Happy 4th of July.

[b.k. barunt]

These are idiotic questions.

And Luns, still AMerica isn't the greatest country. I hate that AMerican attutude that we are the best. <_<

Thank you for being mature enough to disagree without labeling or the usual childish name-calling.

You are entitled to your opinion. I am entitled to mine. I love this country and I love living here...except for the Cleveland Indians.

You are entitled to your opinion, and i am entitled to mine. My opinion is that your opinion, i.e. "greatest country on earth" is moronic, uneducated, arrogant, jingoistic, blathering tripe. There - that's my opinion, and as you say, i'm entitled to it.

[Minister Masket]

Very happy to be living in the greatest country on earth. Every time I get back here from someplace else, it's a wonderful experience. Happy 4th to all fellow Americans!

Complete idiotic statement. Wake up fool, there is no such thing.

..and you know what?...it's my opinion and I'm entitled to it. I've traveled outside of my own country and I always love returning to my own. Yeah, I'm a patriot. God bless the United States! I repeat...I'm very happy to be living in the greatest country on earth.

Now I'm going to go to a picnic, play a little American football, have a few laughs, and actually enjoy my life. Why don't you go back to insulting other people who you've never met but are willing to judge.

exactly, MM you dont know much, have you ever been here?? cause i have been to Britain. If you havent even been here you cant say anything. Luns have fun.

FYI, I HAVE been to America, you trollop! I went to Texas a few years ago on hols. T'was too damn HOT!

[magneticgoop]

if you have ever gone to a third world country you really appreciate America more than you can ever imagine now we may not be the best but we sure are a lot better than most

[beezer]

I didn't say you couldn't have an opinion.
I said there shouldn't be a "Greatest County" title, since there isn't one.
Fircoal agrees with me here. Now stop over-reacting, enjoy your life and learn to read properly.

...and calling someone a "fool" isn't over-reacting. Then you go on with another insult? So glad I'm not British. Nice little double standard you have there. Here's a little present for you:



Don't make any apologies to these Brits. We overthrew their pompous butts years ago.

Texas is barely anything, no offense to Texas but there is so much more this country has to offer which is why i agree with luns.

Jesus fucking christ, not another American who thinks hes better than everyone else. If it wasnt for Britain, your country wouldnt even fucking exist, you should be thankful.

You do realise the bald eagle - your country's symbol - is almost extinct. Another victim of Global Warming I afraid. Tut tut.

The Pledge of Allegiance
I Pledge Allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands,
one Nation under God,
indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Oh, say, can you see, by the dawn's early light,
What so proudly we hailed at the twilight's last gleaming?
Whose broad stripes and bright stars, thro' the perilous fight'
O'er the ramparts we watched, were so gallantly streaming.
And the rockets red glare, the bombs bursting in air,
Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there.
Oh, say, does that star-spangled banner yet wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave?


On the shore dimly seen, thro' the mists of the deep,
Where the foe's haughty host in dread silence reposes,
What is that which the breeze, o'er the towering steep,
As it fitfully blows, half conceals, half discloses?
Now it catches the gleam of the morning's first beam,
In full glory reflected, now shines on the stream;
'Tis the star-spangled banner: oh, long may it wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.


And where is that band who so vauntingly swore
That the havoc of war and the battle's confusion
A home and a country should leave us no more?
Their blood has wash'd out their foul footstep's pollution.
No refuge could save the hireling and slave
From the terror of flight or the gloom of the grave,
And the star-spangled banner in triumph doth wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.


Oh, thus be it ever when free men shall stand,
Between their loved homes and the war's desolation;
Blest with vict'ry and peace, may the heav'n-rescued land
Praise the Power that has made and preserved us as a nation.
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: "In God is our trust";
And the star-spangled banner in triumph shall wave
O'er the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Happy Birthday USA! Proud to be living in the best country ever!

And guess who produces the much.

If you guessed AMerica, YOU ARE CORRECT!

[beezer]

More English socialist propoganda. You Brits really like to judge people. We don't care...we won - you lost!

As for your ignorant statement on the American Bald Eagle:

In 1967, there were fewer than 500 breeding pairs of bald eagles in the lower 48 states. The national bird was in danger of disappearing from much of the United States.

Though the eagles were never in danger of extinction—the vast majority, over 100,000, were in Alaska and Canada—Americans understandably wanted to protect a national symbol.

Today, the bald eagle is doing well. On June 29 the bald eagle in the lower 48 states will be officially removed, or delisted, from the Endangered Species Act (ESA). Yet delisting the bald eagle from the ESA has been a decade-long process that shows how even the most well-intentioned policy can be overcome by politics and ulterior motives.

The bald eagle should have been delisted in the early-to-mid 1990s, when it surpassed the original goal of around 3,000 pairs in the lower 48 states. Since then, the population has continued to grow at the very healthy rate of about 8 percent annually, reaching at least 9,921 pairs in the contiguous U.S. this year. Still, the Fish and Wildlife Service has been unwilling to part with its best public relations tool, likely because it's also a powerful means to control land use.

WRONG!!!
China now produces more CO2 than America, but that isn't because America's making less, China actually making more.

[firth4eva]

once again i say
i have no problem with america and no doubt most americans.
it's a minority i have a problem with.
people like dustn and beezer who ,whilst trying to give america a good name, give it a bad name.

[Iz Man]

Its easy to figure out why the eurotrash et all hate the U.S.

Its because in just over 200 years, America has become the most prosperous & powerful nation on earth. The Euros had an additional 1000+ years to accomplish what America has and failed.
Why? Because America is beholden to its people. Not a queen, not a king, not a dictator. Its people.
This is why Americans were first to invent:
the cotton gin
coffee pot
profile lathe (did the work of 13 men)
reaping machine
sewing machine
threshing machine
the revolver
Ether Anesthesia
Oil well
repeating rifle
roller skates
barbed wire
telephone
light bulb
electric fan
skyscraper
hearing aid
mimeograph
escalator
motion picture camera
air conditioner
airplane
assembly line production
radio astronomy
modern television
chair lift
nylon
Defibrillator
microwave oven
atomic bomb
carbon dating
polaroid camera
heart-lung machine
nuclear submarine
polio vaccine
integrated circuit
oral contraceptive
laser
operating system (IBM)
Apollo 11 - first on the moon
barcode
space shuttle
artificial heart
Hubble Telescope

and (go figure)............. the internet

Good thing our founders got together on July 4th, 1776.
If they didn't, Europe would still be reading by candlelight, traveling by horse, have a life expectancy of 38, and would be playing risk on a board game instead of this wonderful internet site.
God Bless America

[hendy]

Canada is better

[DeCaptain]

fyi everyone who said we kicked britain ass in the revolutionary war probably dont know that it was because they were also fighting a war in europe and couldnt give the war in america their full attention or all their whole army. anyways happy 4th and enjoy the fireworks!

[Minister Masket]

Iz Man is so naive. He thinks that if America didn't invent those things, no-one could have possibly invented them either.
I notice "atomic bomb" is on the list. Quite frankly that should never have been invented.

I'm naive?
Don't worry, when you grow up and get big, you'll get it.

Oh, and the atomic bomb won the war, by the way.
It also paved the way for nuclear power.

Who exactly is the naive one again?

Hypocrite. I notice you didn't bother to re-argue with me on the 1st point.
As for the atomic bomb, you could have quite easily won the war without it. Guess what else it led to...the frikken COLD WAR
If you have such a dogmatic attitude, I suggest you stay out of adult conversations. I repeat, you are naive.
