A positive view from Tampa, Florida-- Taking a bi-partisan approach

• Seeing some of the negativity here by some of the commentators, I'll give a positive point of view from an US-American from Florida. First of all, pride goes before a fall. I'm not proud of my country. That doesn't mean I appreciate it. The United States is a very unique place on earth, just like Germany. People should be able to respect other's cultures and they way they live life. Germany is full of hard working, intellegent people just like the United States. I can't say that our country is as free as we all put it to be. There's plenty of discrimination. I like Germany, just like the US. I don't go bragging around that the US is better than this country or that country. The bigotry has to stop sometime. No wonder why the US has lost its place in the world. Fighting a war for no clear reason, bailing out corporations that don't give a shit what people think about them when they go to a RESORT in CALIFORNIA. I don't mean to sound un-American, or un-Patriotic, but this is serious, and it doesnt hurt to look at our mistakes and learn from them. Because obviously, thats why we're in this mess. We never looked back to see what went wrong, so we've gone through this again. When I see all these ugly remarks about foreigners in general, it makes me feel embarrassed that these people could be my neighbours. I know how the Germans feel, I can understand that they don't like us. I read this title, and for a start, are you that ignorant to know that the Nazi Party is gone? Also, may I give a bit of advice. Have you even been to east Germany? If you have then its ok to give your expressed opinion, but to say it when you haven't even been there is another. Americans are great people, so are Britons, so are Japanese, so are the Dutch, and the Germans, they are people just like us. All said and done, we're all the same, we've just grown up in different environments and cultures.
