Top 10 Words to Describe the United States

Obviously, America is misunderstood because I read through every single comment, and some of these people are so negative towards America!

America is just like anywhere else (pretty much), except we're called Americans and we have a democracy. We have good things and bad things, just like Japan, France, Spain, Canada, and anywhere else.

So, instead of everyone talking badly about America to make themselves feel better, look at yourself and your country and think: are we perfect with no flaws at all? Yep, that's what I thought.

I'm sorry for ranting, but I have to get back to my homework, so bye.

Honestly, we have been through so much, yet we still stand tall. With Trump as president, we need to be united as one revolutionary country.

Now is not the time to play the he-said-she-said game. Now is the time to be Americans!

What? What country invented both Apple and Windows, which are the best electronics companies in the world?!

We, as a country, declared our independence against one of the most powerful armies and countries during the Revolutionary era. We should be proud to live in a strong country and have our own rights and freedom.

Number one military and the world's sole superpower.

Tragic earthquake in Nepal YESTERDAY. India will have its teams there first as they are by far the closest. The US has more sophisticated rescue equipment already on the way and is already leading the financial aid effort.

Before that, pick your disaster: the Philippine hurricane, the Indonesian tsunami. The US gave much more time, effort, personnel, equipment, and money than wherever you live.

America gives so much to other nations, for example, Africa. Even though they can't really pay us back or trade with us, we continue to give because, as Americans, we have the opportunity to give and keep giving.

Man, this is the best word to describe these guys. As PetSounds said, your stereotypical American is extremely prevalent compared to the small amount of nice, kind, and civilized individuals. These stereotypes are true, so for any intelligent and sane foreigners out there, if you want to save some brain cells, don't visit the U.S. Any good person will know that this joke of a country is full of idiots.

The people that I met on my last visit to California were actually very polite and did a lot to make my family feel welcome there. There are some parts of Britain that don't have this virtue. Forgive my smugness, but a few of them openly said they loved the accent!

You can propose a bill anytime you want to. You can vote on your representatives and senators, and you can vote for the president. So, everyone who passes the actual bill should be someone you're okay with, at least the greater of two evils.

Why do you need to see the bills? You have representation. We barely pass any regardless, and that's because we can no longer agree on anything.

It could be better, but we act as if our government is much worse than it actually is. At least we're a democracy. And yes, we really are a democracy!

Almost all the kids in the schools I have been at are not fat or obese. Most of them are a normal size or underweight. Barely any people even try to be skinny, and they still eat their full share of food.

A third of the U.S. population is obese. Compared to other developed countries, that is pretty embarrassing...

The United States is known for its fast food and being unhealthy.

Yeah, the people are large...

Wait, you meant the size of the country itself!?

As well as Canada. This word describes a lot of Americans as well.

No one is perfect, especially us in America. We do many things wrong. But guess what? Everyone makes mistakes.

There's no doubt we're not perfect. Every country has its flaws, even America.

No country is perfect, but America is a really great place nonetheless.

The government should control what people eat and how much they eat.

This is especially true for our lack of free healthcare.

This is a lie. Not everyone is unhealthy in America.

Obama is great, yet people seem to lack political enlightenment. How can Obama pass any law if it can't get to his desk?!

Unlike progressive America, our political parties in the House and Senate go head-to-head with each other, forgetting that compromise is key to success. However, everyone now seems to seek their own interests in America, even America itself.

(I'll blame your government teachers and the media bias which induces ignorance.)

To the person who said he tore up a Bible, it's offends, not affends. By the way, I'm a Christian too, but other than that, I liked Obama.

The NSA spies on people who almost always deserve it. Far greater privacy violations are committed 24/7 by Google, your bank, your school, and just about every software company.

I would not be a bit surprised if TTT is doing loads of illegal tracking too.

Do you have any idea how painful and sad it was to fight for our freedom for centuries? Freedom isn't easy to earn, but we don't give up.

Google, MSN, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest, Twitter, etc., all track, log, and record everything that everybody in every country does. Get used to it!

Even if Switzerland allowed firearms, it wouldn't have a higher death rate than before.

Wait, actually, Switzerland has allowed firearms, and the death rate in terms of death by firearms is almost zero.

Wrong again. True, there is a higher per-capita firearm homicide rate than Eurozone countries, but outside of the inner cities, the US is one of the safest places in the world.

For overall crime, the USA is only #22, with Canada at #10 and the UK at #4. Iceland is #1, but perhaps they get stir-crazy being cooped up indoors most of the year.

For violent rape, the USA is lower than Belgium and New Zealand among others and is not even half the rate of Sweden.

Well, duh! It's in the name of the country.

Are you serious? America is not very corrupt! If you think America is corrupt, look at North Korea, which is run as a dictatorship, Somalia, which struggles to maintain an active government, or Afghanistan, struggling because of war.

America's government is corrupt. We are no longer free. Soon we will be a democracy. We were supposed to be a Constitutional Republic, but nobody cares about the Constitution anymore.

A free-spirited and extremely diverse nation which raises free individuals. The problems America encounters are not so much as the problems humans generally have.

Um, hello? Our country was made by different groups of people coming together, and you're saying we aren't diverse? Do you know what the word diverse means?

I think America is very diverse and getting more so. Also, I have never met a racist person in the US, and I live in America and am proud of it.

I think America is highly successful. To build ourselves up from nothing through hardships and become a strong, fairly wealthy country that can provide for and protect its people is impressive.

Americas culture is shameful & humiliating, the culturelessness is the reason America isn't considered a democracy, I am my own prophet & everyone has failed me, your neighbor rather be your enemy, America is behind the rest of the world. I've visited China & the people in China are the saniest people you will ever meet but meeting Americans you have to wear knives & guns on you & people will scapegoat you by emptying your bank accounts & cover it all up & lie to courts by buying everyone out & doing everyone dirty, if any foreigners are debating on moving to America for the love of god & for the love christ never set foot in this country because America is economically imploding & the economy in China is more secure than America, China is the safest country in the world & China is cleaning itself up & the air in China is cleaner than Americas, in America you are more likely to be hunted by your neighbors than any other country while in China people never hunt you down for some Chinese people have more than one belief system culturally, if you migrate to America I suggest you have a small pool of family & friends & nothing more beyond that for some people you will befriend will take your inheritance & commit state federal levels of crime & violence without speaking to you ever again. the culturelessness of America is worth buying 50 thousand dollars worth of defense & security or more, no matter which state you settle in people will maliciously attack you & maliciously hunt you, even your girlfriend & boyfriend will blindside you & join biker gangs who have bounties on them, people in America will dog you out & smoke you out & join the most dangerous gangs in each state, in America people & gangs buy people out for lust & money & nothing more & the divorce rate is climbing higher each year & peaceful communities in America aren't safe so get yourself a tank if you can afford it
