Almost as funny as Eastlake being part of Chula vista, east of 805 is really nice.

Things that other countries have that America does not:

-Good K-12 education
-Meat that isn't fed hormones and artificially fattened up
-Governments that aren't run by lobbyists (especially Scandinavia)
-Cars that don't weigh 2 tons and get 15 mpg.
-High-speed rail systems
-People who actually intelligently protest when there is a government injustice taking place.

Yeah, I know, there are so many positive things that I could list too, but I'm just in a very anti-corporate mood today.


I could not agree with you more. That is why I would like to move to UK, or a good European country when i get older. Plus there are too many fat people in America. We do have awesome coasters though...

Gouldy: So, yellow journalism has infected more Western countries than just America?


America doesn't have:


-Good fairs (why don't we?)
-Cool snacks (fruit parfait Kit Kats in Japan, Kiwi Lay's in Japan, Roast Chicken potato chips in the UK, ROSE flavored ice cream in Japan, the list goes on... did you notice a lot of these were from Japan?)
-any cool modern architecture anymore to make us future Engineers proud of our country (one word: Dubai)
-Cheap colleges and universities (HOW DOES GERMANY DO THIS?????????? I'D LOVE TO PAY $8,000 A YEAR FOR A PRIVATE UNIVERSITY)
-The Neostead NS2000 (Apparently, the Canadians and Dutch can buy it, though.)
-politicians that DON'T vote down something just because the other party thought of it, even if it's the best idea in the world (please tell me America isn't the only one.)
-Citizens that think for themselves.

That's all I can think of at the minute.

Isn't that what Western civilization is essentially built upon? [lol]

USA has never been razed in a war, so that is why we don't get to rebuild fancy buildings everywhere.

When you don't need to pay to prop up half the world because the Christians ruined Africa and the Middle East can't cooperate with itself there is less dough floating around for that kind of thing. I would LOVE it if we just stopped sending that whole region boatloads of money all the time.

The US doesn't have suicide bombers...oh wait, but, the government did import some a few years back for a one day travel vacation.
