Afterall the problems i have with my government make sense for me but do you see me out there going "UK SUCKS your all idiots"? NO because even if the citizens of the UK thought it sucked (which it doesn't I'm just using an example so don't even start in on this) it's not my place to judge their entire country based on a few old men in power.

Well, you certainly seem to be implying that about Canada.
By the way, if the US is such a "giving" country, how muhc foreign aid do you think we give out? Where do you think we rank in the world (look up the per capita numbers, as well).
Starhawk, please take this in the spirit of advice, but I think there are at least a couple things you should do: wait until you know more about the topic at hand (ex: are you a scholar of revolutions? What about the American Revolution?), and read some Noam Chomsky and look at some opposing viewpoints...and travel to a foriegn country or two...then you can be an expert on what foriegners think and say and do...and what America's *real* place in the world is...
I, too, was once 17 and knew eveything and I was right about everything and I wasn't annoying either.
I learned there is a lot more to the world then what I was being fed...
