How DISGUSTING American culture has become
Lets start with the media. Complete trash!! Every movie, every TV show, every commercial is just filled with stupidity. I just got cable for the first time in YEARS, and I HATE it!! I'm probably going to end up canceling it, because I just can't stand the sheer stupidity it spreads.

Not only that, the media is more responsible for stereotypes than ANYONE else. It just absolutely CORRUPTS cultures with it's stereotypical portrayal of certain ethnic groups (for instance, Italians and Jersey Shore!). Not only that, FAR to many people live for all the media garbage, which, in turn, is helping make Americans stupid people.

Now lets get to the public school system: Public schools are absolute cesspools! A lot of the kids are sick twisted little freaks (probably because of the media, actually, and things like violent video games), who torture those who aren't or those that show any promise. Public schools are just awful!

Not only that, Americans have this obsession with the seedy underbelly of everything. People (especially YOUNG people) are too obsessed with things like sex, and violence (again, the media is largely to blame for that). It's like people are just becoming barbaric!!

Another problem I have, is how America sets up some sort of social norms that EVERYONE must adhere to. Such as casual sex, which young people are pressured into by their peers (again, largely due to the media desensitizing people to that sort of thing).

I could go on all day. Sorry if this is a bit convoluted, but I think you know what I'm saying. It just seems like America is in complete decay, and it really just disgusts me! Does anyone agree?

Its a functioning shithole. They aren't alone though. Many other places are almost just as disgusting if not worse.

Re: How DISGUSTING American culture has become
Why not take care of your own country's issues? Maybe volunteer to dig up more indigenous bodies to uncover all the tribal elimination of peoples, language, etc. that has occured??? It is your very own Queen who is behind so very much of what you allege against us.

We , all of the countries are filled with utterly corrupt parties and have practiced eggregious things upon ourselves and others and until we are freed from Satan's rule of this world it will continue.

Begin working on yanking that log out of your own eye before you attack us? Come on, you do know that you are as much a part of the problem as the rest of us don't you?????

Spare us your attitude.

We the people are not controlling the media, in fact we are as sickened by it as you say. We the people don't approve of lot's of what has gone down over the last 20-30 years, but we are ignored.

We the people will probably have to get our hands dirty one day soon, but it's not like we don't have lives that keep us busy.

Yeah, you should get rid of your cable. Stick your head back in the sand, and delude yourself some more on how we Americans are just characters off the stupid cable tv.

We are humans with hearts and minds in America, we are not some alien race without feelings.

What's the source of good culture? What makes one culture better than another?

I do think some cultures are better than others and I have my reasons...

It's something everyone should consider for themselves although there probably is no point in discussing it on these forums, lol.

Re: How DISGUSTING American culture has become
I completely agree, I don't know why I never saw this before but I am currently 20 and am starting to get really philisophical and am seeing how rap music and reality TV is seriously wrong and influential...I listen to rap, but I pretty much ONLY listen to Kendrick Lamar, who is very much against this bullshit and the whole party, sex, drugs, alcohol filled generation.

Television has completely destroyed peoples values and outlooks on others. Mainstream rap is all sex, cheating, drugs, drinking. I've done my fair share of these in the past and am realizing that it was just a complete waste of time and the only thing that comes out of it is negativity. Although I do believe that my past experiences with marijuana have helped open my eyes to the corruption that is American Society today..

I agree because this type of culture is then exported to other countries. There are many USA TV programs which are replicated in third-world countries like the one I'm living in. And the problem is that the replica is even worse.

Parents should be accountable for properly rearing their children. I wouldn't matter what the media slops out there if the children are taught what is right and wrong. (I'm not inferring religious dogma here by the way)

In fact this media wouldn't likely exist if people were taught from birth to see it for what it truly represents. There's no money to be made from disdain.
I wish I had more time so I could do even less.
