We actually have more free speech rights under law than most places.

Most Americans in their hearts are censorious a**holes who wish it was against the law for their enemies to speak, but so far, the courts have sided with free speech.

Most Americans also have no idea what the law on free speech is, which leads to a lot of arguments, but nobody gets jailed by the government for it.

I live near a National park. Went on an annual walk there on Friday with my family. We do truly have an amazing system of parks.

Parks, freedom, nature, the size of the country and openness. Not needing a license to watch TV.

The United States keeps the free world free.

The reality is, without the US, Russia would run rampant across Europe - think about what would happen were if not for US aid to Ukraine/eastern Europe just this year. Most of the major European powers (Germany, France, Italy) were caught off guard and were unprepared.

Of course, I don't think there is any arguing that were it not for the US, China would have already invaded/taken over Taiwan. China would also complete dominate the South China Sea.

So as much as people enjoy bad-mouthing the US on Reddit, the US plays a pivotal role in keeping the free world free and we are all better off for it.

Compared to China and North Korea, the USA is the ideal promise land of the free.

True. I think it’s easy to forget that, but we are much better off than a ton of places.

This is the ONLY country in the world where you can come to with only the shirt on your back and become successful with grit, respect and hard work! It’s not always pretty or easy but very achievable with a goal achieving mindset!

Yesterday afternoon I went to lunch at a Mexican restaurant, with a lady of Indian heritage, a guy who was born in Burma, 2 men born in Mexico, a guy from South Carolina, and my pasty white boy ass.

And the entirety of this hole in the wall Mexican place with absolutely bomb ass food, cheered for the US beating iran.

We have problems for sure, but this country is a ridiculous melting pot of mixed ethnicities that have mostly come together to make it better for each other. And so many of us have pride in this country, and love what it’s capable of being.

We are more alike than not, and we all can be nice to one another. It kinda was this awesome moment yesterday when we scored, and the whole place was cheering.

Verrry beautiful and interesting geology. Also many hidden/unknown places that are super cool and no people around. A paradise for geologist/petrologists.

agreed, but imo what is a country other than a collection of people? Good people are what make good countries, such as our brave, REAL, democratically elected, president, bernie sanders
