America is so overrated. It's full of hyper patriots, has a huge gun problem no matter how you look at it, and it's a first world country yet to introduce free medical care. A fine place to live if your rich, but they treat the poor like crap compared to other developed countries. A large percentage of the population genuinly believes that America is free'er than the rest of the world, which is true only if you are a heterosexual white man who really likes guns.You need to come live here before you make assumptions lilac.....

Where do I constantly try to bash it?......
You're always defending the US, I'm not talking about this thread....
Bias works both ways ,true, but it doesnt matter when the americans outnumber the others 20 to 1.....
0/10, I would rather suck my own willy than live in America. Go onto Xbox live (if you not American) and you will see why I hate Bloody Yanks. Theres been 1 American that I could even talk to.PacmanChampionIt's generally a bad idea to judge an entire country and population off of Xbox Live Users... I've met UK xbox live users as bad as some american users, it works both ways.

One....every thread the mentions the US.
Two...I defend it because I'm tired of the constant bashing....especially from people that never set foot in the states.
Three....doesn't matter...bias is bias. So complaining about bias on one side only is hypocritical.

Americans (from what I've heard) are hated in many countries. If tourists from Canada go to another country with their flag on their back they are more likely to get help than an American. Besides some people may find that us not having much of an army a good thing. Not to mention that we have made a lot of allies, meaning that if an emergency did come up, we would get help ;).

Hell, if you hate them that much you shouldnt really play the games that are made by americans either...

6.9/10. Loses 2 for the corrupt government, and another for the small number of loudmouth "Yanks" that seem to solely populate the media. And .1 for stereotyping my country as drunkards.ithilgore2006We didn't create that stereotype....

one....I'm not bashing it, I'm trying to debate with people......When I , in a thread about how wrong the Iraq war is, try to explain why I think america's choice was stupid and unconstitutional, with facts all you guys hear is "Omg teh USA sux I hate it *burns flag* " .....I've praised the US countless times but you don't seem to notice....
two.....I've lived in the US for 2 years and I also have family there....I live in Toronto at the moment and visits the states on a regular basis , so I think I have quiet an understanding on how you guys live and think....
three....bias is bias but it doesnt matter.....It would be hypocritical if the population of americans equaled the population of other nationalities.....but it's true bias is bias..

Its my background because Its the last game I played, and I,m playing it because its a good game.... Its a shame its got Americans in though, that the whole problem with the gaming world, too many Yanks.PacmanChampionYou're not really making UKers look cool...:|
Wrong. The USA is a country. The American people are the those who live in the USA. The American government is that which governs the USA.
USA people good.
USA government bad.

U.S.A. deserves no more than a 7/10, there are good sides... but it seems to me that lots of americans are way too patriotic and are in most cases ignorant on what is really going on in the world. They see themselves as the center of the world, and I have see lots of them think that their army could take on the entire world :| I mean there is a limit... I have been to the US and have been asked questions of this nature: "So is it fun living in an igloo?" I mean... wtf!!Well, IS it fun living in an igloo?

We don't actually think you live in igloos, we just have a hard time not pretending that we do since it get you so riled up.
