Bread that has so much sugar in it, it tastes like cake. Yuk.
Americans talk about freedom but have the highest number, and highest ratio, of incarcerated citizens of any nation in the world.
Americans talk about peace but have a hand in nearly every 20th century war, more so than any other nation.
Americans have had leaders, like Lincoln, Kennedy and those who framed the Constitution, with truly great and beautiful dreams of a utopian society, but Americans all seem live like it's Gotham City and/or gansta heaven.
Americans are greedily acquisitive and have little charity (surprisingly, the poor give more freely and graciously than the wealthy). I suppose the rest of the world has that flaw.
Americans claim to have been the turning point of WW2 but ignore the fact that it was almost over when they joined. They also ignore the contributions of the Russians in the 'turning of the tide'.
Americans think they have some sort of mandate to be the world police. Yet when a country needs them, but doesn't have anything they want, where's America? Also there's the push into situations where they aren't wanted, like with the bases in Japan, Europe and a lot of the Pacific.
And guns? Americans have a gun crime and gun suicide problem and their solution is more guns?
Americans also have a legal problem. Their law is diluting and becoming meaningless. Law based upon precedent, that is leaving behind the best intent of the original framers of the law, and being replaced with some sort of mechanized inhumane list of actions with which to determine the next iteration. The consequence is insanity like it being 'lawful' to 'abort' those who have already been born!
And the inability to see the world as neither one thing, nor the other. Like 'if you didn't vote for Trump', then you must be an extreme left supporter of the Dems' mindset.
And the belief that public opinion matters more than actual physical limitations and rules. As an example, the idea that if confidence remains high, that the GDP can grow forever (on nothing but a warm feeling).
Americans 'news' seems to consist of a panel of people discussing their opinions, now matter how way-out or un-evidenced the basis. Real actual news seems to escape them.
Americans can invent something, that they know is a fiction because they just made it up, and then immediately use that to justify their opinions, apparently.

You are mostly correct on this but i thought this thread was more light hearted, like why Americans love icecream so much and such
Still i love how you very much said all that had to be said lol
The sugar thing LMFAO!
You want sugar with your sugar? We also have a sugar special this Friday, you can get two sugars for the price of one!

You seriously need some US Civics and World History courses
In the very worst way.
I would be able to knock down all of your neighbor's concept of what you posted line by line
But , I dont have that kind of time.

I am constantly baffled by the the fact that in US cinema and tv-shows the depiction of violence, killing, maiming, torture, often in gory details is deemed OK but show as much as a nipple: instant prudish meltdown.

2) There is a reason the US has been involved in more wars. Of course you know why. Or , you should.

Other than the Chinese, Americans have the biggest egos and are the biggest racists.

So, are you saying that the US is the most criminal country in the world, then?

You aren't going to say that they were saving the world from tyranny, are you?
Imagine Russia or China invading the US and proclaiming that they are freeing the people from the tyranny of capitalism. The US invading another country and 'saving them' almost always leads to significant collateral civilian casualties.
Remember all those Middle Eastern countries that described the US as "the Great Satan"? Sure, you saved them from tyrants such as Saddam Hussein and Osama bin Laden but who put them there in the first place? The people remember.
