Sure, the US is a rather deficient country, but really, others are not much better, if at all. Most countries have skeletons in the closet. (Just think of Britain or France or Belgium and the mess they created in Africa.) And those that don't are usually simply too small to have any negative impact, not too decent or moral.

you jump all over the place on why you hate America, but don't strongly support any of the reasons you hate the US. As I read the rant, I felt it was coming from someone with a simplistic hate...not really understanding any issue. I'm not saying your hate is wrongly founded, just that you do not clearly state or support anything well.

Of course it's always been that way. Everybody wants to attack the big dog. Nobody cares when you're small potatoes.

It even happens on the individual level. Try and see the reaction in people when you start making a lot of money and it shows in your increased standard of living.

I would give the same advise on structure. You need to be constructive and have a clear mission instead of rambling. There are many sites online for help. Then I would say pick a topic. Most of your content deals with capitalism. Maybe show how bad effects of capitalism are America's downfall. Money over people, big business over social responsibility, etc. I think the basic idea will speak to a lot of people, it just needs a clean up and a clear arguable debate. It's great that you asked though, good start!
