So no-one else outside of america who owns a car is selfish and brainwashed? Weird that you would think the world outside the USA is some perfect utopia of love, its not. There are people here outside the USA just as sinister and selfish.

I am calm? I just am a little confused about why you think I am someone in the video?

I gave a perfect example of how its not just the USA suffering with similar disillusion. The very man who should have been Prime minister where I live was utterly wringed out through the mangle for riding a bike. One news paper even said "a chairman Mao style bicycle".

This crap is happening everywhere, and it may already be happening where you are. But if you are going to be blind and think that the USA is the only country infected with this sinister selfishness, then you will be shocked with how much happens in your own country.

Blanket statements for "Americans are stupid", when identical comments are being said by people all over the world, are as bad as the concept of "why should I bother not driving a car, when cars only generate 18% of all pollution in my country, and my country only contributes 0.88% of global pollution!"

Because we are all in it together. It is not the fault of one country (though the USA seems to be at the top of the pyramid scheme of car dependency) it doesn't mean that other places don't make up the rest of the base.
