Personally, it's not necessarily a thing of pride. I just don't like it when people make jugdements based on nationality or race. Though, it is true that Americans are proud people. Everything we have now is because of what our forefathers fought for.
What I said in >>140 is true. America is the nation with the highest level of obesity in the world.
