Is putting a spanner etc considered as trolling? Is it not possible to argue against threads that are deemed positive?

You see I don't think stating a point of view, which shows the irony of a romantic view of a nation is trolling in any sense. Particularly if that nation is doing many evil things and the people of that nation are allowing it to happen.

What does that have to do with the title of the thread.

Read back and you will see. It is wrong to look at the positives whilst wearing excuses to the negatives.

I watched the HBO documentary last night from Alexandra Pelosi..despite some parts (I thought) that seemed "staged" or tilted for specific messages in the edits, I thoroughly enjoyed it.

It was refreshing to hear the views of immigrants becoming US citizens officially and the joys and hopes they have for their futures. It made my heart swell.

I'm proud to be an American regardless of it's troubles.

Grits
Amtrak customer service
Diverse geography and geology
The noticeable differences in the people from state to state.
Hollywood
Walt Disney

Most important is despite what foibles America has, it is a diverse and unique country in itself. I would rather live next to a friendly nation like America than live in a country near another which is in a constant state of turmoil and war within it's own borders.

I'm proud
to be an American
I'm proud
of the groovy things we've done
There's television, free religion, Rock 'n' roll, Standard Oil,
Times Square, Jimmy Darren, Corey Wells, and Smokey Bear,
price reduction, reconstruction, Peace Corps, and lots more
Culture that we got to lend

I'm proud
to be an American
And I'm proud
Had a great time bein' one
There's your school and my school and both of us in high school,
surfboards, cigarettes, homework, Southern Comfort
Boy's dean was real mean,
Made us keep our locker's clean
Failed nearly every class
Ditchin' was a gas

I'm proud
to be a young American
I'm proud, just think about it
All the far out things that we've begun
There's revolution, constitution, land, sea, and air pollution,
cold wars, hot wars, gas wars, and confrontations,
constipation, consternation, open hearted palpitations
Muscular Dystrophy

I'm proud to be an American
Because we got department stores
full of cheap guitars
But when Sputnik plays 'em, you just go go go go

I'm proud to be an American--we got two chickens in every garage
And I wish every other kid could be one--in my country, the medium is the massage
'Cause it's impossible to give
Equality and justice to inferior foreigners
too jealous to trust us

Gimme your weak and your homeless
How 'bout checkin' the oil ah, fella?

I'm proud to be an American
