A long story of Americans The tenth page

Be up to one's neck in debt


Americans don't seem to understand what is meant by checking park. They pay attention to and play even on the brink of luxury, personal, so the whole society.
America vast territory and abundant resources, to be richly endowed by nature, industry and commerce developed, material supply flow like water, whether to eat, wear, use, play, have everything that one expects to find. Take the food store for nearly thirty years, the development trend of beauty country is the supermarket, that can be found everywhere the so-called "neighborhood grocery store", now already pin Lian Ji, the place was business (or sale) center,
　　
Each center has at least a supermarket, a department store, a pharmacy, a hardware store, the supermarket is filled with every kind of groceries.
Wear things such as clothes, T-shirt socks tie, is a row of a display in a clothing store, for people to enjoy, treat people to buy. The Americans also pay attention to dress, especially the women wear clothes Chang, almost every year, every season the fresh style to the customers, for them to acquire. America in recent years generally implement so-called credit card system, buy food and clothes to buy furniture, buy a house to buy a car buy a various appliances can use the credit card, make people purchase first and give money, so, many people satisfy their desires, often wages have not arrived, has already been spent, food and clothing for people to purchase, imperceptibly into a lead a luxurious and dissipated life habits, not buy, do not when flowers, is designed to meet the individual material desires. The so-called greedy only a momentary enjoyment, regardless of how the outcome of future.
Therefore, Americans usually work to make money, almost no one not in debt, and capsule "shame"! A young boy university has not graduated, he took a summer a credit to his father's card, indulge in the wildest fantasy, in the airline tickets, travel to Europe, stay at the best hotels, eat the best food, listen to the best theater performance, then, happily returned home in the. Until his father received credit card companies send bills to look, be startled at, questioning, that is the son to take his name to a European, spent a total of $3000 million!
Americans seem to have a special liking to borrow. They never to borrow and lend more shame,
You trust bank. So, the house is borrowing to buy (payment), the car is also, not to speak of those daily necessities and necessary "imported goods". They earn will flower, flower is really don unrestrained. Often a full regardless of family, often under the Dayton Dayton eat whatever. In their eyes seem to do not spend money is a fool. A lot of money to spend, not the money in advance of the roof support out. Word is the advance consumption, but will eat next year's food. According to statistics, America everyone owed $20000, can be said to be heavily in debt, but America talent does not keep that in mind. should be Chinese saying: not biting louse.
Civilians in debt can not get excited over a little thing, it is unbelievable USA president also owe
Debt. Nixon 50 time to run for vice president when he was in his debt announcement on TV: California housing 10000 dollars; Washington housing $20000; Washington Riggs bank $ 4500 $3500; owe their parents; life insurance of $500 in debt.
All debts USA, overall image in the world and how? Indeed, American is high
Degree developed super powers, but it is also the largest debtor nation. According to statistics, the cumulative 1991, external debt
For $6640. Allocated to each America head, is about $26250000, plus $20000 in personal debt, it is heavily in debt.

Greedy Huai, gambling, drug


It seems can not simply say that the Americans are a nation alcohol, unlike the British pubs are as much alcohol also, unlike Britain who like to drink. But say they drink, I'm afraid it is not too much. about drinking, should by the way of a proposed American social. A guest (friend) home for dinner, common to a "cocktail". The guests entered the locker, place, masters advanced. But most people drinking is often a strong wine, alcohol content of about 86% on average, or drink Wine or beer alcohol content, but which is not small. After three drinks, owner greeted the guests on the table to eat, but eat, often with Wine. After dinner, and
　　
The so-called "after dinner wine", the common used mostly cognac, brandy or Coffee flavor or mint liqueur, the alcohol content and spirits such as whisky or almost Scotland wine or American produced "Boban article" similar. People will be drinking might also be able to cope with, not to drink after this time "alcohol tests", many days slow not strength.
In addition to treat, the restaurant dinner is the same style, in addition, USA big city of wine museum buildings, each pub every day to promote its "happy time", is the 4 p.m. to 7 people work time, to attract customers to the pub drinking pleasure. Can control their own people or not by the lure of hotel, or resistance but friends feelings, accompany him (or her) to the hotel to drink a cup two cup respectively go home; but the Americans there are a considerable number of intemperance himself, then gradually form a habit, become an alcoholic is can read.
In western countries, France, Italy, Spain is famous for its wine, particularly in France, almost everyone drinking, some people often satirical French, said their children will not nurses will eat wine. But the statistics about drinking and alcoholism, USA more than France, to be world countries most drinkers.
If only Liuhe color, America is all the nations are betting countries. For many years, it has become the most basic American "what should be", not only women and children, and all involved in. America Liuhe color by the government. Across the country, in addition to Utah and Hawaii two states
Outside, the other states state will always enjoy it month after month and year after year.
New York Liuhe color play is the first lottery sale offices to fill orders, 54 numbers to get rich overnight allowed to one of the best 6 number to blacken, paid by computer play with the optional number of lottery and the buyer hopes Chuai back. New York Liuhe color 5 cents can fill a award, is also playing a back, 6 digital if the numbers with the organizer regular TV shake out in exactly the same, the winners will be the moment life support. Due to the edge of the win support among the people, American around the lottery sale is innumerable, almost every open in the street between the small grocery store are on sale, fruit and vegetable.
New York Liuhe color every Wednesday, Six lottery once, the starting point is the $2500000 bonus,
If nobody, bonuses are accumulated until someone in the list. So, once which states continued for several times without winning, bonus number must be accumulated to be struck with fright. Every time, the good news will spread across the country. In those days, the state must also have foreign vehicles in the streets searching lottery sale. More rich and individual foreign consortium after the winning probability actuarial was frightful to the ear to send money over to buy special articles.
American gambling thing is generally not attack, which is not only a "public opinion"
Problems, including tax serious matters USA government, ignore this point is cut off sources. Take the recent example, in the 1992 years, the total income of lottery selling states across the United States reported $11500000000, than the national territory day into Gold Casino has a higher income 14 billion, the gambling revenue for the crown.
But compared with the real gambling, Liuhe color is a piece of cake. USA state legislation is different, some allow gambling, some don't. A variety of gambling model
Like, a casino, horse racing, greyhound racing, buy a lottery ticket. There are all kinds of gambling casinos, the most simple is called the "slot machine", USA called "one armed bandit". This is a machine coins, activity sounds like a tiger chewing, and always eat less, vomit, so called "tiger machine". There is a large machine, filled with coins, the machine does not stop sliding, put the money to the edge, the other coin crowded groove, coin crowded groove more win. Gambling poker, roulette who All seats are occupied.

