Answer 3

I am from the USA, born in New York, grew up in Florida.  Give me a chance here..................

As Leonard Cohen states it, "The USA is the cradle of the best and the worst."

The BEST:  

1) USA has all kinds of climates and landscapes.

-Breathtaking Mountains  - Colorado and Vermont and North Carolina.

-Tropical Paradise - Miami Beach, Disney World and Honolulu, Hawaii

-Cultural Centers - New York, Boston, Newport, Washington, DC

-Jazz and oldtime Blues - Chicago, New Orleans, Nashville

Theatre and Film - Los Angeles (Hollywood)

-Most Environmentally friendly city - Portland, Oregon.

-Desert topography - Nevada and Arizona

-Mediterranean climate year-round - California coast

Untouched nature - Alaska

Cabins on lakes  - Minnesota

The American people vary incredibly in viewpoints and the most intellectual Americans who go to schools like Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Berkeley, Stanford, and have intelligence levels at par with Europeans.

Some Americans join peace organizations and help the homeless in the world's poorest countries out of pure goodness of the heart.  MANY Americans oppose EVERY War the US has engaged in since World War Two.  MANY.

America has its good as well.

2) The BAD

-US politics, the masses as a whole are very misinformed, public transportation is lousy in most cities and getting around without a car, many people can't afford medical insurance, crime levels, poor eating habits and food choices, cocky attitudes, military mindset, arrogance.  But these don't apply to ALL Americans by ANY means!

Answer 4

Answer 5

Well, I am actually an American living in Romania. I have been living here for almost 10 years. As much as I love my country I do have to say there are more nut jobs than your average 'normal person' But, then again....I have also met very interesting people here in Romania. If you were to ask me about America and Americans I would tell you what I tell everyone else.....Americans are just people...and people have their own issues no matter where you go....What matters is the values those people have and carry out.  

Answer 6

Other than AmeriKans are arrogant know-it-alls there are pretty nice people.

I am an AmeriKan who has lived outside the country for most of the past 30 years and any time I have to go back to AmeriKa for something, I hate it and count the days and hours before I can get out of there.

The only people who think AmeriKa is great are the 95 percent of AmeriKans who have never been outside the country, so they don't KNOW ANY BETTER.  They are totally incapable of understand how the rest of the world sees and thinks of them... and their usual childish answer is "Duh... well if you don't LIKE AmeriKa then you can LEAVE IT".. as if that changes the world's attitude about them
