I think it's a sign of a lack of a certain type of intelligence. I know that when I hear about a "J. Lo/Ben Affleck" type of thing, I don't really listen. But, I can't even tell you what the Israeli/Palestinian conflicts are actually about because it's not discussed with as much gusto!
Sure, it can be seen as "harmless fun", but I think what really causes other countries to hate us is our lack of interest in THEIR interests...
Not many Americans could tell you who the leaders of many other ocuntries are! And that's the real shame. We are a very selfish, self involved country. Sometimes, I don't balme other countries for not liking us....We need to take our heads out of our asses and acknowledge that we aren't any better off morally or spiritually than a country like Ghana or Sri Lanka!
