Opinion on the USA and American's?

Hi Karvin! Thank you for your response. I'm glad you will be coming here to do your post grad - we'll be lucky to have you. :] Do you know where you will study yet? There are some very wonderful things about my country but you are right, there are some bad parts too - I think this is true for all countries, I just believe that we have alot more opportunities that 'some' other countries do not have so that outweighs the bad in my opinion. I just wanted to tell you that you should not feel that you need to keep quite about your views, opinions or ideas in this country. Most American's have their own views, opinions and ideas as well and if they are good people, they will respect yours and vice versa. I love that I can share my opinion with my real friends and even if we disagree or are on opposite sides of the discussion - we can still share and be friends afterwards. I think it's an important part of living in this country - the freedom of speech and if someone tries to keep me quite, then they better watch out because that's when I become MORE vocal. :] Thanks for sharing your opinions, I appreciate it!

Deepak you flatter me too much - thank you! I'm positive that not all American's are like me and that's a good thing. I have my bad points and things that people would try to change about me as well. I try to be a good person and do what is right in my life but I'm human and make mistakes like the next person. I have three things going against me in the eyes of the world - I'm an American Christian Republican. But I'm not ashamed of that. :] I agree with you that nationality does not define a person's nature or character as a human. Thank you so much for your wonderful reply. ♥

Thank you also for your opinion.

Thank you for your response and opinion. You have tapped into something that some people, even American's themselves, don't seem to remember or understand as much as they should. That is the fact that as a major power, we have great responsibilities. I agree that it should bring more justice, peace, harmony and understanding - but with those actions comes much hate for the USA and the decisions we make to uphold those types of things. We can not have justice, peace, harmony or understanding in a world that doesn't agree and when we try to uphold those very things, we are looked down on and become the 'bad' guy. It's a tough seat to be in and I do not envy our President or the decisions he has had to make over the past few years. Thank you again for your response!

Thank you for your response - I appreciate it and respect it. Regardless of what your opinions are of our President and regardless of whether I agree with you or not - I do not think he defines who American's are as a whole. From your posting it would seem to say that all American's are self-justifing yber-religious people and I do not believe that to be the case. BUT again, I completely respect your opinion and I thank you for responding.
