    Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing?
    Then why call him God? - Epicurus

      Usually US or America. Very rarely USA...
      To us, it is the BEAST.

        I usually call it "Jenkkilä", which translates to something akin to "Yankeeland". It's a common expression for USA, around here in Finland. Or I use "Usa", which is said as a word, not an acronym.

S. presidency

            In English I usually call it the US, though I use USA for emphasis.

            In Chinese it's called "American nation" and I don't know of any other form existing.

                Just don't call it Norteamerica - it offends the Canadians.

                              In my own language.. I also call it 'Jenkkilä' most of the times, but it's not offensive term.

                              If in english, then I prefer using the US... I avoid using America, but sometimes I use the word because I don't want to repeat the same words over and over again.
