Actually, the best thing about America is that its average citizen is so morally lazy and willfully ignorant as to make even me look pretty good by comparison. Also that its less average citizens are finally getting fed up enough to turn off WWF or "Friends", read a damned book, think a little, and maybe complain about the crappiness of the ruling system currently in place. The founding members of this country have got to be spinning in their graves fast enough to act as an alternative energy source.

Much of what I did love about this country has been eroded, so most of the comments I would have made about the time this board was starting out, I can't any longer make. I guess I'm just happy that some of us, as obnoxious Americans, will always have the outspoken rude loudness to bitch about injustice, no matter whose Happy Sparkly Capitalist-Imperialist Fun Party doing so rains on.
Man, this is supposed a pro american thread. There are 1,000 other threads were we've all already been called fat and lazy. Can't at least one be rid of it?

I can't think exactly WHY I like this country, which is somewhat why I love it. I'm accustomed to growing up to what this country has to provide, like peace. And no, please don't make a comment about like "PEACE LOLZ OMG LEIK AMERICAZ STARTZ DA WARS" because I've never had to be afraid of someone suicide bombing a store I was in. I don't KNOW what it's like to be afraid of that type of stuff, so I'm very thankful for that.

Oh, and most of my favourite musical artists/bands come from America (Tori Amos, System of a Down, Evanescence, etc.)
