The debt is not much different to that of other western nations so we're not too worried. While the US doesn't have the best internal structure for a country, we (I'm British) still care about it because it remains the largest and wealthiest stable trading-partner/ ally.
People often ask me what it means to be an American. I tell 'em it's triumph. Triumph. Triumph when we nuke our enemies. Triumph when when peer down from the moon and laugh heartily at Russia. Triumph when we depose one dictator after another. Triumph when we break into the homes of terrorist kingpins on the other side of Earth and shoot them in the face. Triumph when we use flying robots to bomb other terrorists in Afghanistan, and other nuclear robots to explore Mars. Triumph when we free Europe from Nazis. Triumph. Triumph. Triumph. But it's not just the the big things, see? It's the way I can set up lawn chairs at my friends house on the Texas Rio Grande and share a toast to freedom while watching Mexicans charge into gunfire to enter my country. It's the way an Italian cabbie sits up straight and floors the gas when he hears my accent. It's seeing the wide eyes and bead of sweat running down the forehead of a German customs agent when he opens my passport. It's the way a French waiter hangs his head when I refuse the wine and ask for Coke instead, in English knowing full well he understands me (and that they have it). The way an Aussie blushes and leans into the urinal next to me in the bathroom, or the scowl that meets my smirk when I tip an English waiter in US dollars covered with Washington's face. The way small mobs of Canadian school children follow me from a distance to see what a free man looks like, or how heads timidly rise and women gather when my accent stops the music in the clubs of Amsterdam. Triumph. Every bit of it, triumph. That's what it means to be an American.
I never had an issue with being American. Although I see a couple of people bad mouth my country because of the way we act, the way we eat, etc; I don't give a **** . I look at other countries and see "hey, they actually have it worse than us." I have my right to live, to pursue my dreams, and to reach my full potential. Obviously, the road to success is never easy and the world is ever changing, but the fact of the matter is that I can while others cannot. So for all of those who hate the U.S. of A for any reason be it just to hate to make yourselves feel better or if there is a legitimate issue, then so be it. I am proud to be an U.S. citizen
as bout as much as any other country
the only difference is our narcissism is pretty much broadcast to and understood by other countries because english being a choice to learn in non english speaking countries
no facts to back it up but i study people and the template is the same
My cousin used one of these once.
He got black out drunk at a foam party in Spain and woke up in a hospital someone went through his pockets, took the phone out of the case and put the case back in his pocket.
