...but what do you expect? America always portrays themselves as the good guys...take a look at a High School History text book. Jesus Christ on a bicycle, I bet they have Affleck, Cuba Gooding, and that other kid from The Faculty put on blue tights with a big white star on the chest, complete with a shield replicating the US flag. I really hate when people are patriotic...and when talking about past wars, use the pronoun "we" to describe how much we "kicked(the another country's) ass". I toss an angry leer towards whoever says anything like that in my proximity...I just wish there was a way to ship these douche-bags back in time to the past, put a gun in their hand, and say "ok, go fight." 98% of them would excrete themselves on the spot, including me...but at least I don't act patriotic...I don't give a fuck about politics or this country. I live here, and no one bothers me. Good enough for me.
As an added note, I didn't stand to solute the flag during homeroom in the morning during high school one time. I'm proud of that.
