You are uneducated, more than likely untraveled, asshat. [/quote] That is a big problem I think with many US citizens, they are inexperienced with the world outside of it's borders. Take for example the UK, a third of it's population leave the UK every year, to go to another country. I have lost count of the number of countries I have visited and lived in in my life, as a rough guess I would put it at (thinking)....40, and lived in 5 other countries. That gives you a huge perspective and empathy with other peoples and nations. To be frank I have never been to the States, never wanted to in the past, and certainly do not want to go there now, I go East, I feel safer in Moscow than I know I would in, Alabama for example. I lived in India for a whole year, travelling the country extensively, and never felt unsafe anywhere I went. I have travelled the around the middle east, north Africa, the whole of Eurasia practically, but this is not uncommon for Europeans, but most uncommon for Americans. Americans have a PR problem, they are perceived wrongly I know as all being Budweiser swigging, Big Mac eaters, all with a mentality of GW Bush jnr with a 'shock and awe' military mindset. To some extent this is true for many Americans, especially those of low academic ability, of which I know there are many. This needs to change if America really wants to participate meaningfully with our global family of humankind. I thank you for reading this, please do not take it personally, as stated not all Americans are like this, I know many myself personally, many are friends, they too have made statements such as yours above. Best wishes to you there.

[/quote] Sir, no offense, but you sound like someone who has long harbored a bigoted view of my country, without ever having set foot in it I might say that given the horror stories I read of yob attacks, race wars and socker hooligans and binge drinking I have no desire to visit the UK After reading of daily neo-nazi attacks on immigrants in Russian cities, I as a visible minority certainly have zero desire to visit Moscow, so you see, we can have very different viewpoints. If you're the sort of person who would feel more at home in Moscow to begin with, and who feels 100% comfortable making vast generalizations about a large population of people you have never met and will never meet in person, based on quite biased media sources that we here have no control over, then I don't think anything is going to change your mind. The fact that a large majority of Americans turned around after George Bush and overwhelmingly voted for a black president with a muslim last name, has had no effect on you or others who were determined to dislike us anyway I am blessed to have traveled extensively through the world, and I realize on returning to the United States that the majority of Americans I meet are far more welcoming and genuinely friendly than most of the so-called "developed" world I have lived or spent time in. Yet, as you say, we get a bad rap. Frankly, I am beginning to understand why there were those of my father's generation who finally developed a "fuck the rest of the world" attitude, because even in the 1950s 60s and 70s, the Europeans and many South Americans were eager to gleefully bash anything American, no matter what we did. If we sent aid, we got no thanks, if we didn't intervene, then we were told we weren't doing enough, but when we did help (as recently as Haiti after the earthquake) then there were those who suggested we were doing it out of selfish motivations Can't win, why try is what some finally decided. I am not one of those, because we all have a personal responsibility to rise above petty national interests and become global citizens, but I have to say when I read posts like yours I just want to throw in the towel sometimes Again, no offense, but it seems your mind is quite closed on the subject, so its doubtful much would change your opinions for the better and just about anything would only reinforce the negative stereotypes you have already harbored for decades. Just be honest about it. Peace [/quote]
