I'd sue the doctor for medical malpractice, demand a return ticket from the Pearly Gates, give St. Michael a good slap across his cherub face and have a beer.
I just watched 90% of it, and think it was lovely!
Yep, she was a little shocked at first, but I think the shortlived period of upset was more than made up for with the look of sheer delight on her face for the rest of the clip.
You could say Americans are fed up to back teeth of being blamed for having a high respect for their country and their people. They may be more vocal, more in your face with that, but that doesnt mean its wrong.

Being proud to call yourself a citizen of that country, celebrating its achievements and history, pride in being lucky enough to have been born in that country..
Being a "Patriot" does not necesarily mean you agree with all your country's policies, agree with everything that is done or said in that country, but accepting that there is good and bad policy and the good outweighs the bad.
Not being blind to its faults, in other words but still being proud to be a citizen.

Yes, of course we can be real friends here, and on the internet. I have friends here I keep in touch with off site, and also I play a game on FB that is a great way of getting to know folks. I have met an American lady who is married to an English lad, who is going through the immigration process, and we have all become friends, have spoken on the telephone, and intend to meet soon.
The internet is just another outlet to meet people, and sometimes, if youre lucky, they can turn into real, good, longterm friends.
