Before you bust out the flamethrowers, hear me out. America gets a lot of stick, and I'll be the first to admit that most of it's justified to some degree; it seems like most of our shows are just reality shows about borderline-retarded celebrities who have more money than Jesus but couldn't find their ass with both hands and a flashlight (torch, whatever). Also, *koff koff scientologists koff kaaaaffff* But I want to hear what people like about us, because let's be honest, we're not all bad. That goes for other Americans too; what do you like about living here? I know it's hard to muster any enthusiasm for this place, but there's gotta be something you like about it. So how 'bout it?
Also, please, no political discussions. Seriously, I'm on bended knee here; I wanna try to keep this discussion friendly if at all possible, and whenever the discussion turns to politics, it never ends well. Thanks!
Edit: Might as well get the ball rolling. I like the fact that America's such a mishmash of cultures; it's awesome that you can find so many different backgrounds and traditions here, and we manage to (mostly) coexist peacefully despite our differences. It's sort of a tragedy that that diversity came at the expense of so much Native American culture, but at least there are still people around who are trying to keep it alive.