USA got three famous Casino: one is the famous Las Vegas, including Hua Dazhou, another is the same in reno. The bright younger generation of the state of New Jersey in the Atlantic city is also a .
In order to attract gamblers, casino, tax one's ingenuity is rack sth.. Las Vegas is the construction of a large number of luxury hotels, such as the 4000 room "sword", a subtropical flavor "Jin Ou", Arabia's "magic lamp", "black triangle shape of the Pyramid". The room price is low, eat also not expensive, generally have a buffet. These favorable conditions, the purpose is to you.
Many travel agencies have luxury bus, is responsible for the gamblers to the casino, the car is free, the only one, three hour.
Because of the convenient conditions, although located in Las Vegas, the desert, to bet on the stream of people still The stream never stops flowing. According to the newspaper, reached 2500 million people every year to Las vegas.
The people who came here, very few can resist the temptation of gambling. Slot machine coins have Dangdang ringing, ringing continuously in the award, just or pauper, in the twinkling of an eye became millionaires, what a great temptation, in fact, the casino is the adventurer. Gambling machine by computer to set good program. Probably tens of thousands of personnel have a lottery. The reason is very simple, if the casino boss do not make money, he opened the casino? If no winner, who would dare to patronize? According to statistics, the average American spends $4500 in gambling, 1983 years, the gambler lost to the casino
45800000000 dollars, 9 casinos in the Atlantic is only a profit of $1800000000. In recent years, American legitimate
The total bet gambling rise directly to a high position. In 1988 was $210000000000, 1993 increased to $394000000000, 1994 years, people used for gambling money have reached US $482000000000, than the number of gamblers
In 1986 increased 7600000. Illegal gambling in $30000000000 a year. "Games and gambling USA"
Magazine, 1992, money flow American gaming market reached US $350000000000, more than USA the defense budget (2900 billion), equivalent to the annual food spending half of americans. The gambling operators to make a profit of $39900000000. "Las Vegas, fiscal revenue
80% from the gambling industry, the city of the Atlantic's gambling industry can bring in $2000000000 a year for the state government
Tax.
Statistics published American "gaming magazine" shows: the young gambler has 1300000 people, occasionally play boy 700 million people. Half of the students at the American University in gambling,
68% of the students have gambling related problems. America news agency warned that, after seven or eight years American
The emergence of one to two gamblers may average each family. The president in Washington at the beginning of the founding, has denounced the gambling is "greedy infant cradle, evil,
The harm arch-criminal". However, today's American, on increasing wind, it was a compulsive gambler, China
Washington President underground is the spirit, not knowing what to do. Another America government headache is the problem of drug, now, America has become the world's largest
Drug market.
Global illicit production of heroin has been more than 4000 tons, is two times that of 1986 output. Sold in the American street heroin purity from 7% 10 years ago to the current 36%. The annual $4000000000 to 10000000000 in American retail heroin value. The drug to poison goods trafficking into the USA, together with their America domestic drug crime. Foreign drug traffickers to raw materials and semi-finished products shipped America, America drug traffickers to the processed by hand sell. Drug traffickers to 1 kilograms of heroin get, divided into the plastic bags, each bag is only 5% of the heroin, the rest are sugar and quinine powder. This method can be used to make the price more than doubled.
At the beginning of twentieth Century, American addict of about 500000 people, most of them are middle-class white women, with an estimated 1994 years, America heroin addict about 60
　　
Million. After the Second World War, the city became the main eater. During the Vietnam War, the military officer corps and middle-class white youth to become the main eater. Now, smokers have to the development of the middle and upper classes trend, drugs are mostly rich. Many of them are millionaires, billionaires, movie stars, sports stars and politicians. They have the money, get the drugs, the drug to seek stimulation. rich pay the high cost drugs, the American drug market business very. 1 kilos of heroin in Afghanistan from $750, to America soared to $15 million.
Work, life stress and anxiety, dissatisfaction with the status quo of society, spiritual emptiness, loneliness is the main reason to make addicts increase with each passing day. In addition, a considerable part of USA youth agree that smoking is virus is a kind of fashion. In USA, youth drug use is very common. Individual schools, one in five drug addicts. They even laughed at the students, those who did not take the drug in USA, not fashionable youth or some, proud. However, some children because of ignorance and fashionable, often in fourteen at the age of five began to heroin and cocaine. The most common is smoking can be heard the soft crackling sound, called a "crack" (crack) drugs, relatively low price, but addictive fast. As long as a addiction, the child.
The drug most children in the home is very rich, there are a number of dealers in western society, especially to the children, their money. These dealers stood at the gate of the school, the child science, coax them said: "a time to play, not the money." However, these same children suck time want to absorb second times, just like soon addicted, and can not get rid of.
According to the American law, drug traffickers arrested will be sentenced to life imprisonment. Drug dealers will make fifteen six
Years old children in the streets and lanes of selling drugs, even if caught, due to minor, also sentenced to life imprisonment without the. These small drug traffickers week earn the equivalent of a middle-class workers a month income. They have nothing to spend money on, interested in drugs, addiction. It is said that a teenager spends money on drugs at least $10 to 30 . Rich fashion, if no money, forcing them to work for major drug traffickers or steal, rob, girls in prostitution.
America soldiers also There are plenty of people who. According to America Defense Department statistics, in three years because of drug use
Dishonorable discharge of up to more than 5 people. America law to treat drug trafficking are not very strict, but he also catch drug traffickers, put them in prison, but caught only some small dealers, real big boss is not catch. Some major drug traffickers and police cooperation, money spoils, on the other , also have the bribery. A customs official said, every year from Miami into the USA international passengers reached 6000000 to 7000000, estimated in the drug is not less than 5000 , can be a year to catch
To 92.

