What's That Feeling? Oh Right, Patriotism.

I am an American. I like being an American. Being in a foreign country really helps form your cultural identity quickly, because never before have I felt attached to my nationality.

I discovered how American I was by how quickly I tired of people bashing America. It always starts with derision and hate.

So, I asked why? The reason-- overwhelmingly because Americans are stupid. Ah.

Stupidity is a crime globally unforgivable. But really, how does everyone know Americans are so stupid?

And this is where it gets good.

Americans are stupid because we don't tell other people when we think they're crazy. Americans are stupid because they want everyone to get along. Americans are stupid because we don't assimilate our immigrants into a standardized culture (we let them keep their diversity, shame on us).

These are just a few of the choice answers from sophisticated, intelligent (certainly not "stupid") non-Americans. Because apparently, it really is us vs. the world.

Amazingly, not even the current administration can put a damper on my present feelings. What were they called again? Oh, right. Patriotism.
