Touche! Very well said Heather,it was an attempt to put a spanner in the works,maybe I will try to turn it into another thread. Is putting a spanner etc considered as trolling? Is it not possible to argue against threads that are deemed positive?

HeatherMcLeather -> RE: Things I Love About America (7/5/2011 4:38:37 PM)
Yes, of course it is trolling. However, your original post was well executed. You listed the things you "loved" about the US. Sarcasm is an effective tool of trolling. that is why I did not suggest further training for you, you are showing promise.

Well despite the fact that you suggest that I am talented but clearly out of my league I will continue to try and educate myself on these high quality boards,after all there is only one way to beat the best and that is to compete against them

Particularly if that nation is doing many evil things and the people of that nation are allowing it to happen.

Read back and you will see. It is wrong to look at the positives whilst wearing excuses to the negatives.

Well, I had thought about this for a couple of days and came back to post my list, but since it has all gone to hell, never mind.

Icarys -> RE: Things I Love About America (7/5/2011 5:01:52 PM)
I love too many things about this great land to list but above all is the Constitution and Bill of Rights and potential opportunities that those documents provide chance of having. I watched the HBO documentary last night from Alexandra Pelosi..despite some parts (I thought) that seemed "staged" or tilted for specific messages in the edits, I thoroughly enjoyed it. It was refreshing to hear the views of immigrants becoming US citizens officially and the joys and hopes they have for their futures. It made my heart swell. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C4kJA5c-acw&feature=relmfu I'm proud to be an American regardless of it's troubles.

Of course you are proud to be American,but you wouldn't have all those immigrants if corperate america wasn't raping those countries and leaving them without any hope

As a Canadian all I will add is: Grits Amtrak customer service Diverse geography and geology The noticeable differences in the people from state to state. Hollywood Walt Disney Most important is despite what foibles America has, it is a diverse and unique country in itself. I would rather live next to a friendly nation like America than live in a country near another which is in a constant state of turmoil and war within it's own borders.

I'll second the grits! Love me some buttered [not cheesy] grits. And gumbo! France may have taught me roux, but N'Awlins taught me what to do with it! My first veteran sub [le sigh!]! New Yorker magazine! The National Geographic Society! F. Scott Fitzgerald! Lahaina, Hawai'i! Mythbusters! Thomas Jefferson! Ambroise Pierce! Edited to add: And of course, CM!
