jesus, you americans and your "we are the world" mentality
(no offense meant)
I love how it's "you Americans"-- because in the most diverse country in the entire world we only have one common thought process. Yes, us dumb American's all voting the exact same way, agreeing with every decision of our government, bashing (figuratively and literally when necessary) every other country in the world. You, my friends, have us all figured out... It is too bad we just aren't as fair and smart as all you Europeans, who all think exactly the same as everyone else in Europe. All of those people in Hong Kong who act and think exactly the same as everyone else who lives there.
oh, of course, no offense meant...
Just for one second, I would like all of us to remember that the world is made up of many different people who think many different ways and should not be grouped into categories based the country they are from.

So maybe it was a bit of an over-reaction, but on this side of the water, we're constantly bombarded with "the rest of the world hates you" propaganda. I guess I have simply developed a bit of a short fuse to it.
We're told everyday that people all over the world hates America, that we are evil, selfish, spoiled, materialistic, and war-happy. Never-mind as a whole America donates more money to world charities each year than than any two countries in the rest of the world. But like all stereotypes, it's the bad ones that stick.
Sorry for the derail. I'll save it for another time.

I'm from Birmingham, its the 8th most dangerous state in America. I now live in Sumiton, which to my knowledge is ranked as one of the most easiest cities to get prescription drugs without seeing a doctor and easiest place to find a hit man. I don't hate this place though cause when I look around I get a major ego boost.
