It's a two fold thing for most people in America, though. Those three words, to a lot of people, represent some sort of weakness. It also requires some enlightenment to fully appreciate the meaning of the words, which requires an emotional understanding of the concepts behind their meaning. Most people in this country are not willing to learn concepts when they aren't presented with dramatic music or an ego boost. Take the parking lot confrontation thread, people saying the old man is practically an American Hero for "defending" himself, while others respond to it under the assumption that any disagreement between two adult men instantly means that a gun is going to be involved and an argument over a parking spot is a fight for one's life. Sure, it happens sometimes, but not in every instance. It's the result of a population that lives in their cars and is addicted to eating lunch in that car and being terrified by what they hear on the radio about the teeming masses of people outside their window that are just chomping at the bit to take what they've got.
