Liberals versus Leftists

[downbeatplumb]

Because by default it says that anywhere else is inferior.

It looks down on the rest of the world.

I like where I live, but I also like France as well and Greece was nice, but a lot of people in the US don't say "I Like the US" they say "The US is the best"

Imagine you are talking about children.

You can like your children, but if you then say your children are the "best in the world" then your going to have an argument. What's wrong with MY kids they'd say, what's make your kids so much better than mine?

And it also begs the question what do you mean by best.

I disagree. I don't think it is at all offensive for me to think my husband is the best in the world, my best friend is the best in the world, my family is the best in the world, the color pink is the best in the world, and my country is the best in the world. Those are just my opinions. What may be best to/for me, may not be for someone else. It doesn't mean I "look down" on other people's husbands or families or whatever. Just that I think I have the best for me.

"Ah best for you" fair enough but just "best".

Imagine this scenario.

You have a co-worker who each and every day comes in and says loudly how he is the best worker.
After a while that would grate.
That's America.
