And yeah, I wipe my ass on my cats tail. We don't get that fancy gadget called "Toilet Paper".

I thought Monte Carlo was a big gambling place. Could be wrong.

Not really. Why? Because the US has successfully exported everything we've built, sold, invented, or created. Our culture is familiar virtually worldwide.

Hell, other cultures even adopt negative aspects of our culture, it's so pervasive. 😀

Screw colonialism, we have marketing! 😀 😀

LOL!! Damn, that's so true it's sad 🙂

I believe Mexico, the U.K, and Germany have Wal-Marts. Not sure about other countries but there must be some.

Well.... I know we get shafted a lot, but there must be SOMETHING that's keeping us all here.

Market capitalism forces a stronger work ethic, and a competitiveness you dont find in more socialistic countries.

we have a will to work harder because we know we can benifit from it.


we've also been fairly lucky with the leaders we've had over the last 100 years. some made big mistakes, but as a whole, we survived. (i'm not very happy with the current result...

but brilliant military leaders, and the fact capitalism forces a stronger work ethic and thus a stronger economy, has kept us alive and stronger than any other nation on earth.

in all honesty, it's our production means that wins us wars. we can produce the most armarments fastest. we win.






oh, and one thing that's cool and pretty much exclusive to US.


Free Drink Refills at almost all resteraunts.
