I think Bill Maher talked about this in his second show. He has very good points.
Only 7% of Americans have a passport. Only 10% of those who do, have actually used it (and i wonder what % of those actually went overseas).
Most people who say America is the best country in the world, are "pulling it out of their ass".
What would you think about a person talking shit about you, without even meeting or seeing you? It's exactly the same thing. These kind of people are simply full of prejudice and ignorance. Those are the ones who deserve to be hated.
My personal opinion: I have seen about 10 countries, most in Europe. United States is the best one to live in, because no other governmet thinks this much about the benefit of its own citizens.
