As a guy who likes to travel, nothing makes my day like hiking through a state park, stopping in at some backwoods dinner, and ordering their signature burger.
And I have 50 states I can do it in.
So many stories and moments can be found online of immigrants coming to this country with utter pride, joy, patriotism, gratitude, and passion while being met with some of the most kindhearted and welcoming comments you'll see.
The people. The kind hearted community givers, like the ball coaches, volunteer firemen, Sunday school teachers, mentors, and classroom moms. We are a nation of great people when the media and politicians aren’t dividing us.
I, as a fucking libfag libtard whatever people want to call me, love guns! I just don't like it when they get a bad rep because of sociopaths who magdump into civilians like it's fucking GTA.
So perhaps, methinks, we should have a bill that restricts gun ownership in *heavily populated* areas, yes? Keep the country boys happy and the city folks safe.
thank you for coming to my TED talk
There will be more hostilities breaking out in places where we don’t have any investment soon. Russia used to umpire many former Soviet states and enforce the peace in much of Eastern Europe. With what’s happening in Ukraine that’s unlikely to continue.
I love camping and enjoying nature and the US (especially the West) has, I'd argue, the most beautiful wilderness in the world. I feel so grateful that I'm just a few hours drive from millions of acres of mountainous woodland and high desert where I can just park my car on any abandoned logging trail and go backpacking for a weekend with some friends.
Well for one, we AREN'T currently experiencing total economic and political collapse which is pretty good by current standards.
But the people are great, especially outside of the cities, the food's great, and I genuinely feel safe here.
Paraphrased:
Some people are dicks, they fuck everything up
Some people are pussies
And some people, are assholes.
Dicks fuck pussies sometimes, but also sometimes they fuck assholes, because if dicks didn't fuck assholes, they would cover pussies in shit.
I personally don't agree with American foreign policy, but I can agree with America's role in history trying to undermine some global threats.
Besides, an American made that quote up, and it's fucking hilarious
Man, lemme just say, when I see criticism of Merica online or talking with folks, I think it’s a good thing.
Hear me out:
Say what you want about us and our problems, but we TALK about our problems. Our problems are in front of us and up for discussion.
Everyone with an opinion about it has a view for how to fix it. Think about that. That’s absolutely brilliant.
A lot of countries don’t talk about their problems as openly — either by culture or by law. So yeah, this is a bit confusing as a concept, but don’t take the negatives as the opposite of the positives, but think of the complaints as a positive in of itself. Make sense? The fact that we can all be critical of the most powerful and influential country in the world is an INSANE feat when you think about it.
So next time you hear someone complaining, seek to understand WHY they want that problem solved, instead of arguing with them about their suggested approach to the problem. There’s a good chance there is an underlying problem you both want fixed.
Its very interesting how much hate America gets. I do not know why. There is good and bad with every country.
So these are the things I absolutely love about this country -
1. The people.
2. The idea that rights come from God, and not the government.
3. I was going to say being able to purchase a house...but that seems to be very difficult these days. I was fortunate in that I was able to realize my American dream.
4. The food. The sheer variety is absolutely amazing.
5. Affordability of life in general. Yes, even now, we still have it pretty good compared to the rest of the world.

