Is the US fucking awesome?

[usamamasan1]

butter prices are reasonable.

I think blanket nationalist pride is the refuge of lazy-minded fools...but that's just me.

So those Olympic gold medals in hockey are meaningless to you?

I don't have a problem saying 'Canada rules at hockey'...but I would never just say 'Canada rules'....

Not to discount the rest of this earth, but yes, I do believe it is.

This country HAS been awesome, is teetering somewhat at the moment, but can return to its former awesomeness. Some kinks need to be worked out first, I think.

I love the freedom here to not only succeed, but also to fail (the latter usually HAS to happen in order for the former to). And, after failing, still having the opportunity to try again - and not with the "everyone's a winner!" mentality because let's face it, everyone is not.

The US, to me, is about liberty. Providing it, living it. Many in my family came here hopeful about their new wide-open future and the right to live their lives free of restraint of thought, religion, sexuality.

This is a magnificent land made up of some magnificent people. From all over.

I love it.

As long as you're a straight christian.

I do dig this country, but come on.

It's the best place to be living however as for blessings, I'd bless the the ENTIRE WORLD!

Peace

I was thinking the same thing. The U.S. is a great place in many ways. But it's like the rest of the world- it has good people and not so good people. It has places I love seeing and places I don't care to see again.

I guess I'm more of a community or planetary kind of person- macro or micro. I don't understand political boundaries. Geographic boundaries make more sense. Regional makes more sense to me. If it weren't for political boundaries, unless you're crossing a river or an ocean or you come across another tribe, you would never know you're going from one state or country into another.

Community makes more sense to me than state or nation.

That strikes me as unfair and somewhat narrowly-viewed.

My family isn't Christian and one side is middle-eastern. Pretty diverse, actually, on all fronts. They've not only been welcomed by their countrymen, but helped them out as well.

So, I see your "come on" and raise you a "really"?

Perhaps, and that's great to hear. Life is much easier in this country for a white, straight christian than it is for many others. Your family's story is great and is probably what the majority experiences but to say you can live your life free of restraint, especially when it comes to sexuality, I think is a hell of a stretch.

Edit: And don't get me wrong,as I said in the beginning, I am a fan of this country.

[UpSideDown]

America, Fuck Yeah!

Should be a federal standard sign at all our border entry points.

[Lizard]

I like my country by honestly....since I have never lived anywhere else to compare, I can't really say it is FUCKING AWESOME.

[josevolution]

It is , but there are somany other places that are just as good it's called get out and see the World ....

that is good advice in any case.

I only know the US as a tourist, but yes, it's awesome and I want to go back & see more of it. has its ups and downs like any place in the world...some of the downs are great topics to make fun of, some are pretty sad, which also goes for most countries.

[Smellyman]

I have visited other places that are fucking awesomer.

[ComeToTX]

I haven't been to another country I would move to but with our resources it could be so much better.

[Byrnzie]

Why is it only Americans that feel the need to say things like this?


Seems like a form of insecurity to me.

[Loulou]

I can only speak as a visitor to the US and i thought it was amazing. You guys are such lovely people, made us feel very welcome. Thank you.
