This is no hate speech... Just wondering, and it angers me when people say that they, Americans are the best.

Infact, by doing this many who hate America for it's stereotypical hate of ROW. So its the clone of that french thread, but reversed and for America.

So why do you think America is Awesome.

NO HATE SPEECH

Edit: Changed ROE to ROW. Im sure America dont hate ROE.

I don't think America is awesome,but I would love to visit because it seems to harbour such err interesting people, oh and crazy Christians must meet them and then argue with them. Shine on you crazy americans

Because we kicked your Kings ass and sent your soldiers home with their tails between their legs! Just kidding.

I'm a United Statsian (Yep, made it up) and I definitely don't find the U.S. to be anything spectacular. It's just a country, like the other 190ish countries in the world. I've never been much of a patriot and don't believe in things like "Better dead then red!" So, I guess I'm not the person to ask.

Hate to say this, but you can find crazy Christians just about anywhere.

I think its awesome that the first black president is also a comic book geek.

I don't think America is awesome. It's average. Ok maybe not even that.

There's no such thing as the USA. It's a myth perpetrated by the leaders of the Muslim world, who are in need of a Great Satan to keep the people distracted while they live like kings. They have callcentres and datacentres dedicated to generating all correspondence reportedly from America. All those US soldiers wandering around Iraq? Mercenaries paid to be there, pissing people off.

Between Canada and Mexico, there's a great rift that leads to the centre of the Earth. Canadians and Mexicans, the superstitious lot they are, keep well away from the precipice and don't mention it to anyone, for fear of demons stealing their souls.

It's because I'm there (here?).

Im sure you mean "Better dead than red".

Well, I live near the border... They've got cheap gas and turkeys?

Please. America isn't that awesome. Sure Freedom of Speech is awesome,but it is abused so bad.
Plus, the patriotism level is absurd. I am American but I just hate ahem "Americans"

Becuase we have a song that goes Amrican F^&* Yeah.

I am British but I think I know why Americans are so awesome, warning: contains swear words.

Edit: They aren't Canadian!

BIG AMERICAN TEETEES!

EDIT: Also I love how few people realizes how badly that song mocks USA...

Why is America Awesome?
This is why:

^{Took me a while to choose between all of these pictures I have.}

America is great because their adverts are HILLAROUS, i saw an advert there once for a 4 by 4 that was 'now able to hold up to 4 tonnes' and looking around you see that a large chunk of americas have these and i bet the heaviest and biggest thing they've ever carried with it is a broom. If anyone on the escapist can think of something a normal person would need to move a 4 tonne object then i'll give them a cookie.

Because we invented the orgasmatron as well as self-microwaving bacon hotdogs

Americans probably claim there the best due to the propaganda. but other then that i would say they have there ups and downs but witch country doesn't?

runtheplacered:

America does have a much higher concentration though. Mind you, that may depend whether you consider the likes of Mormons and similar groups Christian - Several of those are actually more zealotry that the Pope.

That said, I don't really have nothing against the US and its folk. I don't really see why they should be in awe of them either.

Oops, I'm pretty sure I meant that too. And that, ladies and gentlemen, is why you should always reread your posts.

Tip #2:
Always know your dealer.

how about a boat? where's my cookie :O

I'm an American and I plan on leaving the US as soon as I finish college. I personally don't agree with the priorities of the US and feel that I would fit in better some place else.

The one thing that we can do is make a cheese burger better than the Brits. Good god, what do you put in those things? And cheese burgers aren't supposed to be served "open-faced"!

He knows too much...

We are not awesome for these reasons:

1. Anyone who gloats about their patriotism isn't a patriot. You don't earn patriotism by yelling about it. You do something with it.
2. Anyone who says we're a Christian nation (a lot of them) needs to get their mouth checked because they're confusing it with their asshole.
3. Our mainstream music is shit.
4. Our government is corrupt. Now, while all governments are, ours is simply ridiculous.
5. We don't honor our own constitution. And by that I mean separation of church and state. Look at Prop 8 and who backs it for evidence.
6. We are so fucking fat.
7. We have a abhorrent health care system.
8. The economy.

I believe that's a good start.

America speaks to much. End of

Well to be honest they makes some pretty decent muscle cars.

Oh my God! Where am I?

Yes. America is an average place. For some reason, we take it upon ourselves to play Big Brother to everyone else. That's probably everyone's biggest problem with us.
I wonder what would happen to the world if America suddenly decided to stay in its own affairs...

I know it is but still a cool song. Good to know first post and I am already making friends.

We're pretty much in the same boat. Although I still am not sure where I'd fit in at. Definitely not England, either, which I consider to be very closely related to the U.S. Cast aside the superficial cultural differences, and I'm not even sure I could tell them apart.

Neosage:
And to the guy above the people who made that song are Canadian. so American if they were any more American than that,they'd turn into BigMacs.

Seriously where did people get the idea that Colorado-born Trey Parker and Matt Stone that comes from Texas are in fact Canadian?

I'm american, I love america, mainly just because it's my home. I've also been to europe and south america, i love the countries of these places too. I don't think we should be the world's babysitter, most americans actually disagree with the way our government acts and forces itself on others. i mean we do have some nutters but who doesn't? most of us are not religion forcing gun toting overweight narcissists. somehow those assholes just end up on tv. you can love your country but i think it was oscar wilde who said, "patriotism is the virtue of the wicked."

Another funny thing about 4 by 4's is that the people that would need to carry 4 tonnes of anything, such as scrap metal so they can sell it for some extra money, can't afford them. If someone was really going to use it for work and not showing it off to all their friends, then they wouldn't need all the luxury features like leather seats, crystal clear speakers, or satalite radio.

Oh my god, you're right! I always thought they were.

I am suddenly happy I voted for him. Does anybody know when his inaugural address is?

No cookie to you, normal people dont have boats that they need to use a car to drive around. Boats can move themselfs :P. Feel free to try again though.
