BM, please realize that the comment made does not reflect upon American society as a whole. Unfortunately, it's comments like that that inflame hatred towards the U.S. I have nothing but respect for people--wherever they're from. I love my country, but we are not the Alpha and Omega of this planet. I don't know anybody who is so full of themselves as to think such a ridiculous thing.
Be proud of who you are ... but remember that you are no better than anyone else.
Respectfully,
Sean
But Sean..when I said, the ones that are so proud of who they are and they FULLY believe in standing up for their country<--that doesnt mean EVERY last person in the USA....it means there are some that do act like that...
it doesnt mean ALL do....it's the same with others from other countries..they do it too...ie - I have lost count how many times I have heard a brit (not all brits) say...Long live the queen..horay for the union jack..the greatest flag in the world.....then turn around and say they hate america..and americians.....they even disrepect the americain flag....some brits have done that...and these same brits, wont stand for someone saying the same thing about them....thats just another example..
People should be proud..and I KNOW fine well that there are those who are proud and STILL respect others from other countries..this I do know
