Come on d00d, don't going throwing semantics at me to teach me a lesson in patriotic responsibility. For starters, for all you know I could be a foreign national which would make the use of "they" extremely appropriate.
But I'm not. I'm a born and bred US citizen that does not write the checks for my country. When Congress passes a law, I don't say "we" passed a law, I say "they" passed a law. When the US Supreme Court renders a decision, I say "they" rendered the decision. And when the government pays the bills for the debt of the nation, I say "they" pay the bills. Sorry if that offends you. Just remember that those things that offend you only make you weaker.
But if it makes you feel better, please know that I served in the Air Force for "our" country and believe "our" country has the most to offer of any nation on earth. I just have a "weakness" in that I get offended when people try to teach me a lesson about my patriotic responsibilities.
