why is it that we must condemn the people of other nations to become proud of our own? are these the kind of traditions that we want to relive?
sure, france didn't help out when we have bailed them out of other situations, like WWI and WWII. but who started those wars? france? why then do we blame them for so much, now?
all i'm saying is that maybe we should bring more solid-minded traditions to coming generations. and also, i don't remember germany stepping up to any requests. maybe one should consider that, before dishing out insults.
i love this country, but not because i hate the others.
