i think the problem in some people is a little deeper with some... I have a friend that is going to Europe tomorrow to spend some time with his girlfriend (doing study abroad)...

he was scared shitless.. I tried to tell him not to worry.. I have been to Europe several times.. It isn't a big deal, I actually enjoy it greatly and always wish I could go back and make it a little more permanent (my stay, that is).

but one thing he told me seriously pissed me off.... "I am going to kick those damned countries asses!" and then he went on a tirade about how the other countries cannot look down on who he is, for being an ignorant american, and he will show them what an american truly is..

it was sad that there are people who think like this..

i hope the people he meets over there are especially tolerant and patient, otherwise he will not have a fun time with an attitude like that.
