What exactly is wrong with flag-waving and national pride? So what? You should be proud of your country, too. Wave the maple leaf flag all you want, it won't rub me the wrong way.
And as far as I can tell, no one in here said we "do it all alone". We might have done more than others, yes, and we absolutely made the difference in WW2. But you're jumping to a conclusion on this one. I don't think anyone thinks we do it all ourselves.
But the fact that a thread about a terrorist attack designed to kill citizens turned into this discussion at all probably says a lot.

Do I need to remind people the French...
*caugh*WW2*caugh*
You're opinion of the French hasn't seemed to have evolved since WWII.
Every historical event has enabled a cause & effect to what modern humanity has become.
No single event or document, including the Declaration of Independance and Costitution can be creditted 100% to those involved. They're simply evolutions of previous ideas & societies at differing levels.

Let's not forget that the French basically bankrupted their country aiding us in the Revolutionary War in our pursuit to break free from the British and become our own nation. They provided soldiers, loans and basically their Navy.

Learning about history through movies. Fox News. Freedom Fries...
A lot of aspersions are being cast towards me and others in this thread based solely on your own biased views of "the typical American" (which ironically you must have culled from some form of media of your own... or the internet, which is even worse).
I need no history or cultural lessons, thanks. I was born outside of this country and probably saw more of the world in my first 30 years than most see in 20 lifetimes. I almost decided to Major in World History at school and become an Anthropologist (I decided against it simply because I wanted to do something more creative). I don't watch any cable news, and I think "Freedom Fries" are as lame as they sound.
You two guys just resent America. It doesn't really matter why. But you do. And it's colored every single comment you've made in this thread (which, by the way, was started to discuss a domestic terrorist attack and soon devolved into the same tired "U.S. vs the world" pablum). Just admit it and move on.
How did we even go from discussing the events in Boston to this anyway??
They just resent america,"It doesn't really matter why."..........oh but it does it so does!.....its all about actions and your whining about reactions.
America is the greatest nation on the face of the Earth. Anyone who doesn't agree is in denial.
That is all.
That is all.

Removed the arrogance and agreed
You're just in denial, my friend. As a penance for your willful ignorance, please PM me the Pledge of Allegiance in writing. I'll wait.

This video sums it up, as an American all my life, I myself hate certain aspects but overall I can't see how you can hate America. Theres a reason people still want to immigrate, vacation, attend school etc here. Especially assuming most here are fans of alot of the comics, movies, characters we create and produce.

Of course we like all countries are proud of our accomplishments, and of course we like all countries have idiots who don't know how those things we're accomplished and take credit for things they didn't earn or don't deserve. The places on earth where real evil and oppression exists should be what the rest of our nations are collectively focused on, places where women don't have rights or are seen as spoils of war. Places where civil wars are still raging and nuclear powers are insecure. Those places shouldn't have the ability to destroy the world fall into the wrong hands because the rest of the world was too polite to act.

We gave you the likes of Katy Perry. Enough said. She will be my wifey one day 
You mean Tom Hanks didn't really try and rescue someone named Ryan in WW2???? What the **** have I been thinking for the last 10 years??! Please you must tell me your joking and I haven't been believing a lie this whole time? But seriously, this is what makes you look like an idiot. You assume so much yet know nothing about how we live. Sure I agree some people in the US are arrogant, but your telling me you don't have any people like that where you live? Doubt it. You also believe that everyone from your country is highly knowledgeable about world history? I guarantee they aren't. I'm sure most people from Canada are a bunch of *** holes who only like hockey. Wait maybe I shouldn't assume things from only talking to a few canadians...First, I'm not "butt-hurt" about anything. I have absolutely nothing to envy you guys about...nothing. Secondly, I never said I hated the US or anyone in it. I have friends over there and I tell them the same thing (their arrogance and lack of knowledge of other country's history but their own, is laughable). If anyone is butt-hurt it's you guys and your egos since you are learning that you DON'T do all this on your own. Maybe some of you should stop getting educated through movies like Saving Private Ryan, Argo, and Lincoln. Hint: Those stories are made up for the most part
