Selections from the comments we received:

Ignorant of the world out side their boarders. Divided in the way the votes are cast. Poor when it comes to diversity.

 —Andrew Wiggin, Bellevue, NE United States, July, 6, 2006

Ignorant because of the war that is going on today. i just disagree that we should even be in a war. Fighting terrorism is a great thing but how can you just pick one specific area on a map and say you're going to there to fighter terrorism? it's everywhere and they have their own believers i just think the war is a wrong approach to try to stop this. Diverse...well i suppose in American we have people coming from all over. They want to be am American and live the American dream. Sadly not many can

 —Diana Lu, Glen Head, NY United States, August, 12, 2006

It seemed to me that most people thought positively about the U.S. How is it that we are so good at decievin people?

 —Jeremy Standifiord, Las Cruces, NM United States, August, 14, 2006

i speak as an african who hears the talk of many here(when no amerikans are present) also most of us don't say it your faces but african people, like south americans, are sick and tired of you cheating, double-dealer, evil yankee people (corporations/government/cia) empire with "your" world bank and "your" intrnational monetary fund, for all the suffering,hunger,pain and death you cause on us with your capitalist lies. with memories of what you have done to us in the past and what you do to innocent iraqis

 —anonymous same, Parow, 11 South Africa, September, 28, 2006

America is about appearance and not substance. So long as people have their material possessions they are content to let elected officials run amock, live in a filthy environment, and ignore world issues (e.g., China's economic takeover; poverty and hunger; illegal drugs and crime; threats from Islam)
