And usually from somebody in their next breath will explain how whatever country the other person is from is inferior.
I`ve seen this attitude and it`s just sad. Some Americans just assume that all other countries are inferior to the USA by nature, without even knowing anything about those countries`s history or even their geographical location, and *has if* we could judge countries as being "better" or "worse" than others - it`s like saying that westerners are superior to easterners, for example. So are these people saying that Americans are superior human beings? It seems so, because a country isn`t just a country, it`s defined by the people who inhabit it.

And this all "we are the greatest nation in the world" propaganda, I`m sorry if I offend anyone but there were other "greatest nations in the world" before the US, and guess what most of them are now? Dust. So just drop this high and mighty atittude because, believe me, most people who dislike Americans (and I`m not one of them, just to make things clear) have their "arrogance and belief that they are best than others" as their main reason. -> of course, I`m talking to those Americans that think like this, not you Sister M, nor any of my friends on lj
