i thought north amarica was 'the land of the free' - free of bigotry, oppression and the like?.... so is it a case of we're all equal, but, we're more equal than immigrants?...... all the more ironic as you were an immigrant yourself wernt you??

We learn both. But people ignore history, hence liberals exist. And if you're going to tell me not to teach my country the greatness of their own country, then I'm not going to listen to you and just feel sorry. I do have a sense of national pride.

i am quietly proud of my country - like others in this thread - but i dont feel the need to scream it at the top of my lungs tho - british understatement perhaps?
i would however deliberatly keep quiet if my country was the most hated on the planet, whilst i figured out why that was.....

Have you heard of Ivory Coast?
And if France is such a great peacekeeping nation, why the hell is the United States keeping peace in Eastern Europe? Why did you need the United States to fix two world wars, and recently Serbia?[

ahhhhh..... THAT old chestnut. the US of A saving us out of the goodness of their own heart....and nothing, oddly enough, to do with realising that they would be deep in the mire if europe fell.
i love how yanks extol how the US is in so many countries keeping the peace - yet neglect to mention the US had either invaded that country or in some way contributed to its political collapse in the first place!!
