    America is Great because....

    We give the best 'Customer Service'....

    I didn't like customer service in the US. Service people were often friendly even though their body language indicated they didn't really feel friendly. I didn't like being lied to.

    ... we are the most modest. In fact, we are one hundred million billion times more modest than anyone else.

    ...you can start driving on one side of the continent and go three thousand miles without ever seeing a decent restaurant.

    ...it's the home of Mike Alexander, who can make a deeply cynical post sound like unfeigned admiration.

    America is great for so many reasons. It has beautiful beaches, like Ipanema, and stunning mountains in Torres del Paine. Wonderful cities like Montreal, a spectacular rain forest like the Amazon basin, and majestic wildlife, like the polar bears who visit Churchill. It has produced great poets like Pablo Neruda, insightful novelists like Gabriel García Márquez and VS Naipaul, actors like Raymond Massey, and comedians like Leslie Nielsen. It has natural wonders like the cave of the swallows, and man-made wonders like Machu Picchu. And so, so, much more.

    ... it's one of the few countries which, when spelled backward, sounds like a minor skin disease.

    Now that I think about it, Frosted Flakes isn't a bad synonym for psoriasis.

    America is great because of the Dixie Chicks, a fine bunch of shoe models.

    America is great because it's 3,000 miles from one side to the other, 5,000 miles if we measure all the way to Alaska or Hawaii. That's magnitude for you.

    Also, because we resolutely stick to miles instead of the godless kilometers.

    America is great because we stand on the shoulders of giants and we are so powerful that no one will point out how ridiculous that makes us look.

    And with that, this thread goes in the direction I thought it might. To be clear, further inflammatory posts along political or nationalistic lines will earn the author a stiff infraction. If in doubt, leave it out.

    We came up with both the Quarter Pounder with Cheese for countries still using the English units and The Royal with Cheese for metric countries.

    As an American and a USian, I'm not sure that I would consider fast food as a positive. Johnny cakes, Indian pudding, and clambakes, maybe. But not fast food!
