I wouldn't quite go that far, but it's certainly a place or twelve above being born in Texas or Oklahoma

Yes I know it is an arrogant and incorrect statement, but how many times have americans said similar things.
How many times must I hear some dickwad from the USA spout that their country is the 'best in the world' when they have probably never set foot outside their own state.
Personally I would not want to live in america as anything less than a millionaire because the society is geared to serve the rich, (or so it seems from over here).
I'm just off to have a little lie down and cool off.

I always feel so embarrassed when I see these knuckle-dragging, slope-brow idiots getting attention (see the Tea Party). It's often a political fiasco as well. Screaming "we're #1" is both obnoxious and unproductive to dealing with the real problems we're facing. After all, if you have the attitude that you can do no wrong, how can you fix things that are wrong?
As an added bonus, dickwads elect dickwads to promote the corporate dickwad agenda to dick us all over.
