maybe if these 'critics' weren't canadian or british, their words would carry more weight. it just reeks of foreign individuals simply trying to point out their differences in their culture to americans, but in the end, they forget how many atrocities their countries have committed over time too
it would be like me, trying to implement australian values on americans due to the aussie culture and how it fits my 'comfort zone'. when you see me telling you mericans should give up your guns because aussies did it one time would make me blind to what its like to 'be' american
