You know for a time I was in a position to screen all news stories sent in by the AP and UPI services BEFORE they got to the editing rooms. It astounded me how twisted some of the stories got. It made me unable to trust any news agency. Didn't seem to matter which country was reporting the issue you still only got about 1/3 of the story IF you heard about it at all that is.

Just to clear things up (AGAIN) by "overly patriotic and proud" I meant "very patriotic and proud" as in more than in most European countries. I muct've gotten the two words confused. American patriotism seems very intimidating to me, as I am no longer used to any kind of patriotism. Better now? Everyone happy?

Kaz I realize you are pretty young, but as you go through life, try to not be intimidated by ideas or concepts. Patriotism is not something that should inspire intimidation. Is there nothing you are proud of? All Patriotism is, is being proud of your country. So think of it as that feeling you get when you are proud of ...well what ever it is you are proud of. None of my posts were an attempt to knock you for your views, Im just trying to understand your point of view and to ascertain exactly what you mean. ------------------ Disintigration is easy, If you really want to impress me, ReIntegrate it.

Kaz, Nazi was a party not a nationality, I would not be offended if you ever said you were proud to be German!
