LOL... Amen brotha.

While we have our problems, it\'s still better than most every other place. We have an economy that kicks ass (even when in a ressesion, the economy is still better than most every other place), we have freedom of religion, speech, etc..., and we also have the security of knowing it would be almost impossible to be taken over (If China got a hair up their ass, the UK would be speaking Chinese by next wendsday)
This isn\'t a post putting down other countries, just defending the US.
-
Ya know, I\'m pretty sure that all of that stuff happens in Venezuela also.

The myth of the American dream, that everybody can be successful ;)
and we also have the security of knowing it would be almost impossible to be taken over
A few bombs here and there and we all would be gone.
Nobody is immortal, not even the US of A. And I think 9/11 showed that.
-
9-11 gave us a fat smack of reality. And those Afghans are over there laughing their little towel heads off at us not being able to do shit about it.
-
oh the american dream is not a myth
ANYONE can be successfull in the US

Thats b/c of americans as a collective are arrogant and ignorant and care only what goes on within their little walls.
The above by all means does not include every US citizen of course, but Im sure most of you would agree.
BTW ppl, this was meant to be a humorous post..now look what happend :)

With all due respect to those who died in the terrorist attacks on 9-11-2001, they were only two buildings and "wing" of another. England survived Hitlers Terror bombing while ALL of their major cities lay in heaps looking far worse than "ground zero". God help America if we can be brought to our knees by the collapse of two buildings. :(

9 and 10 are quite humorous.

They do that here too

Seen that HEAPS of times here too.

We have 8 hotdog packets and 12 rolls per pack.. hmmm
10. Only in America......do they have

Got that here, but not many ATMS have braille. A few here and there.

Sigh, what do you think we all have to walk out of our houses with pepper spray in hand each day? Get real man, yea they\'re are some dangerious areas in America but they are usually low class city districts. I\'ve lived in the same city my whole life and I\'ve never once wondered if Im going to be mugged while walking down the street. Im sure they\'re are criminals everywhere you live. I\'d rather live in a country full of criminals then a whole continent full of careless sorry ass drivers *cough*Europe*cough*
Now Im assuming this is what your talking about but if it\'s not well Im still gonna bitch.:boom:
-
I think what Unicron meant was he predicted alot of military warfare in America.
-
luckee it\'s not your fault, whenever people from other countires see the chance to make fun of America they snatch it up. :) I\'m sick of arguing with em so I try to ignore it.
Soulgrind- what\'s a Pepsi MAX? Just a big Pepsi?
-
I think america is fine. Of course we do have our downsides, actually everyplace has their ups and downs.
Still funny...
-
Me lovey America! :D
