You're comparing America to shitty totalitarian, theocratic or other third world countries. The same kinds of freedoms and ideals you embrace in the US are enjoyed by many, many other countries too.

When you say "any" other country in your opening sentence, you make it sound like you believe that the world consists of America (freedom) and everywhere else (not freedom), which is why so many people from other free countries mock the severely insular attitudes of some Americans.

Think you're reading into things a bit much there.

Ankle biter gotta bite ankles.

You're a beta pleb who follows the pack and yips at others who have the audacity not to.

If you see someone burning the Flag dont let it bother you, its because this country is great that they have the freedom to burn the flag without being jailled or stoned.

You can criticize, not give a **** about patriotism, love or be neutral about the USA. In other places you can be jailed, beaten, tortured or killed for disagreeing with your government or its policies, for voting for the wrong candidate in an election, not actively supporting or being indifferent to your government.

That said, if you want to burn a flag or raise the flag on a flagpole in your frontward every day, you've got the freedom to do either. If you wanna criticize someone for burning the flag or being a patriot that's your right, too. I draw the line when your freedom of speech turns into action, force, etc., to stop another from exercising their freedom of expression. That's not acceptable to me.

We drifted pretty far from what this country was founded on. Having said that I respect it and it pisses me off to see it trampled or burned. It still represents our freedom and how far we have come as a nation (despite how fucked up that may be some times).

Well no shit. Your country was founded when idealisms, technology, culture and global communication were completely different than it is now. There was also like 60 people occupying the USA at the time and 59 of them were aboriginals.

Like fitting a square peg in a round hole sometimes.

And seriously. You guys need to change that flag to something a little more subtle. When you use it for window curtains its really hard to decorate a room around it. Other countries have it right with three colored bars. Thats all you really need. Im not saying the canadian flag is better. That thing is just fucking weird with a leaf in the middle of it it may actually be too subtle. We need to combine our flags maybe? Have no idea why we arent one big official country anyways. That border between us is bullshit.

I know the West Indies are called that because the European explorers though they had found a path to India. Did they also think, when they arrived on what today is known as the continental USA, that they had arrived in Australia, like in a time machine boat, ...or something like that?

Dont bring false history teachings into this mikita!! Usa is one of the biggest propaganda machines on earth. Great country, great people always love going to the states and always love when yanks visit up here but **** man you really can feel the propaganda machine in full effect sometimes when you cross the boarder into the states. Same as up here but it is much more subtle. My very first memory as a kid crossing the boarder were your highway signs. Some dudes head was all over the fucking place. I was like " whos this dude he must be important to have his head all over highways signs..he must be a dictator".

Really he was cannibalized by his own kind. Lessers, of course. But still, nevertheless, his own kind.
