Random thought on American Politics

Don't be mean but I'm just saying this that i noticed

I hear it all the time when people in other countries say "America isn't the center of the world" to insult Americans talking about their politics and laws or whatever going on.

But at the same time i ALWAYS see people from other countries talking about who they want to win the election, what America should do with their laws, insulting Americans for their political beliefs, and posting/ talking about what they think about current American politics and policies going on.

Not really saying anything else other than pointing that out because i find it weird. It's not the center of the world, but sure seems like it when all my UK, European, Australian friends talk about US politics more than i do

A very good point. We’re often scolded for inundating the site with posts about U.S. politics, but it seems like the majority of such posts here originate from Canadians and Europeans.

@bijouxbroussard it just doesn't make sense to me... i dont think i should say "Mind your business" or anything. But it's just annoying when they get mad at americans for being too "selfish" about their politics and situations, but they're the ones always making the choice to talk about it and criticize it on their own

Hopefully that makes sense.. i might not have said it good

@PetalsOfLilac I do understand what you’re saying. Occasionally I’ve had a few issues with people who have never set foot in the U.S. but think they know how things are here.

@bijouxbroussard right. These are
EXAGGERATED examples
But men shouldnt tell women about women issues
Whites shouldnt tell blacks about black issues
A Mail man shouldnt tell a chef about their chef issues
Americans shouldnt tell Europeans about European issues

But everyone whos not american wants to tell Americans about their own issues.

Like i know School shootings are a terrible problem, you dont need to throw it in my face everytime you want to insult me for being american.

I know the government sucks, i dont need an english or british person to tell me that

I know America has issues, trust me. You're not breaking any news to me

Its just annoying
