B_ridgette Bracelet King	3 years, 8 months ago by B_ridgette To all the non Americans out there, what does the rest of the world view of us? Like how do people where you live see us? I’m genuinely curious because there are so many people who say America is the best and all that bust it’s not, so like how does it look on the outside. lol
Jdog12525 Bracelet King	3 years, 8 months ago by Jdog12525 As an American, I used to disagree when non-Americans would say that the country is horrible, dangerous, etc... But now I see why they say those things. Honestly I just want to pack my bags and move back to the motherland of Great Britain.
amazingme Bracelet King	3 years, 8 months ago by amazingme As a former non-American (does that count???) I thought that you guys were exceptionally loud, made amazing movies, and had a unhealthy obsession with PB&J (have yet to meet any foreigners that eat peanut butter and jelly sandwiches) 😂 but I love it here, especially Texas.
halokiwi Moderator	3 years, 7 months ago by halokiwi I'm non-American. There's parts of the USA that I like and others that I don't but I think people in general have different things they like and dislike about the US. I think it is cool that you have so many national parks and that the landscape varies so much in different parts of the states. But there's a lot of things I don't like/that confuse me - that many Americans are so patriotic. I'm German and here people are not very proud of our country for obvious reasons so it's weird to see a country where everyone is so proud of it. - that you have the right to carry a gun. There are so many shootings and the "easiest" way would probably to forbid people from owning guns or to control it better but lots of people don't want that. Also guns in supermarkets are very odd. - your healthcare system - your political system (I won't go deeper into this)

halokiwi Moderator	3 years, 7 months ago by halokiwi @amazingme I'm not American and I love peanut butter and jelly 😄 I would not say I'm obsessed with it now but there were times when I ate it every morning for breakfast when I was younger
B_ridgette Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by B_ridgette @halokiwi I agree. There hae been a few recent shootings, and its so sad and frustrating that people won't address the real issue. Its also crazy that people have access to military grade weapons. And our healthcare systems is sooo bad. And the same with our politics(but lets not go into that) But the national parks are pretty cool. @amazingme 😂 i mean, I haven't met many people who don't like pb&j
crafter83 Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by crafter83 Yeah, the whole “God Bless America” and “Proud American” is very weird. Because most people who support “God Bless America” are probably not even real Christians( like they are only in name)
B_ridgette Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by B_ridgette @crafter83 yes! I agree wholeheartedly
CakeCup Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by CakeCup @halokiwi I lived in Munich for about 3-4 months a few years ago. I don't know if it was just me being a tourist or what, but Germany is such an amazing place! I loved the Christmas markets! Those were so fun. @amazingme I am American and i dislike PB & J. After my trip to Europe (relating to the thing above) i tried rlly hard not to eat any PB & J whenever i could help it for about 1 year. I ate way to much PB & J in the 5 total months i lived in Britan and Europe... 😅
naiyah Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by naiyah Hi I am American but I have never lived there before! I have lived in the Caribbean my whole life! I feel like I DEFINITELY view things differently from amreicans.
swim_girl Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by swim_girl Hiii as an American yes I am proud of my country but over the last few years I've been less and less proud lol. @halokiwi I absolutely LOVE our movies tho 😂 😂you were right on with that one. but anyways, it kind of makes me sad that the people who think America isn't safe to be anymore are starting to be right. 😭 I love it here but at the same time it's kind of embarrassing what we have gotten ourselves into in the past.

swim_girl Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by swim_girl oops meant to tag @amazingme

