Just one of the quirks you can be hateful for. Anyone ever been caught shoplifting? Be thankful you aren't caught in the middle east the next time you use both hands. I hate that. Remember the American kid that got lashed/whipped in the Phillipines when he got caught for vandalism? Betcha he hated that.
Thus endeth my rant. God bless America.

I don't hate america. I hate the fact that many americans just assume that their country is the best gosh darn country in the whole wide world. I hate the fact that there are so many americans who throw a hissyfit at the notion of universal health care in a country where we pay the most yet end up 37th in overall health performance. I hate the fact that so many of my countrymen and women are so intellectually lazy that they are afraid to even entertain the notion that america isn't across the board the greatest nation ever in the entire universe.
