America appreciation thread

I figured everyone in FYM would love a thread dedicated to the praise of the nation I happen to hail from. We have our faults yes...but so does every other country. And I figured a *Little* appreciation might balance the america bashing.

America is Beautiful to me because..


-of her diversity
-of her oppurtunity
-of her uniqueness
-of her majesty
-of her entrepreneurship
-and Jennifer Lopez's great ASS.

I'll add more later..

You Know.. I don't understand this.. Just a few Days ago I posted up a 'Bubba Appreciation' Thread, and it was torn down to the sewers by wave after wave of Fecical Matter Flowing into the replying posts?..

Hahha.. Oh Well..

Carry on My Friend,
God Bless America. And God Bless the 'Listener'.

Best thing about America...the people ;-)

No, seriously - I was in the US as an exchange student and one of the things I really loved was how willing people were to help me. I loved that people were proud of their country and wanted to teach me about it. I loved how people tried to make me feel welcome there and include me in their plans.

I know I've been one of the people in this forum who can be pretty critical of the US government, especially its foreign policy, but that doesn't mean I don't like the country or I don't like the American people because for the most part, I love both

being about as good or bad as most other countries doesn't make you mediocre

If we have an American appreciation thread we have to have appreciation threads for all other countries. For their diversity, for ther opportunity, for their uniqueness, for their majesty, for their entrepeneurship, for their history.

We did, last year. Let's see - we praised Switzerland, Australia, and some others...

I'm not, these things have a way of sneaking into a thread and rarely happen at the start of a thread. Besides, the people who are not from the US were probably sleeping when you posted the thread.

I Love America because-

The variety of resturants...
The variety of music...
The variety of culture

The advancement of technology
The advancement of medicine
The advancement of humanity

I love America because of Hooters Resturants..
