That's pretty much spot-on and you are certainly not alone with those beliefs; indeed, one of the USA's closest neighbour's isn't very impressed with the Americans as seen here:

Brexit, for once some facts.

Thanks. So why reference my quote.
And I said how people chose to reply is a waste of time.
But you did, and I always enjoy your rather individual viewpoint, so don't sulk
Whereas ours are told what to do by Rupert Murdoch,Russian and israeli Bulk dodgy cash contributors.
Read the post OG.But you did, and I always enjoy your rather individual viewpoint, so don't sulk
I don’t think just “giving” them jobs would work. If they studied for something useful in the fields of science, engineering, languages, vocational skills etc, it would be appropriate to reward them with a decent wage and career prospects.
Degrees in pop music, film, playing games and other such rubbish should never be rewarded. The Universitys carry a lot of blame for the rise in this sort of garbage. They offer these course to hook in the non-academics and fleece them for £27K.
Surely that is democracy, the majority of voters represented with all those parties taking part in governance?
Better than the USA with two parties both buying their way into power.

Allegedly.
At side of some past US presidents Trump is a saint and genius. LBJ and Vietnam. JFK and mafia. Bush snr.. Iran.. Clinton.. Lewinsky. Nixon.. Water gate. Bush Jnr.. well what can you say. Reagan....Thatcher(and billions on star wars technology)
Trump IMHO is trying to forge links with North Korea. He, s also trying to establish a fairer tariff system. Both positive steps IMHO. I also thought he was well informed in his last conference.He is also trying so reestablish lost industry in US.
I was impressed he managed to read all that from an autocue and only rambled when responding to the pre rehearsed questions when he looked up from it...
Reading lines is after all de rigeur for TV phony personalities like him
Trump isn't trying to forge links with North Korea he has several objectives
- Make himself appear the Hero and swell his Vanity
- Act as a useful fool to his handlers who want to split North Korea from China
- Cosy up to Putin to cover up misdeeds over Russian influence and use them against China and or the EU in some way
- Do the same economic damage to American Voters as our shower will after Brexit using the same excuses of "Will of the People" and promising "Jobs for the Worker"
Oh he can quite easily create jobs, but not ones that offer the holder any future, financial security or good conditions.
Right wing regimes never do, they don't want to eliminate Poverty, but to exploit and use it to control their victims.

I haven't passed judgement flecc. Not my place. I live in UK. US citizens see it as their model of democracy. My point is all models of democracy are just that. A model. None perfect, as to which is best, who knows. We, ve moaned about ours enough which is fine. Moaning about somebody elses' is like commenting on neighbours wife. Not good form.
The words were clear enough, but as the saying goes
"You used expensive labels on Empty Baggage"
I wouldn't need the Autocue , unlike yourself I don't forget points I have made in the past.
Is Empty Baggage a town near you OG? Or a person perhaps? If not it doesn't need capitals.
Might be your name. Mr Empty Baggage.
Come on OG, thought you, d had an education.
