why IS America so friendly?

I know...really random topic right? Isn't that the idea behind all of this?

Anyways, so you are probably wondering why I have a rather large picture of probably one of the most critical people on my blog.

I was working out last week and the new season of "America's favorite show" American Idol came on. I decided to go ahead and watch it - why not? Passes the time I guess!

At the end of the show Simon posed a question "Why is it that people in America are so excited and happy when people they know succeed?" And that got me thinking...is it merely the fact that Europeans are down right rude (not too sure about this one) or are we, as Americans overly nice? Why do we get excited when a friend or a family member succeeds. Because we LOVE people...take a hint Simon! But then again, that comes to the question what is love? In the Bible it says that God is love and in order to know love you are to know God. Which, personally, I think makes perfect sense, but then to the people who don't believe in God or have different views that probably puts them off. But we are all allowed to believe what we want to believe right?

So, why are we as a culture, so friendly? Because most of us experience genuine love for others thus promoting us to have a joyous feeling when someone we know succeeds.

Maybe Simon needs to be reading this...take a hint, buddy!
