Same here, unless it envolved sports such as football or the olympics, or brazillians getting into harsh situations overseas (the one shot in UK, the one kidnapped in Iraq), we are actually the opposite of a patriotic country, we are very self deprecating. I am overly critic about this country and I hate it's politics and social problems as much as I make criticism about international politics - I just don't discuss it here as it would be inapropriated. But what I meant is that some people take my remarks about my political views as personal attacks, like I'm burning the flag or something. I must say I have nothing against US and UK as countries and its people, quite the opposite I enjoy the culture from both countries and I have nothing against the "cultural invasion" made by US (and to some extent UK and europe) over the world, I actually support it. I want to remind you all that although I am absolutely against every single decision made by both governments over the past 200 years and am absolutely disgussed by their political decisions and views, I have NOTHING against its people and the countries themselves... OK? I like you guys.