Hei Nu Yu day


Black is soaked in blood and tears and disgrace and set foot on American land. They were treated as slaves from Africa plunder and auction to American and British North America almost simultaneously to immigration. More than 400 years , black misery and humiliation, legion. Early in the civil war when many white ashamed of racial discrimination. Recorded and described the black misery, when the number of white writers Stowe's novel "Uncle Tom's cabin" (also translated as "Uncle Tom's cabin"), Allison's novel "invisible man" and Harry's "root" the most exciting.
Incidentally, America history marked a turning point in two large black fate happened in 60 years, one hundred years apart. The outbreak of the American history only a civil war in nineteenth Century 60 , leading the war president Lincoln to power down the ages, his Emancipation Proclamation as American declaration of independence in the history of shine. USA North South reunification completed, but in the south,
　　
The Negro is still legal segregation state in the white community. They live, school, employment, basic necessities of life are discriminated against, the vote also disguised deprived. Three K party arbitrary killing black outrages emerge in an endless stream. After World War Two, affected by the national independence movement, USA blacks in the national struggle for equal rights. This struggle is a black pastor Martin Ruud Kim led. They take a sit in protest against discrimination, and non violence. But results is not obvious. In twentieth Century 60 time, against the development of black spontaneous violent struggle, and lead to armed uprising trend, caused by a piece of white society. Martin Ruud Kim was this was killed. However, it is he and black people's blood to arouse the whole society's sense of justice. In the wave of National People's denunciation of racial persecution, the federal and state governments were forced to make step, the social status of blacks are obviously improved.
However, all the above does not mean that America no racial discrimination. If say, black into the restaurant often like to eat into the corner is influenced by traditional ideas, then, the black unemployment rate 3 times higher than the white population, while in the employment of blacks in nearly half as helpers, when cooly and engaged in agriculture. Another black infant mortality is 2 times that of the white, 30% of black live under the poverty line and so on is not black itself problem. Black innocent victims of the incident is still heard. The activities of the party in 1986 three K 60 , I do not know how many blacks. In short, racial consciousness and traditional still exist, this is the cruel fact, in Washington, the black area and white area across the street, there is a world of difference. On one side is the palatial homes, surrounded by flowers, one side is the run down houses, look stupefied black head and the old lady sitting on the threshold?? even the black city long to contrast the glare of the incapable of action. This is not only a local problem, widespread throughout the country.
In New York, there had been a national shock. There are 3 black youths to exclude
Automobile fault, into the white area for help, do not think they were a group of white youths siege. White people shouted: "kill these niggers!" That is a black death. New York mayor admits, this he is serving 9 years in "the most terrible event", "in the South slave applied lynching heavy play". The malignant event reminder: racial discrimination is rooted in USA far from eradicated. It is in this background, in January each year to commemorate the special grand USA Martin Ruud Kim activity and thermal lie. On that day, the church, the school's "Liberty Bell" ringing. But there are 12 state government to boycott the commemorative activities.
Since 80 time, in American campus in new segregation is very serious. This party
Surface mainly in the following three situations: one is due to segregation of blacks and Whites live separately by the school. Nearly 20
Years, with a large number of whites moved to outside the city and suburbs, blacks in urban public schools in
The proportion of more and more high. In the New York and Boston area, some public schools is almost uniform of black students, in recent years, some middle-class blacks began to move to the suburbs. But often they foreleg, white foot out. Finally, the region has become a black belt, the school here will also become black students in majority of school.
Another reason is the majority of students enrolled in lower class blacks caused the school segregation. School officials say, the placement is determined by the standard test. Results are often more than 50% black students students were incorporated into the low class, while white students accounted for only 10% more. Black scholars think, this is actually a form of apartheid.
Another is due to apartheid in increasing enrollment levels caused by the school. In 1984 the United States owned 39 a state by law provides for the establishment of the university entrance exam requirements, applicants must have learned 3 years to 4 years of higher mathematics and natural science and two foreign language etc.. But the reality
　　
Is a public school or white many black high school students accounted for the majority in the black majority middle low class learning does not come into contact with some of the courses which register to attend the university entrance exam, no beginning.
It should be said, in recent years American in school desegregation formulated a number of laws and provisions, and achieved some success. However, in general American racial discrimination is still quite stubborn and penetrated into all aspects, USA campus is still shrouded in the shadow.

