[quote=Anonymous]NP. I don’t remember US citizens being as defensive as they have been lately. I think it has to do with the internal turmoil we are currently experiencing. It’s made us all sensitive to criticism. America can be difficult to live in at times because it’s expensive, there is not much of a safety net, and right now our political parties are pitted against each other. I, for one, find it somewhat refreshing to see Americans united in telling others to STFU. We sacrifice a lot to keep the seas open for free trade (see Bretton Woods) and other things the U.S. brings to the table but often Europeans look down on us. The superior attitude gets old. Sure America has problems! But I frankly don’t want to hear foreign complaints because there is too much going on domestically for me to care about your opinion.[/quote]
