Nothing. We're a country of ~350 million diverse people who believe lots of different things. And this question seems in very bad faith from a 21 minute old account.
OP asks something that "only" Americans believe, not something that "all" Americans believe. Very different questions.
Oh stop it. Are you actually claiming that you can’t characterize the culture of a nation of people, claiming that there is NO prevailing common beliefs? That’s nonsense. Your objection to the question is just a permission structure for some of the terrible things that Americans tend to believe and provides way more deference to a group that, based on their collective actions for centuries, don’t deserve it.
Is this a serious comment? 🤔
based on their collective actions for centuries, don’t deserve it.
Found the war criminal.
That brand new accounts coming here to stir shit up should be banned. Actually I'm pretty sure everyone here thinks that.
With how easy it is for banned accounts to just make a new one somewhere, there really needs to be some kind of account age limiter. As far as I know it's not an option on any instance.
So then you just make a bunch of accounts at once and wait until they can post. 🤷♂️
Age limit prevents bot spam; it is not going to stop trolling or astroturfing.
I've learned that any bar for entry significantly cuts down on spam. Turns out people are lazy and reactionary. Some may do that, but it's very few compared to those who want to troll right now.
Same thing with basic things like asking a question at sign up, or email verification. The most basic sign up things block 95% of spam
That a TV show about a guy getting cancer and becoming a multi-million dollar drug manufacturer in order to pay for treatments is perfectly rational.
2/10, no rage felt. Left feeling cheated.
Only Americans believe it is pointless to have restrictions on guns
Lies on the Internet.
What's is one thing any country believes as a monolith? Nothing.
ITT a bunch of American hating trolls.
while I agree with the sentiment current developments suggest that having a form of protection against a corrupt government is a wise precaution.
I don't go brandishing it openly. I don't threaten with it. I don't live in a fantasy to be the "hero".
For people outside the US you have to realize that gun ownership is a part of the American cultural experience.
As with any society, there are those people within it that toxify the culture. My point is, don't vilify Americans because of a subculture of our society. All that succeeds in doing is alienating and dividing us apart.
Many of them falsely think that Santa Claus lives on the north pole.
That's wrong because Santa Claus doesn't exist.

Hehe. Dummies. He obviously lives at Ear Fell, every Finn knows that.
Mayo is an instrument.
Uh, excuse me, Mayo is a clinic.

Mexican drug lord.
