a big pro is that the U.S. is the first and oldest democracy in the world. no world war hit their continent. stongest military power in the world. etc. etc. lots of pros actually. too much to list. but us europeans have a lot of pros too so we could argue forever

actually if you want to be exact, you cant compare the two continents at all. long story. lack of time and vocabulary keep me from discussing that here. lucky you )



the only main problem i have with that country is the extreme cultural (and sometimes political) ignorance and arrogance. you have a nice example of that in this thread: fquist (from the NL) uses a U.S. term to describe his own time format!
