as if anyone in the US should care what others think.

American exceptionalism in one phrase.

Why should the rest of the world care about anything anyone ever says

Why would do care whether other people think most people care? What makes this special? You are not posting similar comments under other articles.

Of course it matters what people think.

He cares because he represents a large group of people who believe in American superiority. Their worldview dictates that Americans are superior, and have 'dibs' on the products of the global economy. To suggest to them that there exist foreigners who are smarter and more skilled than Americans- even if only a small number of Americans, and even if only at a specific task- is quite offensive.

Sure we do. I care what the average person, or in case commenter, thinks about the situation. In fact more than I care about MSM’s opinion. You certainly seem to care with explicit/implicit cues in a lot of your comments.

As an American I care about this. As a human I care about this. I'm surprised I have to say that.

I'm not asking you to care about anything. I don't actually care what you think or care about to be honest. But I would hope that jonp888 or you or anyone aren't told their tragedy doesn't matter or that it happens because they don't care themselves.


And why should Americans care about the plight of others? Tired of this argument tbh. Americans should care about themselves first and foremost.

By the very fact of how polemic Americans can be, Americans definitely do care. So, the real question is: is it maybe they're just not caring about what you care about? There's a myriad of issues a person can care about that you yourself probably don't and there's probably someone saying the same thing about you.

Huh, interesting. First time I read this comment, it said something like "why should I care what you think?" I guess the edit indicates that you do care?

Why should anyone care what you think on this topic?

"What Do You Care What Other People Think?"

And anybody should care why?

I think they do care. People thinking the U.S. government doesn't care may as well be an indication that their efforts on propaganda are highly effective and successful.

I guess I mean the everybody should and does care

For the same reasons that anybody should (or should not) care about what you think, I would imagine.

I think you should not preface posts by telling someone they are missing the point.

So, we should care because the public cares? What's the public's good reason for caring?

We should care because public opinion is notable, whether it has good reasons or not? What's notable about this one?


Why do you care what other people think?

Why do you care what other people think?

Who cares about this, even inside the US?
