Hi RamBam — thanks for sharing those perspectives! I must admit, this is an article of only a few hundred words so it’s impossible to fully go into detail about all the minute nuances that I’d like to share. But with that being said, I’m well aware that a lot of what I’m saying is over-generalizations. However, the whole point of this article is to point out some of the ridiculous differences at the surface level that many Americans perceive about themselves and the rest of the world. I’m fully aware that individuals will have differing opinions and viewpoints.
