I know you are very envious but that does not solve anything. It just makes you angry and we cant have you angry it will reduce productivity. And since most of you work for us it is important that you are in good spirits.

Do you trip over your ego when you stand up? Patriotism is all very well and good, but that's ridiculous. Every country has it's own merits, every country has it's downsides. You, dear, are one of America's downsides.

First of all God Bless America! Second of all, people do not accept it because they do not know how easy they have it in this country. Lets see you go to Saudi Arabia and be treated as an inferior! Lets see you go to the Siberian Wasteland in Russia and freeze! Lets see you live in a land known as Vietnam where you cannot even own your own land! Lets see you live in SHEER poverty in countries such as Afghanistan, India, Sudan, Nigeria or Haiti and not hav the simple products of life you require. And it makes me SOO FREAKIN angry when I hear people complaining about Bush, the government, or America itself. People find it hard to realize how great they have it here. I love all other countries, including Russia, Saudi Arabia, Italy, Poland, Vietnam, China, India, and Etc. But I have to say this country is so awesome. God Bless this country and long live the USA!!!

In the history of the world the USA is a baby so I don't think we are great. I would be amazed if this is still a country in 200 years. There was a time when we did have a chance but like all large so-called civilizations the country is in a decline because of greediness pure and simple. What our founding fathers envisioned is fading quickly into nothingness.

There are non so blind as those who can not see!
Oh right and then there are the ones in it that think they are in the best and the outsiders who see for what it really is!!
Seriously dude, step back, look at if from the outside, you're a bunch of racist, warmongers, powertrippin' cause you got a good bit o' land! Most of the economic wealth in America does not even come from you,,,foreign investors, even your movies and television are run by other countries. We don't want to be you we just want to exploit your egomenical citizens.
I don't know anyone NOT ONE person that would trade living in Canada for living in the US, but I can name 20 friends that would move here in a heartbeat if we wanted y'all!

O.o
Why must it always come down to "you're so jealous of us Americans"?. Why would we want to live with a President and government like yours that promotes the ideals of democracy when they cant apply it correctly at home. Envious? Of the arrogance that you and so many of your countrymen seem to carry round with you? Pull your head out of your behind for a little while, stop listening to all the people telling you they want to live in the US and stop watching Fox. Its bad for your health.
My country is just as great to live in as i'm sure you find the US. So hows about you stop waving your flag in my face and give me room to wave mine? I find it wonderful that you are patriotic but dont push it and assume that your so much better than the rest of us out here in the big wide world. When it comes to it, you'll learn the value of country interdependence (thats when we all rely on each other for progression and development in case you didnt see that).

Nothing lasts forever. Lots of other countries (or city-states) had the same attitude, and look where they are now: ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome, Alexandria, Baghdad, London, Berlin, Paris, etc.
Arrogance is a very self-destructive character flaw.
Get educated, lose your ignorance and study some history.
A bit of humility will do you a lot of good.
Signed,
An American citizen

In what way. In military power, and economic ability, undoubtably.
In terms of friendlyness and crime rates, you are behind Australia and NZ. Pretty much though, if i couldn't live in Australia, I would next move to the U.S. (if they'd allow me). There's no way i would move to any middle eastern country (not even for a holiday), nor asia (they also ostracise white people). Fortunately i have an eu passport as well, and would move their in the event i can't go to the U.S. (if i had to leave Aust for any reason).

I am a European born naturalized citizen. I agree with you that America is the greatest but don't expect other nationalities to accept it. Human psychology don't work that way. When faced with superiority, the natural human instinct is to deny it that superiority, try to tear it down and at the same time impune it will all sorts of evil.

Its hard for some people to accept precisely because of the arrogant nature of people like you.
No-one denies that America is more powerful and more wealthy than any other country. I think what winds people up is the attitude that America is better and more important than anywhere else on earth, and that anyone who disagrees is 'jealous'.
I can assure you I am not jealous. I couldnt bear to live there because I cant stand arrogant morons.

What a choad.
We been around as a country for a couple of hundred years. With our current attitudes and policies we'll cease to be a great power in the next hundred. Far short of the time the Romans, Greeks, Brits, or even Muslims held power.
