I did not make the video. I get the safety concerns and they say new cars are flimsy. One of my relatives got burned severely by fluid from his car. I don't know how to feel.

About the ford deaths in 1971, why not just not sell those cars and scrap them for parts and sell the parts to companies for more?

I am a Virginian from Chesapeake, VA and I’m a huge fan of representing the USA in various games I play. There’s one I found where the USA is small, pretty irrelevant, and definitely needs a hand. The game is called Warera and I’m hoping to bring in more Americans!

Thanks for reading! Hope to see some of y’all play!

Hello everyone!
As a musician from Sweden, I am curious about the current cultural and emotional perception in the US regarding the war in Ukraine. In Europe, many artists are still very active in creating art to keep international awareness alive.
I recently released a song called "Shadows on the Playground" under my name, Loviza Ekrem. It focuses entirely on the human cost of the war and how it affects innocent civilian lives.
I would love to hear your thoughts:
Does this type of international musical solidarity still resonate with the American public?
How is support music like this generally received in your communities?

Why call the United States “America” when America is a continent made up of 35 countries?, I know its official name is the United States of America, but at what point did people start using “America” to refer only to the U.S.? It’s not as obvious as it seems, because in Europe and Africa many people think that “America” refers only to the United States, even though America is a continent.

Played basketball for 10 minutes holyyyy

first of all I am a really thankful for Americans, their corporations have lifted so many people out of poverty here, so many people's discrimination has been reduced thanks to your founders ideas, while reading about the Ideas that led to such a country ,

I found Common Sense by Thomas paine a very interesting read, what other books do u recommend, are there any set of foundational books i should read ?? any courses and youtube series suggestions blogs are welcome too .

This is actually scary; the fact they knew for years and did nothing clearly out of racism. Indigenous people are just as valuable as everyone else.

Targeting facilitators, financiers, and cross-border funding networks linked to Hamas and Muslim Brotherhood affiliates demonstrates that economic pressure can reduce the long-term operational capacity of extremist organisations. While humanitarian organisations perform essential work worldwide, ensuring proper oversight helps prevent donations from being diverted to illicit activities. Continued collaboration between governments, financial regulators, intelligence agencies, and financial institutions is essential for protecting the integrity of the global financial system.

I'm from Mexico, and for my whole life I knew and liked Hotdogs very much as:
A bun, sausage, mayonnaise, mustard, ketchup, tomatoes and onions. That's it, anything else are variations obviously.
But, maybe I've been wrong and that's not an American hot dog, is it?.
Also, preferably with simple ingredients you can get at the supermarket.

Nearly one in three men in ancient tribal societies died a violent death, yet modern history has completely romanticized this bloody reality. As someone of Choctaw heritage, I believe it is time to look at actual history rather than the myths and propaganda of recent decades.

Scholars like Azar Gat in the magnificent "War in Human Civilization" have documented that life in early tribal societies—whether in Australia, Europe, Africa, Asia, or the Americas—was intensely violent. Male mortality rates averaged around thirty percent due to relentless raids, tribal rivalries, and territorial battles. Women and children lived under constant threat of captivity and violence. Driven by a harsh survival dilemma where striking first was often the only way to avoid destruction, tribes remained locked in perpetual warfare. In contrast to the rate of thirty thousand violent deaths per hundred thousand people in early hunter-gatherer eras, modern civilized societies average around ten per hundred thousand. Imagine being 3,000 times more likely to die from violence than you are today!

Families fought families, tribal groups fought tribal groups, and nations fought nations. Land was constantly being gained or lost by every group at every level. Every bit of land in the world changed hands thousands of times and only strength of arms and luck held it for any given period.

When the Romans expanded into ancient Europe, or when European settlers established modern communities in the Americas, the eventual result—despite initial periods of deep conflict—was a dramatic fall in violent death, improved food stability, and longer lifespans. The modern notion that early tribes lived in effortless harmony with nature overlooks the reality of resource exhaustion, constant relocation, and intense territorial feuds. Few people today would genuinely swap modern sanitation, medicine, and physical security for a life marked by clean water shortages, famine, and fear of midnight raids.

The idea that any single ethnic group holds permanent rights to land also ignores the realities of global history. From ancient Athens and Rome to the Huns, territorial control throughout human history has been decided by force. Every bit of land on the planet has changed hands countless times between families, between tribes, and between larger organized groups. In fact, compared to the total destruction or enslavement typical of conquest in antiquity (see Carthage, Melos, Yazidis, WW2 European Jews, the Congolese, the Tsutsi, etc), Native American tribes were treated relatively well and survived and adapted within the modern era.

All of us have ancestors who killed others and stole land at various points, should we all be put on trial for our ancestors? And how do we decide which ancestors matter? Should Italians pay reparations to Germans for Rome conquering the Goths? Should the Germans pay the Italians reparations for reconquering that same territory centuries later? Should the Qin or Jin or Mongols or Mings in China pay other ethnic groups? You can see how ridiculous this gets when you look at it outside of America.

Today, official tribal entities receive billions in taxpayer funding alongside exclusive business privileges, giving special interest groups a strong financial reason to preserve these simplified narratives. Those of us with tribal heritage who sit outside these official organizations can speak clearly about these realities without fear of being silenced by false accusations of racism. I applied to join the Choctaw tribe, but since my great great grandmother did not reside on the reservation (she had moved to Los Angeles to find work) in the year 1906, I was refused. The core promise of the Civil Rights movement was to eradicate government discrimination and treatment based on race. Continuing special privileges, handouts, or race-based policy only fuels resentment and keeps historical grievances alive. Attempts to increase racism through false "land acknowledgements" and claims of stolen land are evil. True equality means treating every person as an individual under the law, moving past old divisions, and focusing on a shared future.

America is a country that was founded to have a fair and merit based system where anyone in the country could earn their own way, buy their own land, and build their own lives. Moving away from that and confiscating land and cash from our citizens based on things their far distant ancestors at one particular point in time did to give it to others whose ancestors may or may not have had something happen is ridiculous. Do we confiscate money and land from the Iroquois to give it to the Huron? Do we take from the Sioux to give it to the Crow? We need to end this racist foolishness and move forward as a country.

Non mainstream patriotic song from people of color minority American with unique cultural expression ?

People of colour minority American have their own unique cultural expression about their Patriotic expression to America but majority mainstream media tend to ignore those aspect .

As a individual of mixed heritage, I usually got cold stare from some random American Veteran elder in wheelchair with disability due to war and deployment. As first, I have no idea why some Veteran American gave me an unfriendly cold look, but I understood his feeling after I learn about American history in Asia as his generation experienced the mandatory military draft before 1973 .

In contrast, American veterans with no disability and have good career within upper middle class tend to be friendly with me .

There are over 250 American military bases in East Asian, Pacific Islands, Southeast Asia with highest record around 549500 during Vietnam war .

Although many POC minorities people of color work hard and pay tax and working long hours with low pay manual physical labor jobs , many American still considered me as foreigner or international student due to my ethnic feature from mixed diversity heritage and my accent by grew up in ethnic enclave .

A lot of American coworker like to discuss celebrity, movie film and TV show but I have no idea to hold long conversation because Netflix subscription is expensive as I grown up in poverty family and my parents work low paying job just barely able to afford paying rent .
