and we certainly have no OTHER redeeming qualities.
Another one for the self-haters.
P.S. Please don't respond with the knee-jerk bs that I'm a "rah rah American"
freeper troll, blah blah....I simply don't indulge in the sort of simplistic,
binary thinking the OP apparently admires.

But, I'm sure you can find similar examples of idiocy in most every large country in the world.
whathehell
(29,620 posts)but if you dared post anything like that here,
the same people now laughing would likely be
flaming away at you as a bigoted, right-wing,
intolerant, simplistic and insular American.
See how that works?

That said, I found the OP hilarious! If we cannot laugh at ourselves, then we're no damn fun.
