If you live here, you can see how Americans are always down to help others, you can see their generosity, and willingness to help. I think the problem lies in the fact that the average joe doesn't exactly know what's going on in other parts of the world. It has less to do with having bad intentions than it does with ignorance. If they really knew the history behind things, the actual facts and conditions, instead of believing the bullshit fed to them from news networks owned by big corporations which are basically in the palms of the government, then things would be different. For example, most Americans don't know about the atrocities the Israeli government carries out against the Palestinian people. All they see on the news is some Arab blowing himself up in a cafe. If they knew the whole story, I think most would be reluctant to pay thousands of their own dollars to the Israeli government. I don't even think that most people know how much of their money is going to the Israeli government each and every year. Point is that Americans are generally kind-hearted people, but you just gotta be able to reach out to them with the truth.

Shit, im American. And believe me id rather live here then anywhere. But also believe me, i see how people are. And SOME do have good intentions of course. But, there are FARRR more that would rather not know anything bad going on in the rest of the world because it might make them sad lol. Ignorance isnt really an excuse. Shit, we're in America. Yeah, the media is bullshit....newspapers can be bullshit....FOX news BULLSHIT...but we have as many resources as anyone to find out the truth of whats really going on in the world. Americans just chose not to. A lot of em just dont want to waste their time with that. It doesnt concern them. High gas prices....now THATS some important shit! Whos gonna win Next Top Model? Definetely important! You mentioned whats going on in Isreal. Man, the entire middle east could be wiped off the face of the planet...and if the news report hit the same time as the final episode of American Idol...no one here would even know.
