I mean today's society as a whole, not just a certain country's. Personally, I think that in a couple years Earth will be pretty much filled with apathy, morons, and liars. Especially people who have large influence over the governments of Earth's nations. All I know is, we're headed nowhere good.

I figure we're rather amusing to watch from afar.

"America is the most greedy… country in the world."

Oh yes, we're so greedy. That's why we contribute billions in foreign aid, have numerous charities and we continue to contribute millions to the UN even though we don't really get anything out of it.

"There, I said it. The only continent/country that helped us with the 'war' was Australia."

You’re wrong. The US had multiple countries allied with it when it invaded Iraq. The UK, Poland, South Korea, Spain, Japan, and others joined the US in its War in Iraq.

With that said, the majority of people worldwide opposed the war in Iraq, and there is a lot of pressure in countries to pull out.

“How pathetic. Out allies backed out.”

If they backed out, I question the degree they were our allies to begin with. Of course, the whole reason countries ally with one another is because they have a stake in something. A country like had no real reason to invade Iraq whatsoever. Although France and many nations with in the UN definitely had real financial and political reasons for not invading Iraq (i.e. Oil for food scandal):

I don't like how the US is looking now, and I don't like the image I get of what it might look like in 10 to 20 years. The US is like a picked on outcast, but with much more power than any of the countries picking on it. And a union of the countries who were our allies previous to the "war" would definitely give the US quite some competition. However, I can't blame the countries for joining us in the war, they might not have seen a reason to, and many American citizens don't either. The only person who knows the truth to why we initiated war, is Bush. And other than that, maybe some people in high places, but otherwise, not us. Also, I think that there is no real unison between our people. We're only brought together by money and power, opinions are either always argued, agreed to, or ignored. And action plans are never begun, the few intelligent people left always come up with new ways to make our nation better, but they're ignored.

i personally feel that man doesn;t stand by his convictions and he cannot reatin at least a decent bit f honesty in his life..poeple are highly pretentitious, they are just not themselves..they change according to the situation and are very diplomatic..
people are very selfcentred, their world revolves just round themselves...
people judge other people way too much by thier looks, whihc should be the last criterion..
people are also becoming artificial by the day..
well it goes,on

I can't judge any other country but my own. I don't know what other countries are like. So you know. I don't want to be stereotypical.

America is the most greedy, hated, fatest country in the world. There, I said it. The only continent/country that helped us with the 'war' was Australia. How pathetic. Out allies backed out. Canada is probably the most peaceful place in the world. But, I'm sure they have their own problems.
