Agreed CJ. except that i dont really hate anyone.
I get a little annoyed at someone that wants to continually post about "everything thats wrong with you and where you are from"... then ends every discussion with "you dont get it" or "ok... i will explain it to you one more time" or "your brainwashed" etc.
Alexs opinion is pretty much irrelevant to me. there is nothing to be learned from him because he does not want discussion or debate or learning. he wants to explain why he is right and XXXX is wrong, so that he can feel better about himself and his own insecurities. Then, when he has painted himself into a corner with absurd remarks and comments - he suddenly and conviently feels that he does not need to discuss or defend anything that he said. Oddly, it seems that he can be as offensive as he wants by insisting that Americans are brainwashed, their opinions are irrelevant and everyone to the right of him politically is just a sheep and thats ok... not only OK... but that its the ONLY reasonable and correct view.
I dont think America is great CJ. I fully understand your views. I am definately not one of the "my country, right or wrong" crowd. I dont think America is anything more than it is. Its a country. A country with good and bad... just like any country. I dont think America is any better than Denmark or anywhere else. Its a purely subjective thing. More space shuttles or laser guided bombs, does not make a "people" or the ground on which they stand better. Neither does more Levis and MTV.
i always found it ironic to see the media look at an Eastern European politician and refer to him as "ultr-Nationalist" and in America, its just called "Patriotism"... and yet, there is no notion of "Utra Patriotism" in the USA.
