Trialling minors as adults, practising the death penalty, criminalising prostitution - are you really saying that's "equal"?? Those are horrific abuses of civil liberties. As is disconnecting people's internet because the MPAA says so.

Go read a book, "Mate"! The only reason why Australians aren't as bad as Americans is because they live in Australia, and not America.

Your treatment of Australian indigenous peoples has been, and still is far worse. You committed total genocide against the unique Tasman people, and you removed Aboriginal children from their parents for 70 years. Not in the 19th Century, but in recent memory for those over 40!

Yes we're not proud of that!

• The USA starts wars. They're the most war-hungry nation on the planet.

• Companies based in the USA extort people. This includes so-called "copyright trolls" and other companies like PayPal that freeze accounts without warning and keep all of their client's money.
  
• Prostitution is still prosecuted, and pornographers have not been forced to provide a safe work-palace, despite the enactment of a new law in California.
  
• Minors can be tried as adults - something not done in any other first world country.
  
• Criminal prosecutions are excessive.
  
• They trigged the GFC because they allowed predatory behaviour in the corporate banking world.
  
• Because they have corporations that are based on distributing creative works, they fight to keep copyrights and patents at unreasonable lengths, in measures that only benefit publishers and not artists or researchers.
  
• They believe they can dictate to other sovereign States how they should behave, and what policies they should enforce.
  

Feel free to add your own points.

Yay! Make America great again!

Oh hold on, that's what you're complaining about. Another thing you can add to your list is racism. It astounds me that people can still call for segregation nowadays.

I personally hate the British establishment. Not Brits, but the establishment that has been in place since feudal times. While America is like the big school boy bully, the British establishment are like the snivelling weak bully that hangs around the bigger one making matters worse. I think Britain is just as war hungry as America. Not that the public wants it, but the establishment does. We have a thriving arms industry that profit from this and also sell weapons to Saudi Arabia to wage war on Yemen.

We need to be conquered ... but not by America.

That was Britain.

The US did test a hydrogen bomb over the Bikini Atoll. Had to move all of 167 island people, who of course weren't happy when they found out they could not really go home after a few months. Whoops!

Brits? Yanks? We've been screwed over by so many Australia will soon be called Priscilla!

Oh, the racism in America! There was land to settle there, and Europeans were so happy to sell American settlers the Africans who they had bought from other Africans, and now here we are with irreconcilable differences which will likely prevent our racial tension from ever being resolved. The mutual distrust will forever feed the hatred between ignorant people, and there are still plenty of white Americans who are more ignorant than the average slave was in 1860, but not through legal enforcement to prohibit their education.

As for America playing the militaristic bully - we learned that from the British. So now the teacher is hiding behind his former pupil?

Every time we do something or don't do something there's somebody bitchin' that we shouldn't have done that or should have done that.

I was an immigrant. I feel extremely lucky and grateful to be living here.

Bill Bailey would agree with you.
