10 AnswersJokes & Riddles1 decade agowhat is so great about the U.S.?
all my life I've heard how great our country is, after people return from being overseas......how we take things for granted here. And I was wondering what is it that everyone else is missing out of from not living in the U.S.??
I'm not putting down this country but I've just been curious to know since I've never visited a foreign country. The thought of being a citizen of another country doesn't seem so bad to me but what don't I know? What's wrong with Canada or anywhere in Europe, that they couldn't be proud of?

2 AnswersOther - Education1 decade agoDoes this stupidity happen to you?
Do you ever have co workers who act like total jackwagons to you, and ignore you when you ask a question or you make a comment, but act normal to everyone else? It's like they act like they hate you whenever you ask a question or engage in some way, and you're stumped as to what you did to bring on the discrimination. All you want to do is just get along man.
I try to act normal and pretend everything is fine, or I make light of it and make a joke, or even best of all, I actually show the humility to (talk) face to face with them and ask civil "what am I doing wrong, or what can I do better or what's wrong, are you ok?" or I tell them how uncomfortable they make me feel. It still won't change anything though.
I don't know if it's maybe because I'm sometimes forgetful with my task juggling. It's a lot of prioritizing and I want to get everything done and, most important, I convey through my attitude, that I want to make EVERYONE happy. It just sucks when people would rather be complete jerkys instead of talking out issues and compromising. Does this happen at your jobs too?? Do they treat you like crap without motive, apology and/or answers??? WTF
8 AnswersEtiquette1 decade agohave you ever felt ashamed of your race?
Being a white person, I have always felt a guilt being a white man because of all the racial injustices we've caused in the 1960's as well as our behavior towards the indigenous people in the late 1800's. We are such a selfish race! I feel wrong to feel this way but I can't ignore my sympathies either. Am I wrong to feel this shame??

Why don't we have our stuff made in Mexico, (instead of China) so it can help THEIR economy and also our economy (cheaper to buy since it won't have to be exported as far)? The allure of the drug trade wouldn't be as tempting to some since we could create jobs to build a sense of pride for their country and also, a better decorum all around. Why is everything made in China, of all countries??
