Wow. Interesting thread, one of the best Ive read in a while...
I dont want to rant, most of what I would say has already been said. To paraphrase:
1) Yes, there is a lot of bad about Americans. There is also a lot of good.
2) Not everyone is as socialist as you SF.
3) Many (if not most) of SF's points are wrong, or at least less-than-accurate.
4) SF isnt an American, and as such, his views are affected mainly by what he sees and reads in the media. He doesnt live here, and thus doesnt experience or understand it. This means two things: don't tear him a new asshole over it, but at the same time, he probably shouldnt be making claims that he understands the American way of life, and thus shouldnt be damning it so vehemently.
