The one thing I hate about you yanks Is some of you can be the most ingnorant and stupid people at times. Not really on the flood just around the interwebzzzz.
It's because of our high population. You're more likely to run into an American-loving douche on the internet simply because, by proportion, there's more of them.

I'm not. I just think there are many things they could improve upon. So hearing some of the more ignorant citizens going on about how they are the greatest country is more amusing than anything else.

Granted I also think there are many things that we could improve upon in Canada as well.

Because America is though, You're just playing second fiddle. Before when people would say stuff I would just sort of humble myself and agree that America wasn't the best, but now I just don't give a -blam!- anymore. The truth is America is the best and probably the only one that even comes close to second would be Great Britain.

+Military strength
+Democratic Republic
+Capitalism(face it, it works)
+Huge Country
+Vaste Resources some not yet recovered(oil in Alaska)
+More freedoms than most countries

This post is messed up. I can guarantee you the United States is not the best country in the world. In terms of military strength? Yes. But not the important factors such as quality of life, ie. education, health, crime.

How does any of those, silly, points you've mentioned make it 'the best' country on this planet? And you can forget the last one, unless you add in 'third world' at the end.

OT: The only thing I hate about America is a certain group of people who think they're the best and better than the rest of the world for some idiotic reasons.

Actually when it comes to most western countries your level of freedom is actually about average. There is not equality under the law for all citizens at this time. Which is something to work on.
You aren't the only Capitalist country. The ones that use a mix of Capitalism and Socialism seem to be doing much better than you lately as well. Pure Capitalism and Pure Socialism don't work. A mix is best and finding the right mix can be very tricky.
Russia and Canada are bigger.
Canada has vast resources as well. We are the largest supplier of oil, trees, nuclear material and several other things to the U.S..
I'll give you Military Strength, but when you spend more than the next 20-something countries combined, almost all of which are allies, then it seems a little redundant to me.
There are other countries that have much better education, longer lifespans, more healthy years during that lifespan, better quality of life, less crime, better employment numbers, etc.

That's when you start to realize there are things that need to be worked on. America is number one in military spending. That's really about it. As I also said, I think there are many things that need to be improved upon in Canada, where I live, as well.

Yeah there are more of you but when I used to play on xbox live with my mates. We could join a game with americans and the minute we start talking they just start being -blam!-heads. "PuuUT A sHRIMP oN THaaa Barbieeeee" they yell in a british accent we get much worse than that though. We call them prawns here anyway. That happens so much it's not funny, now we could join a game with english and new zealand guys and we hardly badmouth each other and we all get along so to speak, Though sometimee you get dicks from them to. But i've noticed it's mostly americans that just start badmouthing us for no reason.

I agree with this post, so many things right here, and this is coming from a die-hard American. Hell, the joke with my Canadian friends is that when I was a baby, the doctors put an American flag and a copy of our Constitution in a blender, blended it and then fed it to me. But Im not saying America is without its faults. Far from it, but we do have a good thing going for us and aside from a couple of things I would change, I would leave most of the country alone.

It requires very little critical thought to realize that those people are in the minority. Your posts seem to suggest Americans are just somehow naturally inferior.

No it's just that after hearing and seeing so many of that type of -blam!-, it gets very annoying. And you didn't say where in my previous post I jugded your entire nation.

Nah mate, I think it was used as I holiday ad for you guys so instead if saying prawns they made him say shrimp for the ad which is smart because it was an ad for americans. But we just call em prawns here.

I understand, man. It does get annoying to listen to even as an American. It's embarrassing. It does go both ways, though, seeing how all Americans are constantly being put into this "you are all stupid" category. It just seemed heavily implied when you said, "You yanks."

Many of those facts can be attributed to the fact that the US has a very large population.

Because America does whatever is wants and gets away with it.

Your point? The fact that we have the power to do so is a testament to our greatness. I really don't see liberals and complainers contributing. Usually they're teenagers who protest but don't even take the time to go to college and get a degree in engineering or medicine and invent something. These last two generations have been the most useless in American history.
Yeah! I mean these idiots are contributing the most to CO2 emissions. Which are thinning our Ozone layer and causing the glaciers to melt, the ocean temperatures to rise, the sea levels rising, the flooding and an a large amount of other natural disasters that may cripple us before we get the chance to bomb every other country with our killer drones while we torture people without a trial, despite being unconstitutional and saying -blam!- you to pretty much all the founding fathers, and letting people die because they can't afford the medical procedures they need to survive. I mean for -blam!-s sake! We want to torture, bomb, destroy, and kill ourselves but these idiots just don't want us to do that... oh wait.

It's a great place to visit, so I've heard. I live here so I wouldn't know anything about visiting, haha. Contrary to popular global belief apparently Americans are really nice people.

Again, I haven't been around enough of the world to know whether we're nice or not, haha.

Still, if you do come then I hope you enjoy your stay. If you pass through Colorado just think of that one guy on the forums. We'll start a passionate and loving bromance or something.

Americans have a perpetual perception of America "going downhill". And that phenomena isn't exclusive to the Americans in all fairness. It's more pronounced though.