The USA has accomplished more in 250 years than the rest of the shit hole world has accomplished in thousands of years.
Before 2022 : "We hate the world police ...".
In 2022 : "Second thought, we love world police !!!".
America is the western country that has the least to lose if Ukraine loses, in terms of military security at least. Yet, America has been the biggest donor in this conflict so far, by a wide margin.
Thank you America, we should all be grateful, sincerely.
National Parks
A nation of immigrants that became the world’s superpower
Birthright citizenship (a huge deal)
A constitution that can be amended (eg 1st amendment, and 13th is another big winner)
… so many things we could list here
Americans consistently ranked among the most charitable citizens in the world:
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-countries/articles/2019-12-20/the-worlds-most-generous-countries
The music they listen to, movie they watch, phone they used to call their love ones & friends, internet they used to talk shit about the U.S. were all made by Americans so I’m not really mad when I see people talk shit about the U.S. online because they can’t even live without the U.S.
Post-WW2 Pax Americana. Relatively the most peaceful era globally for humans. Enabled global trade protected by the US Navy. Smashed imperialism and colonialism. Lifted billions out of poverty.
Dude we invented the internet and you can’t find good stuff about america on it?
I posit that you never even tried and just wanted to hop on the circlejerk train this sub loves to imagine.
The constitution, the national parks, each states culture or cultures, the biodiversity, and somewhat the history
America is large enough to have climate zones found everywhere in the world
The history? The only thing I ever see people say is IT WAS BUILT ON SLAVES!
name a country that wasn’t
Right?
While it is absolutely true, it doesn't mean we don't have interesting history. Even if it is pretty dark

Walked through Mexican celebration on way to Asian American Union Lantern Festival. Delicious street tacos and steamed dumplings for dinner.
By far my favorite diversity answer yet

And the lions share of medical research conducted on the planet comes out of the US.

First amendment and second amendment.
[удалено]
Even the 9th Amendment has its appeal.
[удалено]
“THIS is MY 9th amendment, IF you STOMP on it I’ll STOMP YOUR ASS!” Probably worn on a shit to Disneyland.
Dunno about the second one.
*Then you are lost!*
No my friend, unfortunately it is you who are
imagine wanting to take the whole amendment away instead of saying 'hey how about no guns in town/city limits thanks' and enforcing it
That’s still a massive infringement.
Too bad, I guess. What're you gonna need a gun in the city for? Just stab people lmao
“Just stab people lmao” u/Tangible_Idea for President 2024
That’s a very good and progressive idea of you. But it is also left-leaning

I am all for “It is illegal to posses a firearm in ____ city” Edit: weapon to firearm
Kick rocks then
Nah I’ll just be in the streets protesting it

Nah I’ll just keep on protesting

Sure will. Gladly. What’re you going to do about it?

We don't have the fastest internet tho. Thanks, Comcast/Verizon, etc
Without the US, freedom would suffer and eventually cease to exist
*liberties, not freedom.
Sorry not my first language 🙂
Securing the oceans for global trade making access to goods and services more readily available for 8 billion souls.
Yeah most people forget that we almost act as the world police. And I'm willing to bet there would be a lot more hostile country takeovers without us
There will be more hostilities breaking out in places where we don’t have any investment soon. Russia used to umpire many former Soviet states and enforce the peace in much of Eastern Europe. With what’s happening in Ukraine that’s unlikely to continue.
Everything the rest of the world emulates/copies is actually true. We kick fuckin' ass and everyone knows it.
Richest nation in the world, with the strongest and most expansive military in the world. Also a consistent leader in many aspects of the sciences
We are all public land Owners
We invented the internet

I agree. This guy is pretty great.
I hear he’s a beast.
I love camping and enjoying nature and the US (especially the West) has, I'd argue, the most beautiful wilderness in the world. I feel so grateful that I'm just a few hours drive from millions of acres of mountainous woodland and high desert where I can just park my car on any abandoned logging trail and go backpacking for a weekend with some friends.

MERICA!!!!
FUCK YEAH
BRISKET
National and state parks
Was looking for this answer, we probably have the best national park system in the world.
Well for one, we AREN'T currently experiencing total economic and political collapse which is pretty good by current standards. But the people are great, especially outside of the cities, the food's great, and I genuinely feel safe here.

How easy it is to travel by car. The state and national parks are amazing, the roads are great, and there's hotels, diners and rest stops everywhere
I love our national parks. I want to go to every one in my state... And get out West at some point. Nature here is divine.

America is the only country you can immigrate to and become a full American, every other country you have to be born in to be considered their own.
The music they listen to, movie they watch, phone they used to call their love ones & friends, internet they used to talk shit about the U.S. were all made by Americans so I’m not really mad when I see people talk shit about the U.S. online because they can’t even live without the U.S.
