And yes, "America hater" did cross my mind, but I was trying to be somewhat diplomatic and still make the point. 
 
I guess I don't understand why you felt it important not only to emphasize, but to HAMMER on the fact that while there is some good, there REALLY is a lot of BAD about Americans. 
 
Anyway, I hope it doesn't seem that I'm trying to start a fight over it, it just struck me as I was reading it.

 Don't get me wrong.  I am very glad that i'm american.  Despite all the bullshit it's still better than most.  I just think sometimes we americans go overboard patting ourselves on the back.  Thought maybe the other extreme might provide some contrast.
