You fools. The grand United Kingdom is the best place in the world. We may not have invented alot of useful stuff, but by God I challenge you to find funnier people on this planet. God save the Queen.
I take it you mean stuck up British snobs who think America is the worst place in the world, just because we got our asses kicked by men in straw hats?(Vietnam War).
You summed us up to a Tee.

Do i even need to give a reason as to why our country is so great? We drink more tea than the rest of the world in a single day. Put that in your pipe and smoke it...
Because how much tea a country drinks determines how great it is.

/sarcasm

Also, you modified my post, by removing the quotations where I said "just because we, in a lot of YOUR PEOPLE'S WORDS, 'got our asses kicked by men in straw hats?' (Vietnam War)."

Funny that was the best you could think of. Sounds like I got you in a bind.

Take it I got you in a bind there, didn't I?

For inventing the TV in color (Mexico) That is all I can think about right now though. Oh, and for giving political asylum to Spanish people, Armeninans, etc. and for having Chichen Itza.

But other than that, there isn't really something worthy of Mexico, I'm looking to abandon the country actually...

We are the last Super Power of WW1 and 2! Freedom of press, religion, speech and also guns! Cultural melting pot, BEST MUSIC IN THE WORLD! and lastly Cheeseburgers and Soda!
Freedom of press? Have you read the news lately?`The witch hunt of Julian Assange and WikiLeaks is basically the exact opposite of "freedom of press/speech".
We have limited Freedom of Press. If the gov feels something threatens our nation's security (or just makes the US Gov look foolishly stupid) the gov will over react immediately. Its like the Robot chicken sketch where the kid hacks into the the Gov's nuke supply and launches one at Canada, then the gov types freak ut and the one guy goes "We must overreact immediately!" and then they go on ot waterboarding the kid.

Besides, its also what saves people from other people yelling fire in a crowded room, or making death threats (for example, if I wanted to walk up to someone, sit them down, tell them I'm going to kill them and tell them how without any sense of it being a joke, in a perfect world of freedom of Speech, I could do that).

OT: Why is America great? I dont know... I dont think any country has really done anyhting that in the end wasnt a screw up or could have Negatives drawn from it (cept maybe Australia, though thats more for the fact they dont do anything without every other nation its allied with going to do it first. I'll just say cause we give the world our movies and medium,w hich say what you will, but American bands can kick some major ass and movies like Slum dog millionare and such are amazing.

Besides, we gave you disney and Pixar. So yeah, thats why. Oh, and the XBOX (Though I'm a sony fan so thats lost on me). And google. so there.

Well the UK is allrght... We colonised America, Australia, bits of India, bits of China (the list goes on).
We invented: TV, the Periodic table, the Steam engine the vacuum cleaner, viagra, WWW and toilet paper amongst others

nowadays however there isn't much point of bigging up the UK. I plan to leave as soon as a raise enough money to get to Australia or a job that would put me there (probably the first one)

Canada is awesome because we're more thoughtful than some countries *coughamericacough*, we have the best health care around, we are peacekeepers not war makers, and we have beavers and maple syrup.

Nothing. Australia is shit. We are the country of mediocrity, everything is moderate and unexciting, nothing major or eventful ever happens here. Our weather is shit, we have droughts and deserts everywhere. And our accent is fucking annoying, our culture is shit, we rarely have any good music come out of here, or good films, or anything good really. Also we're still dependant on that fucking monarchy, we have shitty politics, both major parties are right-wing conservatives, and our democracy is all government run, so there is little public feedback to the government. Oh yeah, and buying American products is ten times more expensive for some reason

Someone from Sweden get in here. Now

But we lost to starving third world countries like Vietnam and North Korea.
Makes us feel a little better.

OT: We got Duke Nukem. What up.

All things considered, for all our bitching and the way the rest of the world regards us, america is a pretty good place to live, our government is incredibly stable, our military maintains a policy to never let a war be fought on our soil, and our economy is stable and strong (all things considered). We are not perfect, but it is a pretty good place.

Also, because our navy fleet is larger than the combined navies of the entire rest of the world.
>never let a war be fought on our soil
>no war on american soil
>america invades other countries
>wtf

Ok, so fine. You don't let war be fought in your own country to protect your citizens. Fair enough. Never mind that you force wars to be fought on the soil of every foreign country that disagrees with you. But it's okay, because you protect your own

Ironically, it is not the major powers that we have lost to. Vietnam, for example, was lost due to the fact it WASN'T against a major political power.

If it wasn't for us, obesity would still be one of those obscure medical problems! Also, we made Star Wars.
