I think of cheap, but poor medical service, low religious tolerance, and hazardous military. I know the last part cause my dad has a friend who was in military service in Canada, and one of his biggest complaints was that the quality of their equipment was just generally more hazardous for the Canadian military than what the US military had to work with. Though I'm also aware that the rest is probably localized areas/situations.

On the less serious note, i think about dudley do right say "Ya Hosers, that's what hockey's all aboot, ey?"

Well when I think of America...I think of:

- Faked moon landing

- Beaten to space by russia (sputnik)

- Beaten in 'Nam

- Having a president who is a terrorist (George Bush)

- Melting Pot, no respect for other cultures

- Crime (would you open your wallet in New York City?)

- Pollution

- Coca Cola (the best thing to come out of America)

- The Ramones (best band out of America)

- No free health care

- Hated by most countries

 -50 respect points for believing that ridiculous crap.  Half of the stuff you listed could be turned around.  The US won WWI and WWII, so pick your war.  Crime is more of a local thing, and in some places (like where I live) is almost nonexistant.  Some people could view a lack of free health care as a good thing, pointing to the fact that competition creates better conditions for consumers (I honestly don't care about the issue much).  Pollution is also dependent on the local area, and overall the US now has some relatively tight pollution laws compared to other large countries.