Be always on tenterhooks


A report released by the Ministry of justice America pointed out: America occur annually in the workplace violence there are about 1000000 cases, accounting for the violent crime 1/6, which accounted for 7% of rape, robbery
Accounted for 8%, accounted for 16% of violent attacks, these violent cases, 10% involved guns. The report pointed out, the average annual number occurs in the workplace crimes in 1987 to 1992 years:
Mild violence -- case 615160, injured 89572 people.
Severe violence -- case 26417, injured 48180 people.
-- rob case 79109, 17904 person to get hurt.
-- rape case 13060, killing 3438 people and hurt.
Only a year in 1990, according to statistics, 19 city, 23200 Americans were killed in the murder. Theft 15900000, 340 million cases of violent crime. 56.9 people are victims of every 1000 people. So that the Americans have to send out regrets: the ratio of the Persian Gulf 100 hours ground war death toll numbers we youth was killed in the street every 100 hours by more than 8 times.
Violent crime America, political murder, explosions, hijacking etc.. This often and internal
Political system, the factions, but also the relationship between racial, ethnic, religious and other issues closely. America once many times had to kill the president events. Of course, this also and American throughout the world in dry pre in the internal affairs of other countries, too many enemies have direct relationship. In addition, juvenile gang crimes America has posed a huge threat to USA society. These young people to show their man, often caused violent crime. Fighting, drunkenness, rape, robbery, assault guns, no car, so USA campus crime rate also rise directly to a high position. In American, domestic violence crime has also increased. Because of marital discord, because the property, because the child, the family often USA beacon four, divorce, fierce kill, and put the child as a tool to vent. Due to various reasons, the Americans Dutch act has become the people's mind is not scared of the phenomenon. In 1978, the Peoples Temple 913 collective Dutch act. In 1993, 87 members of the branch Davidian sect Waco estate in the inferno, of which 25 have children. The two because religious fanaticism caused by the collective Dutch act event, which caused a strong vibration in the USA. People not only ask, is this why? To America affluence, standard of living has attained superior, why would people tired of life, to Dutch act. The reason for the violence, which has the profound social Q questions, there are national belief crisis.
According to statistics, the average every 4 seconds American occurred pick pocketing case; every 28 seconds a car theft; every 48 seconds with serious personal injury case; every 58 seconds a robbery took place; every 6 minutes with the rape. Violent crime in the world.
In such a multiple crime environment, in order to ensure the personal and property safety, Americans buy insurance, buy a variety of insurance, such as for the wealthy is kidnapped, Le cable line; two is the body and at home doesn't put money, full use of credit card; three "The defence is iron-clad.", general home through the security system and the police. Even so, the Americans out is still be always on tenterhooks, rarely go out alone at night. As for the woman, must carry on the spray gas,
　　
Powder like, in order to prevent lady-killer attack.

Shot


In USA, gun is a big problem. 48% of households have a gun, the 43% gun is carry loaded guns.
Can you believe that? Average every 2 minutes to murder case, throughout the year in the twenty thousand to last. About half of them belong to the shot, which is about 22 minutes have died in a gun. About 65 Americans died in the shooting day. But only a year in New York, there were more than 4000 people were shot . But Washington, almost "every night of murder, everywhere has the drug". This is not what alarmist, but official statistics of the Federal Bureau of investigation. Moreover, this figure also continue to rise. According to the 1994 report showed that, in the non normal death, shooting only after the car accident, ranking the second place.
In this country, died in the shooting is simply too common. There have been 10 assassination of president, the
4 killed in. The old people is not to mention, impossible to guard against, always worried about the unexpected trouble, how can not be always on tenterhooks? In one billion people 2.53 countries, scattered in folk guns there
220000000, has been close to the shot level. In order to unsafe famous city of New York, a police told the man said: "I to nordstrand street patrol, if any checks four pedestrians, quasi two body with." Young people seem to be no exception. In a big city, once, two junior high school students for robbing a 10 year old child waiting for buses and police arrested; observation found that one of the waist with a 0.22 - caliber revolver, another handbag is equipped with a 0.38 - caliber revolver. In 1993, a material that, there are 10 more than the students brought a gun to school, some schools have set up device inspection guns like airport security check door that at the door.
A live in American middle-aged Frenchman once said such a sentence: "in American, buy
A pistol even easier than buying a hamburger." Of course it is a bit of an exaggeration, but it is not real. All American 150000 sell gun stores or dealers, the year sales of 200 million, an average of less than one minute a sold. There is no national laws limit the sale of guns . In some states, want to buy a gun, had to go to the police station to obtain a permit. However, as long as no criminal record and non psychiatric disorders, can get the certificate. But in many other states, even this limit is not. As long as you show me your driving license to prove that you are the local people can buy a gun, and it department store to buy a toy almost.
Hamilton of New Jersey, a small town, there was a man named Harry opened a sporting goods business
Shop, he often have 400 pistols, 1500 to 2000 shotguns and 500000 bullets for sale, 1500000 yuan a year trade sell guns bullets to account for 1/3. And his state or to buy guns to take restrictive measures, obtained from the police where a license is 30 to 90 days. Even so, a year he has sold more than 800 pistol, the average price of 170 yuan each, the business is getting better and better. People buy pistol but three purposes: to robbery and murder, for self-defense, or to.
Then, the average American is to see how this problem? Many people think, violent crime rate is high and the folk USA pistol too much direct contact. He
We insist on strict control of guns, they consist of many groups to the whole society, members of Congress to call, urge to pass laws to achieve this aim.
However, another part of people think, owning a gun is USA the early tradition, should keep constitution, people have the freedom and right to carry and keep weapons. Some people think
　　
Only they have the society in this dangerous gun to protect your own safety. This part also has its own organization tight will oppose gun control.
Two forces Each sticks to his own stand., debate, several decades of history. Some state or city, the advocate of gun control in the parliament advantage, through some restrictions on the sale and carry order method. However, a nationwide regulation pistol law is always pass.
Interestingly, in the different views of the debate in 1981, at the two shot Reagan president did not stand in the requirements or the prohibition of private weapons opinion this side, he take opposition, said the "bill of rights" is explicitly given the freedom of the individual, may not infringe upon the. Look, this gunfire had not made the president alert. Until 1993, President Clinton signed the gun "the Brady bill". The bill so Brady's name, because cloth Reddy himself was wounded in the Reagan assassination, cause lifelong paralysis, so he became a gun control act most loyal, the most famous, the most persuasive propaganda. However, "the Brady act" provisions only gun buyers must apply, accept the background investigation, waiting for 5 days, to get approval, to get the gun. Is just a procedure, this procedure can stop the who? Ironically, bill passed soon, in a railway train to New York in Long Island, with a black with automatic pistol to the carriage in the crowd, causing 20 casualties. The murder weapon was bought in California, the most stringent gun control through legal procedures.
By the end of 1993, the Manhattan center in New York's Times Square, to establish a three floor size
Digital imaging plate, used to the number of daily statistics of USA shot. This was known as the "bell" imaging plate enabled from 1994 New Year's day, is a rich merchant Brennan donated 100 million dollars to build. Such "the bell" may sound an alarm for Americans with guns.

