Lassen Volcanic National Park Lake Tahoe Muir Woods California has a lot of national parks, possibly the most in a single state, and it is incredibly diverse in...ecology.

Megalomaniac 100 December 15, 2016 Share December 15, 2016 I have a mixed heritage even if I'm Caucasian actually. Anyhow I like Western Europe. We invented and achieved pretty much everything and we're more important than everyone else because I say so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anneal 2,197 December 16, 2016 Share December 16, 2016 I have a mixed heritage even if I'm Caucasian actually. Anyhow I like Western Europe. We invented and achieved pretty much everything and we're more important than everyone else because I say so. Until you realize a fair amount of their inventions are thanks to the Arabics and Chinese. Gunpowder and printing may very well have changed the history of Europe as a whole.

Nerdy Luigi 2,065 December 17, 2016 Share December 17, 2016 I like the concept of America... Even though the way it is executed is subpar. At least it's not China or Russia or Belarus. In Belarus, the government is STILL a dictatorship... American cuisine is divine. Heck, if it wouldn't adversely affect my health, I would want a bacon cheeseburger at least once every two or three days, with some good old steak fries. Other than that.. I can't say too much really. Too many idiots in this country (You know what would help that? I shouldn't need to say the answer because of how absurdly obvious the answer is...) and the bigotry that's surprisingly common... for the first democratic republic EVER CREATED. Also, our infrastructure is quite iffy. I mean as in some bridges haven't had maintenance since the 50's... More pressing than flat screen TVs in prisons or than outspending every other military at least threefold, with no necessity at all to do either? Wow the way the American budget is spent is so nonsensical... It is true I can say this, but that already fits into the first of the only 2 good things I can think of right now. Probably because of Trump winning the election, I can't really see the positives anymore. Really wouldn't be able to see any if we got bombed over an insult to his appearance, or something stupid like that. Has a decent chance of occurring. Just thinking about the problems here makes me want to move to Canada, or Norway, or somewhere like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arkadios 91 November 29, 2018 Share November 29, 2018 (edited) I may not enjoy the backwards politics and cutthroat race to survive here, but I will never let anyone say the US isn’t a beautiful place Spoiler (Taken by a friend and I during our cross-country road trip) Edited November 29, 2018 by Arkadios *Data expunged* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhimsicalEngineer 15 November 29, 2018 Share November 29, 2018 Probably the typical easy going aussie. Although since Australia is very multicultural and you're more often than not going to run into someone who's not like that, they're very pleasant to be around.

Here No Longer 5,276 November 29, 2018 Share November 29, 2018 (edited) The Bill of Rights. Although it keeps getting f***ed with by liberals and conservatives alike who only "care" when it represents THEIR agenda... Some of the scenic places, most especially my native Washington State! American cuisine. I don't think life would be the same without a good burger... The accessibility of consumer goods. Even if a majority of the companies that produce them and run the stores are shady at best... Otherwise, I'm not really seeing it. This place although probably among the best countries in the world, is FAR from paradise. It has plenty and I mean PLENTY of flaws. Those include the dominance that the alt-right and the fake left have on politics here (even if the most popular politician in the country is neither), the HORRENDOUS foreign policy, and our lack of actual healthcare that WORKS. Not to mention the corruption, the fact we don't actually have half of the rights listed in the aforementioned Bill of Rights, the rude and arrogant people (yes, Europeans are right about that!), and the air of fascism that blankets our country like a cloud of radioactive fallout... F*** me there's so much wrong with this country, and considering that I rank it around the 20th best country to live in, that's a shame.

AJ2489 2,855 November 29, 2018 Share November 29, 2018 Things I like about my country? Our scenery! The Lake District is a stunning area for views! The North as a whole! Being a Lancashire lad through and through I'm naturally proud of the north plus I always found it to be much more pleasant up here! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gimbus8x 4 November 29, 2018 Share November 29, 2018 I am from Poland - Kraków Kraków is a beautifull city, but unfortunately dirty. Our history is very intresting, full of victories, and defeats. I love our mountains - Tatry. On 11/14/2016 at 11:25 PM, Barpy said: Most czechs are honest, not bullies, friendly when compared to for example Polen Hahahaha! Did you mean Poles? Yea, maybe you are right :). Seriously, we are a specific nation. Maybe too specific And we are not the best in foreign languages, this is probably visble on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpicEnergy 23,218 November 9, 2019 Share November 9, 2019 One of the main things I like about the USA is the Bill of Rights, it's very great to have those freedoms. I also like the type of government, I think it is provides a good balance of freedom and order. Another thing I like are the landmarks in the USA like The Statue of Liberty, The Washington Monument, and The Niagara Falls. I haven't been to those, but I'd love to see them sometime or another. *totally not up to any shenanigans* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Envy 6,162 November 9, 2019 Share November 9, 2019 Alright, let me give this another crack three whole years after that disastrous election sapped away my faith in the country: USA: I like that as I noted in my first post, it's not a third world country. I like that the country is diverse climate-wise. If it were all tropical like Florida it would be miserable. Some portions of the country have four seasons proper, which is nice. Wish I lived in one of those portions... But at least I don't live in Florida. lol As I noted in my first post, we have some nice musical traditions, including jazz. I like that we're supposed to have a separation of church and state. Sadly, it doesn't really matter if our government is corrupt and ignores it anyway. But yeah, sorry, not feeling it for the USA anymore. I grew up thinking it was a great country. I grew up very sheltered. We could be better. We should be better. Everything needs more woodwind!

Here No Longer 5,276 November 9, 2019 Share November 9, 2019 (edited) Let me give a slightly renewed (and also more negative) take on it. I live in the US. Pretty much everything I said in the first post. I like the concept if the Bill of Rights (even if its execution has left a LOT to be desired, considering it keeps getting stomped on), the cuisine (yes, I love my burgers, my fries, and everything else), there's some good scenic places. That's it... Edited November 11, 2019 by Ayyngel Dust Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Splashee 28,564 November 9, 2019 Share November 9, 2019 (edited) There is many things to like about my country, but the main thing I will always regard as the best thing is our main law "Allemansrätten", quickly translated to "Everyone's Right", or more officially translated to "Freedom to roam":https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Freedom_to_roam It gives me the right, as a person, to walk in the nature, anywhere, even on other people's properties, without having to pay for it. If you ever find one of those "No Trespassing" signs here, you just laugh and walk in anyways. And since our law forbids weapons, like guns, you can't be shot either. There is no threat, there is no need to be scared. It opens the world, and makes you wanna explore more! Kinda like how Internet allows you to do whatever you want, basically. It is that kind of freedom! And it helps with your Pokemon Go (joke I don't play that) Edited November 9, 2019 by Splashee 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
