This is gonna sound strange. High self-criticism is what I admire about US. In my country, the check and balances and freedom of speech are not strong enough.

In my country, the check and balances and freedom of speech are not strong enough. People are somewhat reserve about criticizing their own countries. And you can pretty much guess what is happening...
- robocat 5y agoSelf-criticism is my favourite British trait - absolutely no one can take the piss out of the poms like they can do to themselves. It is some sort of reverse pride. I have never noticed much self-criticism in Americans - too many have no clue about other countries so have no point of comparison yet tend to be rather one eyed (overly patriotic) about their own country. By no means all: many travellers tend to be more open minded. My other favourite trait of poms is they recognise and encourage wit at every level of their society.
