Americans who think America sucks.

You suck. We are a land of freedom, where people come from lands of dictatorship to be in a country of liberty. If your American, you should love your country, regardless if we have a crappy president. America has done awful things and still does, but other countries have done worse things. If you're truly American, you'll love your country for being your country.

President Bush is a douche, but don't let that stop you from loving the free country you were born in.

...

How does that logic work? What if your country isn't what you think is 'American' any more?

You can't expect someone to have an obligation to like a country just because they were born in it.

No, you people think that america sucks suck

...hmm...I'm debating whether or not to actually go off on this thread...

Living in a country does not require you to love it or respect it or anything.

And when the hell will people quit with the damn "if you don't agree with everything this country does you're un-American" idea?! That is so stupid!

Many people in America are afraid to speak up against what the country does in the fear of being called anti-american or whatever...

Pffft, we in Britain enjoy more freedom than you'll ever know....

🙄

That depends on your definition of freedom, though- which is a common cultural clash across the Atlantic.

Oh noooooo!!! Stop with complaining about Bush. It's getting boring 😬 What's more, he's not as bad as you think. You probably have never seen a really crappy politician. I'm happy living far far away from America. I would die in this country full of patriots.

✅ Happens all the time. "Oh no, you disagree!!! UNPATRIOTIC!!!!"

There is this interesting way in which left and right wing collide when it comes to social criticism like that...

But just wait till somebody says the holocaust didn't happen

That's Europe, not the UK, though the base behind your point can be argued.

✅ in which sense i kinda feel bad for those people - i do understand tho.

No patriotic act here - ''here take all my freedom AWAY so you can protect me from the threat that has been going on for a while''

Better let's not talk about holocaust. It should be forbidden in any forums ✅

many americans would view you as a 'hater of freedom' and 'unamerican' just for thinking that.

Napalm there is a big difference between the UK and the main land of europe on quite a bit of subjects
