Who loves America?

With all the moronic posts about how other counties hate the US, I though I would put a pick me up post here. Why do you love America?
 
I live in the United States and for now is the best Country in the World (to my knowledge) so why not love it right?
 
Couldn't think of a better place I would want to live, nothing against other countries, but the United States is the best by far.
 
Even though this country does alot of dumb things here and elsewhere in the world, I still love it because of what it was founded on.
 
my parents came to america about 15 years ago when i was 3 with no more than a hundred dollars and a plane ticket from Poland. Now we live in a $400,000 house in the suburbs. If that doesn't make this a great country I don't know what does.
 
<<....we have completely wacked out drug laws!>>

Yes, we do. But, I love it in spite of this. The first reason that comes to mind is the unlimited opportunities that we are given.

Now that is what truly makes the U.S. a great country. 🙂

thats awesome...sucks for me, cuz all the houses around here are at least $900,000 at the least 🙁. and at the other places around san jose houses cant be found for less than a million! :Q and trust me, those houses are lil small run down houses...

but anyways, it is a great country with great balance. a wonderful place to work, of course not the best in everything, but id say top notch overall. 😀

America.. What a great Country!! LOL.. Sorry but that reminds me of that old Soviet era Comic Yakoff Smirnof




<< cuz all the houses around here are at least $900,000 at the least . and at the other places around san jose houses cant be found for less than a million! >>

Yeah BullSh!t. I just checked out the average price and they aren't going for $900,000 to a Million. Try around $500,000 to 650,000.

no, that's specifically why america isn't a great country. while you may be living in luxury in your $400,000 dollar house, your parents former country persons are mostly likely living in relative squalor, and worse yet people all over the world are living in utter abject poverty, because people like US (i'm no exception) make up 30% of the worlds population yet use 70% of the worlds resources. overconsumption is bad mmmkay...
 
well it wasn't always easy. We used to live in the ghetto in Philly, then when i was about 6-7 we moved up to a double in Northeast. My mom's always had her house cleaning business, and my father has done a lot work on his own, one time a chain of stores that sell glass products imported from poland. We moved to our 400k house recently, and well, my dad did some stupid stuff, like invest in the stock market probably a day before it crashed! just goes to show you how unpredictable life is.

not exactly. We visit the "motherland" lol every couple of years, and everyone in my immediate family is well off. I guess it's because my entire family has a strong sense of the individual business... i can't think of anyone who works for somebody else in my family in poland. BUt alot of my family also lives on the farms out in the country, but they're happy where they are.

the point is you can be anything you want to be, but it's not easy. Anyone in poland could do what my parents did, it's just up to the individual. If you don't like being poor, then get your ass together. But i will agree that a lot of people are stuck in poverty, and there's not much of a chance to get on your feet.
 
My grandparents emigrated (or perhaps I should say "fled") from Poland prior to WWII without a penny to their name. When they arrived here in the United States they were dirt poor, but yet they still managed to raise three children, two of whom are now successful physicians.

EDIT: Just so there is no confusion, if they had remained in Poland, they would have been sent to concentration camps.
