Americans should not be such judgmental people...

[AZ Progressive]

Aside from certain social issues, Americans are quite judgmental, especially when it comes to the poor, the unsuccessful, the overweight / obese, anything that is seen close to like "your a lazy moocher!". It wouldn't be so bad if it didn't have serious consequences (America's hostility to socialism and help to the poor.)

Americans shouldn't be so judgmental, as it legitimizes foreigners to be judgmental on Americans. There is plenty for foreigners to judge Americans on (including the rampant greed and selfishness, stupidity, lack of real care about families, its apathy, lack of caring that people are dying around the world because of the American government's imperialism, etc...). When you are so judgmental, you give legitimacy to others to be so critical about you...

1. We're not so much judgmental as efficient executioners.

From our foreign policy to our policing, we are often lethally violent in our actual methods while packaging it in lofty rhetoric about rights, democracy, due process and freedom.

Only an American could say about napalming in Vietnam, "We had to destroy the village to save it."

2. We live in a toxic culture

This nation is one big Survivor Island
It breeds the worst in human nature.
There is a pathology within the 1%.

We need a culture of Well-Being.
Cooperation needs to be esteemed
above competition.
