They have an economic system that is based on the US economic system. And not to mention that their citizens are so poor that they can't even buy the American products they make. That's not a superpower.
And with this globalization America may just be the last until the world is equalized but that will be years from now. Maybe not in our lifetime.

It's a fact. Under 250,000 live in Qatar AND it's a monarchy sooo, I mean a constiutional monarchy but still.
And it's people like you that when you don't like what an American says, you make it reflect on all of them, showing that you, yes you, are not a forward thinker. You are prejudice.

It could be anger because they lost almost all of it.

We're like Katy Perry.
We sell millions of singles, then people hate us. Eventually we slip up on something though, just like PRISM's first week sales.
But then we have a smash era like Teenage Dream that gets us compared to legends. Just as the US is compared to the Roman Empire.
When all is said and done, we have this perfect pop star/world leader image, and the pressed countries want us to fall, but we just don't. Just like the Monsters and Katy.
And then of course we have our allies like the Navy/Europe. They also make mistakes, and we have to comment on it and make up for it. Like when Rih got back together with Chris and Katy said people should be allowed to be with who they want.

I didn't say you guys had it bad. The US is still a good country. Canada is just a better place to live imo.

In terms of Crime and Bankruptcy,America is a more populated ,so it's more prone to things like that.Bankruptcy is irrelevant because that's a local thing that is caused by flawed local governemnt or a mass migration. (Detroit for example).

How the hell is 'america the richest country' when you even have to pay for your own medical issues. Norway for example going to the dentist is free etc.

That has nothing to do with the amount of money a country. "universal healthcare" is a very communist idea anyway sooo

Ask Hiroshima.
US is really like the devil, is sad that you can't see it cuz you only look at yourself. I could argue more but my English is pretty basic compared to my thoughts
P.S.: freedom? You can't marry if you're gay, you can't have a secure abortion, you can't access to the Health System if you're poor, you can't carry marijuana legally. My country can, and you don't even know it exists LOL

No, I don't see it because all you people look at is the bad when there is just as much good the US has done for the World. People are having a hard time admitting it though.
My problem is that people generalize the whole country and it;s people based on things they heard, which is dumb. Y'all are no better.

You can gay marry in 14 of 50 states.
You can have an abortion
If you're poor, you get Medi-Cal, which is health care.
You can get a license from your doctor to carry marijuana, anyone can.
