Being American is about driving a German car to an Irish pub for a Mexican beer,then travelling home, grabbing an Indian curry or a Turkish shish-kebab on the way to sit down on Danish furniture and British shows on a Japanese large-screen plasma tv. And the most American thing of all suspicion of anything foreign.
Oh, yes, and only in America can an Italian pizza made by a Greek chef reach your house faster than an ambulance.
Only in America do supermarkets make sick people walk all the way to the back of the store to get their prescriptions, while healthy people can buy cigarettes at the front.
Only in America do people order double cheeseburgers, large fries (super sized) and a diet soft drink.
Only in America do they use answering machines to screen calls and then have call waiting so we won't miss a call from someone we don't want to talk to in the first place.
Only in America do we leave vehicles worth tens of thousands of dollars in the driveway and lock our

True true, and that is what makes America great! All kinds of people came to this country and brought all the great things from their country's. And you need pizza way more than ambulances so they should come quicker :) God bless the USA! An abundance of EVERYTHING!

No that is not correct, we are racist against criminals. We like and are made up of people from all walks of life so why we would hate any of us? The problem with Mexico is there is so much corruption in that country, that their people are fleeing, and running to the USA and in many cases they are undocumented. Although we are a large country, we only have so many resources. Once that gets over run then it is only a matter of time before we may be in the same boat as them. So our government has made it illegal for employers to hire any illegal aliens. Now that also includes Canadians, Europeans or any other countries citizen that is not here legally. The only reason Mexico has been in the news is because they want to stay and take what we have but not contribute to our taxes. You can't have it both ways, nor can we as a nation just ignore our laws to cater to a few. If we let the Mexicans come in illegally then why not the Canadians and the others, you can see there would be Kayos. But since you seem like such a caring person yourself, perhaps you would like to give them your address so the could come and stay with you, that way you can see first hand what we have been going through.

Sad, funny, weird, amazing ... and the most populat story most searched by some American population is Paris Hilton in Jail. And the funniest lines in late night talk shows were on the blonde:
In an interview this week Paris Hilton said she never discussed sex with her parents. She said she was too shy to ask them about it. In fact, everything she knows about sex she learned from watching her own video. (Jay Leno)
Paris Hilton has been spotted carrying a Bible around. A lot of
people think she's only trying to improve her image. Paris denied this and said, 'I'm very religious. In fact, I scream out "Oh God" more than anyone." (Conan O'Brien)
Prior to going to jail, Paris Hilton has tried to improve her image by traipsing around L.A. holding a bible. Shouldn’t she be waving an American flag? Oh, that’s right, patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel, religion is the last refuge of a skank. That’s right. (Alex Kaseberg)

Ha! Oh yes, don't forget; apparently America's pretty damned good enough for hundred's of thousand's of people a year to be knocking down our doors trying to get in...But most people need something to complain about...

Then please by all means leave you pin head dim witted moron. No one is making you stay. Make room for a hard working immigrant to come here legally and make a contribution. You sure aren't.
Oh and pollacks, wops, hebs, yids, chinks, limeys, micks, frogs, slopes, japs, beaners, wasps, honkeys, kiwis, hitlers, kikes, canucks, charlies, diaperheads, hook noses, box heads, and camel jockeys can make perfectly good pizza too. That's what makes america great.
