Depends what exactly you're talking about.\n\nI'm Canadian but I have an American husband. Hence all his family is American. We're working on a visa to bring me down there to him. But not for the US, if I had my choice, I'd stay here. But he's got a really really good job there that I can't ask him to leave and he'd probably never find here.\n\nSo... I'm not blind to American faults. But I also don't hate the country. The people are strong, influential, fascinating. But America has glaring faults and sometimes the things they do absolutely terrify me.\n\nThe odd thing is, I love the US almost as much as I love Canada and there's no where else (but New Orleans) in the world that I'd rather live if I'm not living in Canada. I just absolutely hate the direction it's going in. \n\nReligion is gaining far too much power in the country. And that needs to change for it's own good. Or it will no longer be the "land of the free" but the land of the oppressed and hated.\n\nSo how do I feel? I love them. But they terrify me.

That's good to hear, enough countries hate us already and to be honest, i dont ever think to myself " who doesnt like America" i instead think "who does like American". We are really hated thanks to our government when really Americans themselves (most) are very nice family people.

I will definitely take your side on this question, listen...Yes, the Continent is called "North America" and it is included.  Anyway the U.S.A has been so dominant since "white people" have taken over the country and that may be why and EVERYBODY HEAR THIS:  The white people that say "I am half American and half English(U.K) are not.  The so-called "Americans are actually most of them are descendants from Britain and most of Europe.  Listen to this one.  What are "Native Americans"?  That's right, they are Indians, which means that most of the ones that consider themselves white Americans are actually European and here is another the term "WHITE PERSON" ranges from now..U.S.A, Canada, Australia, and most of Europe including Russia.  And yes about the government, the decisions they make do affect us, for instance(please don't hate me for speaking the truth) The War that we are in, in my opinion it is made a bigger deal than it should be and it is affecting us in one example by using up money and jacking the gas prices way up, so if I tried to FULLY ANSWER THIS QUESTION, it would be too long to try to read and if you want me to give you a full answer modify detail on your question and I will make it able to contact me.

because it shows that your country has compassion and that it can admit that it was a mistake to rob the land from previous owners. At least when the usa bought new york from the indians we gave them blankets and beads...\nCAN YOU TELL ME WHERE YOUR LAND RIGHTS ORIGINATE

America because it is the land of the free.

You're talking about ancient history, and besides, the Mexicans sold that land to the US.  Or, is this silly question about putting the crackers on a guilt trip?  In either case, the deals done, the US now owns the land, and they're not giving it back.\n\nIf anyone should feel stupid or guilty, it's the Mexicans.  They're the one's who sold it, I guess that was pretty stupid!  The Mexican government should feel guilty because they sold precious land that belonged to their people, to the American government.\n\nI wonder how long it took the Mexicans to realize that they cut a bad deal? I threw that in to really piss off a few Mexican officials!

Speak for yourself.  You're to fat, lazy, and stupid to type or spell  correctly.  And your opinions reflect your stupidity and laziness.  America is the greatest country on earth.  We have done more good for the world than all other countries put together.

The U.S. is only 200 years old. A relatively "young" country. While other cultures have been around for centuries. Sadly, the other nations of the world see Americans as rude, spoiled brats! \nDo you even care enough to make us feel differently? Probably not. But\nAmerica will soon see, it is just a small country, in very Big world.\nWise up!

Let's reverse the Monroe doctrine ("America for Americans"). The idea of Monroe was that "Americans" (from de US) should rule "America" (in a broad sense).\n\nNow, thinking about it, if all is "America" and people from Canada to Argentina are americans...  we should be all able to go to "America" as the US. Any person from Guatemala should be able to define himself as "american" and go to "America", but not the other way around. "Americans" are not necessarily "mexican" but "mexicans" are "americans".\n\nSo, they should get a name for themselves and their nation urgently before we all invade them using this theory as a legal argument.\n\nFor example... Bushland. And they should be bushlanders.

cgalloway1973 is right, I'm British, and believe that we are just as capable as the Americans. BTW, to the guy who mentioned that we were (supposedly) kicked out of every country we conquered, you're wrong! It's true that we were kicked out of a few of the Nations, but we decided to give most of them back by free will alone! This inter-nation rivalry has to stop, WE'RE ON THE SAME BL**DY SIDE!!! That saying, "all the gear, but no Idea" is just a bit of friendly banter, but there are a few people here who take it too far.

I'm happy to be American. But you are American too. The Caribbean is part of America. Chicago's my home, so maybe I can't say I'm a proud Californian, but I'm not in denial about where I'm from either. Happy to be american, I'll leave it at that.
