Maybe this has already been posted. I wouldn't know because a search of "The United States," or "America" brings up too many thousands of topics to go through. Coincidently, this is exactly my point.

There are people in these forums from so many different countries, why is the conversation always focused on America, our politicians, and our way of life?

Why do I never see topics like "Why is Brazil so violent?," or "Why are Chinese politicans so corrupt?," etc. etc.

If you are in France, why do you care about New Orleans? If you are Peruvian, why do you care about American violence? If you are Canadian, why do you care about the War in Iraq?

There are much more extraordinary happenings of injustice, malice, and destruction all over the world. Why do things become such a big deal to everyone when they involve America?

Is it hatred, envy, fascination? None of these things, a combination of these things or what?

It's because we're all worldy and informed on this forum (well, most of us ) and America is involved in a LOT of world events.

Funny how everyone gets on the U.S. for being involved in so much, yet so many other people are always concerned about American affairs. Seem a bit hypocritical to you, eh??

Because British people have nothing better to do than moderator forums, sip tea and complain about America. We kick their ass and they know it.

Since you mention it: jelious=jealous and liberal's=liberals' (apostrophe after the 's' if there's more than one liberal).
