Why is America so ace?

Going back to New York for the 4th time in 12 months next week. Got friends & family there so I'm always going on holiday there. Love the place
 
I'm American, but I'm in awe of the English during WW2. I cringe to see "bailed out" used to describe America's intervention.
I'd get into a lot of WW2 "we bailed you out" bantz when I was in the US and I always felt obligated to mention the massive Russian contribution (20-30 million dead?) who we often seem to leave out of such discussions.

We've got alot of Germans here. Lots of them. Fair to see how that might have come up. Hell, even Lindbergh was sweet on the Nazis but because he thought if we got rid of Hitler, we'd be opening up the West to the ravages of "Asiatic Communism". Don't make either right but it is what it is.
The fact there was a sold out Nazi rally in New York City's Madison Square Garden in the late 30's is just insane to think about.

Yiasu mate. How was it?
 
Why is this even a question? We suck. Every American who thinks we don't is an idiot. Our government is the most corrupt dog and pony show ever. And before any other 'Muricans get mad at me, yes I am planning to move.

I will say though our beer trumps any other country's by a f***ing mile (sorry ~1.6 kilometers).
 
Yiasu mate. How was it?

sound mate, bit quite around troulos were we were but hotel was brill, family run supposed to be 4 star but nearer 5 star, nice beaches , and hired a boat out for a day to visit islands and beaches you could only get to by boat, the town was booming , lots of cool euro types mixed with decent brits, kurt russell and goldie were there but i didnt see them everbody else seemed to though, boss place need to get a grip of ale prices though or there greed will ruin the place, staff on 3.20 euro an hour selling vodka and coke at 8 euro a pop not going to entice people to visit, the brit pubs ,bars which i normally avoid were rakeing it in ,by charging the same as here, deffo one of the best greek islands and best places in the med ,few yanks there as well not as many on santorini tho

Tonight - well in 8 short hours, I'm packing my family into the car and setting off from Houston to, well as far as I can go East - till I need to stop and sleep! Then the following day we shall arrive at Disneyworld, Florida!

That's what I love about the USA. I can just get in my car and drive to some awesome places!

It IS without question - the land of opportunity! Good, honest, hard work is rewarded here! My move 4years ago has turned out to be the best decision I've ever made in my life. The quality of life I have over here in unparalleled in the UK - certainly with what I was doing before I left AND I had a decent quality of life in the UK.

Food is erm....so so. Some good, some bad - same as UK really.

Economy is certainly not in the doldrums like other parts of the world.

Cost of living is certainly cheap here in Texas. Not so much in NYC or California - but in Texas - without doubt - great standard of living at a fraction of the cost of the UK.

And finally - the weather! I love the sun!

I come from the land down under!

USA is so far up its own Arse it sees light when Lady Liberty opens her mouth, Australia is far superior in every sense of the word, if you'd like the lifestyle but would prefer a more UK type climate then NZ is almost as good.
 
Not having a convict butt into this.

Come back when all your animals don't kill you.

Not all our animals are deadly mate some are cute and cuddly, Koalas, Bilby's, Wallabies, Nurse Sharks, Sun Bather's, Green Tree Snakes ........ OK I'm running out of examples here but you know what I mean.

I've lived here 16 years now and so far have only lost one leg to a shark bite and a couple of fingers to a crocodile, can't see how that's dangerous?
