The museums
Movies/TV Show.
Sure, with the 75 different steaming services all trying to produce content the majority is horseshit, but even if just around 15% is decent, that’s still more decent content than the output of entire other country’s film industries.
75 different steaming services
Typo or not, accurate.
The 2 times turn limit for presidents.
It’s actually “term limit” as in “term of office”.
Nahh, there’s also a secret amendment that caps them out at 720° of motion in a single instance of movement.
This is actually the Secret Service 's main charter.
Without the American innovation of deep frying a wrapped dough something within another wrapped dough something and serving it in a bucket, I don’t think civilization would be on the positive path it is on right now.
Wikipedia says people have been doing that since at least 2000 years before Christ!
As many have said, our National Parks are incredible, and even outside of them most of the western US is pretty awe-inspiring. I live in a place where, within an hour or two, I can go to desert badlands, alpine forests, coastal tide pools, and even skiing resorts for decent chunks of the year. I was recently up at 11k ft altitude in the Sierras and at -250 ft in Death Valley a few hours apart. The US is HUGE and big parts of it are still very wild. It’s something worth fighting to preserve.
Edit: Also we can’t read, I am American. Look, I didn’t say the education system was good.
Don’t worry; as a person born and raised in New Mexico most people would consider me an immigrant so I can say that I agree with your sentiment that the land is truly glorious. We got a freakin northern coast and a temperate massive grassland for farming all the food anyone could ever need (barring tornado or big agriculture ruining it). Not to mention a great trench in which to cast dissidents or non-virginal women who dared to miscarry their pregnancies. We also got The Big River and then built the bigger car-river! Truly, a wondrous land.
The national parks. I visited Yosemite Valley two years ago and it was amazing. We don’t have acces to nature in this scale in central europe.
I’m an American but I remember talking to a gentleman from Belgium years ago while visiting Muir Woods. He said something along the lines of, “You all have some of the best national parks in the world. You should be very proud of them.”
That conversation gave me an appreciation for our national parks. We are fortunate to have some pretty amazing scenery in the US.
I criticize our country for a lot, but the National Parks we did right by. I’m so glad we did that.
Thank Teddy!
The influence into rock music in general is nice and one of the only reasons why I’d like to visit the states, e. g. Seattle, Nashville, Chicago and so on.
The landscape.
Mexican food
Seriously, as an American the best part of America are the Mexicans.

Never been, but american culture. Music, film, food. Americans seem to be really good at small talk and usually pleasant to meet when I’m on holidays.
The shopping! You can’t beat prices at a department store on clothing on a long weekend with a coupon for 25% off everything. I don’t bother clothes shopping in Canada at all, I save my US cash and go on Black Saturday, where the prices are pretty much as good as Black Friday and not as crazy, or on Memorial Day weekend and come away with reams of clothes and shoes for under 500 dollars. And somehow they always have your size,unlike Canadian stores which tend to be picked over as hell, and I’ve never had to have pants shortened from the US. I like clothes shopping a whole lot.
Your individualism. Of course I’m aware of the huge downsides, but my understanding is that personal freedom has been a vanishing rare thing in human history. As I see it, some very odd circumstances (puritans and the frontier) generated the USA, which morphed into something even weirder still: a libertarian superpower. Which then, in extremis, saved the rest of us from authoritarianism of both right and left. Probably temporarily. I predict that after it all collapses, and with better hindsight, we’ll appreciate the USA more than we do today.
High quality and rugged leather goods. PNW boots, deer/elkskin gloves, belts, wallets and so on.
We’re a nation of frontiersmen.
- Cultural influence: music, cinema, social movements of the 1960s and 70s
- Beautiful nature
- Agility in business environments (although I might have a limited sample)
- not without criticism but I think NATO is generally a positive thing
- Food (no not junk food, there’s several fascinating regional cuisines)
