Why don't Americans care anymore?

[usame 21]

I did a lot of volunteer work in my home country among the poor. Those people had nothing but they were happy, thankful and grateful for help. Since moving to the US all I have seen are a bunch of lazy, entitled people. Able bodied people on permanent disability, people milking the system for all it is worth. It's a disgrace.

The lack of intellectual curiosity is astounding. I am waiting to meet people who are really excited, the "Americans" I thought this country was populated with. All I see is ineptitude, a lazy attitude to everything. It's disheartening. This country is headed down the tubes due to disheartened people. I cannot wait for my US passport so my spouse and I can move to a European country where people pull their weight and the government looks after it's citizens, both poor, middle-class and wealthy.

Tread carefully when deciding to immigrate to the US - it's not the place it purports to be. It's a culture in decline, much like the end of the Roman civilization.

Wow, where I live (Texas) it is the complete opposite. So many volunteering organisations and opportunities to join... maybe it is just your area?

If you hate and have no respect for the people here, then why do you want to be a US citizen?

You can leave here without a US passport. You don't need a US passport to leave here and live in Europe.

Euro trash who wants the advantage of US citizenship and talks poorly of the people he wants to join.

He? I'm female. I want a US passport because I am married to a US citizen and the least this dreadful place can offer me is citizenship, especially after paying taxes, social security and not being able to vote. NO, I won't leave. So take a hike.

That makes no sense! Why would you want citizenship if you don't even want to live there, you are technically paying the US government thousands of $$$ to just leave?

F.U. This country does not owe you US citizenship. YOU OWE THIS COUNTRY FOR LETTING YOU LIVE AND WORK HERE.

You didn't have to come here. You made a choice. You can choose to leave.

You take a hike.

I owe you NOTHING, except my advice on how terrible most of you are. Resorting to swearing reinforces my opinion of people here. Entitled, lazy and unable to handle criticism.

Go back to Europe.

Would your country let as many immigrants in as the US? No. Look at the way Europe is treating asylum seekers.

You are a disgrace of a human being. You are the epitome of a snotty European. You are a user. You want to use the US for US citizenship.

***** Folks, not everyone has to love the USA. However, you should state your criticisms constructively, without huge generalisations made in the op, and respond the same way- politely. Many if you, including the Op, did not.
