Many things I assume, but I would have to judge each individually. But short of saying all Americans suck, or that this is a terrible country to live in, I don't think much. I certainly have not heard any bashing on this forum. What makes you the arbiter of whether someone's criticisms of aspects of our society or culture are unpatriotic or anti-American? I saying that American society as a whole is obsessed with youth and the supericial appearance of it unpatriotic? I think Gary's observation that our society looks for the lowest common denominator in entertainment is valid, how else can you explain the popularity of Paris Hilton and some of the crap we watch? God help this country when we can't criticize ourselves with being considered unpatriotic, whatever that means. ------------------------ Yahoo!