Idkkkkk Advanced	3 years, 7 months ago by Idkkkkk i’m from norway and i’ve lived here my whole life. I’m jealous of the people living in America sometimes. But in the end, i’m happy i live in norway and not america. If you live in norway and is one of the 97% (iykyk), and report it to the police, they won’t help you. They won’t press charges on the one who did it because you don’t have “enough” evidence. So therefore, the 97%’ers don’t report it. Even if you have text message evidence, if you take a liar test, if you go to the hospital and take the "kit". They won’t press charges. No matter what. So people don’t report it here, and the ones who do report it, gets ditched. CPS is HORRIBLE too. Everything is expensive. Say if you’re an american ordering a toothbrush for 1$. the toothbrush and shipping together costs like idk 3$. But if i were to order a toothbrush from amazon, it would cost me 20$. Sure the toothbrush itself can cost 1$. But our government don’t want us to buy things from outside of norway, so shipping would cost more than the toothbrush. You can’t really order something unless it’s on a “proven” list. I’m just guessing here, but if a bag of chips for 2$ in america is expensive, you haven’t seen the prices here. A party sized bag of chips is probably 2$ there. But a bag of chips for 2$ in norway is cheap. And even when it’s 2$, the bag is really small and half of the bag is air. Therefore, i always stick to eating pringles as chips. It’s 3$ but half of it is not air, they are big and the taste is delicious. Like the new lady gaga oreo, we have it. But we just have the packaging for a more expensive price. It’s just normal oreos in a lady gaga oreo packaging for more expensive money. That’s just a few bad things. We have a lot of good things to. I can mention them if you WANT. I’m not gonna write them here cuz the message is starting to get long. Anyways. I see america as a “business” country. Everything is money. They make food with bad ingredients so people get sick and need to pay a lot of money to BUY medicine. Doctors take unnecessary tests, medication, operations etc to make money. Like “oh you have acne and want some medication for it? let’s take ur blood and an x-ray. Also you should see a skin doctor.” And then you end up wasting a lot of money when all you needed was some birth control pills to regulate ur hormones. That’s just an example. It’s probably not like that doe but that’s how i see it. Also, let’s talk about the food and cosmetics. Like what the actual bleep. ORANGE cheese? ORANGE cheese on a spray bottle? like what❤️ And also chips in the taste of hamburger? ARE YALL GOOD? DO WE ACTUALLY NEED TO CALL AN AMBULANCE. No just kidding. But really. How do y’all think rainbow cereal for breakfast everyday is healthy? or pancakes? and the worst, when y’all eat bread. What makes you think WHITE bread with avocado/peanut butter/jelly etc is healthy? 😭 And WHY do y’all eat takeaway so often? the things you are eating is not good at all. Most of the ingredients y’all have in ALL of ur food, is forbidden in europe because it’s so dangerous and unhealthy. The politics and rules you have is also so messed up and not to mention, dangerous. Who even thought protecting yourself with gun in your house was a good thing? we can all see what it lead to. There’s SO much more than a gun you can do that is safer and better. And last but not least, shoes inside the house. That’s just a no. Just don’t do that. Absolutely no. Just stop
PotatoPeel Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by PotatoPeel I feel like the "U.S" is a bit too proud and patriotic, they feel themselves better and superior to others, they think they are the best and blah blah blah like um im canadian i live in north america why cant i call myself american? Why did you reserve that term just for yourself? Many people probably dont agree lol. And also like ban guns it seriously has to stop. Protection? It seems to be hurting more people than it protects them honestly. Also your health care is kinda badddd However, the landscapes in the u.s must be so pretty. The culture in there seems peculiar in a good way, like if i want to know more because of its bizarre yet fascinating culture.
PotatoPeel Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by PotatoPeel @idkkkk longest comment ever haha i read it all ❤️

llama1013 Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by llama1013 @Idkkkkk although most of what you said concerns serious issues, I found that very entertaining 😂 I’m American but I agree with you on food, healthcare, and politics/laws (though I don't want to debate, I don't even think that's allowed here). I often feel tired and out of shape because I tend to eat whatever is available to me, it's so so hard (and expensive!) to eat even decently healthy here. healthcare is so annoying because everything is so expensive, and you have to pay so much to even figure out how you might be sick or whatever. also i hate the extreme pride in America, like 🙄. and the shoes inside the house bit, oh my word I can't stop laughing. I wish my family didn't allow shoes inside
CakeCup Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by CakeCup @Idkkkkk Tbh, i believe it just where you live and who you are working with that change and are those factors. Like my parents do not allow us to were shoes in the house. That is a no no. Also, my family, my mom make most of our meals. We rarly ever go out for food, wether it is fast food, ice cream or whatever.
GenMalucci Bracelet King	3 years, 7 months ago by GenMalucci So, I’m American, but only because I was born in the United States, I’m polish, and German for the most part! America has resorted to eating trash because it’s cheap. I see Americans pass the slightly more expensive but HEALTHY food to go to the chip isle, and it’s disgusting. I personally am half blessed with the fact that my body can’t take in a lot of trash food, if at all. I usually eat some granola or yogurt in the morning and then don’t eat until dinner. And even then I don’t eat much. So I think of myself as healthy, but when I lived in Italy I was much healthier. Guns: dang y’all, this is going to offend some folks so don’t come after me. The places that have the most shootings have the highest gun death rate, and here’s why: Because the criminals have a free for all in strict places cause no one can obtain a gun. So if a criminal obtains a gun somehow no one is going to shoot back, all they have is to run. And try to get out of the way.... so criminals (like the recent shooting) know that no one can shoot back. But in certain places where more guns are allowed there are less shootings cause the criminals know that there is a high likely-hood that they will be shot at if they fire a gun. It’s insane! So banning guns might not help America. Having well trained police force will help. It’s sad that some police officers let their personal feelings or hatred get in the way of their profession. Politics...... well, I won’t go super far into it, but I dislike the President right now. Don’t come after me, I just don’t really like him very much tbh. I think doctors should give less medications to people. It results badly, when people have over doses, or when they get too attached to it. So maybe instead of paying attention to what their paycheck is, they should care about the well being and safety of their patients. So yeah, I live in America, but that’s my view on y’all Americans, of course, I’m American, but only because I was born here, if I was born anywhere else I wouldn’t be American cause my family isn’t American. Also the President should try to fix the foster care, and adoption system a bit instead of doing whatever the heck he is doing now.
