I can't win the argument precisely because of the human nature of which you speak. A general image of a country and it's citizens takes into account the good and the bad it does. If you conclude that, on balance, a country is more good than bad, there will always be some people who will throw up all the bad stuff to refute your conclusion. I think such people are intellectually incapable of accepting a standard that is less than perfection, yet they should, because within themselves they know their own mistakes do not necessarily make them bad people.
I agree with you that quitters are losers. Yet stopping is not always quitting. You know the sayings, 'don't throw good money after bad' and 'pride goes before the fall'. Prudence is no sin.
