What's exactly wrong with the US?
First they are buddies with Pakistan who actually harboured and helped Al Qaeda who shamed the US. Then Bush ridicules the 9/11 committee findings about the nonexistent Saddam - Al Qaeda ties because he doesn't have proof of it and they couldn't find proof of it. Then Chris Columbus makes a Harry Potter movie that couldn't have been farther from the book.
Is this the "American Dream"? Is it going to get over anytime soon?

Actually the harry potter movie went with the book, though they may have made some cuts here and there for time.

Sorry, just pissing myself laughing at this.... with all that's going on in the world, you're worried about Harry potter? :p
Sure America has some things wrong with it at present, but it also has a lot of things right with it. No country is perfect. I could point to India and note that the caste system still seems to be in existence, that your young girls from poor families are farmed out as prostitutes, and don't even get me started on Bollywood :p

It could have been farther from the book if it had been called "john smith and the ice cream cone"

Well, by mentioning Harry Potter, I was just wondering if that's typical of an American. Taking liberties is fine to a certain limit, but when you start distorting the scenes in the book just because you have to make a 90-minute movie out of it, I just can't understand why should one bother with the movie and why not pick up and read the book? Just after ten minutes of watching the movie, I told my brother it sucked and I wanted to get out of the hall by interval. Was the book converted into a movie because people in the US don't read books? I guess the locations also were changed and Harry and other characters appeared more American than British.
Bollywood? I am with you on that. That's one big shame on our country.
Yes, no country is perfect, but I doubt if any other country claims to be.

With actual true to life Brits playing the parts as well. I think even the owl's, frogs, and snakes were British to. The cars were definitely British. :lol:

Al-Queda didn't shame the US!!!...
They shamed themselves by murdering 2500+ innocent people.

Agreed, I'd go as far as to say they shamed the whole Muslim world by performing such a dastardly deed in the name of Allah.
