Interesting, I didn't think most of U would agree. I'm gonna tell whatever her name is that I've also lived in many different countries and the US is far from being the best of them, I strongly prefer Europe for a bunch of reasons but let's not go somewhere else. US land of the free? Fun fun, France is a free country and more than the US I say, Holland, Germany are free countries but they don't claim being THE land of the free or "Proud to be European..." Common, wake up people go riot in the streets if your country is so free!

truth teller, that's fun, you read books to not be a total looser? sorry but lol so hard!

Answer 1

11. We can choose any country and attack them. (Iraq was there on the list. now Iran, N Korea, Sudan..)

Answer 2

Where in the HeII do you get your information. I really want to know who would be stupid enough to believe most of this. The only one that you got a correct fact on was "Schwarzy Governor" and he can be anything he wants just like you. Or would you rather be a society of people that can not do what they want . When you grow up and realize that it is not possible to be a tree hugger and make a real living then maybe you will come to your senses. Or at least move out so the rest of us that live in the real world can get by.

Answer 3

Here's a suggestion: Next time you are feeling like this, move to another country, After living there for a while, you will come back to ours and thank the heavens that it is your country. I have lived in many other countries, and though ours may not be perfect, it is, by far, the superior choice. Countries are made up of human beings. Human beings are flawed, therefore, no country is perfect. But, I guarantee you, ours is the best game going. For one, in how many other countries do you think you could post this kind of criticism about the government without being jailed or worse? Think about it.

Answer 4

I don't know it this will be the pride of American- they Americans aren't forced to study and learn very hard, for they accept great many immigrants from all over the world, including the very clever, the poor and others. So they can lead a slow life? this is only my shallow idea, haha. but your 12 reasons are all too negative...
I do dislike that lots of people regard the U.S as the country of freedom. there's no reason, i just don't want to such a terrible word.

Answer 5

oftentimes, academically-knowledgeable human beings have an inclination to be plenty a lot less nationalistic. i'm delighted with astounding excellent right here- Separation of Church and State bill of Rights tremendous structure Interstate highway kit Rock 'n' Roll music Apple Pie college of California kit NYU yet no longer plenty with- George Bush Capital punishment Unilateralism Tax structure that favours the wealthy lack of wide-spread health coverage warmth canines 357 channels and below no situations some aspect on

Answer 6

remember, the very fact you have the freedom to ask this question tells you why you should be proud to be an American. Also, if you disagree with the way things are you have the power to incite change and bring it to the masses, if the people agree, change can occur. However, that does not require you to be proud of our elected officials when they use their power to fulfill their own personal agenda, those currently entrusted with power have betrayed the American people for their own end gain.

Answer 7

yeah i can't think of aany
actually that's not true
I'm ambivalnet
On one hadn America does have a lot more freedom then countries like Iran.. and the economy and the educatinonal oportunites are mcuh better then nations in Africa or other devleoping nations
I think the problem is that given the head start that America has .. it has not fulfilled its' potential. America could be a beacon of deomocary and equality but it has failed its forefathers.. .That is hwat I think the problem is

Answer 8

What abt other countries?
is their governments are the best?
I'm an Iranian,
except the glorious history, i don't like to stay here...
I'm so sick of the government who is reigning...
they cant (and also don't want to) keep the country stable,
too many ppl are living in poverty, without any war!!
by the way you have to know that iran is one of the most wealthy countries in the world.

Answer 9

You're forgetting that Americans are not the government.

There's good people (and bad, of course) in America. Our government may be nothing to be proud of, but that says nothing of the people. Keep "The State" and "The People" seperate. "Of the people, by the people" is just a myth.

Answer 10

One good thing is your right to post this kind of utter crap. In most other countries you'd be jailed or even tortured. Keep on abusing that First Amendment.

Answer 11

Yoshi, America says you are entitled to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, thats it, its now up to you ,you are free to live your life as you choose, if you become a loser in life, you made the choices that got you their, dont lame America, look in the mirror, thats the person to blame.
