I keep wanting to scream out, "It's not me! It's not me!"
And I think a lot of Americans feel this way...then they just give up because they feel it isn't worth it.

That's cool Saz - we know it's not you. I agree with you - statements like that at the start of the thread help to generate what (unforunately) is a widely held view of American arrogance or indifference to the rest of the world. Some people fail to recognise that all cultures races and creeds have their share of jerks, so to them you are all branded that way. These are the people that are prepared to rip into all things American based on a few like minded encounters with this type of moron (commentator).
On the other hand, I just see his comments as convicting himself as a total prat. I condemn the idiot that mouthed that dribble, not the culture or the country.
