    -The General Outward Friendliness of most people, in most parts of the country (yes, even many people I have met in ghettos are rather nice... just don't stay out to late or get involved with gangs.)

    -Guns and Hunting for the masses (Hunting is one of my favorite things to do in the fall... in most places in the world hunting is privatized.)

    -Food (I don't care what you think... after eating seafood for 7 months straight, nothing is better than a good steak or hamburger grilled in good ol' Americana.)

    -Politics aside, Americans in general are nice people and liberally accepting people... even though we have our radicals, religious feuding between Christians/ Non-Christians is relatively nil, if someone says something bad about the other side, chances are the other side never hears it.) Unless there is some dumbass thing about an athiest wanting "in god we trust" off the national anthem, it's still important to recognize our nation's history and tradition... most of which comes from those uptight werido Pilgrims with buckles on their hats. (Unfortunately my ancestors were one's themselves).

    -Fiercely Loyal, being an American by birth, I am still loyal to the cause of our freedom and democracy, although somewhat skeptical about our current policies, if there was ever an attempt to overthrow the government into something outside of being democratic or relatively free society (hey we can still pray to whomever we want, or not at all! and we still have equal opportunity) I think millions upon millions of people from every niche' in American society would find themselves in common ground, liberals... conservatives... hippies... the vast majority of people can still come together in trying times... just look at WWII.

    Baywatch
    I like that they helped Europe after WW2

    I am impressed by their self-confidence and their always promblem solving approach
