Janet, if you hate the way Western culture is, why don't you go and live in a place like Afganistan or Iraq? Believe me, you wouldn't last long there!When it comes down to it, when people are in trouble, Americans come to the rescue. Personally, I get sick of the slagging Americans take. The Europeans are happy to sit on their backsides and criticize but they'd get their arses kicked well and hard if it weren't for the Yanks breathing down the necks of enemies.
Go study history, hen.
