This question clearly indicates that you missed my point. Actually I don't think you likely missed my point. I think you decided to overlook it.

Freedom, Prosperity > Limited Freedom, Corruption > Communism

I didn't miss or over look your point, I'm just interested to see how, when given a list of three random countries, you would rank them.

I give you my word that I wont say a word. I'd be interested in how you viewed random countries

I wouldn't mind doing it as a matter of pragmatism. But since you'd just use it as fodder to diminish my substantive premise, I'll pass.

Your cultures are now very set in stone and each state has something different to offer from the next. You have a huge music and film industry which a large part of he world are enjoying.

You contribute a lot to the world sciences and etc etc.

Rank these 3 countries

South Africa
Austria

As a Chinese-Canadian, I like to take viewpoints into both the PRC and Canada.
I claim neutrality towards the Communist Party of China, but everything else that is currently present in the PRC is not something to be proud of. The high air pollution level, corruption, lack of basic morals (ex.the intentional sale of counterfeit products to make abnormal profits are very common right now), and severe ignorance within the general populance are just several aspects. I am however, proud of Chinese cuisine.
There are a lot more positive things about Canada. People are nicer (usually), the crime rate is lower, and there's always enough resources to sustain the developed economy. However, I find it disturbing that Canada is becoming increasingly reliant and influenced by its neighbour, because the customs of Canada are much better than many other developed countries.

You claim neutrality towards the communist party of China? They did a great job of brain washing you.

So im interested in what you each think of your country? Are you proud to be called a (Whatever you are?)
Obviously this applies to everyone not just Americans.

Me personally, i love the English culture, history (especially watching England learn and mature as a nation) but i am not impressed with the way our politicians are running our country or the way are people are reacting (or rather not reacting to it)

I think our culture is getting somewhat lost and we are becoming known for our chavvy element. And i hate the fact that so many people of England are fed up.

On the flipside we are producing many a decent scientist with probably the best probe module engineers in the world (yes its a small part of space exploration but an important one)

Our music, although not always to my taste is surprisingly succesful and our movies ... well some of them are good.

Our economy is crippling however but i think thats the case with a lot of countries at the moment.

How do YOU feel about your country?

Most of the people that feel shameful about the USA have a lack of faith in their life. They have been tearing down christianity for so long and with such vitrial, that when it gets old, they turn it to their own country. It's natural to desire to fill the hollow emptiness that a faithless life can lead. They lack purpose. They are also the people who need someone to blame. These kind of people will always be around. Who breeds with them is a mystery to me.

I am also grateful to live in a country that is free. While most complain about the freedoms we have being slowly taken away, its still more free then most.

I am also intrigued by other cultures, especially Poland & Ireland being I am part of both. I do wonder what it would be like to live in either place. I at the least know I would love the food

I like Canada too, I visited once & would love to go back. Very nice people.

Probably any trip that would allow one to leave Ohio is pretty amazing.

There's a feeling when you're entering the country back after being a few months or years overseas. It can be described, maybe is something everyone else feels when coming back to his/her country?

Try coming up for air when you're done sucking America's dick. Britons do it well, but, seriously - ol' Sax doesn't wanna hafta perform cyber-CPR here in the threads if you pass out!

Maybe try rolling over and presenting? America might like some quick one-two action on you - the tongue gets old after awhile.
