i have been accused of being anti-american and even an american hater. i can see how people might think this as i constantly complain about the current administration's policies and actions.
on the contrary, i love america. it's huge. it's beautiful. it's full of incredible and wonderful people.
i've been in the mountains of california. the deserts of california, arizona and texas. the carolinian forests of missouri remind me of ontario's near north, the most beautiful place on the planet. i lived in new hampshire and regularly drove up vermont to canada. the entire state of vermont looks like one of those paintings of vermont. it's amazing. new york is awesome from it's cities to it's cottage country. the finger lakes are breath taking (they really are).
i've been to LA, hollywood, san fransisco, sacramento (lived there for a year), buffalo (partied heavily there at least once a month for 5 years), cleveland, hartford and a few others. i've never ever had a problem with anyone and no one ever gave me a hard time.
america is full of intelligent, innovative, hard working people. it's obvious in the products we have and use today.

let's hear some good stuff about america. there's tons to hear about.

America invented computers!

Actually, Alan Turing invented computers and he was English.

It also invented Einstein.

All of the places where people aren't are great! But seriously, there are some areas in the Appalacian mountains and thereabouts near the Blue Ridge Parkway.

There's a myriad of places I'd like to visit, and most of them happen to be in America.
Looks like we're not going down after all, so nevermind.

I'm sure everyone has plenty good to say. They'd just rather be whining like little kiddies about something than praise something else.

Hamburgers.

Perhaps the only thing.

There are plenty of great things from America!
  • Rugby.
  • Chicken Tikka Masala.
  • Chinese People.
  • ***.
  • Harry Potter.
  • Rubber balls and liquor.
  • Then I say something.

America...... I have plenty of good things to say, but then I'd sound all sappy. You sound much more macho and intelligent when you insult things.

I happen to love American fiction writers like Hemingway and Steinbeck.

Baseball is kind of cool. Football needs to stop.

Hatecrimes are way down. That's good.

We can make lots of money and buy huge trucks and SUVs.

We have dollars.

I rather like America, myself. Been to NYC, Washington D.C., and a couple of other places up north, along with living in the South, and... I don't know. I just like it. It's a nice place.

South Dakota is like...my favorite state, ever. Beautiful, nice weather, no stupid gun laws (I'm in Illinois).

South Dakota, a good thing in America.
I had a blog. It sucked.

Its sometimes hard to say and remember off the top of the head. Prehaps if we leave the country, we would know quicker.

Ironic, since they came out in Hamburg, Germany.

I can't say alot of beautiful things are in America, but the Rocky Mountains in Colorado have some of the BEST scenery ever.

Absolutely amazing.

Most of the stuff I want to visit is back in the motherland. (Ireland, England, and Holland)

Indeed, but they wouldn't be that famous today if it wasn't for USA.

And also was in DMC, and I ask how can you know what light is, if there was no dark?

What? I do.

I mean, um...I do like America it's just insults are just so much easier to think of. I like Colorado a lot though. The Rocky Mountains (minus those in NM) are beautiful.

I tell the truth, Alaska is a gorgeous place. I visited last summer and was blown away by the Kenai peninsula. Possibly my favorite part of the country... In the summer. :o
