Is the United States an “exceptional” nation? Well, the facts show that we are, but not for the reasons that you may think. Now that it is election season, we have all sorts of politicians running around proclaiming that America is the greatest nation on the entire planet. And just this week, Warren Buffett stated that “America’s great now — it’s never been greater“. But is it actually true? Is the United States still a great nation?
I would submit that the numbers suggest otherwise. I love America, and in my opinion there is not much hope for us until we are willing to admit to ourselves just how far we have fallen. The following are 36 facts that prove that the United States is an “exceptional” nation…
#1 According to a brand new report that was just released by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development, the United States has the fattest population in the entire industrialized world by a wide margin.
#2 That same report from the OECD also found that we are number one in child obesity. In fact, at 38 percent our rate of childhood obesity is even higher than our overall rate of obesity.
#3 According to USA Today, the obesity rate in the United States has more than doubled over the past 25 years.
#4 The Washington Post has reported that Americans spend an average of 293 minutes a day watching television, which is the most in the world by a wide margin. And as I have discussed previously, more than 90 percent of the “programming” that we absorb is created by just 6 enormously powerful media corporations.
#5 One study found that the average American spends more than 10 hours a day using some sort of electronic device.
#6 By the time an American child reaches the age of 18, that child will have seen approximately 40,000 murders on television.
#7 The average young American will spend 10,000 hours playing video games before the age of 21.
#8 Out of 22 countries studied by the Educational Testing Service, Americans were dead last in tech proficiency, dead last in numeracy and only two countries performed worse than us when it came to literacy proficiency.
#9 In more than half of all U.S. states, the highest paid public employee in the state is a football coach.
#10 The percentage of wealth owned by middle class adults is lower in North America than it is anywhere else in the world.
#11 Almost half of all Americans (47 percent) do not put a single penny out of their paychecks into savings.
#12 It turns out that Americans are very good at locking people away in prison. At 716 per 100,000 members of the population, the United States has the highest incarceration rate on the entire planet by a very wide margin.
#13 Approximately one-fourth of the entire global prison population is in the United States.
#14 In 2014, police in the United States killed 1,100 people. During that same year, police in Canada killed 14 people, police in China killed 12 people and police in Germany didn’t kill anyone at all.
#15 One recently published study found that one out of every six young Americans has stolen something during the past year.
#16 There are more car thefts in the United States than anywhere else in the world by far.
#17 According to Fox News, approximately 70 percent of married men in the United States admit to having cheated on their wives.
#18 Americans spend far more on health care than anyone else in the world, and yet we only rank 26th in life expectancy and our entire health care system has been transformed into a giant money making scam.
#19 According to a study conducted by the Mayo Clinic, nearly 70 percent of all Americans are on at least one prescription drug, and an astounding 20 percent of all Americans are on at least five prescription drugs.
#20 According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, 31 percent of all food in the United States gets wasted. In case you were wondering, that amounts to approximately 133 billion pounds of food a year.
#21 In 2013, women earned 60 percent of all bachelor’s degrees that were awarded that year in the United States.
#22 A survey conducted by the Barna Group discovered that 77 percent of Christian men in America in the 18 to 30-year-old age bracket view pornography at least monthly.
#23 There are more than 4 million adult websites on the Internet, and they get more traffic than Netflix, Amazon and Twitter combined.
#24 70 percent of Americans do not “feel engaged or inspired at their jobs”.
#25 When LBJ’s “War on Poverty” began, less than 10 percent of all U.S. children were growing up in single parent households. Today, that number has skyrocketed to 33 percent.
#26 In 1950, less than 5 percent of all babies in America were born to unmarried parents. Today, that number is over 40 percent.
#27 According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, there are 20 million new cases of sexually-transmitted disease in the United States each year.
#28 Today, the United States has the highest STD infection rate in the entire industrialized world.
#29 According to a survey that was just released within the last 30 days, only 29 percent of Americans want to cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood even after all of the shocking undercover videos that were released this year.
#30 America has the highest rate of illegal drug use on the entire planet.
#31 Doctors in the United States write more than 250 million prescriptions for antidepressants each year.
#32 One survey of 50-year-old men in the U.S. found that only 12 percent of them said that they were “very happy”.
#33 Every single year, the United States has the largest trade deficit in the entire world by a very wide margin. But most Americans still don’t seem concerned that thousands of businesses and millions of good jobs have been leaving our country.
#34 As you read this article, there are 102.6 million working age Americans that do not have a job.
#35 We are supposed to have a government “of the people, by the people, for the people”, but only 25 percent of all Americans know how long U.S. Senators are elected for (6 years), and only 20 percent of all Americans know how many U.S. senators there are in total.
#36 On average, we have been stealing more than 100 million dollars from future generations of Americans every single hour of every single day since Barack Obama entered the White House.
HARDER! FASTER! DEEPER!

That is a very scary picture
Just another America hating article.
Nothing unusual here,.
But maybe America is the most evil nation the eath has ever seen and does need total annihilation to make the world a great and peaceful place again, one more like the Communist or African nations.
The world would be so much better if we were gone, if only we could have never happened in the first place.
Give it some thought.
Mr. Snyder is nuts. Every one of his points has a logical explanation as to “why”, or can be refuted altogether. I shall do so for yeeew.
#1 –(fattest population) ….. Americans are smart! We know the shit will hit the fan. We are simply stocking up body fat for the future lean years.
#2—(38% child obesity) ……. We have seen pictures of starving Ethiopian and Biafran children. We decided that’s a nasty look. So, sue us.
