One reason why America is awesome is that we usually don't insult other countries like other countries insult us! Seriously, all of the insults I see on the internet flow from Europeans to Americans, not the other way around.
Another reason is that we actually like and respect other countries. We also like to help other countries.
America accepts a vast variety of different cultures, religions and ways of life.
We have freedom of press, religion, assembly, speech and the right to bear arms.
Seriously, if our country sucks so badly, then why do we have such a massive problem with illegal immigration?

deciding that intelligent design/creationism is a better idea than evolution.
Evolution is a lie! Charles Darwin himself said that there are no transitional forms in the fossil record. The following videos strongly refute evolution based on the fossil record.

The Bible is filled with scientific accuracies. The following are just a few examples.
The earth free-floats in space (Job 26:7), affected only by gravity. While other sources declared the earth sat on the back of an elephant or turtle, or was held up by Atlas, the Bible alone states what we now know to be true ? ?He hangs the earth on nothing.?
Creation is made of particles, indiscernible to our eyes (Hebrews 11:3). Not until the 19th century was it discovered that all visible matter consists of invisible elements.
When dealing with disease, clothes and body should be washed under running water (Leviticus 15:13). For centuries people naively washed in standing water. Today we recognize the need to wash away germs with fresh water.
There are mountains on the bottom of the ocean floor (Jonah 2:5-6). Only in the last century have we discovered that there are towering mountains and deep trenches in the depths of the sea.
The earth is a sphere (Isaiah 40:22). At a time when many thought the earth was flat, the Bible told us that the earth is spherical.
scripture assumes a revolving (spherical) earth (Luke 17:34-36). Jesus said that at His return some would be asleep at night while others would be working at day time activities in the field. This is a clear indication of a revolving earth, with day and night occurring simultaneously.
Hydrological cycle described (Ecclesiastes 1:7; Jeremiah 10:13; Amos 9:6). Four thousand years ago the Bible declared that God ?draws up drops of water, which distill as rain from the mist, which the clouds drop down and pour abundantly on man? (Job 36:27-28). The ancients observed mighty rivers flowing into the ocean, but they could not conceive why the sea level never rose. Though they observed rainfall, they had only quaint theories as to its origin. Meteorologists now understand that the hydrological cycle consists of evaporation, atmospheric transportation, distillation, and precipitation.
Light travels in a path (Job 38:19). Light is said to have a ?way? [Hebrew: derek, literally a traveled path or road]. Until the 17th century it was believed that light was transmitted instantaneously. We now know that light is a form of energy that travels at ~186,000 miles per second in a straight line. Indeed, there is a ?way? of light.
Medical quarantine instituted (Leviticus 13:45-46; Numbers 5:1-4). Long before man understood the principles of quarantine, God commanded the Israelites to isolate those with a contagious disease until cured.
Each star is unique (1 Corinthians 15:41). Centuries before the advent of the telescope, the Bible declared what only God and the angels knew ? each star varies in size and intensity!
Where did these ancient people get these scientific facts?
Kepplar, Newton, Einstein and Kelvin all believed in a God.
