America is a continent situated between the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. It has three parts: North America, Center America and South America. Even though everyone who was born in this continent should be called "American" this name is used only for people who was born in the United States "of" America which is only one country in this huge continent. And let's not forget the real inhabitants of this continent, the aborigins who were killed and damaged were the real americans too. However, in the spanish language the word "Americano" (translation for american) means anyone who was born in the continent called America, though some people can use this word to name the north american people, that's just a show of how powerful imperialist countries can impose whatever they want to anyone behind them. More specific words would be: North American, Center American and South American.
America was discovered by Cristobal Colón* on October 12th 1492**
*let's not change his name cause he was from Spain, it is also said that he was Italian(from Genova, which is probably true) and his name would be Cristobolo Colombo. Anyway, his name certainly wasn't "Christopher", lol, just gimme a break.
**This can be read in most text books, but the truth is that America had a population before the conquerors arrived, so that would be the date when the killing and robbing would gain a new name(then we could change "discovered" for "invaded" which sounds more accurate). Some folks like to call that the start of civilization in a savage continent, honestly that's bullshit.

Please, everyone stop your unjustified hatred for the United States of America and its people for a second, and allow me to explain the fundamental differences between George Bush and the American people. America has its share of hicks, intolerant white preachers, and douschie wasteful teenagers, but it also is home to great thinkers, scientists, and good people. People who are normal and kind are not shown by the media, because they're boring. The reason that America has been blemished so is because ironically, although you yell at us for not having proper media, you all succumb to the same ploy that many Americans do. You see the cult leaders and the White supremacists, and you say, "Damn, America sucks." You yell at as, and you curse us incessantly, but you all are forgetting your own countries' histories. England--were you not a imperialistic and brutal nation as well? And did you also do much worse things than being fat or ignorant? Yes, you did. You butchered Irish, fought the French in a long war that caused the suffering of many people in unneccessary wars, and you imposed your will on many smaller nations. France--Napoleon ravaged Europe, you held a brutal revolution that caused endless suffering in your nation, and to be honest, a lot of you are pompous brats. Germany--HEIL HITLER Belgium--remember the Congo? Spain--Crusades, holy inquisitions, AZTECS, etcetera. I could tarnish every single nation, but the fact of the matter is, America is not perfect. Yes, we have our faults, and yes, we have done many stupid things. But every nation is not perfect, and we have done many things that are indefinitely good for the world, whether you all like it or not. I am not saying that America is better, but I am saying that it is equal. Don't take everything at face value, and next time you see an American, don't spit on him/her, because remember, whatever blame you place on America is applicable to your native country as well.

1. a continent east of Asia and west of Europe.
2. The informal term for the United States of America.
3. a "country" that has the highest obesity rate in the world
4. a country with really crappy news stations and news reports, aside from the New York Times, leading to the majority of the population being ignorant of most world affairs and world culture.
5. known for its vast majority of religious bigots, though very few people in the US go to church and many people are more open minded than those seen on TV.
6. known for its terrible presidents in the last couple of years, George Bush. who, using unfair legal assistance in both elections in the past 8 years, remained in office for very long.
7. A country that was permanently scarred by the 9/11 attack on its world trade center, leaving many U.S citizens biased against muslims and immigrants, legal or no.

IN AMERICA
IN AMERICA

A country unlike any other in history. The U.S. is by far the most diverse and innovative nation on earth. Dominator of both Noble Prizes and Olympic Medals.
America was:
The first in flight.
The first to harnass nuclear energy.
The first and ONLY to put humans on the moon (If it wasn't for this little agency in Texas called NASA, the entire planet would be miles back in terms of scientific progress).
America has brought the world revolutionary inventions such as:
The Microchip.
The Internet you are now using.
The Lightbulb.
The Telephone.
The Automobile (as we now know it).
Television, Film, AND Radio.
Rock and Roll, Blues, Jazz, Country, Hip Hop and any other genre of music worth listening to.
The Simpsons...need I say more?
America's role in WWII and it's stance against the Soviet Empire has undisputably brought freedom to millions.
Successful American companies such as Coca-Cola and McDonald's, despite being complained about, have spread throughout the world offering people products at an affordable price. They wouldn't be in every corner of the world if there wasn't demand for them...it's called economics. (Note: "Coca-Cola" is the 2nd most recognized word in the world, behind "O.K.").
Basically, America has packed more culture and history into 200+ years, than most nations have fit into thousands. You might not like America's leaders...most non-Americans won't like proactive, take-charge American presidents. The world would prefer a less active, timid U.S. president who gives the EU and other nations a greater role in world affairs. But that's just not how it works. Democrat or Republican, any president of the world's only superpower will seek to maintain America's leadership role in the world, whether it's popular with the rest of the world or not. In the real world of geopolitics other countries would do the same given the opportunity...just thank your lucky stars it's the U.S. and not Russia, China, Iran, etc. During world crises, the world looks to the U.S. for leadership.
Also, let's not forget that the current U.S. president went to the U.N. before the war against Iraq and received a unanimous vote to take action against Saddam's regime. At the time half of NATO was on board, as well as the majority of the American public and both aisles of congress....in addition to a plurality of the British public and EU goverments. So, to keep calling it "Bush's war" is just factually wrong.
Some of America's greatest problems include illegal immigration and a failure to sell it's decent, principled polices abroad.
America is the most emmigrated to country in the world.
Note: I don't think Americans are better than everyone else, but this irrational American bashing cannot be given a pass.
