I'm sick of all this USA-bashing, so let's discuss why America is great. I'll get the ball rolling.
I love the fact that legally, property is valued more highly than life ! You catch a burglar in your home on his way out with your insured $30 toaster -- shoot him to death ! AND you can get a reward for it ! YAY ! That's my reason - now list yours.

america is great because we have an astounding tolerance toward stereotyping, oversimplifying, wrongheaded critics from abroad

The US is great because they have Perkins and International House of Pancakes. Two establishments that this shitty country lacks.

The way that you aren't judged (especially by the judicial/and law-enforcer groups) by the content of your character, but the color of your skin, among many other insignificant things..

Broadsword through the ribs !
Tho what I said is totally true ! there's even a business that rewards homeowners if they kill them a burglar ! yay ! smell the green stuff ! You're fully within your rights to kill a burglar on your premises - even if he's halfway outta tha window on his way out !

I really love the country. I just got back from a month in Nashville and had the time of my life. The majority of Americans i met were friendly, intelligent and had good senses of humour. USA is a great place. It's just their media and government that gives the States a bad reputation.

yes, I've met many Americans who are decent people. I've also met many Americans who are total brainwashed oiks ! More-so than in the United Kingdom ! Although the United Kingdom is becoming more rotten every day !

i tended to avoid the brainwashed oinks. and belive me, there are plenty in Tennesee. the type of folks that like to keep it in the family. I just treated them with the contempt they diserved. It's the same everywhere. There is always a slew of idiots for which the Dickhead Republican Radar comes in handy. :)

You're only saying that cause you can't afford a toaster. Get a toaster and you'll think differently about burglars, I tell you what.

if you've got a conventional toaster, i've found it works best to rotate the position of the bread every minute or so, most toasters have certain "hotspots" on them and it's usually best to move the bread around so it isn't constantly exposed to it on the same area..

IHOP is genius, I used to cut 1st period back in high school and go there with some mates, you got french toast, pankcakes, eggs AND bacon for 5 bucks. Now THAT'S a deal.

i've spent my whole life in the Seattle area in Washington state and i love it here. The people are very friendly and open minded. there are countless fantastic places to eat. The number of micro-brews is astounding and all of them produce great beer. The weed here is prime time and very cheap.
i don't know much about the rest of america in terms of live-ability but seattle is fucking great.
