In spite of the corruption, America is a great place to live. This thread is for people to tell why they think America is a great place to live. Here is what I see: The American people themselves are largely very generous and will lend a helping hand to those in need. The State governments vary, some are better than others, but they can be independent from Federal rule, take care of their own citizens, etc. as long as they are not so dependent on Federal funds. People for the most part feel safe and there is law and order. We have freedom of religion. We have freedom of speech. (so what if some people abuse it.) Military service is voluntary. (Unlike Israel where it is required.) Women have equal rights, (Unlike Muslim countries) We help the poor. (Unlike some other countries) I love this country. |

I've only been out of this country once and I was in Mexico. I couldn't wait to get back across the border.
The Mexicans were very nice people, but when I was there it was almost impossible to place a phone call to America. I felt very cut off. I don't know how it is now, but damn. |

Must of been some time ago? Carry a quadband cellphone and roam the world! It's true, there's no place like home eh? |

Great list JB....Awesome thread!
What I love about America... Her youth!...What she has managed to accomplish in such a short time....Mistakes, sure...The more you do, the more mistakes you are likely to make... Her beauty!...She has it all!...Mountains, oceans and beaches, vineyards and rich farmland, deserts, islands, the seasons...Natural wonders and natural resources, magnificent parks and wildlife preserves, wondrous gardens, lakes and rivers so beautiful they make you cry... Freedom!...No matter how you slice it, I'm still free to speak my mind, own property, move about... Capitalism!...It may be under fire, but it's still alive and working... Patriotism!...We Americans love our country... Opportunity!...Hard work will still buy your dreams... Diversity!...It's one of our greatest challenges because it's one of our greatest strengths... |

You know that the USA is a great nation to live in when foreigners are so desperate to enter the USA that they are willing to violate the USA's immigration laws in order to do so.

Like certain furry aliens. You silly Humans think that we Melmacians all look alike. Well, you're wrong. The above image is an image of my cousin, not me. Here is how he and I compare: Besides, the MiB are not after me because I am already registered with them. Thus, I am not an illegal. See? Now, getting back to the topic of this thread ... America is great because it has plenty of free-range cats. One American lady actually offered me her cat because it ...well... See for yourself. |
