Why would I love another country more than mine? To me, it's like loving your neighbor's kid more than yours, just because he/she is smarter or prettier.
Well, maybe that was a poor comparison... But, although all its problems, your country will always be a part of who you are. Loving your country, your roots, is part of self-love.
Also, everywhere has its pros and cons. Anyone who's looking for a heaven on earth surely have slept through geography classes.
Anyway, I live quite well in my country, lots of people live quite well here. We're having now a big immigrational wave to here, many people from all continents are leaving their countries lo live here. There are many joys of living here.
There some are problems, of course, but they aren't our exclusivity! Also, there is a lot of people here fighting to erradicate them. And we're having some victories. We have much more than just hope.
We're on the World's spotlight.
I want to travel and study all over the world, but my heart will be always in Brazil.
My discourse may sound cheesy and cheap to some of you, but I just don't give a damn.
The US is too conservative for my taste, mostly due to the influence of the former Confederate states. (We maybe should have let them go when we had the chance.) If I didn't live in a very liberal part of the country, I probably would have decamped for Canada years ago.
I really admire SOME of the cultural aspects of many other countries. However, as a US citizen who has never lived outside of the States [yet] I have to say "no." Sure, other places look nice through brochures and television, but I won't know if I favor another country or not until I've actually lived there for some time.
I need cheering up...

America is boring.
