I understand that people are different everywhere and anywhere as there are good and not so.Happy New Year to you!

Every country has it flaws, thats true. If i had to talk about the many things i dislike about MY country, i could be here for hours.

The difference is, probably, that if you go to an argentinian forum and say the things you think are bad with arg, you wont have ANYONE acusse you of doing that out of "jealousy" (LOL), cause no argentinian in their right mind would think anyone could be jealous of argentina (LOL). And if they did, they would be called insane by the rest of the people.

I get that US is much more important than Arg and probably better in many aspects, and its a number 1 country, a cultural empire, etc, but i dont see people from england, or from France, having that way over the top attitude about THEIR countries, wich are also important. I never read an english person saying the people from other countries were "lesser people" than them and being congratulated by it.
Maybe some people think that, but no one would say it. Its very tacky and bad taste and i dont understand how americans think going everywhere saying your country is the best isnt ridiculous. Cause it makes you look ridiculous, honestly.

And all the people that pop up in every USA thread and say everything is out of jealousy, could you explain your logic?? Cause i dont understand it?

You think that, lets say, that i admire USA so much that i criticize it cause i actually want what i criticize? Like you think i actually would wanna live in a gun-obsessed country and i envy THAT about your society??
Cause there certainly ARE things to envy USA about (like your tv, if our tv was at least 10% as good at yours but not even close), but those are the things i usually congratulate USA about and talk well about. Many many things.

Those people assume that everyone that says something bad about USA actually is twisted and cover their envy with criticism???? cause thats really a twisted way of thinking

Thank you! How hard is it to do business in America today?(The common man.)It is true that many people choose to work in different firms than to have your own business? In Russia, the government service or work preferable to a private firm. but it is preferable government service - his business.
