I've think that other big problem is that the european countries take US as a model during the 80's('cause at this time we're on crisis) and now when our rulers see the social problems that you have, feels afraid for that happens here in the old Europe.

And of course, the political corect way of thinking...it's horrible that kids could see nudety on films but they could see pure shit like MTV (A real brainwashing), or Irak war on TV....

I haven't been to Spain, so what I know of it is rather vague. Mostly gleaned through travel shows and books and the like. I think of a romantic place with beautiful old architecture and a balmy climate. I just don't really know that much though.

As for what the rest of the world thinks about the US... all I can say is that I understand how you guys feel about it, and I can't blame you. A lot of us here are afraid and distressed at the way this country is going too. That's all I'll say, as I have no desire to get involved in a political debate/flamewar.

We do that HERE on an almost nightly basis...We rarely go out in the daytime unless we absolutely HAVE to...And, we have never encountered any problems.....It isn't ALL of America that's bad...That's just what the rest of the world sees....Have you no 'bad' areas in Spain?

I see, I explain wrong. I want to say that I can get back home ALONE at six in the morning, for that I cross all the town. But your right on big towns like Barcelona or Madrid some places are dangerous...unfortunally there's "mad" people all over the world

I also wanted to say that the MAJORITY of America is just fine...It's usually the big cities (New York especially), and we only have a few 'big cities' per state, where most of the bad stuff happens...But, high crime rates are expected in major cities EVERYWHERE...It's not uncommon...

Why does the rest of the world only hear about the bad side of America?...It's because you are NEVER gonna watch a news segment, or read a headline titled "Nothing happened today...Everything was cool...Nobody was shot or robbed...Nobody died...etcetera"....Tragedy sells...

And most Americans are not sheep,we disagree with ALOT of things that go on in our government and our society.
That's the one thing that people from other countries don't understand-we are a HUGE land mass and we are not all lumped together into the same mindset.
