Generally, our politicians have sold out their constituency for their own self-interests.
Generally, our citizens have sold out to ill-motivated politicians for favors; due to self-serving lifestyles; and the greatest cause, lack of godly principles and value.
Our politicians have sold us to a New World Order! We poured billions of dollars into building China's economy, industry and military and allowed the deterioration of our military, economy, etc.
Personally surprised, President Trump's administration elevated the U.S. in so many ways if you tear off your blinders and allow facts to speak for themselves.
Americans don't regard life as precious and meaningful as they did in the 1950's.
We are less appreciative and more demanding of others. We are more rebellious of laws and less tolerant of others.
Americans are highly divided more than united in so many things. We are individual-oriented rather than family-oriented. Back to the basics, our educational system is flawed where the inmates (students) run the institution. You can't teach without control, children paying attention.
There's a great deal of difference with the expectation China has for their students.
The below video is impressive in a number of ways. They are surpassing the U.S. in so many ways.
Our children are allowed to play and depend on their computers, x boxes, play-stations, cell phones, etc. instead of thinking on their own and being encouraged to exercise and play with others.
It's impressive to watch the Chinese children play, work together in this video. It's the same academically.
