[melody]

4. Well, that love fest lasted a long time

Swede, "us guys" don't say any one thing -- we're 300 million people. In fact, I'm nearly half a century old, I've been all over my country (and numerous others), and since I'm in business, I've known a greater cross-section of people than others might come into contact with, and I've never known one American who ever said:

1) Only in America... unless he was a freeper moron. They are the minority. We ignore them. And sometimes the other people who do say this mean it as a negative remark.

2) "We're the greatest nation on earth". I don't believe that - I don't know anyone who does. Even so, most people who say it, say it as a genuflect at the altar of our national father's highly conditional love. It's something you can't "get" unless you're American. The rest say it because they are morons and I know you have them in Canada (I've seen Parlement du Canada on C-Span).

3) Any of the other countless stereotypical remarks "all Americans" are supposed to say.

We are at least six different cultures masquerading as one. Generalizations of even the most basic form are more than likely to be wrong.

5. My freeper neighbor says "Only in Ameirca are people free". n/t
