Not you as a person. You, as a society. Everyone doing a little bit of homework knows about the National Parks, artist, theater and music scene. But what makes headlines is the military and it's actions.

We are stable and have good neighbors, aren't as crowded as Europe.

If stable means we can't do shit, then yes....we are stable.  As far as neighbors go...

As for the crowding...yeah.



It's fine if you don't need water.


You don't have to go through super cold winters like Canada.

Ever hear of Minnesota?  The Dakotas.  Montana?  Buffalo, NY?

Even poor people own cars



Same in Cairo.

and X-boxes in America.

Hey, finally found something we're great in.....fucking video games.

We have the best weed.

Only because we import it.

America is pretty good.

Pretty good is not "great."

Americans, too, should be judged on individual qualities. Many Americans think America is the Greatest Nation Evah. Many Americans also are aware of the nation's shortcomings. Judging anything -- a country, a faith, a company, a people -- by headlines is going to be necessarily inaccurate, insofar as details will always get glossed-over.

Don't need to tell that to me. But the international public judges based on headlines. That's why I called it bad advertisment.

Well, it's a good thing my post didn't hit the newspapers, now isn't it?

I look forward to the day when my utterances are cable-news fodder. Until then, an online post is not an advertisement.

Yo mama's the greatest country.

As an American, I don't understand... what's wrong with bacon?
