They don't make America look bad, they make the television network that gave them a show look bad for doing it in the first place. As far as the family goes, they're the quintessential example of the American dream...that being that anyone can succeed. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that and since I can choose not to watch the show I have nothing bad to say about them at all.Question: What's your opinion on Honey Boo Boo and her family?
Now I know some people will say they dumb and stupid and makes America or well the south whatever look dumb. But how dumb is the fact that the mom is putting the money in a trust fund they can't even get until they are 18? How dumb is a family who believes that family should come first? How bad can a family be who is anti-bullying? How bad is a family who helped families who couldn't get stuff for Christmas? They are good people and honestly if that's what makes America looks bad, then I wonder what makes America look good.
However, I do have a couple of things to say about your points. First of all, putting the money in a trust fund until the kids are 18 is very foolish. That money should be in a low-risk, long-yielding return mutual fund that matures when the kids are about 35 or 40, which will pretty much set them for life and be given to them at a time when they're less likely to blow it all. Second, if you're wondering what makes America look good, how about better examples of people throughout history like Martin Luther King Jr, a man who promoted peace and equality for all people. Or maybe Richard Feynman, the American physicist who practically re-invented science? How about Norman Borlaug, the man who saved more than a billion people's lives by cross-breeding wheat? There are countless examples of people in your country's history that make it look good, so I wouldn't be so quick to use the Boo Boo's as an example :
