So, what do you all think of that stretch of land that you live life on? Is it awesome like Finland or shitty like the U.K?
I believe this video summarizes the U.S. :

Remember who won?  Can one of you red-coats refresh my brain, it's been dirtied by English soccer these couple of days.

Also, the word 'soccer' is derived from Association Football; as opposed to 'rugger' which derives from Rugby Football. The operative word is 'football', meaning a game in which players use their feet.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'

Vast and filled to the brim with wasted potential?
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

All I can see looking out my window is the Nebraska Sandhills and a large portion of the 500,000 cows in this county. And a Lutheran Church across the street that blocks part of the view.

This does summarise the people of your country quite well: Astounding ignorance of the outside world, like using the Union Flag behind the word 'England'.

We're girt by sea.
Don't feel sorry for us, it's something to rejoice about I think.

When I was young, there was a god with infinite power protecting me. Is there anyone else who felt that way? And was sure about it? but the first time I fell in love, I was thrown down - or maybe I broke free - and I bade farewell to God and became human. Now I don't have God's protection, and I walk on the ground without wings, but I don't regret this hardship. I want to live as a person. -Arina Tanemura

Don't be too cocky. According to the evolutionary biologist Jerry Coyne, the percentage of the British population subscribing to intelligent design and young earth creation still surpasses that of any major country in Europe,including Turkey and Poland.
Furthermore, amongst countries in the main western tradition, British subjects are second only to American evangelical hucksters in setting up fundamentalist ministries amongst third world nations.
