Ah yes, spoken from a delusional individual with an extremely deep inferiority complex.

It's a piece of land. Feel free to eat me, I really could not care- truth is, I'm a allowed an opinion.

People often hate that which they do not understand. Many 'people' are often ignorant, it's not something unique to the US. Some of the most ignorant and arrogant people I have ever met are my fellow Brits. In my experience the people who constantly offer negative criticism aimed at the US should look in the mirror

I've never once ever heard someone refer to the UK as third world. It is if course, if you compare it to Singapore

Exactly.
I'll be sure to think of you the next time the seemingly endless stream of Irish illegals shows up to fix my neighbor's house... And , I can assure you, few Americans are darkening Ireland's door.

Is it because of American tv (which portrays us in the worst light possible, and most of it is not real anyway)?
Because we are a superpower?
Is it because of the "American ignorance"?


Please feel free to answer my question
Because America interferes in other countries internal affairs and side with political groups that might benefit America interests, but not the interests of the average citizens of those countries.
