MARK ALEXANDER: The Americans have destroyed the West. They have destroyed the wonderful way of life that Westerners were once able to lead. Americans have destroyed Western values, too. What can we thank Americans for? They have destroyed family life. They have forced mothers out into the workplace, thereby abandoning their traditional roles are mothers, caring wives, and caregivers. Look at women today! And then compare them with women and mothers of yesteryear! Simply put: There is no comparison.
Have the Americans taught the world how to eat healthily? Hardly! Americans are largely overweight, even obese, and they fill their tummies with junk food. Hardly a way of eating to follow which is conducive to good health!
Have Americans taught the world how to dress? Hardly! Elegance is as hard to find in the States as is a needle in haystack! Unless, of course, your idea of elegance is a baseball cap and a T-shirt!
Have Americans taught the world how to enjoy family life? Again, hardly! If anything, with their insistence on working mothers, Americans have destroyed any semblance of wholesome family life.
Have Americans improved the English language? Again, hardly! Just listen to American videos and American TV, they are replete with foul words. The F bomb is dropped with alarming regularity, without anyone batting an eyelid.
Manners have largely disappeared from American life. Gone are the days in which one was addressed as “Sir” in a shop over there.
Americans talk a hell of a lot about Christianity. But do they live their lives in a Christian way? Hardly! First of all, the American’s understanding of Christianity is extremely skewed, to say the least. They believe that Jesus was all about making money! I would wager that the god that Americans worship is not God, but Mammon!
Can Americans teach us how to run a healthcare system? Again, hardly! Americans spend far, far more on healthcare than probably any other nation, yet the outcomes are worse. Furthermore, millions, literally millions, of Americans cannot afford for themselves any healthcare at all.
One could go on. And on!
Just about the only lessons we can learn from America, Americans, are in technology and IT. The rest, we are better off ignoring.
