An article I found on the Net. While all these people contribute to humanitarian cause and made an impact globally and locally, I never know why they make America great. Isn't it better to say how the make the world a better place? Oh and Brad Pitt is in it too.

Some interesting people in that group, but including the fake journalist Soledad "Jaws" O'Brien and half of Brangelina was maybe a bit too much.

My first knee-jerk reaction was "what sort of tacky hero-worship is this ?"...

I don't really see what it has to do with "making America great" either, since the last I checked nice and caring people popped up pretty much everywhere. Unless of course they're so rare in America they deserve special attention - you know, like an endangered species - but personally I don't hold that low views of the place...

Maybe they heard about the whole getting vomit out of the carpet episode and had to stop the presses and rewrite the story.

The Hero-Worship and Cult of Personality in the United States! That's, like, news!

(note the sarcasm, please)

It's just a random article anyway. Has as much authority to name the fifteen consuls as a...I can't think of a fancy Texan metaphor right now.

Besides, that StfS is left out is most aggravating! After all, he's the only American France ever likes!

That's 15 people who make America great, not the 15 people who make America great.

Because I haven't even heard of most of the people listed it is clearly biased and/or blatantly false.

Pfff, some list, mine for America goes like this:
Booker T & the MGs
Social Distortion
Tiger Army
Chuck Berry
Conan O'Brien
Mel Brooks
Bill Clinton (BJ's for everyone, Bill's paying!)
Chris Berman (So fun to practice English by wathcing him)
B.B. King
Tom Morello
Steven Speilberg
Clint Eastwood
System of a Down
My Brother (absolutely hilarious)
All American Orghas (mostly Devastating Dave and Strike)
It counted groups of people as 1 so I can too. But this is just an outsider looking in.

I never thought this article would cause such a 'debate'. However, I got to laugh at the last page of article when they said that Oprah gave away free cars in her free time.

And what is this thing going on with Sfts? I thought I last saw him in the Frontroom or... maybe he's seriously gone?:help:

That's a filthy lie. Hello Kitty is a true blue American patriot. How else do you explain this?

It's a ploy! Lemur, don't fall to the Japanese government conspiracy! Don't you see? They're trying to subvert the patriotic American into believing Hello Kitty is one of us before stabbing us in the back!

:wacky:
