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

The Replacements, sad that most of the world never got to hear the latter.

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...]

I love Las Vegas

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.

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.

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.
