Brian and threaders, Years ago, I read a book, "The Ugly American." It's basic theme, "If you just give material things (free handout) to others without assisting them to progress, grow, succeed and feel good about themselves, they will resent you and come back and bite you the giver." In my opinion, we have to help other to help themselves and succeed. Brian and others of you who have traveled outside the US, how are we perceived by other nations and cultures in regard to the above statement?
