[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My friend is married to a Greek, and I was appalled to hear their opinions about the US, the Americans, school system, etc. yet, no one is going back to Greece.
It's just a normal part of immigrant behavior. [b]Americans living in other countries are also guilty of it.[/b][/quote]

This. And some Americans also self segregate in expat communities abroad too. What's the point in going over to a foreign country if you only want to be amongst Americans and live like you still live in America?[/quote]

Americans live in other countries and complain about all sorts of things with regards to their host country.  That doesn't mean they don't like parts of the country, but other things they do dislike.  How is this different from immigrants here?  
 
  We talk criticize parts of our own country here too.  We talk about the education system, the politics, the postal service, the feds, etc.  Should we just move out too if we don't particularly like the way some things are governed here.

Your honestly being way to touchy about this.

Don't forget one of the best things about this country- Freedom of Speech.[/quote]

Well duh. It's like family -- I can say negative stuff about mine but if someone else does, it's not the same. [/quote]
