The very thing that makes it great is that it's a nation like no other. It's the land I call my home! The land of the FREE...

People, people! Please? Everyone on here agrees pretty much that the one thing that everyone wants is "world peace." How can we ever expect to achieve that when we can't even get along on a silly computer program? Tolerance is what we should practice. Tolerance for other cultures, other religions, other races. I can expect taunting from children due to summer vacation, but some of the remarks coming from adults are pretty shocking indeed.
Yes, the United States is a great country! So is Canada, so is the entire UK, so is all of Europe, North and South America, Austraila, and anyone I missed. We all have our strengths and our weaknesses.
Lead by example. Throwing stones at one another only causes problems between all parties involved.
Enjoy your day and may it be blessed.
EDIT: Please don't condemn a whole people for the actions of a few.
And trust me, the US did not pull out of Afghanistan. They are still there.
EDIT PART DEUX: Thumbs down, kind of childish, don't you think? If we were speaking face-to-face I bet you would stick your tounge out, put your thumbs in your ears and wiggle your fingers too. *sigh*

Despite the fact that the United States of America has only been a country for a 231 years, It has achieved far more in this time frame than any of its predecessors.
In spite of hostility and opposition, the United States is a key player in world politics and a major advocate to much of the world abroad.

What makes us great is our history, from Washington crossing the Delaware,Lewis and Clark plunging into the unknown, and many others paving the way for our country. We have fought to keep our freedom and way of life, we arose as a country together and we will defend together, for the future and the past.

America is a land of freedom and power and great people. We help other countries in need and we dont even ask for anything in return; America is truly a beautiful country.

It is great to be in America, as Canada is so nearby. We can get out when we want, and dodge the draft, if it comes again. :D

I'm Canadian. This is why I love America.
You faked the most dramatic attack in your history on your own soil forcing your friends into a war you created. And to make things worse, you pull out of Afghanistan to concentrate on your other war in Iraq which you can't and won't win so my boys and girls change from Peace Keepers to combat role troops and destroy a reputation my country has worked for over 60 years to keep.
Thank you America. Happy Birthday!!!
