i think that's a very broad generalization. I'm an American and i always wish people the best......but some people just seem destined for failure because of their lifestyle.....and those are the facts :-)
i.e.
Elvis Presley
Jimmy Hendricks
Janis Joplin
Rick James
John Belushi
Anna Nicole Smith
Tupac Shakur
................. i think you get my point.

What's this "we" stuff? As an American, I don't give a rip about celebrities one way or another and I don't wish bad on anyone.

It's a self-confidence boost for them, shows that everyone is human, especially celebrities.

First, I think ALL people think that.
We see celebrities plastered everywhere.
Brad Pitt having sex with Angelina Jolie
Katherine Zeta-Jones having sex with Michael Douglas
Pamela Anderson having sex with everyone
When they fall flat on their face, we realize they are NOT better than I am, only luckier

It's not only Americans, it's people in general. It seems that a part of human nature revels in the misfortunes of others.

That's a false generalization. I don't hope anyone fails.

I think we inherently are born with such a sense of imperialism that it causes us to individually and as a group want others to fail so we can take over what they have. isn't that what manifest destiny is all about?

We think its interesting to see others fail so we can compare ourselves as succeeding
