Honestly I don't care what RaiArashi thinks of americans nor do I see why any of you would. I think most americans are dumb, ignorant, overly aggressive, brainwashed, self-centered, lazy assholes. Being an american I personally cannot say I lack all of these traits but those of us here, with the exception of some (here's looking at you Lightning), are not the typical americans I or anyone else here is speaking of so there's no reason to be personally offended or feel overly responsible for the actions of our countrymen or the general state of affairs in our country. It's a rigged system that makes the rich get richer and more powerful while everyone else gets less...well less everything. It's set up in a fashion that prevents major changes unless fat stacks of cash are backing them up and that silences or marginalizes those of us who would attempt to force change in any way that doesn't revolve around money.
Also I'm pleased to note that people are realizing what I've known about Waar the whole time. Though I think people could have done it with less brown-nosing. Like his ego isn't already two stories tall.
I really don't think most American's are that way. Misguided by the media? Yes. Lazy? Yes. But I don't believe the majority is self-centered, overly aggressive assholes, I really don't.
I do agree on the fact that it is a rigged system, that rich get richer while the poor cannot even aim for the good life. They can only struggle to survive in society and hope they can pay off the next credit card bill. It's mostly because the outsourcing of jobs to China and India. I'm not saying that is bad, but that takes away a lot of job opportunities in America and that is bad.
I don't think your helping saying his "ego" is two stories tall... XD

In America the voting public are the sheep. They go where ever the shepherd (media) tells them to go. The average American or as I prefer average idiot doesn't do any research on the candidate they are supporting. Most support by a party basis. "He's republican I'm a republican he's got my vote,etc". They don't check voting records, look into the groups they have supported or receive support from, or check the laws they have tried to pass or signed onto. Because of the ignorance they have about something so important is why I consider a majority of my fellow Americans to be idiots.
I agree. The media has way too much inflence on America. Considering your first post, I really don't see why Americans would want to believe in those false promises. I also think that is not the only issue anymore. I think it's become a battle of political parties as you said above. Sometimes people might vote the other way just because they don't want the other to win just because they don't want the other guy to win without really considering who they are voting for.
