Ok, now we're on the same page. I guess I should have put something in the post referring to him, because that's who's attention I was really trying to get. Like you, I'm tired of his slamming USA posts. I'm not this great patriot, but it bother's me after while that all he posts seems to be about that. If he was somewhat equal in his rantings - other countries, etc - then it might not get to me as much. You're right about the culture. Since he does seem to get many of his views from movies and google searches of "bad america" I guess I shouldn't expect too much.
