What I like about the US!

[Al Khalifah]

Its several thousand miles away.

They speak English, albeit a bastardised English, but at least they are sensible and are backing the winning horse. They are helping to spread English throughout the world which makes global communication much easier.

They dislike the French.

They have a positive war aggregate with the United Kingdom. A good ally is always useful and so we can forgive the occasional friendly fire incident.

The South is full of some downright decent country folk, although being white and straight can occasionally help.

Vegas is the best stag night venue in the world as long as the groom doesn't marry someone else by accident first.

I've never been there, but US tourists are always friendly.

They have managed to make entertainment a goal in itself, although the current 'entertainment' we get from there is pretty bad.

They're a great example of the Euro liberals (in the euro sense).

[A.Saturnus]

The very, very good science that is done there.

[Proletariat]

I think America gets the rep for 'manufactured emotional happiness' from our culture of sales persons and whatnot. (Waiters, clerks, make-up counter women, flight attendants, etc) A nasty side effect of consumerism.
