Then what accomplishments of yours have done anything to improve it? I get so tired of people bitching about their own country regardless of what country it is. If you don't like it so much, get involved, change something. If you cant do that, then leave.
OT: We're there only country so far to have people walk on the moon! And we have a rich history of people coming to our country and adding great things to it involving science, culture, art and so on.
Living in the US currently. I recently made my first trip to a completely different culture (Qatar, muslim dominant country) and I have to say that while there are many other places in the world, right now, I'm completely happy to live in america. So why is america so great? Because It's what I'm used to.
Cars were invented in Germany.zer0kevin said:America. Cars, Planes, the Internet, Videogames, Computers, Nukes, Jets, an Awesome Constitution everyone copies, lightbulbs, WW1 was one because of us. WW2 we helped a lot. Google, Facebook, iPhones, telephones, personal computers, etc.
Never lost a war to another major power.(Beat Britain, France, Canada, Mexico, Germany, Austria, Hungary, Russia, Italy, Iraq, All that was Austria Hungary and the Ottoman Empire, Spain, Japan, etc.)
The internet (as we know of it) was developed by a Brit. The US military did develop a network, but it was that Brit (whose name I forget) who created the world wide web.
The Manhattan Project was a group of multinational scientists from around the world.
The first jet engine patent was registered by a Frenchman. Many German designs for jet engines were taken from Germany after the Second World War.
Awesome constitution that everyone copies? You mean the countries America has forced (often through military means) to take up, or the people around the world who also happen to want the same things that happen to be in your constitution?
First World War? You did help. Your 'troops' soaked up alot of bullets that would otherwise have killed the soldiers who had some sort of experience. It wasnt won just because of American troops.
And as for the Second World War, Russia played a much larger part in the victory for the Allies. The German Armies loss at Stalingrad was the single most important turning point of the war. D-Day was important, in that is gave the Germans two fronts to fight, but the Russians took Berlin.
Alexander Graham Bell (the inventor of the modern telephone) was Scottish.
Just thought I'd point out a few flaws with your declaration of awesomeness.
OT: We had to largest Empire in the world at one point, and while that in itself is quite a negative thing, it did have some good. Countries that are in the Commonwealth have a democratic parliament, and tend to be better off financially than their neighbours.

The internet, we help people who suffer natural disaster with millions in aid even if that country does nothing than bad mouth us, we landed on the moon, actually just NASA in general
When did you beat Canada? When we burned the White House in 1812?zer0kevin said:America.

Seriously, we were beaten by the English negotiators after that war.
My country is safe, clean, spacious, and filled with wonderful and comedic people who just want to get along... for the most part anyway. Is that enough? We have Noble Peace Prize winners and inventors too!
I don't see any Vietnam...oh wait, America didn't win that one. Sorry. America beat Britain alongside the much larger French forces. Beat Germany alongside Russia, Britain and France (twice). Iraq alongside Britain, Australia and Poland (to name a few). I could go on, but I cannot be bothered anymore, trolololol...zer0kevin said:America.

I don't really know why you should visit. It might be nice summer time and during the winter the alpine stuff might be nice even thou there are better places in both Sweden and Norway. We have Santa here.
Many whom have visited say it's a great place so why not come but I can't tell you anything that's really really special.
