Well Ameriscot got mad when owenc said he felt comfortable in america. The post necessarily didn't represent him being anti-american it just triggered me to ask him if he was.

Idk but I wouldn't say it's pro - American
ones opinion about wanting to live in America shouldn't be a big deal, but some people can't stand it when you say good things about America for some reason.

How do you translate what I said as anger When Owen said he'd adjust to living in the US in a month my reply was 'I doubt it' which means it would take longer. And how is that anti-American.

BTW, stop referring to me as he.

No, it's the arrogance of many Americans that annoys me and the 'statement' (as if it's fact) that it's the greatest country in the world.

i have to agree with you on this one, many americans think their country is the greatest on earth, but other countries do too like Germany, china, australia. Also america is the strongest country on earth.

No other country is constantly stating it's the best in the world (as if everyone in the world would agree). Strongest (meaning most weapons) does not equate to being the best in the world. In other countries people will say in their opinion theirs is the best country. Key word being opinion.
