Good to know that this is just a small portion of the world's population. Flots please come to America and live here for a few years before you pass judgement on our way of life. I won't say anything about Britian because I've never been there.
P.S. Liliara...I don't think you know what you are talking about.

KHan,
People in other nations abhor behavior like Liliara just displayed...it has their view of us on a whole based on ignorant remarks such as both of her posts displayed.
This discussion with Fljotsdale was meant to come to an understanding between all of us as to the difference between "jingoism" vs "patriotism".
Believe me, the mods here will stand up for Fljotsdale in that regard, she deserves that much respect regardless of how little I felt she showed Americans in what got the whole second page of this thread going.

tsk tsk, KHaN, even you agreed with me that Britain's past is not one that uplifts their fellow man.
