Let me clarify a little here, I was born in Massachusetts. My whole family (originally scottish/irish emmigrants) lives in one of the hearts of this country. I moved from there at the age of 5 to Hong Kong, lived there until I was 8 and then moved back to Massachusetts for a year. I have been in Colorado for the last 13 or so years since. I love my country dearly, and I take nothing for granted that I have. 

That said, as I get older I find myself getting increasingly frustrated about U.S. Citizens, or hell lets just call them Statesmen (sorry girls, not sexist, but it sounds better) talking about the U.S. or about being a Statesman and using the adjective "America(n)".

I understand this is a very old adjective for ourselves, and I shouldn't have an issue with it, but for me it stands at the heart at some of the issues that plague this country. We as an entire country are ignorant, sniveling, fat, entitled fucking brats. My main point herein is the ignorance. We are but one continent of 3 that have the word "America" in the name. Technically, Brazillians are "Americans", Mexicans are "Americans" and people in the Yukon are "Americans".

I am asking you guys your opinion on if this is a little ridiculous or not because I would like to know if it is weird that I flare up in frustration when I hear "AMERICA! AMUURRRICA!" and to work on fixing it.
