I always hear people from other countries talking about how they want to move to America, espcially places like New York, to start a new life and I don't know why.

I'm from America, born and raised, but America is a terrorist nation. Whether or not people want to believe it, it's true.

America has done so many horrible things in its history and it's so obvious why other conuntries hate us.

One of the many things America did was bomb innocent people in Japan that had nothing to do with Pearl Harbor. That's so disgusting. We killed millions of innocent men, women and children that had absolutely nothing to do with Pearl Harbor at all. Also, we held innocent Japenese people in camps for absolutely no reason. The American government is no different than hitler.

Another one of the many things America did was go to Iraq and Afghanistan for no reason. That dictator bush said that we went there because of September 11th but those countries had absolutely nothing to do with September 11th. You would think that when September 11th happened, we would take the time to think about why it happened. Maybe we should have said to outserelves, "What did America do to deserve this?" But no, we had to go to all these different countries and kill innocent people.

Before anyone says the reason why other countries hate America is because America is "free", just stop. America is not free. It acts like it's this country where everyone is free, and everyone has rights, and unicorns fly around and everything is made of cotton candy, but it's not. Gay and Lesbian people are still not allowed to get married in this country and they don't have the same amount of rights as everyone else so I really wish America would stop acting like it's so free.

Racism and White privelege are also both very big problems in America. A racist, white supremacist like george zimmerman gets no jail time for murdering a young Black man like Trayvon Martin but a woman like Marissa Alexander, an African American woman goes to jail for firing warning shots against her abusive husband for 20 years? That's the definition of white privelege at it's worst.

So would you agree that America is a racist terrorst nation and this country isn't as good as some people think it is?

We are definitely a racist terrorist nation but people still want to come here because they think they will have more opportunity here than where they are from.In other words,they don't care that it's a racist terrorist country as long as they get whatever it is they are looking for.

Maybe we're backwards in some ways compared to other developed countries, but I don't buy the "white privilege" stuff. Not many countries have the ethnic, cultural, religious, and racial diversity that we have.

America is vastly overrated, and that's the reason why this country is sinking faster then the Titanic.

One of my history professors would certainly say Yes in response to this question.

Heck, when I first came to his class, he literally used the words "American terrorism" about twenty times, and this was just in my first day of class with him.

Even liberal Germany and liberal Italy do not have gay marriage. Liberal France and Liberal UK do not allow gay adoption.

If someone shoots a black person in self defense it makes them a racist white supremacist? News to me. I also didn't know that a Hispanic could be a white supremacist.

Now now lets stick to the agenda.... it's okay if they do it, it would only be bad if the United States didn't allow gay adoption.
