Have you ever wondered why most of the world hates the US and do things like fly planes into buildings?
Wow.
Do you believe men in caves made NORAD stand down?
You must have been working on your "I Loathe the American People" thread when this one popped up

Dear Small minded person,
Please look at the population of the US. Then look at the population of ATS. then read ATS. Paying close attention to how many Americans think our government is traveling in the correct direction. When you come back after that, you can start on your "boy was I an idiot" thread and apologize to the rest of the world.
Sincerely,
Most of the Americans on ATS.

Is the huge conspiracy that is ruling over your lives not obvious? Have you ever wondered why most of the world hates the US and do things like fly planes into buildings?

Sweet, Canada doesn't have poor people! I didn't know that, but that's a neat fact there

2. The US spends over 600 BILLION dollars a YEAR. I don't know why your Americans let your government spend that much on its military, seeing as how it spends 6 TIMES as much money on its military than its (arguably) biggest rival, China, and accounts for 43% of ALL military spending, and is more money spent then the next 14 top military spenders COMBINED.

Correction- rich on a relative scale.
In Canada, it doesn't matter how poor you are- you always have access to fresh water, a war-free environment, and food.
That kind of stuff is non-existent in the third world, were people are dying from starvation and un-clean water every minute.

oh, so once again, you're a non american who's advocating americans revolt against our government? oh, yeah, that's simple... lmao.
first of all, even though we may not like what our government does or the WAY it does things, i refer you to my previous post, it's still better than everywhere else. if the united states was as bad as other countries make it out to be, we would have zero problem with illegal immigration. and for the record, i'm not talking just about hispanics. i'm talking about people from haiti, vietnam, china, pretty much all over africa, and yes.. we even have illegals from canada. so, since we're so horrible, why are they coming? that's right... because we still have a better system.
and here you are. now telling us we should revolt. why don't you revolt against your government? oh, wait, you can't because... well, you can't.. see.. that's what i think is funny, people from other countries trying to goad us into starting an armed revolution, but here's the irony.. at least we CAN have an ARMED revolution.
and here, even amid your arguement, you lend credence to what my self, slayer and messonthefed and others have said, i see you posing no solutions. hold discussions? group meetings? well, that's cool.. but, who's bringing the cookies and kool aid?
we've spent so much time trying to make the word stable, and standing up for the little guy, and losing countless american lives in the process, i might add.....now, the world has to pinpoint our problems as the epicenter of a global "doomsday"??
you know what? how about a thank you? when was the last time another country stood up and said thank you for the lives we've lost? the fallen friends, brothers, sisters and fathers? for the turmoil in OUR country for the price we've paid? for the cries and sobs of children who will never have a bedtime story read to them?
yeah, the united stated of america has her problems... we've earned them.. but they are OUR problems.
by the way... you're welcome

It's pretty much a **** all situation. All hope is lost. Call me demoralized or lazy or what have you, but I'm telling you it's too late. This place is going to crumble no matter what we do. You just can't fix a country 80+ trillion in debt. It's impossible. That's 80,000 billion dollars. Each person in this country owes the government close to a million dollars.

The OP to me sounds like he is trying to incite some sort of Tunisian or Egyptian style uprising in the U.S. just because he doesn't like what the U.S. is doing. How would the OP react if we were to suggest the same for Canadians?
So to you sitting in Canada, or in any other country that would presume that you have some special knowledge and/or insight that allows you to get up on a high horse and then tell us what we need to do to "fix" America, I simply say, "Take the log out of your own eye before you try and remove the speck from mine".
In other words, you first ...
