 We're #1 !

It's easy to be #1 at anything!

All you have to do is disqualify and remove from consideration everyone else. Then you're always #1.

Even thought few American have fiber it still blows
Its inferior fiber, heavily capped at 5mbit to 50mbit and pricing structure is very high compared to other offering in 3rd world country.

for 40.00 all i can get is 5mbps
for verizon all they could get is 10mbps/2mbps
how can i say this... suck!
you have pay a lot more to have something that is closer to japan... say 139.99 to 192.00
this is ridiculous
also 75 percent of american are pretty much stuck at 1.5mbps to 6mpbs for the average price japan, korea, sweden, netherland pays for that are at least 25 to 50 times faster

America is pathetic, we're number one at consuming gasoline
We're number one at making the biggest most useless car in the world
we're number one at ripping others off
in many category we're at the bottom of the list

we're the fattest, most lazy nation on this planet. most american just sit at home being glue to their television. hardly anyone get any exercise anymore

the food makes us fat and being a coach potato make us even fatter

thanks to genetically modified food by monsanto the evil corporate nazi, the world is following along in the fat american lifestyle

what else did we achieve? the atomic bomb, water fluoridation, aids artifically created to reduce the population of the world, sars, aspartame, msg, agent orange
the most hated nation on this planet

Australia- free healthy care
UK- free health care
Canada- free health care
America- health care not free, are most expensive, insurance company does not cover even if you pay because they are thieves, most can't afford it, most are in poor health. insurance company will make sure you are healthy before insuring you. why insure those who are healthy? that's pointless. a healthy person doesn't need insurance
America are run by monkeys, nobody know what their doing.

On one hand you complain about internet speeds, then complain that we are lazy spending too much time in front of the TV.

How is that any different than spending too much time in front of the computer. Speeds that high are great for streaming video which is just like .....TV.

Have you seen the tax rates in some of those countries. Its not free.

Can't really argue with that.

Well, I'm not going to go that far, but it is true we are a consumer nation that has been farmed into delivering fat corporate profits.

Holy mackerel, is there nothing good about America?

What do you say when you wake up in a good mood? Enquiring minds really want to know™.

America really is a great country, and I say that with sincerity. I am glad I live here.

Now as for our political system, and a lot of our representatives.. well if it were entirely up to me. I can be honest and say I'd fire the lot of em. There would be real change, not just a .. 'change of positions.' It would not be some game of musical chairs...

Anyways unfortunately or fortunately, it's a matter of perspective, its not up to me, but up to everyone.

And I think that says something as well.. I mean the majority get the representatives they really want.

Speak for yourself, don't blame America because you're fat and uneducated. Are you calling Obama a monkey?

The biggest joke from that guy has to be that coverage areas are fine. Cable companies will deliver services to everyone! Herdfan, how many areas around you still don't have cable? I know of quite a few places in WV that don't have cable service, and likely never will. I live half an hour from Pittsburgh and don't have cable service in my town. There are very large coverage holes all over Westmoreland county.

We are a country of visual people. If we don't see the problem in our day to day lives, it doesn't exist.

I don't think all Americans are idiots just some of them! I've spent time in the US (California, Massachusetts, New York) and generally all was fine. If there is a high idiot count I didn't see it there, though I do see it 'online' in other places. That rant not being one of those that make my idiot radar go high.

President Obama and the Democrats will see to it that you'll be paying those same high rates in just a few short years. It might be hidden in the cost of electricity and every purchase you make but that doesn't mean you're not going to pay.

Sorry dude but if your visit to America (thank you for coming) was limited to California, Massachusetts, New York, then You only saw the left-wing view of the USA.

Please visit the "Heartland"...the Mid-West. The "South" outside Atlanta.....the real America awaits your views bloke...with open arms...you just have to find us!

Re: We're #1 !

I'm tired of hearing that politically biased nonsense. Has Obama raised taxes? No. Does he plan on raising taxes? Some people's. Not mine. If he holds true to his campaign, I would get a tax cut, as would more than 100 million Americans.

But that is a "plan" from a campaign. I'm sure we all remember George H. W. Bush saying "No new taxes." Pull your head out of your backside and realize they all lie, and they all raise your taxes.
