what would motivate you to visit the "Americans Abroad" group, anyway?

I remember you from a couple of other threads that revolve around the topics like: The USA is Slipping in the World; Ex-pats; America is Going Down the Drain, etc. I remember you as being very angry and defensive, and seeming to take any criticism of the USA personally. Any unfavorable comparisons to anywhere else in the world seemed to cause some upset with you. What was that about, anyway?
