  • Maybe you're being a little precious here. The US has the most dominant culture of any nation, more people are just exposed to its strengths and weaknesses. Yes I mentioned strengths as well as weaknesses because the US is admired as much if not more for those than any of it's weaknesses.
    And I don't know what rock you live under, but if you've never seen criticism of north Korea, Myanmar/Burma or Saudi Arabia then I find that very hard to believe, and it's incredibly rare to hear anyone acknowledging any of their strengths.

    • USA isn't the leading country for culture. But it is great in some ways but is horrible in other ways.

    • I disagree. I recently traveled to Denmark for a UN- related meeting and I had to sit and listen to a bunch of Danish representatives tear the US apart. Yet when North Korea and Somalia came into question, they all agreed that: "North Korea is a great country with a strong government. The only problem is that the government has some minor anti-western issues, other than that, North Korea is a peace-loving nation."

      The words they used for the US were: "war-mongering," "corrupt" and "a cheating state."
      I never said that N.Korea, Myanmar or Saudi Arabia AREN'T criticized, I said that they are criticized LESS than the United States - which is wrong to me.

    • That's a good point, and to be honest, I can't think of one positive thing about North Korea.
