The USA

Patriots and free citizens

You don't really believe that we travelled to the moon thing do you?

Ireland:

...it's hard to argue with success.

We are a good country. Particularly now.

Canada:

...it's hard to argue with success.

We are a good country.

Try it, it works for most countries.

Sweden:

em ...it's hard to argue with success.

We were a good country but now a nice lake for Norway and Finland.


Cannot deny the USA is a good country, can't get enough of it myself. But why the constant need to assert it?

Inferiority complex?

America, in two short decades, allowed my famly to go from destitution to wealth, from oppression to freedom of speech and action.

Notice I say 'allowed'... Because you get what you work for.

Inspite of all the problems we have here, I'm proud to be an American. More proud than I ever was of my native land. This is the nation we chose, not were born into, and if I had to make the choice again, it would be the easiest decision of my life.

Wow, this is a thread subject I've never seen before.
I am willing to bet masturbation is a national sport... and I'm willing to bet more on the fact that SOB probably won most awards! (That is... since Eagler no longer managed to "get it up")

Yes!!!

Always cracks me up when they have the annual baseball contest, and call it the "World" Series. I mean how many teams enter from outside the US, apart from the Toronto Blue Jays?

"We have big balls"

Yeah, but even the Gentiles get clipped!

America is like the proverbial curate's egg - good in parts. And the people are very hospitable. I'll never forget Xmas 1979 in Albuquerque,NM when I was visiting an English friend of mine who was house sitting for his employer. Damned nice house. One of the neighbours brought something round for the house owner on Xmas morning, and when he realised our situation, invited us in for Xmas lunch. I've never forgotten that. hospitable Americans.

So "happiness/wealth" is the same thing too you or is the above a typo?

Nice try.  There are very few people who are destitute  and happy.  Like it or not, those that are financially secure tend to be more happy than those that aren't.

Either the Americans are so insecure that they constantly need to "pat eachoters backs" with these kind of posts.

Or

They truly belive they are better then the rest of the world.

Maniac... It's because we truly believe that we have the best country in the world.  There isn't a shred of insecurity or doubt about our country being the best in the hearts of Americans.  This is really the case.  And whether you think so or not doesn't matter one bit.  Whether you call us nieve, ignorant or (place what you are going to say next) .  It will never change our belief in the greatness of our country.

Maniac, this belief has nothing to do with you.  Honestly, I hope the people of your country feel the same about yours.  And that as well... wouldn't have anything to do with us.

So your border police aren't stopping vans trying to smuggle people in at night, and the INS won't deport illegal aliens ... in fact the term "illegal alien" doesn't even exist in the US ... is that right?

Pretty much.  The pooch got screwed.
