Thanked: 116What is right with America?
After 22 pages of "What is wrong with America?", I thought it would be nice to have the flip side!
I'll start with the obvious generalization: Americans aren't as afraid of failure as Europeans. It may sound stupid, but it has a huge impact on entrepreneurship.

Despite "what is wrong" we keep moving forward. Having kids, going to work, helping your friends and family. I am a big believer that "America" (and the rest of the world for that matter) is no better or worse off than it has been. There are plenty of wonderful, and terrible, things that happen everyday. Just like yesterday, last year, and last century. I think most people just can't adjust to it being different than when they grew up or what they think it should be.
The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

On the whole, super nice people, great history in everything from music, to literature, to the triumph of the human spirit, to innovation, to hard work, to accountability and generally if bad stuff happens, the American's will be there to help for the simple sake of it being the right thing to do. They put their good stuff and their bad stuff for everyone to see, and they love the taste of Silver at Olympic Hockey.....

America is always a work in progress. We have in the past, and will continue to provide opportunities for human beings seeking shelter from the world's storms of hunger, violence and untenable discrimination in various forms.

Opinions are welcome. Lots of men and women think this country is so great they volunteer their lives for it. Football.
No one is getting beheaded on the internet because of religion.
Just to name a few...
