The Love America Thread

[Sava]

1. You can't go 2 miles without seeing a restaurant... (FOOD!)
2. Entertainment... 100's of TV channels, tons of movies, video games, etc...
3. When in doubt, turn on the TV and make fun of the white-males that "lead" our country.

[SlowwHand]

Freedom of speech gives us the right to express our opinion without fear, no matter how stupid the opinion is in reality.

Freedom of religion gives us the right to worship as we choose, without fear; regardless if one is a Fire and Brimstone Baptist, a Wiccan, or a sensible Methodist.

Freedom of expression insures our rights to make total asses of ourselves, as we protest for our right to screw up.

[tinyp3nis]

Our Germans got to the moon before anyone elses Germans.

Looks like a sig. My sig. Pretty please?

1. You take blame for the rest of the western world.
2. You have military, so we don't have to . This will probably change .
3. The country is very different in different areas. Any bad thing one can come up with about America, is usually specific only to some region. Crowded, rude, noisy? Don't go to New York, there is much more to USA than the big cities. I would however love to see N.Y.

[David Floyd]

Lancer - how'd we save the world in WW1? It's not as if the Imperial Germans were evil, ya know...

[Immortal Wombat]

You have military, so we don't have to.

And you're miles away!

Oooops sorry that is a love america thread...



Ok,
The Ramones, (and I even forgive that one of their members was a republican)

[Sten Sture]

1) 99% of everyone here is from somewhere else. I had dinner last night with a Sri Lankan, an Irishman, two Mexicans, an Argie, a gay Pueto Rican, and a half Russian Jew/half Syrian Muslim from New York. The waitress was a Kiwi.

2) The Replacements

3) Our salesmen. We will flat out try to get anybody to buy anything.

[Arrian]

F-off Paiktis. Christ, he opens a "love America" thread and posts that ****. Post it elsewhere, by all means, but not here.

My list:

1) "Can-do" attitude
2) Variety, baby! It's the spice of life.
3) Nearly all of us are mutts, and I think we're better for it.

-Arrian

[Bereta_Eder]

It is called tough love
And please don't swear
the american syndrome of "we need a friend" is getting out of hand

[Arrian]

I just thought you *might* have at least enough tact to just ignore this thread. Silly me. My expectations and your actually behavior didn't coincide, and it pissed me off. Serves me right for expecting too much of you.

-Arrian

[Bereta_Eder]

Just trolling the trolls.
Apologies for the none - invloved.

I respected the 11sept anniversary even though the trolls didnt respect other anniversaries.

[Ozz]

Thinking BIG, then actually attempting it.

And succeeding, (ie Hoover Dam, Mt Rushmore etc.)

[Caligastia]

1 - Greatest country in the world
2 - Free speech
3 - New York

[Traianvs]

i won't say freedom of speech because america is not really the prime example of it imho, and many other countries have it too..


1) big country with lots of free space and a huge variety of nature... it's got nicer surroundings in the non-megalopolis areas than in my country (no open land here anymore)

2)cartman

3)homer

i really can't think of anything more... maybe the fact that there is still a good amount of people that don't support Bush.. that's positive

THIS IS A FREE ZONE!!!!!!!

Edit: Corrected a fatal error

[Sandman]

1. Denim
2. Pizza
3. Name three things you love about America theads

[Caligastia]

America has more free speech than certain european countries like France who have hate speech laws.

At least until someone develops their space program enough to be able to de-orbit large chunks of rock onto Earth at high velocities. (One reason why I despise those UN treaties.)

[Lars-E]

There are many reasons I'd like to give.

But here's my 3 cents:

Good place for Ruskies. They are overwhelmed with all the goods they see in stores. They are stunned. I know this for a fact, knew some Ruskies.

Food: Peanutbutter, Denny's, McDonald's and other hamburger places are better in the USA than at my place, there's is a place in the USA where they serve the country's best burgers (from the film Fried Green Tomatoes?),etc.

Easy life

They are one of my all-time favorite bands.

ACK!

In Georgia right? Ive been there, and no joke! they do have the best burgers I've ever tasted in my life, and believe me, burgers being one of my favorite foods, Ive had a huge variety. It was an interesting place too... got lots of pictures...

EDIT: the secret ingredient is human... [you'd have to see the movie...]

[Dis]

I love Las Vegas

[TCO]

1. Meritocracy. Not perfect. But still pretty good.

2. Much more social churn. Less of a lingering class structure.

3. Geographic mobility.

WHERE?

[Lancer]

David, it's just generic, we always save the world. It's the cross we as Americans carry with such might and energy. We carry it w/ profound grace, great determination, an eternal faith in our great goodness and an overbearing humility, but we get the job done anyway.

Hmm... i couldnt remember the name to save my life... i could look for it though. it was a little town where they filmed the movie Fried Green Tomatoes (the story of the movie took place in Alabama or somethn). I remember i was visiting my family in Marietta (just outside Atlanta, im sure you know where that is, GP) and we took a car trip. I was a young'en then, being in like 6th or 7th grade. All i remember is my Aunt asking if I wanted to go to Warm Springs (the place FDR always went for thereapeutic stuff for his Polio, and IIRC, it is where he died) , which was somewhat nearby. we didnt have time for Warm Springs tho, in the end. Anyway the burgers were fantastic, i remember, and Ive always wanted to go back. If i find where it is, ill post it.

Kman

[Kramerman]

ah, that took me all about 2 seconds to find. It was filmed in Juliette, Georgia.

And here is a link to the actual resteraunt, the one that was in the movie and is also an active resteraunt.

[Spiffor]

I do not love America (the country), but I do love what some Americans have done :

1) Calvin and Hobbes
2) Civilization
3) Being the absolute scapegoats of the Earth. Life is much easier when you don't have to think before blaming

OOOORAH! USA!

[Mr. President]

Work ethic. Thank God that there is one place left in the Western world where being unemployed is undesirable.

Inventiveness. America has invented more things and advanced technology more than any other country in the modern era, and it produces more new things every day.

Being unafraid. American governments don't care if they stand alone.
