You're going off topic. I agree with the last part of what you said... But originally we were talking about hating america but liking what america produces. Everything america produces isnt a national icon. I dont like the way america works, I dont like a lot of american people, I dont like some states... But I like the simpsons, a lot of the music I listen to is from america, and I like american food.

I dont understand why youre saying you cant hate the "notion" of america and like what it produces. Because you can.


I disagree. The "notion" of America is what allowed these companies and these products to flourish in the first place. We are a free country with free enterprise. Hey, it's the land of opportunity. If what you're saying is correct, then Bin Laden could

a) Be a Britney Spear's fan
b) Eat KFC regularly
c) Wear Jordans
and
d) love "Friends"

and still be justified in saying, "I hate America?"

Nah bro...huge discepancy there.
