Why America is still Awesome

On a serious note, I think when most people complain about the Us, they complain because they want to see the US changed for the better not because they hate this country.

Changed for the better according to their upbringing, and they don't care that maybe we were raised differently..

like several euros here, and several I met and got to know in real life that told me the Constitution should be thrown out because it was outdated, and that the bill of rights should be re-written.

That type of better I can cheerfully live without, and I realize now that this is a lot more attacking of you than I intended but to be honest I am to tired to try and figure out a better way to write it so hope you dont take it personally.

You're as free as the Corporate Oligarchy wants you to be....work, buy stuff and STFU!!

But I love the free enterprise system and entrepreneurial spirit where a man can prosper if he's willing to put in the time and effort.

Petrodollar. You can’t escape it.

Military larger than the next 26 countries behind us.

25 are allies.

.....come at us. You can’t.

If you think the Chinese military is smaller, you have another think coming.

Clichès, so many many clichès in this thread.

What a wonderful sight.


"We Good. We Brave. We Free! Admire us!".
How about you put yourself on the test and try to debunk these stories for yourself.

I think America and its people are great....we'll always welcome the prodigal son back in to the family fold, once they've grown up.

Only developed nation in the world which taxes its citizens wages earned in another country. The only way to avoid the tax is to relinquish citizenship. Land of the free my fat hairy arse lol.
EDIT
The only developed nation in the world which sees cancer patients go bankrupt because their surgery costs so much. I'd be ashamed if my country was like that.

I agree our healthcare system needs work, but I do not believe in socialized medicine. A lot of our friends up North come down and pay for medical care here. I grew up with Military medical, which is like socialized medicine and it was total crap. I'd rather pay and get the best care in the world rather than cheap care with dire results.

Crossing the Border for Care
Frustrated by long waits, some Canadians are heading to the U.S. for medical treatment.

We drive on the proper side of the road,

America maybe Awesome for you Americans, but you guys don't know the difference between the correct side of the road and the incorrect side!!

Ice - we are so cool we drink our drinks with lots and lots and lots of ice the way God meant drinks to be drunk. Warm soda and beer is of the devil!

Are you drinking your beer with ice in it? What kind of monster are you?

You do have Wolverine and Deadpool though. So who really wins in the end?

It's sort of an aspirational truth really.

Maybe we should change the slogan to "freedom really matters to a lot of us."

That way, we are not lying or making false promises.

Personally, I think we'd to well to adopt the slogan of the commonwealth of Virginia, and plaster it everywhere, so that the elite get to see it ad nauseam.

"Sic Semper Tyrannis."

I mean, you've got to love a political entity that has for its official seal, the image of someone killing a king.

You're good. I just think that sometimes we disagree so strongly with our opposition that we think they hate the country. Liberals/conservatives destroying this country. Neither are, we all want the same thing, most people don't even know how to argue logically and aren't capable of taking in new information when it's offered to them.

Why is it so important for some people to remind Americans that America is not the best place in world?
