Susan Westemeyer said:After having lived for so long outside of the US, I have to agree with this statement, at least as far as the fact that most Americans do feel this way. This attitude, along with that expressed by CentralCaliBikes about things being a "war" between the US and the rest of the world, make me happy that I no longer live in the US.

I am not trying to draw you into a disagreement, but I live across the street from a couple of kids who were born in Germany. I considered them close friends since we did grow up together, went to school together and even worked together. They occasionally complained about the US and clearly felt that their European culture was superior to that of the US. When I went to college I had a number of foreign friends and was active in the International Students group; again I found most felt the culture they came from was superior. I had a Korean professor who happily told the class that Oriental culture was far superior to that of the US and that Asians had significantly higher IQ averages. I know there are those who feel it is the US and is superior at every level - but you will find those people in every country around the world.
