Mexican food
Seriously, as an American the best part of America are the Mexicans.
Cars, probably a controversial one, but we don’t really have “muscle” cars like the firebird and mustang in the UK, and I’ve always been a little fascinated by them.
As machines they are cool. But they just encourage people who can afford them to drive like complete twats.
I think you’re confusing them with pickup trucks, our official badge of douchebaggery.
No, those as well, and anything with an Audi badge.
The Entertainment. You have really good movies, tv series, music, comedy.
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.
Dolly Parton
God bless Dolly.
- 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)
Right on red
And T.J. Birrya y Mas in Missouri City, HoustonRight on red
Not a cyclist, I see.
Maybe if cyclists would stop at right lights like they’re fucking legally supposed to, they wouldn’t get run over by cars doing what’s perfectly legal.
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.
It’s the entertainment center of the world. Shows, concerts, festivals, and all the popular entertainment events happen here. I wouldn’t have been able to see my favorite artists/bands in person back in my home country.
Whatever we did during the campaign to get kids to stop smoking cigarettes managed to work wonders. Even counting vape, the nicotine users numbers are way down. There are other countries with legal weed who still have more tobacco smokers than us too so I think its more than just the availability of weed, although that clearly helped a lot.
Non-Americans:
I managed to quit smoking via vaping!
Aaaaaand then we banned all the flavored vapes, including those without nicotine. So I fell back into cigarettes. So stupid.
Toothpicks and willpower, friend.
The answer is a whole-society approach, AND heavy regulation. You provide information from a whole host of sources, government and private, and you basically ban disinformation (read: advertising) from contradicting or subverting it.
The First Amendment.
A blessing and a curse.
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.
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 national parks? I’d like to visit one.
They’re AMAZING
Don’t forget about the National Monuments! They’re not sculptures etc, but cool stuff like walls of dinosaur bones and canyons!
There are quite a few impressive state parks as well.
Totally worth it. The ones you’ve actually heard of though are too popular and generally require a reservation and waiting to visit. But there are a LOT of National Parks that are “less popular” that are just as amazing that don’t require reservations or possibly even entrance fees.
Sure. Oftentimes it’s the not so popular places that have their own charm. And I mean the USA is kind of a big place 😆 There are lots of very different experiences to choose from.
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!
