And that is funny you said that. When I read people from around the world complaining about the USA, I often wonder: does America have a superiority complex, or does the rest of the world have an inferiority complex?
Well in some cases it might be a bit of both, I think it is more an inferiority complex. I am not sure why this is, I know the US is bigger and better at many things, but I don't feel threatened by it. I am proud of my country and don't need to bash another to make myself feel good. I too would like to know why some feel the need to do so.
