I believe what makes it good, as we all know is the freedom. The freedom of speech-but we do have limits, which keep us civilized. What makes it bad is certain people. Certain people are evil, and hideous, and alot of them are at the top. Thats the simple way of seeing it, but alot fo times the good beats out the bad, and the bad beats out the good. It's barley balanced...if you ask me  And why does it matter, we are the best place in the world, and all are ciztens know it-even though their is alot of bad....but as I said above, the good beats out the bad alot of the time.

umm...the thing that makes this nation great, is that while sometimes, we war with ourselvse a little, you know, PvP stuff, a lot of anger towards eachother, and towards the goverment, BUT when it comes down to it, we stick together when theres a need, we can go from "You dirty good for nothing naber" to "EARL GET YER KIDS! WE GOTTA GET OUTA HERE! DID YA SEE THE KNEWS! WERE GONNA BE BOMBED! YOU FIRST! ILL HOLD OF THE GERMINS AS LONG AS I CAN BUDDY!"and why is this possible? because of, as lumbia said, freedom, freedom to do whatever we want as long as its not hurting anyone, or breaking a law(and yes, there are tons of laws, but that keeps the idiots alive, which is another great thing about our nation) oh, and dont forget, were the only nation that fond a need to put a warning on the end of a gun baral that say's "warning, objects exit from end of barle at extremly high volicities" which in itself might not make sense(if your looking at the warrning its not gonna do you much good as its at the end of the baral) it is at least in good heat... oh ya, and uncle bens rice bowls warn that the food will be hot, gotta love it@! -------------------- "Insert Snappy quote here"

I agree with Lumbia; America is made great with its sense of freedom, with limits on it to prevent chaos and anarchy. Especially since this country managed to prosper from simple colonies from foreign lands...Ah, but there is one, small nagging little thing: America, 'the best place in the world.' I have to admit it, we are the strongest country in the world, but I'm basing that on a military perspective. To be the 'best country in the world', I think that would have to depend on how people feel overall about the country and its policies like with crime, pollution, its own government, and our relationship with other countries which, I hate to say, really isn't looking too good right now...(Middle East, Asia, etc.) 'All our citizens' probably do think highly of this country, but don't forget some of these citizens are part of this new wave of child kidnappings and child molestations in Churches that just happened recently. Sure, its on evil intentions, but these people still have lived in the US long enough to think they can screw over the system. But, thats not what I think makes America bad, since we all know those things are evil anyways. What makes America bad, in my opinion, are people who have let their pride or beliefs of this country blind their reason and their ability to see the truth, and unfortunately that kind of people are on top. The truth is: We need help. Badly. -------------------- Take President 'Dubya' Bush and cut him in two.
