Answer 1

because everyone "whishes" their country was the best in all those things.

Answer 2

Would you rather live in another country? North Korea, or maybe Iran?

I don't understand the current tendency to glorify the negative aspects of our country and society. No place is perfect, "the GREATEST", or whatever. Life in any place is a series of trade-offs and decisions, whether you live here or in the socialist paradise of North Korea. The thing that makes us different as a country is that we have so many choices, and the freedom to make them without being shot, mutilated or imprisoned.

I'll take living in America over any other choice, no matter what the neo-Communists of the loony left have to say.

Answer 3

Because lately most of all of the great inventions, creations, etc. are coming from the U.S.:

The best movies
The best fast food
The best computer stuff (software, hardware, etc.)
The best jeans
The best sports wear
The best music.........

Answer 4

Cause we kick that Middle East ace that's why... and we have Chuck Norris so don't question this anymore douche!

Answer 5

Power of the dollar. That's it. .
