@Hero in mid-evil times obesity was considered a luxury and a sign of wealth. America is home to some of the biggest companies in the world. We paved the way for liberty and freedom. We have people like Abraham Lincoln, Andrew Jackson, George Washington, etc. We revitalized Europe post-world war II with the Marshall plan. We made the first Steamboat revolutionizing transit and trade worldwide. We are home to the largest economy in the world. We created the first trans-continental railroad thus furthering our transit and trade markets. We created the world's first skyscraper and we expanded our nation to it's fullest within the span of 50 years. We invented the lightbulb and 'discovered' electricity. We were the first men in aviation if you don't remember the wright brothers. We re-invented the term 'production' when Eli Whitney invented the Cotton Gin allowing us to mass produce cotton by the billions. We freed ourselves from a maniacal king and then kicked his ass in the same breath. We were the first in assembly line production thus furthering our economical advances. We invented the sextant, next time you're on a voyage off the candian coast remember what you're using to find your war around the ocean. Nolan Bushnell can be credited for the creation of 'Pong' the first video game to be created that featured two pattles on either side of a flat screen that hit a ball back and forth. We redefined warfare with the atomic bomb. We assassinated the world's most feared terrorist. We created the internet, moreover we created Google, Yahoo, Apple, Dell, Microsoft, etc. We are home to the most famous people in the world. America boasts the most prestigious accolades to date, no other country has accomplished as much as us. We have the most advanced medical care in the world. America paves the way in every field possible. We made Hollywood and film as we know it today. We made the first rock 'n' roll. We created (as trivial as this is) Coca Cola, some of the first soda in the world. People look to our country as the greatest in the world, we have been in quadruple(+) the wars Canada has been involved in. Does 'The American Dream' not resonate with you? The Gold rush? Armstrong walking on the moon? Lewis and Clark expansion? The annexation of Texas? Vancouver Canada is home to the biggest concentration of junkies in the world. Vancouver legally injects heroin into people for free as a medical program for those with severe addiction. National Geo. did a 45 minute piece displaying the heroin addiction in Vancouver. And as badass as the horsemen are, who's going to chase down a purp more effectively, a guy mounted on a horse, or a ****in' helicopter. America > Everyone
