You've proven your sympathies well, here. And I believe you've persuasively shown you are who and how they say you are.

I do agree, as an American, that we should be seen as somewhat psychopathic. We want what we want and don't always follow through like promised. That said, I don't see too many futures where containing Russia isn't enough to hold our attention (and therefore, resources).

I am learning those things... hell, I'm studying a completely different language and learning the history.

I think I'm not who you think I am.

Completely agree.

I have so much less control and navigating is not easier. I exclusively use it for work and as infrequently as possible.

I'm consistently impressed with Samsung flagship and plan to remain there for the years to come.

Different strokes for different folks, but this is where I land.

Which Americans are you talking to? We know there are other countries and cultures. We just aren't responsible for learning deeply about all of them. No one is.

You're using some strong, broad strokes that aren't reflective of my experience at all.

America is far from a monolith. Our states roughly equate to different European countries with vastly different cultures, foods, rights and laws.

We just speak dialects that are almost all the same and roll up under one political entity. It is not so dissimilar than the EU, otherwise.

We are, in many practical terms a forced confederation with a shared Constitution. There are those, like in the EU, who want out.

Edit: the shared single language is one of our under-recognized super-powers. I can travel this huge land mass and communicate viably everywhere. It is key to our cultural impact. It is accidental, but helpful to us. Except when we have people who dislike our impact and become hostile.

I'm curious, which part is a myth? I only see facts and not all of them paint America as great.

These things exist elsewhere, besides. Just not always in "the West."

Ditto. Never regretted lifetime sync for reddit.

Very interested to see what he does with this.

Of all media sources, this is what you chose. It speaks to your intentions.

As do your other posts.

Gish, gallop elsewhere. Trolling by requiring that every misstep on your part get a 5 point refutation IS trolling.
