Best place in the world. Largest Army, best economy, 3rd most land mass, most diverse. We have Mountans, rivers, streams, city, towns, beaches, mexican people, canadien people, german people, Irish people, australien people, british people, etc. We've invented electricity, light bulbs, airplanes, automobiles, south park, the simpsons, family guy, the list goes on
And for the record, we may have had slaves, but Britian had zoos with africans in it.

The only two wars that the United States could never claim a victory for would be the Korean War, since it ended in a cease-fire and stalemate; and the Vietnam War, because we were gradually pushed back and finally withdrew from the country at Saigon, the largest city in non-Communist southern Vietnam at that time (1975).

A shortened form of The United States of America. This country is located below Canada in North America and is governed by two dominant political parties. Unfortunately for Americans, one of these parties -- known as the Republican party -- is composed of paranoid schizophrenic religious nutjobs who seem committed to living in the past instead of planning for the future. Because both parties are roughly equally balanced in power, little progress is made in America's political system, as the Republican party attempts to destroy the country while everyone else attempts to save it. Overall, the United States of America is a horrible place to live, especially if you have a vagina.
Person 1: "Damn! The republicans are at it again!"
Person 2: "What is it now?"
Person 1: "They're trying to slash funding for the Clean Water Act, Clean Air Act, Planned Parenthood program, and all of our other public service programs!"
Person 2: "Fuck, man! They're trying to destroy the United States! It's time to move to Canada."
Person 1: "Fuck yeah!"

The epitome of superpower in the twentieth century, and early in the twenty first. However, this economic growth was shattered by war-hungry conservatives who's eyes lit up as they realized the immense opportunity they had at riches in the Middle-Eastern Oil industry. So, as a result of this greed they staged an terrorist attack on September 11, 2001, the purpose behind this was to rally support behind the war effort so they could reap the benefits of the vast oil in the middle east. However, the "crusade" on terror, and oil was halted in its tracks with surprisingly tough resistance from the Taliban. Ex-President Bush was concerned, but arrogant so his administration persisted in it's "crusade". As time went on citizens became more impatient about the capture of Bin Laden, but the U.S. Billion dollar intelligence couldn't find a trace. This of course was just a cover-up of the real means behind the war, which was oil, but that too went up in flames when the U.S. announced the invasion of Iraq, country's began to withdraw support from the U.S. cause, and Saddam's scorched earth policy left no oil behind for the conservatives to use. Pride and fear of being found out kept the conservative administration persisting in the war, however they soon realized that the financial motivation behind the war turned on them, and that they had put us in debt over our heads. Without oil to repay the war debt, we just continued to spiral out of control. Now, years later, we have a Liberal Administration in office, but they are left with shambles of what this country used to be. The Conservative leeches nearly sucked this country dry of everything our forefathers worked and died to protect. With the economy in ruins, unemployment at a decade high, and the housing market in chaos, the future of the United States of America as a world power looks bleak at best and impossible at worst. In the future when one looks back at the history of this nation they will realize that corruption, and greed triggered it's demise. "Power tends to corrupt and absolute power corrupts absolutely."
Ex-President Bush is scum, and we the people of the United States need to be informed of this coward, and menace that we let ruin our country.

The greatest nation in the entire planet. Just because we have not passed laws and amendments promoting and legalizing every single thing, it doesn't mean our government is a fascist dictatorship. So we don't allow gay marriage and dangerous drugs like ecstacy or cocaine. Big deal.
This massive country consisting of 50 states and over 280 million people is divided into several regions, and every single race and ethnic group resides within the United States of America. Every kind of religion and language is found in different parts of this fine country.
The regions include New England and the Mid-Atlantic States in the Northeast; The Deep South, Upper South (Tennessee/southernmost third of Kentucky), and the Lower Mississippi Valley in The South; The Ohio River Valley, Great Lakes States, the Upper Mississippi Valley, and the Northern Plains in The Midwest; The Rio Grande Valley, the Southern Plains, the Rocky Mountains, The Sonoran and Mojave Deserts, Lake Mead, and Los Angeles and San Diego metropolitan areas in southern California, all part of the Southwest; The Rocky Mountains sprawl over roughly six consecutive states, and extends well up into Canada. Finally, the Cascade Mountain Range, Mt. Rainier, Mt. St. Helen's, and the Snake and Wilamette River Valleys make up the Pacific Northwest. The states of Alaska and Hawaii are located very far off the mainland of America. Alaska is adjacent to the western border of Canada and near the Arctic Ocean, while Hawaii is composed of a series of islands surrounded by the waters of the Pacific Ocean.

The United States is a country home to 150 million of the friendliest, most caring, decent people in the world. However, There are also a similar amount of racist, fundamental christian retards who seem to make unilateral decisions for the rest of the world.
The United States government currently appears to be the most corrupt entity on the planet earth, sending thier brave and heroic soldiers to fight wars with the sole purpose of furthering individual ends. Your fanatical presidnet Mr G.W Bush, lacks the ability to engage in a initellignet conversation, nevermind oversee the actions of the worlds most powerful military arsenal.
Their are severe ethnic divisions in the United States, despite the claim that the U.S. is the leader of the "free" world. Plus, anybody now wishing to travel to the U.S. will have all their personal details checked and stored at the whim of the CIA. This reflects the United States over-inflated self image, the U.S is not the centre of the universe.
This fact is reflected in history quite clearly. The United States government will engage in war in Iraq & Afghanistan, but will let the people of Darfur & Burma suffer extreme human rights abuses (not enough oil there you see). How many Americans know that during world war 2, there was only 1 country at war with Nazi Germany from the begining of the war? While Britain was bombed daily by the Germans, the American government refused to get invloved militarily. It was only when American intrests were attacked (Pearl Harbour) that the U.S government acted. Brtian was the only country to fight from day 1 - but you wont see that reflected anywhere in Hollywood. It seems that the U.S. government selfishly picks its battles...
Anyway, the point is that the average decent American citizen gets treated like crap no matter where they go in the world. After visiting Mexico for example, the locals assumed that I must be American, and treated me with caution. Once they discovered I was British, it was a different story.
America has great people, a fantastic environment, patriotism that I admire, many opportunities, but ultimatly a government that stinks. Also whatever your government does, the British government does blindly. So next time your voting in our Prime minister, pick one with a backbane please!!
