BTW there is more to being American than eating bad food and watching trashy TV. When more of our own people realize that the better off America will be.

The tv we get from you is all pretty good: Simsons, 24, the West Wing, Frasier, Arrested Development (my current favourite). If you do have a lot of trash then I don't think it gets across your borders.
Germany is the most pro-american country in Europe and don't mistake France's desire not to import your culture as Anti-Americanism. They don't want to import British culture either! France holds dear to the ideals of Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite, which is exactly what the US used to be about. If anything it's the US which is now anti-american.
Yes, I'm British. I spell favourite with a U and I'm proud of it!
