americans

Well let's see,where should we start? Just so many reasons its hard to know where to start let alone where to end isn't it? Why don't we just run through the alphabet of national sins starting with abortion, Number of American abortions per year: 1.37...

much better than in the US? but Americans who have never lived in Canada say that Canadian health care is worse?

ride your bike somewhere nearby? When even your healthiest state (i.e. Colorado) can't keep it's obesity rate below 21%, you should probably put the car keys down. 40% of Urban trips in America are less than two miles. Based on my experiences, Americans are reluctant to travel even less than...

their bosses? Sounds limiting. In many other rich, free, capitalist nations, people get up to five weeks of vacation and do not rely on their employers for health insurance. How much traveling can you get done with only two weeks of vacation? Not enough time to see much of the world, is it...

Like really what has your country ever done to earn any respect? Your health care isnt free because you pay for it in taxes... and when your country grows to the size of ours you wont be able to have a socialist health care system because it will be too expensive

the Americans peoples rights.? Would you support states on needed legal action in matters. Would you allow groups that want to change the American way of life to their countries way of life. Would you do away with PC nonsense on trivial matters. Do you want to have government control of the...

Almost half of all Americans take at least one prescription drug, and now a new report tells us that more than 20% of us take at least one medication to treat a mental health problem--a number that is up 22% since 2001. It's an alarming trend for sure, and has us wondering: Are all of these...

I need input... I've been hearing a lot of non-Blacks discuss Herman Cain and a belief that Black people vote along color lines - they agree with Cain's speculation that he can pull 20-30% of the Black vote. I call BS. Colin Powell might steal some votes that would go to president Obama, but...

Weird question I know - am an Aussie and need to know the "translation". In Australia jumper cables are the cables your run from one car to another to recharge the battery so the motor will kick over with a flat battery. Is it the same name in the states?

I heard that Americans don't like British, Australian and New Zealand humor. Do you find this video funny at all? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nuoixSLVb9g I'm Australian and it's funny to me. That seems like something New Zealanders would like. WE Aussie like this...

Seriously this is so random...... Why do so many people have a bad view of Americans as a group of people? First I know this doesn't apply to everyone but I want to hear everyone's views. Here are some positives to the US. America is home to the largest diversity groups on the planet. You...
