Let's name some things Americans are GOOD at:

[WildHorse]

world's best at producing corrupt corporate CEO's.

World leader in overpaying CEOs, over 100 times the worker bees' wages while the multiple is only 11 times in europe.

It's actually refreshing to see a pro-American (well, for the most part) thread.

 

[Vonkhan]

We're aren't that great at nation building

... but we do a heck of a job at nation destroying






I'm not American and while I do see a lot of things that Americans could do better, there is a LOT that Americans are really good at and props to southern hospitality

We always groan and mope about how everything made in US sucks: cars, electronics, clothes, etc...

But you know we have many thing we're great at that other nations cannot even closely come to mimic. I'll start:

1. CPU: That's right, isn't everything PC in the world made by chips by either Intel, AMD or at least American?

2. National Defense: Don't we always have the latest tech? Compare a typical marine suped up in US' latest gear vs any other nation's...

3. CG/Special Effects: I sure as hell know that we don't make the best movies. Hollywood has been churning out crap lately in the past decade or so, but I know we have the best movie making capabilities. Does that actually churn up good movies or not is a whole different idea though...

Feel free to contribute.

does it help that all of these wonderful products are actually made in other countries?

also, high tech military gear doesn't seem to be winning out against pipe bombs....

WETA is based in New Zealand; but yes, the majority of quality SFX comes from teh West Coast USA.

Problem is you are agreeing with peoples' behavior and assuming that is American. Essentially you are focusing purely on the poor decisions the minority make. Your "facts" are purely perception and NOT reality.

lol

do you seriously think the majority of Americans are not indebted, save, and that the dollar is not declining in value? I would love to live in this sheltered fantasy world of yours.
It fascinates me how someone can be so blind to the reality of the world they live in.

you have a history of applying this myopic perception as a majority example of the remaining 99% of the country. When will you ever wake up?

facts are facts. spin it how you want, but stop deluding yourself.

Wouldn't perception be the best way to denote reality.