#3—(obesity rate doubling) …… Fat is the new normal. We should not stop until every one of us is a fatfuk. Remember, lean years are a coming. .
#4—(293 minutes watching TV) …… Fuckoff, at least we’re not eating. We’re watching science shows, nature shows, history shows, and documentaries and will soon be the smartest people on the planet.
#5—(10 hours daily using electronic device) …… Hey, at least we’re not spending 10 hours a day jerking off like the Russkies and Chinks. Well …. most of us aren’t.
#6—(40,000 murders on TV) ….. If we reach 80 years of age, we’ve lived 700,800 hours. Do the math. That’s only 1 murder every 17.5 hours. That’s very acceptable, especially since I think about murdering a Joo lawyer every 30 minutes.
#7—(10k hours playing video game) …… Video games teach hand-eye coordination. This will come in handy when TSHTF, and we have to kill bankers, politicians, and Joo lawyers.
#8—(dead last in numeracy) …… What the fuck is “numeracy”?? That’s probably why we’re dead last..
#9—(highest paid public employee is football coach) …… So what! Who should be the highest paid? Someone in the DMV??
#10—(lowest percentage of middle class wealth) …… Jesus said the love of money is the root of all evil. This just proves the country is becoming more and more Christian every day.
#11—(50% do not save a single penny) ….. Again, Jesus said not to lay up treasure where moth and rust destroy. In two or three years this entire country will be Christian.
#12—(highest incarceration rate) ……. Misleading numbers. Remove Kneegrows and Beaners from the equation and we have the LOWEST incarceration rate on the planet.
#13—(25% of global incarceration) ….. Once again, it’s da Kneegrows and Beaners.
#14—(police killed 1,100 people in 2014) …… They should have ducked..
#15—(1 in 6 young Americans steal) …… Pfffft. Six out of six politicians steal. At least kids stop
when they become adults.
#16—(USA leads in car thefts) ……. Fact: more than 80% of car thefts are unlocked cars. Lock your fuckin’ car, fer Chrissakes!!!
#17—(70% of married men cheat) ……. Blowjobs ain’t cheating. Remove blowjobs and the number goes down to 18%, which is the long term average over the past 5,000 years.
#18—(Americans rank 26th in life expectancy) …… The chart shows that 26th place is 78.8 years. Japan is 1st at 83.4 years. I’m supposed to worry about a lousy 4.6 years??? Have you ever seen what those old Japs look like? Like a prune left in a jar of Saki for six months.
#19–(70% on one prescription drug) …… Yeah, and 90% of that 70% are 78 year old fuckers trying to get to 83. Fuckem.
#20—(31% of food gets wasted) ….. I paid for it, I can do what I want with it. One minute Snyder is complaining about fatfuks. The next he’s complaining they don’t eat all their food. Pick just one ya dingleberry!!
#21—(60% of bachelor’s degrees went to women) ……. And this is a sign of America’s decline HOW?????
#22—(77% Of 18-30 year old Christian men view pornography at least monthly.) …….. Just MONTHLY?? Halleluiah!!! Jesus saves!!!
#23—(4 million adult websites get more traffic than Netflix, Amazon and Twitter combined) ……… That just tells me how god-awful Netflix, Amazon and Twitter must be. Besides, what’s wrong with looking at a little pussy now and then?
#24—(70% of Americans don’t feel engaged at their jobs”) …… That’s because most employers don’t let you look at a little pussy every now and then.
#25—(33% of children live in poverty) ……. So, why don’t they jet a J.O.B.?
#26—(40% of babies born to unmarried parents) …….. Kneegrows. Beaners. Injuns. Starting to see a pattern yet, folks?
#27—(20 million new cases of sexually-transmitted disease in the United States each year) …… Homos. Fags. Lesbos. Dykes. Cross Dressers. Chicks with dicks. Dickless dudes. Not my problem.
#28 –(highest STD infection rate in the industrialized world) ……… See above.
#29 –(Only 29% want to cut off federal funding for Planned Parenthood) ……. Yeah, let’s cut off the ONLY source of free condoms for millions, so we can have even more diseases and unwanted babies. That makes a lot of fuckin sense.
#30 –(highest rate of illegal drug use) ….. I have it on good authority that 90% of drug users do so just to piss off SSS.
#31 –(250 million prescriptions for antidepressants each year) …….. Most of that happens right after people read Mr. Snyder’s posts.
#32 –(Only 12% of 50 year old men are “very happy”) ……… Big Fucking Deal. I’m not “VERY” happy either. Just plain old “happy”. Happiness is waaay overrated. Contentment is better.
#33 –(USA has the largest trade deficit in the world) ………. That’s really a bigger problem for the people or countries we OWE. If you keep selling me shit I haven’t, can’t, and won’t pay for, well, Mr. Miaggi, that’s YOUR fucken’ problem, not mine.
#34 –(102.6 million working age Americans that do not have a job) …….. Take this job and shove it!!! Besides, who needs a job when Oreo and Hillcunt and Bernie promise free shit out the ass?
#35 –(only 25% know how long U.S. Senators are elected for) ……… What difference does it make “how long” when you keep electing the same motherfuckers year after year after year? The correct answer is actually “forever”.
#36—(We steal $100 million dollars from future generations every single hour of every single day) ……… Don’t give a shit. I have run all the numbers regarding Biblical prophecy. Jesus is coming back on October 29, 2019. Guaranteed. I think we should all party like there’s no fuckin’ tomorrow/
