That's only because we really are better than everybody else.

It's the system that is better and you just happened to be lucky enough to be born into it. Your comment basically reinforces his claim. Arrogance is greatest before a fall. Perhaps you should try and stay humble as God would have you.

Well SOMEBODY had to build that system, it didn't just appear magically in 1776.

America has given more to the world, and asked for damn near nothing in return, more than any other nation on Earth. When there is a disaster in the world, it is America that everyone turns to with their hand stretched out for help. When the oppressed are praying for freedom, it is invariably America who delivers that freedom to them. America has given away billions upon billions of dollars to those in need, only to be pissed on by ungrateful slobs who lack the intellectual firepower to resist the never-ending America-hating which is a regular staple of the Euro-weenie crowd, who had to depend on America not once, but twice, to save them from tyrants run amok.

Even post 9/11, the #1 destination of immigrants all over the world is America, they swim, they sail, they walk, they crawl, they fly, they DIE in their efforts to reach U.S. soil and the freedoms and opportunities that America represents.

What you are mistaking for arrogance in Dfwgator is pride in his Country, which isn't misplaced. There is an old saying, something along the lines of "it ain't braggin, if it's true". And the truth is, Americans are among the most generous and compassionate people on the face of the planet, and were it not for the United States and Ronald Reagan, YOU my FRiend from Germany just might be answering to the likes of Erich Honecker even today. Make no mistake about it, due to the perseverence and courage of leaders like Reagan and Thatcher, the West won the Cold War, and Soviet Communism died, and not a moment too soon.

Does that make Americans better than everyone else? That's not up to me to say, but the world sure forgets in a hurry that they were only one superpower away from a global Soviet Empire until that final collapse of the U.S.S.R.

You're Welcome.

Exactly. Same euros,russians and now chinese that are jealous and hateful towards the US. Who cares, we will keep doing what we do and they will continue to hate us and spew their ignorant anti-american diatribes. I am proud to have been born here and I have been all over the world. They are no place like the good old USofA and it just drives the eurotrash(your socilialist system is communism lite and destroys innovation) mad. Which is rather hilarious and entertaining!