The prisoner of Paradise


This is a well-proportioned, artistic architecture, modern sculpture and lush flowers and trees Yanying, quiet elegant. There are fully equipped Clinic, library, stadium, swimming pool, gym, bowling room and recreation room. The people living here have a single room, some live collective dormitory. With TV, audio, video equipment, comfortable and elegant furniture and some room , filled with the warmth of family?
Read the text, you might think that here is a sanatorium, or nursing home. If you
So guess, that is completely mistaken. This is a prison. America prison conditions Is it right? World most can make nothing of it, it's comfortable enough. It all
No heavily-guarded big iron gate, dark and thick. Of course, none of these does not mean
A free access. Here with advanced alarm system, no prisoners go one step beyond. "Prison" light is very good, has a large glass window, but the window does not open, the glass is not bad, that is 2 inch thick special glass, deal with it with an axe, a hammer, probably in vain.
The cell is about 8 square meters, a desk and a chair, a toilet and bathroom. How to decorate the room , still American tradition, still allowing for their own personal interests. Cosmetics, perfume, can be moisturizing cream like, also can hang himself admired singer star photos, and even body naked pictures of women, the prison authorities do not interfere.
The prisoner can go to school in prison, can read novels, can watch TV, go on holiday, but also to see the drama and other literary show. Every day the prisoners to their relatives to talk for 3 minutes. Also can make long distance, but the other party to the payment, no time limit. If it is talk about the case and the lawyer, is "business", is limited in time. Monday to Friday for the family members to visit the number of time, not exceeding
　　
Over three people, time in an hour. Some prisoners in prison also allows the spouse in a period of time and made them, spend the night. This is a humanitarian considerations, in order to make the probation sentence, or let the family members to "experience life", we can make nothing of it.
So the prison USA how many? American crime is a high rate of be known to all. Digital prison no less. New York alone has can accommodate 500 people above scale prison 20 multi seat. Detainees
Nearly 3 more than the prisoner. City level prison sentences within a year. Long to lifelong prison to the state and federal prison in the prison. The beauty of the prison with many prisoners? Statistical 1989 years, only state prisons have detainees more than 64, more than 6 federal prison. In 1990 the national prisoner 1100000, average every 10 million people in 455 people. Prison overcrowding, the government had to $4000000000 for new prisoners. On average, USA prison cost expenses every prisoner head about 10 million. With the money in housing supply, real estate price expensive lots of gold to buy "two bedroom". Each prisoner to eat, live and management costs, the annual cost of up to 6 million. No wonder the taxpayer spray sound USA four. Indeed, these harms social harm people do not know how many prisoners to spend public money, living conditions of their far is far better than the slums and the bum on the street, so unfair, not equal to encourage people to crime?

Sexual freedom and sexual perversion


Americans are quite open in nature, the same as everyone known knowledge in USA and daily necessaries, no mystery. Said it is be hardly worthy of belief, wearing T shirts that can be printed on the "holiday for love" swagger through the streets. Cohabiting fairly general times, never been criticized, they do not hide the relationship. Married men and women, generally otherwise heterosexual friends, lover phenomenon meet the eye everywhere. American few people ', even' for shame. Such a case occurred in New York: the wife and husband affair, the extramarital stealing recorded, a lawyer accused wife. The result, he thought of winning as sure as a gun case has failed, the reason is secretly recorded conversations of others is illegal, not as a basis for. But he should compensate the other party for attorney fee 3000 yuan. Thus, what is USA legal protection.
In concept, the Americans still have two kinds of understanding, one is "the orthodox morality",
Advocates of sexual relationship between men and women must be established on the basis of marriage; and the other is the "self made" that both men and women, "as long as it is not intentionally harm others", can happen sexual relationship with anyone . People hold the first opinion mostly by the elderly, the orthodox morality in USA more and no market, possession of absolute advantage of freedom in the American in youth. Due to the difference in understanding the , premarital sex, young girls, teenage mothers training class, an extramarital affair, divorce rate and increase prostitution. At the same time, gay, children love the ratio is also rising. American sex guru Dr. Kinsey wrote in his investigation, in American whites, 92% men and women with 62% sexual masturbation experience; 80% of men and 40% of women had premarital sexual behavior; a gay experience of men accounted for at least 1/3; in the middle, 50% more than 26% husband and wife had have sex outside of marriage; people now have premarital sex is higher than 90%.
Points out sociologist Robert Sorensen in his 1973 report "contemporary American adolescent sexual behavior", he interviewed 16 to 19 year olds, 72%
And the 57% girls have no virgin. In order to prevent AIDS, USA school take out insurance set of practices, caused a great disturbance in a field. Married couples are not having an affair, out of a meeting, tourism, vacation is an important place for the development of an affair. Some couples reached a tacit agreement, not dry involving each other's life. What is more, America a marriage partner swap trend, two pairs of husband

