This USA versus rest-of-the-world arguing is meaningless. Without Europe we woudln't have any good electronic music, nor would we have all the cool people on this board.
Every nation has good and bad points. Please don't take global goon's comments seriously. He does not speak for all of us.

Whats the point about NOT loving your country? I mean its ok. I like Canada a lot, iam proud of it. Americans can be proud, ive been all around America and there is a lot of really awsome stuff there. Just like everywhere else.

I think loving your country is something different than being proud of it. I think it's only right to be proud of something you did yourself. Trying to degrade other countries is evil IMHO. Get to know other people before you insult them.
I can understand Americans for being so nationalistic because they had to swear loyalty to the flag since they were kids. No wonder many of them act the way they do when they grow up.

i dont think you ca be proud of your country cause there are so mant things that isnt right.( war, double moral, etc ) you can love things like tradition and stuff like food, music,film and the people but being proud a of a country is going to faar i think. im not proud of being swedish. im not proud of being a human either. im ashamed of that.

I think it is very narrow minded to say something like "Europe Sucks"..... We could all in turn slag off each and everyones country but there wouldnt be much point in that.
As to Europe getting all of its technology from the US.....get real, Ictroboy was right....the Japanese lead on that front. The US probably get the stuff first because thats the route the 'japanese ships' sail...dropping off there high tech stuff in the US before going on to Europe !!
Europe as a continent have a vast variety of cultures to offer which the US can only inimate. You go to these places in the US and they have districts with names like 'Little Italy...' etc.etc. - we've got the real thing!
I'm not disrespecting any in the US, and it is a wonderful place, but to a European who sees so much violence going on in that continent, such as all the street violoence and shootings in schools - I'm so glad I live on this side of the Atlantic!

I met a rather wealthy apparently intelligent American when I was over there in '97 with my parents and he said to us "I could never imagine living in Europe. You've got everything in the States."
Unfortunately that is the view of a large amount of Americans. It's fed into them that they are the best and the only nation worth thinking about. Everything else is inferior.
Usually they are just unintentionally provocative due to their ignorance of everything non US or non English.
There is a boy from North Carolina over here visiting our school. He's my age as well and he said he's slowly realizing why so many people hate the Americans. He's really into learning the culture over here which is great. The majority of the kids who come to our school from America just seem to want to tell everyone how great America is and don't bother to learn German at all. Why bother making the trip over?
OK, I rambled a bit there but you get my point?
