American

A citizen of a country in which "freedom" has been stressed to too much of an extent for far too long. Yes, the word "American" unfortunately is commonly correctly defined as "an ignorant, bigoted, gluttonous prick". Those Americans who have exploited the word "freedom" are an embarrassment to say the least. I'm an American and I must say I'm humiliated on a day-to-day basis by my fellow citizens' ignorance, but to those of you who are reading this as a non-American citizen, please know we're not all the same. Anyone who is well educated in world history, however, surely knows of mistakes made by nations in the past. The United States is still a young nation and therefore still exhibits the ignorance that older countries have already learned from. When you think of the word "American" try to remember that while most Americans exploit the word "freedom" many of them acknowledge the word "accountability". Fellow Americans: We can change these problems. Humble Yourselves!
