There seems to be more ignorance about America, that there is in America. We didnt barge into the WW's, so we dont care about other cultures and the lives of others. We bust up some tyrants and terrorist-enabling governments and we're bullies. We dont care about other cultures, yet we are the cultural melting pot.

To the topic creator, what is the "rebel" attitude/metality? If you're going to try to instigate, at least have the spine to be clear on your bias.

With all due respect to the countries in Europe, no thanks on becoming more like those countries.

And whenever there is disaster in the world, nobody steps up like America. Nobody.

Back at the time of the World Wars America was more like China in its foreign policy, it had an attitude of 'if it doesn't affect us it doesn't concern us'. It only ever went into those wars after what it saw as attacks on America (Lucitania and Pearl Harbour. The change in American attitudes and foreign policy between then and now is simply massive and it's stupid to hold a grudge against modern America for it, but it's also annoying when Americans claim that they essentially were the sole heroes in both World Wars (which is what pretty much every Hollywood war movie does).

That's what really annoys me too, and the idiots who have no clue in regards to history that keep claiming "You're lucky you're not speaking German, thanks to us". Films are full of f'ing propaganda too, the best hidden brainwashing tool probably.