Woman to reach an agreement, swap positions, they think that this approach can not only meet the couples looking for other sexual partners, economic relations and keep the stability of family and in the society's dignity. Reportedly, in American hotel has rooms by the hour. Sexually frustrated husband and wife with a "Saturday review" or underground newspaper personal ads everywhere to seek new rivals. Who knows what the main activity place where can find to couples exchange meeting. One of the important factors of the rising divorce rate is an affair. at present, American every two couples, the divorce or divorce after a re combination. Prostitution in attenuation and several decades ago, but freedom advocates that prostitution is more open. so home, 500000 children, 80% reduced to men and women.
USA nowadays also blew up a "cyclone Madonna", her a plate of "pornography" music video and "sex" album made her become the second "sexy star after Marilyn Monro". Book pictures including male to female sexual abuse, sexual abuse of female to male, Madonna and the old and the young, Madonna and the black men and women "sandwich" lens, Madonna and dog. The book issued more than 500 million copies. People describe her boyfriend replacement speed "like changing clothes in general". Worship Americans worship of sexy star even more than the Oscar winning actor.
If consciousness, this freedom is enough shocking concept, then the Americans, a perversion is even more shocking, even turn one's stomach.
In 70, America homosexual men accounted for 4 - 6% of the population, gay women accounted for 2
3%. In 80, both of which have been on the rise. Reportedly, lesbian rise higher than the male. Many sick men of violence to the gentle sex to meet. A gay woman, is a black, the "husband" is a white woman. Two not only together, also officially made the marriage registration held at a church, in the wedding, many gay friends to compliment. Her "husband" behavior is like a man, wearing jeans, short hair, speak gruff, stop smoking, even walking posture is like a man. They care for each other, really like a very deep feelings. The woman said she "husband" gentle and considerate, non discrimination, she is a woman, she felt very satisfied, they often attend the gay party. San Francisco is America with homosexuals "capital", the gay population of the city of (700000) 1/10. Last Sunday she and "husband" every 6 months have rushed to San Francisco, to participate in the "gay Freedom Day Parade" and various activities. "Gay Freedom Day Parade" began in 1969, the conflict in New York's wine gay gay gay and police, sparked protests for 4 days, and all gay solidarity and support. Then, this day has become gay "Sheng Festival", make an exhibition of oneself in the "persist in one's old ways" slogan. They believe that homosexuals are law-abiding citizens, just sex, should not be discriminated against by society. However, since 1981
In June the first AIDS cases in American homosexual, gay with number
The reduced. According to the statistics of the medical profession, about 72% of male homosexuals with aids. This is a triggered by saliva, semen, blood and other mucous "acquired immune function failure syndrome" (AIDS). The AIDS terror just reduce the number of promiscuity is not stable, not gay partners to have sex. In the community and the individual are respected intellectual circles, the number of gay continues unabated. Early in the Clinton administration will military problems facing the legalization of homosexuality, finally made a compromise, allowing the army homosexual behavior existence.
Sexual allergy behavior in recent years in the USA has the trend of development, the children love several one hundred thousand people. Many fled home children become USA society "sex toys". Massachusetts has a a captured "North American boy love Association", a premium member 350 people is the upper class, there are millionaires, Professor, star. "Association" provides 8 to 15 year old boy to them, for they play
　　
Figure. "The godfather" this book described wealthy producers. Only 12 years old, beautiful blond young girl. "Hollywood wives" a book also reveals a group of wealthy male is to put the 13 year old boy Donny sexual abuse death.
USA sexual freedom Nothing is too strange., perverts are not ashamed of your own behavior, the proud. A 32 year old citizen and a female dog held a grand wedding, friends attending the wedding of nearly 100 people, but also the newspaper trumpeted. American phone has become "the Yellow channel", some ground black organization to promote the industry dedicated telephone yellow, yellow, the man playing the past, have the woman with him the lowest obscene talk; a woman playing the past, a man. This phone call "service", America some celebrities also comments that can not be prohibited, because on the phone talking about what is a human affairs, should not intervene.
American propaganda media in order to make money, regardless of the consequences. Film and television often show the whole process of rape women and gay sex. Every city has a 1X, 2X, 3X yellow cinema, showing the most obscene film 24 hours. In 1986, Hollywood was a film rating system, G film the whole family can see; M level for adult audiences; class R restricted to people over the age of 16 to watch; X grade is below 16 years of age who were not allowed to watch at any time. However, many cinemas as long as you take the money, but no matter whether you are 16 years old or below. There is also a hue exhibition hall, each $5 coins can watch 1 minutes of hue. The performers were all women, in nature's garb, scratch first fabric, put the dirty posture to lure audiences. Some "adult" store shelves hung billboards be arranged -- different sex, gay sex, zoophilia, crazy turn, female sex, incest, oral sex and tongue make etc.. American also held a naked beauty, whenever this time, graceful bearing men tear gentle mask frantically booing, cheers, whistling. Dandy.
(Play Boy) and "flower girl" (Plav Girl) is the sexual organs and sexual intercourse between men and women
Action openly published in the picture. Media this money minded, regardless of the consequences for a person with breadth of vision also caused many America worries and attack.

