You want a secure and peaceful country, go to Costa Rica, people will treat you like a king evertwhere that you go, beatiful women, jamaican province, green and ecological...

You want a fun place to be, real people everywhere, excellent job oportunities and a great lifestyle (being young over here is

) come to México...

And I'm just mentioning the places I've lived in...

So gringos are the only ones living in America?  SYAUF and enjoy your free Guadalajara health-care.

I've always wondered how people could take a place serious that called itself "the land of the free" when its first economy was based on slave labor.

Also the whole "all men are created equal" bit had to be a joke to other countries for a while.

Too bad for you.
Next time youll know better than to get in our way and ask us stupid questions.
Get a map.


From NY btw.
  

- a map won't tell you where the nearest pizza place is
- a map won't tell you where to buy certain items

i know you're gonna have a smartass answer, like "why didn't you do research" or something dumb

Or maybe it's just in your head.  Americans aren't sitting around thinking how much better we are than the rest the world.  Sorry to burst your bubbles, but, we have our own day to day lives to worry about.  This thread is full of stereotypes; but, if you guys need a chance to sound off on your jealousy- have at it and all let you be.

Lots of hate/pride in this thread

I can honestly say I've been to my native country and life is much easier in the states. I don't think we're the best country in the world (

) but I can appreciate the life I have here

  We call this country North America?

United States of North America, North America has 3 countries and America has 32 spanish speaking countries (with and actual name), so whats your point?

the man has a point... not like china is called central asia or the united states of asia or something along those lines.
but it is united states of america... not north america. north is implied though, i'm assuming that's why you're putting it there.

What the #%!% is the United States of NORTH America?

. And in Chinese China translates basically to Middle Kingdom, so yes it basically is called central asia or united states of asia.

I'm American and I hate most Americans, but then I hate most everyone else as well.

The US is a Continental Republic with over 300 million citizens, we are ethnically diverse, we are politically given to pluralism, Americans choose to worship (nor not worship at all) in a wide variety of ways and despite your stereotypes there are Americans who are neither obese nor boorish nor uninformed about world events.

Rex hit this one on the head for me. As a Californian (of Asian-North American decent, considering everyone's P.C. for this thread). I barely got the chance to travel when I was younger. Stopped over a few parts of Asia but didn't really travel as much. But I do want to see the world. I am aware of the starving (but resilient) nations of Africa, the constant protests and GDP struggles of the European nations, and of course the blasphemy of a lot of Asian countries. With their senseless beefing against other Asians, right here at home. Sure there's a lot screwed up. I'm also not happy with a lot that's going on with regards to political, economical and and environmental issues. However you cannot clump everyone U.S. citizen as an ignorant buffoon. Despite everything, this is definitely a wonderful country to live in and I don't take it for granted one bit. So, if I can understand and acknowledge these flaws within our country's borders (and the same for those internationally), then I'm sure many people like Rex and other U.S. NT'ers do feel the same way.

At the end of the day when all your countries have drama, political, economic, natural disaster, or whatever, who do you call? That's right, America. You take our money and any other support we give you, with pretty much no strings attached, you call us bullies. The hypocrisy and hate is strong. It's cool though. We don't do it for props.
