i dont find my country amusing, and -with exceptions- am not proud of its people. it is rather deplorable if you ask me. horrors abroad, idiocy at home, and noone willing to stand up and say "HEY DUMBASS! YOU GOT IT WRONG! GO FIX IT!" and make some real changes for the better. believe me ive been saying it for a while, and all i get are funny looks.