Children having children


"Children having children" has become a social structure defects America "painful". 84% of the USA adults think, this is a serious national problem. According to the "times" weekly 1985 12
Published 9 month's figures, there are about 1000000 teenage pregnancy America every year, including 4/5 are unmarried
Pregnancy; pregnant under the age of 15, more than 30000 people; only some 10 years old children. them very regrets ground say: "we are still children, but the birth of." There are 15
% of young women pregnant two times within a year, 30% within two years, even with the two fetal. In 1984 the young woman
The illegitimacy rate, than in 1970 increased by 1 times. If we allow this tendency development, it is said that the 14 years old girl will have 40% pregnant at least once in the 20 before the age of.
An investigation report said, young women have sexual relations, 70 time increased 2/3, has been extended from the university campus to the school. Each of the 5 15 year old girl, a person had sexual behavior; at the age of 16, accounting for 33%; 17 year old reached as high as 43%, this kind of situation, many parents feel uneasy even when eating and sleeping American.
Children having children with high morbidity and mortality. It is not just the congenital physical defects early brings, because when the mother's young and ignorant, do not know how to look after the baby. In addition, these young age woman does not know how to control fertility, they repeatedly pregnant. According to statistics, do induced abortion women,
30% young women. To do this kind of operation in the girl is accounted for 35%. A doctor said, these women the same age of 20 to 24 year old mother, 92% are more likely to suffer from anemia, 23

% more likely to suffer from early maturity and related syndrome. Due to pregnancy and childbearing, 18 years old children girl only half completed high school, although the special secondary school has been established for them, some schools have even set up a nursery, but most of them are from the school. Their level of knowledge and ability to make a living inevitably declined. The two generation artificial growing burden. Be congenitally deficient and acquired disturbed children to American next generation -- that is USA future, a picture of what the prospects, imaginative Americans read and this will shiver all over though not cold!
"Baby boy" also expanded social welfare spending, increased America taxpayers -- equal to the entire national economic burden. American on these are pregnant or had a baby girl. help, estimated to have reached $8600000000. Illinois in 1984 to early pregnant female pay expenses
A $853000000. According to statistics, 90% of young mother lives depend more and more on social welfare. "Children having children" for social security is not how good America society, more factors trouble. There are many teenage young woman holding the babies on the streets, they
There are people forced to embark on the road of crime. Social problem is converted into a political problem. Abortion is not only the argument, but women
Women continue to fight for the rights, but so far only nine states allow fall cure. The girl can contraception, the possibility of sex education in schools, their status in the social welfare, the Black family problems and so on, are reflected in the political struggle.
It is natural to ask: what has caused such a serious problem?
Some say that is because Americans eat well, 12 - 13 years old girls will mature, two or three years earlier than the beginning of this century. But the Europeans do not necessarily than Americans eat badly, is 15 - 19 year old pregnant girl, American than method 1 times, 6 times more than Holland? Some say that social change,
In 1950 the illegitimate child accounted for 15%, the illegitimate considered disgraceful. Now it is not. 1983
Years illegitimate child has reached 50%, in some places up to 75%, unmarried pregnancy has been widely accepted by society, natural mother has to get rid of social pressure. There is an obvious change is the concept of chastity, girls indifferent. San Francisco, a research organization said: "no youth to be the virgin." Chicago has a 14 year old girl, girl friends, always asked: do you still not bad? Can see "sexual revolution", that is how deep the liberation of thought. Again, the TV in the "sexual liberation" pretext, spread a lot of sex related lens, the first awakening interest in the opposite sex children psychological adverse effects, according to the survey, each year between the audience will see this kind of scene 9000 times; and do not say evil of the spread of pornographic books and periodicals. Most people, especially women, to America pornography face adverse effects, was "very" or "fairly" uneasy.

The stars and stripes gai


USA is the richest country in the world, but also the world tramps in most countries, conservative estimates will reach 300 million. The beggar spirit can be shabby in dress, body skin burst, dirty, every day at noon, then lazily consciousness are lined up, waiting to receive a free lunch. American government this headache, spend money to build shelter, where you can take a shower, hair, eat. but Rovers used Gai don't buy it, they see the shelter for detention, there is a chance to slip away, continue to remain free, without a tie in the world of the.
Wandering in Hanzhoung, also is not lazy, among them, some are disguised beggars. Crossing the red light, the car just stopped, sometimes the people meet, they hold the T-shaped brush, on the car back and forth a brush, no matter brush clean, then you will have to put down the glass window, plug a few coins. American compassion, for the old and infirm, often willing to charity. The young force
　　
Strong Qizhe, usually a contemptuous disregard. Because of this, the young beggars often weird measures filed one after another, but sometimes backfire. A young man, in order to get people's sympathy, hang a paper card is in front of the chest, that he is an AIDS patient, sucks, no money for treatment, begging for help?? backfire, people see him, shunned, where to be obtained.
Social Nothing is too strange. American, tramp who also organized, called "the Coalition for the homeless", at its headquarters office door, there is a slogan: "every time you walk on the way home, you ought to thank God, because you have a." I do not know those homeless tramps, how does it feel and comments.
Rangers in some because of unemployment, unable to find another job, you no housing, but also can not afford to pay the rent and deposit, so I had to end up on the street. As for the life, because the government has the benefits per month, about $300, America cannot live in this, single rent are not enough, only reluctantly. This is a short street, once found work will end the vagrant life. Others are long-term homeless households, although they also have their reasons, but a considerable part because lazy, or that they like this take one's ease, remain free life and willing to stray. To stray to which year which month, God only knows.

