Our schools do suck in many areas , and as long as liberals are running our schools and universities we will continue to propaganda will be on the menu . If our schools teach this USA is " the great " as you say .... why do so many of these spoiled brats bitch and cry and burn the American Flag so often ??? Why do so many have that Robin hood " entitlement mentality ? We are to spoiled and selfish , maybe even too damn greedy , but the " rest of the world" has its demons too . Which country funds the UN at 70 % ....not Russia, France ,Germany or China . Which country is leading the effort in Haiti ... Venezuela and Cuba ? I do not think we are better than anyone , but save the we are the most evil , mean blah, blah blah crap ... please  |
Please point to where in my post I say these things don't occur or should not be talked about. The whole way I said it needs to have both parts of it, and stay away from just pure American Exceptionalism where the US does nothing wrong.
Second of all, you stereotyping all of the US students as "spoiled brats [that] bitch and cry and burn the American flag so often" is ridiculous. I tried to find how many flag burning incidents there have happened in the US but I couldn't find any concrete statistics, but regardless, it doesn't happen very often. Hell, from what I could find, it barely happens!
Lastly, I never said other countries didn't have demons. Once again, I wanted the US to be shown in a true light; we do great things, we do bad things.
So, the next time you reply, please actually respond to what I'm saying instead of taking the argument into your own corner without actually responding to what I said, which is what I did in this post.
