Are we the most selfish nation on the planet?

It seems like the US has become such a damned "look at me" at all times everyday culture, and everything people do seems to be motivated by that desire to be in that position that everyone wants to look at.
Do you think this selfish culture is toxic and will lead us down a darker path?
I'm just feeling exhausted by the lack of empathy people have for other people. Its like anyone will step on anyone to get the next leg up, and then to save face they'll just put on the "charitable" side when its pleasant and easy.

We were born into the world by saying "frick off, England". What do you expect from us?

Most people are on the world, not in it—have no conscious sympathy or relationship to anything about them—undiffused, separate, and rigidly alone like marbles of polished stone, touching but separate. John Muir

That's why most countries hate our guts. Because 90% of Americans are spoiled brats who care about nobody but themselves. And of course because we are a free country. But it looks like communism will be in full force in America in about 5 or so years as well.

We give more to charities than any others.

Absolutely, I myself take this country for granted every minute of the day. Considering what other people have to do to survive everyday and here I am not struggling at all compared to probably ninety percent of the world's population.

Per capita, we're the 2nd most charitable nation on Earth. LINK
I completely disagree w/ the idea that it will lead us down a dark path.That "selfish culture" is what allowed us to be so charitable and benefit the poor so much.
The real selfish pricks in this nation that are leading us down a dark path are in government.

I don't know about selfish cause we contribute far too much to unnecessary foreign affairs. But we are the newest nation thats the most phony, built on lies, British knock off, diveded, segregated, easily enticed/influenced/lied to, ignorant....! Yeah, yeah, yeah! Cal me out but if the US were to hit a nation changing event, the world would probably change a dramatic bit.

Yes and facebook has increased the look at me culture ten fold.

We have created a culture in this country that encourages consumerism, competition and narcissism. These are all things that feed the beast, aka the human ego, and that is a recipe for an unhealthy, selfish and deeply unhappy and jaded society. We are conditioned from birth to be good little consumers, focus on our superficial wants and needs at the expense of helping and serving others. The United States has now exported this sick, selfish society around the world. It is the opposite of the encouragement of spiritual development. The human ego is kryptonite to spiritual and social evolution of the human race. Until more of humanity wakes up and comes to realize that they have been sold a bill of goods by authority figures in their life from a young age, there will not be positive social change or peace on this planet. Thankfully, it appears that there is a sizable number of people finally waking up to this fact.

That's why all the other people in the world want to come here. We have it all...land, natural resources, opportunity.

Selfies anyone? People go out of their way to dress up, pose, take a picture, post it on the Internet, and wait to get approvals. It's easy and it's instant gratification. But it's shallow and insecure. It doesn't tell you anything unique about yourself, your skill sets, you as a human being. However, I may be getting old and grumpy.

The truly selfish wouldn't even ponder the question.

The answer is no. The american people donate per capita more to charity then any other country. We also donate more services. Just becuase we have a comparable lavish lifestyle doesn't mean we aren't a charitable people.
