the American system is so fucked up. I don't know how you can read things like that and think it's not. downvote me all you want.

You must not be familiar with the American system.

Gonna go ahead and chalk that up to reading comprehension fails. Good times

I guess I'm just overly eager to tell Americans how crazy the system they accept is

Thankfully, the US system does not agree with you.

I really don't think the original commenter was implying that everyone was an American or that the American system was the proper way to do things, especially based on his/her other posts. I see this kind of comment all the time, and it doesn't appear to be constructive but antagonistic.

Maybe it's because I'm not American and am pretty unfamiliar with that system, but yeah.

To be clear I'm not disagreeing with OP or saying nobody else is to blame, I just didn't fully understand. I was glad someone else had asked and hoped to scroll down and understand, not find an argument, I think everyone had good intentions here.

You seem to be under the impression America does not work this way.

That's exactly how I read it. And that's probably the same position of lots of Americans, which in and of itself is quite fucked up.

That's the most out of touch American thing I've ever read on this site.

I dislike how you're being downvoted for not being American.

conductr | karma 5093 | avg karma 2.17 · | 2022-04-28 14:32:53

Yeah. That's just like, your opinion, man.

It doesn't match up to the reality of the US's "system"

Bloody Americans. That's ridiculous.

I thought it was pretty funny. An American goes abroad, abuses the system without the slightest hint of remorse, then complains how America's system is much worse.

I wonder if there's some correlation between that kind of attitude and how the system works...

you americans are seriously fucked up.

hestipod | karma 1408 | avg karma 4.18 · | 2019-10-24 17:05:54

I didn't downvote you if it matters. I agree with you about society, but American culture does not in large. Even the family who has seen this happen to me is still staunchly hard right and against their taxes funding any social programs.

shoemakersteve | karma 128 | avg karma 1.66 · | 2021-07-07 10:46:48

As a non-American, that sounds pretty fucked.

bitslayer | karma 277 | avg karma 2.86 · | 2015-02-07 13:10:26

That's so un-American.

dboreham | karma 16160 | avg karma 2.32 · | 2018-03-27 17:56:11

That's so un-American.

Jgrubb | karma 3100 | avg karma 4.18 · | 2015-12-12 14:01:04+00:00

Are you American? I totally agree with you but that's just not how we do things over here.

slurgfest | karma 1975 | avg karma 1.92 · | 2012-08-03 20:34:00+00:00

This isn't "the American way of thinking," it is a response to the state of the American system. Although casual, yours is a rather bigoted statement.
