....and the USA is a crumbling oligarchy to boot.

The USA has always been a rogue state and is fast becoming a failed rogue state.

Most of the US population is armed, paranoid, hateful and constantly drenched with propaganda and fear.

And when the curtains of economic death falls upon the fragile and selfish individualistic social structures, there will be nowhere to hide. The streets will be filled with the blood of its people who will kill themselves because of the decades long brain washing of US world superiority and its cruel corporate welfare programs that value the concentration of wealth and power over the human rights of people.

The USA is not a decent society - it's cruel and morally corrupt, both internally and with its criminal foreign policy agenda.

THAT'S WHY THE USA IS THE MOST HATED NATION ON EARTH!

you live in australia and youre talking about corruption? how would you know the first thing about it? ever live in a corrupt country? my neighbor had her four sons shot in front of her at 2 in the morning because they were speaking against the government. my family was dragged out of the house during weekly raids because they were searching for "weapons and illegal contraband" because my grandfather was in the military and denounced communism.

i hear all kinds of dumb a*ses talking about how the US is so corrupt.. if only they lived a week in a corrupt country.

maybe you should open your eyes and appreciate what you have becaue god help you if you have to live in real corruption. you would probably hang yourself within a year..

of course power is concentrated in a small segment of the population.
every civilization EVER has been like that.
so if that truly makes us an oligarchy, then who cares, everyone is.
unless power can some how be distributed equally 300million ways,
there's gonna be a small number in charge.

it's not brainwashing,
we are the best.
we're the most hated country in the world because 95% of the world lives in a country that is clearly not the best.
and every day these people are reminded that the US is the best,
and all their country can hope to achieve is 2nd best.
we're not crumbling.
we could be reduced to half our strength (military, economic, political),
and still be the best country on earth.
nay ..... in the entire known universe.

when i someday rule the world,
i promise not to hold your remarks against your countrymen.

Hey, how are those aboriginies doing over there?

MOD EDIT: Personal attack deleted.
This country does have it's issues but i don't forsee it's people killing each other in the streets. We are a nation of laws, some of which are a little screwed up but none the less we don't go around killing each other. I think the reason you say the things you say about the US is because your jealous that you were not fortunate enough to be born here. I understand, if i were born in Aulstralia i would want to live in America as well. I think you are taking the views of the few radical far left people that want this country to fail (and the French people). You need to read more than what the liberals are writing and read more from the right. This way you get a better prespective of where the rest of us are. This is the greatest country in the world, thats why everyone wants to come here more than any other country. No one wants to go to Australia, not even for vacation.

The US is without doubt democratic only in the formal sense. In other words, it is only democratic in FORM rather than OUTCOME. What matters, is not necessarily the form with which democracy takes but whether democracy is arrived at in terms of outcome. Very few people in the US would posit that Cuba is a democratic state, and in terms of form, one could reasonably argue that this is true. However, the over-riding concern for most Cuban's is not that they have a formal democracy in that they vote once every 4 or 5 years, but rather whether they have a democratic outcome. Given that Cuba has a developed health service free at the point of delivery, more medical doctors per head of the population then anywhere else on earth and a 100 per cent literacy rate, Cuban's on the whole are likely to argue that their 'democracy' works for them rather than for the benefit of the oligarchs as is the case with the US.

By contrast, Zimbabwe, for example, is democratic in form - in that its democratic structures are modelled on its British colonial master. But few people would rightly describe Zimbabwe as a democracy in terms of outcome, as all those oppressed by their tyrannical leader would undoubtably testify. The US is an oligarchy, not a democracy in the sense that a country like Cuba is. Neither is it a democracy in the Zimbabwean sense. What the US is though, is an oligarchy. Noam Chomsky's has accurately nailed the US when he described it as "a single-ideological state with competing political factions".

They're still running around in loincloths, eating bats and dancing around campfires.

I've seen 'Crocodile Dundee' [parts 1 and 2].....

Blacks are stupid regardless of which continent they happen to have washed ashore upon.

Apparently their IQ [the aboriginies] is around 35 points lower than the average European as well. Being trapped on that rock for millenia and not having to compete really wasn't a good thing for them when the Brits came charging in.
