Almost anywhere is better than Bulgaria. America must seem like he died and went to heaven. BTW no one simply decides to go to America anymore. You must get a green card either by a lottery or having special skills. Both are tough to get. No wonder he's a happy man.
I have noticed the immigrants from former communist countries, like Croatia, Cuba etc are of often effusive in their praise of their new country, not just America either. It's as if they fear any sign of disloyalty would get them into trouble. Just like in the old country. Not a good example.
I'm pro American and America bashing annoys me too. But so does France bashing or Canada or Bermuda or whatever. Spain bashing is the most cruel and absurd of them all. Those people in Madrid died because of the support Spain gave to the US cause. Euro bashing doesn't bother me. It bothers no one because nobody calls themselves a Euro. Although by a delicious irony the USA is mostly made up of the descendants of Europeans. It's a perfect example of what Europeans can do if they get together in common cause. The USA is more Euro than Europe.
Some of you are far too thin skinned. What is often seen as America bashing is often as much fair comment Criticising American foreign policy is not anti American. Saying America sucks, or Americans are tards, or Americans are stupid or cowards is.
So why do we think we can critiicise American policies? Because they often effect us directly. I pay more for gas because of the war in Iraq. The interest I pay on my loans is impacted by American economic policy. The heavy security I face at an airport is due to what happened in America which in turn is related to the actions of various US administrations. My job directly depends on how the American economy is going.
Here's a quote
In 1929 The Wall Street Crash occurred. This led to a World Depression which was partly responsible for the rise of aggressive dictatorships in Europe.
Check this site out: Those of you who constantly boast about how America saved Europe's ass. The USA was indirectly and it must be said innocently responsible for the rise of the Nazi's in the first place.
