Look, you've completely outed yourself as a bigot. People are giving reasons they love the US, like the thread is supposed to be about, and you make it your mission to discredit them as shown in the post you replied to above (Gazrok). No where did he say no one else has what we have. He was simply stating why he loves the country he lives in, much like you flaunt how in love you are with Australia and how you presume it's superior to the US in all the ways you have listed.

Jesus H Christ, I have said that three times on this page alone.....am I talking to a bunch of 2 year olds or something?

I really don't. I left the country years ago. When I told my friends it was like people leaving Germany in the 30s, they all laughed at me and said I was crazy. They still do. They don't see the slow motion train wreck that is happening right in front of their faces.
It's the old frog in the pot scenario. Works every time.

Whats wrong with that? We all grow up eventually and learn with experience. Not everyone thinks like you so its just fine if someone is blinded by jingoistic pride.
Of course it's not the worst country on earth but to have that kind of blind jingoistic pride is just stupid.
BTW I hope everyone is ready for "Well if you damn liberals don't love this cuuntry then get the hell out!" To that I say - I gotta save some money first, it'll take a bit

Now you're just being a smartass.
You guys are deliberately twisting my words in order to get me to bite. I have seen this now, and as you can also see, I am winding down my conversation. I suggest you do the same or soon you'll be talking to yourself....and we all know what people who talk to themselves usually suffer from.edit on 15/2/2012 by Kryties because: (no reason given)

And wars. Lets not forget the wars. Military Industrial Complex anyone?

I saw them.
And then I also saw the posts where you did a 180 and completely contradicted yourself.

Yes, let's not forget the wars - we DO throw the best wars, too!
While we're on the subject of wars, lets mention Korea, Vietnam, Iraq,, Afghanistan, East Timor - because there at least weren't any Aussies poking their noses into other folks business in THOSE wars, were there? Oh, wait...
Never mind. Scratch that thought...
