I'm not American, but I live in the U.S.
I wouldn't say America is trash, but the some people are. That is why I cannot wait to earn enough money to move the **** out of here, and move somewhere in Europe.

The device you are using to post this, the clothes that you are wearing, your shoes, your shampoo, your TV, the condoms, the furniture, the appliances, that light bulb, your vibrator are all made in China, If they ever stop from manufacturing stuff, we'd be in deep ****. And Amercia has a giant debt to China too.

I hope you recognize, that this means China is dependent on the US. The US is China's biggest customer, we're fueling their growth. And you know their is a growing sentiment to have and buy American goods. So in the end, if anything happens to America China will be in pain. If America decides to do anything on its own, China will be in pain. Also, a lot of goods are made in America, you just don't realize it. Like the food on your plate, the car you drive, and in many cases the clothes you wear. The vital things are made here, the accessories over in China.

And,how exactly? America needed China and had a big ass debt. It's quite the opposite.
And lol at vital things, any country makes vital things, all countries have agriculture: we get oranges from Jordan, for example. Most of our food or meat is locally produced. And my car could come from Brazil, Russia, Japan or even Argentina. My clothes come from Syria or Egypt. And the rest probably is from China.
America ain't **** and is deffo not as independant as y'all make it out to be. If it was, it wouldn't collect debt from Europe or China. China basically rules the world, and Europe is almost a sole country.

My opinion of the United States is both good and bad. Nothing against the people, although the majority of them seem really uneducated (and I'm sure that is not true). As for the government and the way that the country as whole conducts itself, it's quite sad and what is worse is that the population of America don't know any different and accept it.
I'm not going to go into details because I don't wish to offend anyone and I actually love America

Yeah, Brazil hates the States but according to the trending topics on Twitter, Brazilians are ALWAYS the ones hoping for artists to come to their country so the #1 prize for greed goes to Brazil.

Don't do that, sis. Most Europeans are looking to move the **** out of here too. Europe is just asking for a huge financial meltdown, better to  outta here before it all implodes.

China doesn't rule the world, not country does. Country may be influential, but it can't rule the world.
NO COUNTRY is independent, there is a thing called globalization (look it up). Every country depends on the next, your country will suffer if it had to do everything on its own. And every country has debt.
Also, if you go by power. America still is, culturally. I mean, who has the most listened to music, most watched movies. I bet you at least a quarter to half of the artist you listen to are American, and the same with movies. And militarily, America is still the most powerful. The strength of the military is untouched. Those two things make America the most powerful.
And according to Last.fm you seem to be sucked into American culture.

I think Americans are very isolated and don't know anything about the world. The ignorance that is spewed on news articles and YouTube videos prove it. I think Americans should look further than their own borders.  Also, I think it's funny how America is the land of the free & liberal, when gay marriage isn't even legalized and homophobia and bullying are huge problems. |
Agree with this, as an American what makes it worse is when you have ignorant people at the level of a 3rd world country yet they are at a better position to know more with scientific evidence and all. Especially if you look at a Scandinavian countries plus even Canada . Its more like we are over-rated.

Huh? The US is the most influential, and has been since the 1940s. You do know that America is the only superpower. Which means its the most powerful in influence and political affairs. Even when America is called the world police officer, its because its the most influential. China hasn't reached that level. It can't even touch the US in military strength. In fact the second most influential entity is the EU.
How about you open a book, and learn about global politics.

Ummmm.. i see lies.China has a different route which is more economical and silent,if they abruptly decided to unleash their power they would subdue us. America is more into other countries affairs and in the end, what's it doing to our economy? SIS, if we don't watch out we are tanking.
One more thing, you need to learn more about China.

China has a population of 1 billion. It is bound to be a superpower. The only thing blocking it is time. **** military strength when you have numbers. In certain ways, Quantity>Quality. And sure every country is in debt and mine is drowning in them, we have taxes on taxes but at least we admit it. America is sure influential yet it's negative. They are for freedom and peace yet treat prisoners like animals and start whole wars because one person. Ignorance is unforgivable and y'all sure have loads of it.
And lol at you telling me to read a book when you don't know **** about China and how much of a force it is becoming.

And China is no different? The people there have no freedom, and when people have no freedom they will revolt. And not always, quality is always better. And even then America has the largest navy and airforce. The have enough nukes to remove China from the planet, and the rest of Asia too.
And you say ignorance, I'm sure there are ignorant people in your country. But do they represent your country, no. Do I consider you a certain way by the stereotypes painted in the media of your people. No I don't, because I know you not all of you guys are radicals (nicest way to say it).
India has a population over a little over a billion, are they a superpower too?

English is the world language, like are you even speaking Chinese on this site right now? English is the language of business, and the most spoken 2nd language. If anything the next world language is Spanish. And Chinese will be more complicated for other reasons too.

They won't revolt, these 1 billion people are too scared of their country. That says a lot of its power. Actually China has nuke too, don't act as it's a defenceless country. It can also easily rase America, so does Russia, they aren't just as public and anal about it.
My country has a sutface of 10,452 square km, and a population of 4 million. A large portion of it is ignorant, but when you put 2 million,against 200 million, you're bound to lose.
And India has nothing to do with this, China is an organized country and a really powerful one, they have their **** together and know what they are doing.
