I didn't take your post as USA bashin', if I thought you were I would have just ignorded it.I just don't understand why you were not sure what we are about. I think so far you got some good replys here. I think we have a LOT of things that need fixin and I'm happy to point them out. I'm just so tired of being put down by the rest of the world for being American.Why did you say that you didn't go to school? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You got some good replys.And just for the record I hate jumping on any band wagons and I believe that befor you go waving any flags you gotta know where you stand. It's hard to reply in emails cause people don't know how you mean things. It's easy for thing to sound harsh and really, how many fuckin smiley faces can we use. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"GOD BLESS AMERICA...LAND OF THE FREE..."sorry i just thought we should sing during this reply. While i'm not saying a there is anything wrong here in this post. Your right, we do a lot of fuck up shit and there are a lot of serious problems in the US, but I still think I would rather live here than anywhere else. I just hope you will note some if not all the good stuff we're about, while we all try to work together to fix the fucked up parts.and you thought i was going to yell at ya...didn't you.

tribal Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 bullshit, i lived in USSR for 10 years, americans are angels compared to what my drunk comrades did. a lot of bashing that US takes is completely undeserved. americans on average are good hearted people with a simple outlook on the world. their only true shortcoming is naiiveness. buddy you dont realise how much shit other nations are involved in, because the main cover for them is US, because we are powerful and rich, we make one sexy scapegoat. baaaaah.

dolik Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 i know this has been said before but c'mon...CAPITALISMwhen it comes to big corporations, we kick ass. and if you think about it, because of that, we have the best of everything...best (biggest) army, most advanced technology, most influential stock markets...whatever you may think of, America has it times two. go ahead disagree, its true. maybe germans got the best cars, we got more of their cars here than they do. italy got good food? well the best italian chefs are right here in the us of a. dgmodel, we dont NEED a claim to fame...despite all the drawbacks, we're the center of the world right now. no matter what happens, what gets discovered or thought of, chances are its gonna either happen in america or will have america involved.

kaligirl Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Plain and simple we are known for freedom and opportunity. Why do you think immigrants come here? For instance Mexicans come illeaglly across the borders to make a living and send money back to thier families in Mexico. There are opportunities for everyone to go to school, to work and to live in a "free society. People don't come here because we have McDonald's, Disneyland and 500 channels of tv.
