so true...

I love the USA! I'm a proud American. Now would I call the USA the best country around, I've only been here and Japan, and I loved Japan too, so I think it's what you make of any place you go to.

My opinion is that US is a powerfull country at all chaptors. But my "but" is that US sometimes make abuse of power.

my perception of usa is the most powerful country.but i think it harmed lot of muslims so they became worst in the mind and views of others. People are also liberated like te girls i think there lots of women to be with in there...

we are just like any other country. with good an bad people in the gov.we have poor people an rich people an the middle class people..an we do have our freedom! I would not live anywere else.thank god for the usa!

everything in this world is not perfect.we all know that usa is onek of the greatest country in this world.So there must have something special which helps them to take the best place ever.Mainly the people who lives there are hardworker.they work very hard and they earn money.they love hteir country.they are disciplined.But if ther try to concern about huminity and antiwar and not killing people.then they can get the good response from people

To me, USA is a powerful country because it can start the Iraq war to get things straight for the world. Usually, the whites* are very rich whereas the blacks* are not so. (*Sorry if these are not the right terms to use).It is the leader of modern technology. Human rights is very much talked about in the country.
