We aren't any of the following:
insanely jealous of each other (I'm serious!)
hyper competitive
education(study) nazis
afraid to use force to subdue criminal behavior
ignorant of world politics (despite what Europe tries to tell us)

We never say "thats impossible/that can never happen". If we have a problem, we try to fix it. We don't ignore it and pretend it doesn't exsist because it seems to great to overcome.

Even our conservatives are remarkably open minded. (here I am a far left liberal, despite being hawkish).

I can still shoot someone to protect myself or family.

We do a lot to help coutries and people all over the world, despite biased foreign media that never reports it or always spin it negatively.
