Yeah - Im a proud American - but someone missed a whole bunch in that first post - the travel part - well - thats not real important
The fact that 98% of Americans still think that Columbus was the one that said the world is round is a real good example of the watered down education Americans get - and of course knowing history (just like in this biz) is a real good way to avoid repeating the same mistakes.
Try educating yourself on the real history of why Hitler was able to take power and how exactly he did it - you might be real surprised to find out some recent correlations
Try finding out why you should be proud to be an American instead of fucking putting a bumper sticker on your car - I did my time in the military in the War - back then we sat waiting for the Americans trying to get the war stopped cause we were just fodder - then 35 years later we're doing the same thing again yet very few people can see the fucking same thing happening cause they dont know their own damn history - get a real life and learn your own heritage - then worry about travelling - there's some great countries out there.
As far as the getting the squirts and runs in foreign countries - its because Americans have to have everything antiseptically clean - their bodies never get a chance to defend against the little bugs in other countries water and food. Course the insurance companies and medical conglomerates love it cause they keep buying and promoting the cleaning products companies to make sure there isnt one germ left on the kitchen counter - hell if it weren't for so much cleanliness is next to godliness we've been doing for 40 years now - we wouldnt need medical insurance for most stuff
Back to you wanna-be patriots - when you serve your country in the armed forces during a war and see the carnage up close - come back and we'll talk a little about history
