No one person can represent a country. And no offense to myself, but I wouldn't advise Canada to choose me if they were going to choose someone to try.

For whatever reason? Don't act like there's no reason. It's because people view actions by Americans, and then generally apply it back to all Americans. There's a lot of people in the world that are hateworthy. Many of them American. I suppose it may just be that the american hateworthies are more newsworthy, as well. But like I said, most Americans I like.
But that you guys live in a country that could outlaw gay relations or gay marriage? And claim disestablishmentarianism? Bull.
That you can have a president lie to send you to war to destroy a country that didn't do what your government claimed, and then re-elect him?!
That another President nearly faces impeachment for the much lesser offense of having an affair?
That many Americans seriously believe that since the UN doesn't have an army, they should 'stfu'!
Where petty criminals spend their lives in jails, and white collar criminals get slapped on the wrist?
Where very legitimate arguments against things that happen in your country like these, you ignore them just because you're American?
Just because these horrible things go on in your country, doesn't mean that you're a bad person. But it certainly is not an outrageous thing to criticize your government or other aspects of your society. Honestly, you deserve it.
