Explain this America?

I've never said that in my life, and I am American. The whole nation does not do this. In fact, many understand and appreciate that this country is built on immigration.\n\nMaybe you shouldn't look at America as a nation of hate, and more like a nation like any other...made of humans last (time I checked) who are not perfect. I can also appreciate the fact that we have freedom of speech, iggnorant as some of the comments may be.

It somewhat has the earmarks of the Mai Lai massacre. You have provided a good analogy of it. It is a break down of what is morals and what America should stand for. We have become them.

This has baffled me too.  I have a friend who is crazy about Bush and she explained it this way:  "I love Bush, because he's like a common person in the way he trips over his words and sometimes doesn't make sense.  I don't really trust intellectuals that much."  I hope this isn't the prevailing sentiment in the United States, but it would explain how we ended up with such a person as the visible face of America to the rest of the world.

There isn't a country that is more important than any other one, because a country is comprised of people. If I were to say that my country, America, is the most important, then essentially I'd be saying that the people who live in America are more important than those of any other country. Which, of course, is silly!

Can some people be so blind to the flaws of this country. How can you believe we are so innocent. It's almost despicable to see the ignorance spewing out of some of these peoples mouths, how can they call themselves Americans when they just blindly support whatever leadership is thrown their way and every decision without any question. It almost makes me sick.

The problem here is people can't think outside of the box. Americans just love to segregate, and pretend we're the cream of the crop. People forget we're all in this world together, no country is better than another country, we're just all people populating the world.

Because the American public has no understanding of reality.  They are led by emotion.

I don't think anyone can grasp all of it. We are inandated with right wing conspiracies that want to take power and wealth from the American people.\n\nTake the oil companies for example, they own our politicians. They are the wealthiest lobby. If you were a politician, who would you listen to? The man that just paid for your children's education, or someone with just one vote?

you are not making any sense at all...first you ask about what makes the US (or Mexico or South America, or all of them together) so great, then you talk about WWII and Nazis and Marines, what are you saying?

Sadly, many of the ignorant people of this world have this view. Not based on anything they actually know about America the country and the people in general of America. Their hatred comes from their hatred of our current leader. They are misguided in their reasoning and shallow people to think this way. Unfortunately there is little chance it will change as there will always be these type of people that cannot see beyond the tip of their nose. American people are not unlike people the world over, there are rich, poor, in between and good and bad people. People from other countries that bad mouth America really don't have a clue, what regular every day life is like here. Such is life! There will always be bigots no matter where one is from.

America is commonly accepted as the United States.  I know it is hugely incorrect, but that is how it is interperted.\n\nFor fucks sake, Jessica, do you have your own thoughts, or do you just post what somebody else has already writen?