Female tragedy


America women's status in family and society, and their status in the social occasions in the reversed.
Firstly, USA is mainly composed by the middle class society, most of the middle class
Women are married with the housework, raising children, her husband. Even to go out to work, just do some time workers. The children of adult left, they are often in the political, economic almost nothing all, have to rely on her husband. If abandoned by the husband, the situation is worse.
Secondly, equal pay for equal work between men and women. According to 1993 statistics American population survey report,
Full time work of white women pay only the men of 71%, only 65 of black women
%, while only 57% of Hispanic women. At present, American 68000000 people earning less than $ten thousand, where 2/3 is a woman. In addition, American 600 million workers earn the minimum wage, women accounted for
2/3, where 1/3 is the matriarchal family.
Third, many USA young men think, man's behavior should be intense, but the woman is weak incarnation, because of the situation with some young people, or other reasons, often through possession and strong violence women to cover up the inner emptiness, display masculinity, therefore, in the United States rape occurred every 6 minutes will be not at all surprising. According to statistics, in 1980 compared with 1960 , the rape of women by 1.7 Wan Zengzhi 82000.
The existence of America Fenling class can be said is a direct consequence of sex discrimination. In USA white society, seldom see women hold important positions, most of them as a service, as female assistant, female. Their work is regarded as a low residue, often suffer discrimination and insult. If the female secretary, in addition to the boss to secretarial work, but also responsible for cleaning, cooking Coffee etc. chore. They are often to be nuisance, if not obedient, will with all sorts of reason was fired.
In addition, caused by divorce and sexual freedom of single parent families are poor maternal family. In 1970, the family of American family total 11%, 1981 increased to 13%, every 8 households
There were 1 households. Of course, divorce involving both men and women, can not take the responsibilities of all blame the man. But away from the marriage result from single parents, the proportion of women, are often the main victims of divorce. In addition, the free lead young women increase their children born out of wedlock, after giving birth, had to

Keep house, men do not appear since the. In 1978, 56% of black children grow up without a father in the family. The poor children of 44% living in the female parents family.
Many people admired USA women everywhere respected in social situations, but not necessarily. Only from Washington is also remarkable sculpture group. In Washington the many statues works, rarely see the with women as the theme. In the Houses of Parliament 95 statues respect, only 6 are women. In 1992 the Democratic controlled Senate seats, women increased by 300%, but only 6% of the total number of all senators.

Talk with eloquence


In USA, whether in the inland river ships, in the caravan, in the camp, in the middle of fur traders, deaf ear heard all talk with eloquence. It on the altar, on the Taiwan Professor, in the Congressional conference hall also has echoes of. It infects the upper figure. Pastors, teachers and members of Congress have also joined the ranks of the talk with eloquence. Please listen to 6 months of 1858 a candidate running for the Senate in Oregon in what is said:
My fellow citizens, you if I believe that I will fail in this campaign, still be inferior to mop the waters of the Atlantic bay with a mop, or only a bridle gadfly from my feet to this section of old stump towed. My opponent is no hope, there is no hope. His mind is not in a just weight herring that. I, brethren, I am a flying Dun keep everything more. Start in yeast bubble place in the sun , if any man can conquer me, ask him to stand out -- I'm always available.


On behalf of the group USA political system, this system not patiently indulge in verbiage who co created the language, and make it full of vitality. Congress is to talk with eloquence coliseum. Members of Congress to make rhetoric during the meeting, not to the point of mutual responsory, then their learned back to the continent's own constituency.
Any language if not flexible enough, can't take less than ordinary things described as
It is quite common for the excessive, it is compliance with the moment, it will not be America language. Talk about the topic is broad theory be now open now covert familiar things in part. It blur the line between fact and fiction. This language is found and established due to urgent need, and quickly recognized by the people, it is not subject to any restrictions. It is not a developed gradually, and is as people generally require a more ready to accept either course than the current language vagueness, manner of speaking and
Popular.
Talk with eloquence is like the twentieth Century advertising terms, it is neither a true nor false false words, is very not clear heroic utterance meaning. Famous words please read Thornton 40 's nineteenth Century in Florida to publish a newspaper:
We just hit the court before the door after, a height of about 6 feet 4 inches "from the real Norbu make a hullabaloo about guy" began to burst the crosstalk: "is me, right! Mr. Billy is earthquake, everybody called me Billy, is from the mud river all the way to Norfolk over there?? you maybe don't know what kind of man Billy To tell you the truth, I was a poor eggs, this is the truth, who also smell a drowning dog."
The "make a hullabaloo about guy" is actually just the general tone slightly exaggerated. Americans speak more specifically, heard that in the old world, he is more like the "Gao Tankuo

Theory". If not be specific, not the talk with eloquence. In American life, specific and exaggeration are not definite boundaries.

Clumsy in penmanship


In America City, often see a lot of public buildings, private house evil, vehicle, signs, wall, road, subway station on the wall and so on is "graffiti" botch lose one's beyond recognition. Some guy falls in love with a girl, in her through the place, write a "Marie, I will always love you" slogan, and Confidante color painted on a love. In order to let the slogan forever, even the spray paint. The graffiti, a strange scenery America. It is common used to, be accustomed to. September 17, 1993 to 26, nearly 10 day, to a American young Singapore Tourism in 18 cars any wild paint, and destroyed 3 door of a car and a car engine, also has a collection of 6 surface to steal the flag of Singapore and some highway sign. The behavior of this young man named Michael Fay who took place in the known as "the garden country" of Singapore, this is absolutely intolerable. Singapore court in March 3, 1994 sentenced Fahey to 4 months in prison, fined $3500 and beat 6.
Is beyond all expectations, this post was originally ordinary case even in the new between stuffed into a raise a Babel of criticism of the diplomatic storm.
Singapore court ruled on the Fahey post, American officials repeatedly expressed dissatisfaction, constantly refers to
Responsibility, some officials even threatened that it would hurt the new relations between the two countries. America 42 senators to the new Singapore authorities to request Fahey pardon. This also alerted after USA President Clinton, he not only personally the position to speak, think sentencing overweight in Singapore on Fahey, especially the whip penalty is too harsh, and entreated the Singapore government whip under.
But the government did not succumb to the pressures of America, adhere to their own judicial system
Degree. Just as president Clinton claimed, the original 6 lashes minus 4.
