Just like any other country, it has good points and bad points. I think the idea of America that the founding fathers set out of secularism, free speech etc. was a fantastic idea that unfortunately didn't work out as intended. By this I am referring to the dominance of religion in politics (it would be political suicide for a politician to admit to being an atheist), which is completely against the founding principles of the nation. I like the fact that free speech is protected by the constitution, especially as Britain is getting ever-more PC.
I think the gun culture in America, whilst once again founded on justifiable principles, is quite simply atrocious in this day and age and guns clearly cause far more deaths than lives saved. I find it annoying how Americans can't spell properly, mainly regarding z's and s's. I like the geographic variety that the country offers, as British countryside gets a bit boring after a while (although some places are lovely and picturesque). I think Americans tend to be more arrogant than most people, but that's probably because of the schooling system drilling patriotism into them. A little bit of patriotism is good, especially about the founding values of the nation, but some people really do take it too far. I appreciate the American contribution to the World Wars, but some Americans are completely misinformed. When they act like they saved the day it's quite frankly insulting; America knows nothing of the suffering that Europe faced in that time. America has invented a lot of useful tech which I appreciate, although the power of some corporations worries me (especially on things such as data collection).
So as I said - good points and bad points. I don't really have a problem with any individual Americans and America as a country is responsible for a great many good things, but certain attitudes and such things towards religion, guns etc do concern me.
