I don't hate America, it's just that I always see in the movies, these guys saying "America is the greatest country in the world!". Maybe economically that's true, but it's just annoying to hear Hollywood drill their patriotic theory into us non-American folk.
Just my opinion.
Jethro,

I have to agree about us always patting ourselves on the back and saying how great we are. That's unfortunate that we don't really consider other countries as good. I agree with the points that sometimes it's better to be just a little more humble.

Bimmer's comments about being from the Middle East is well taken, and even heard. Buy why is it that everytime an Arab person speaks he is filled with so much anger? I am American of Italian and Arab decsent... (only a small party =)) However, America is made up of so many different people. Everything from Arabs, Africans, Mexicans, Chineese - we can go on forever. America is not as bad as the world thinks.

It's a good place to live... is it the best? Who knows..most Americans have not travelled as much as other people from other countries. I have been to many countries and I sort of like New Zealand, but I still like the good old USA.

Another thing is why do so many people from other countries come to the US and bitch about it? GO BACK!

Ciao!
