Why is it that you get so upset about the dialogue on the 4th. I don't get it. It's a JOKE. I mean, it's not like America is really is the greatest nation in the world. It would be hypocritical to even say that.

Homer said that Sweden is the greatest nation in the world. Then Lisa said that it isn't. I'm half-Swedish and I am not crying around like a little baby.

The sad truth is the majority of Americans really do believe we are the greatest nation on earth and our problems are minor. When in actuality we are (as a nation) pompous, self righteous, children who get mad when other people have more toys than we do. We commit war crimes on a daily basis in the name of "freedom" and we alienate our own citizens to no end.

Now...watch how much hate I get for that last paragraph.

    not from me; from me you get a +1. Everybody loves their nation. But nations thinking they are the greatest in the world are the reasons for war...

    You're definitely not going to get hate from me on this. It's very unfortunate that this has to be true, but we apparently can't change the fact that the US is really starting to burst at its seems. The world as a whole is going thru a lot of change for better or for worse, and America is definitely not immune to this.

    We are much better off then a lot of countries so people who scream the US is a terrible place are just in panic mode, or just hate the US, but with that said we are dropping. I only hope we don't crash and burn like so many other countries in the world have in the recent years.

    SOOOOOOOOO many people know NOTHING about the Country they live in but defend it on a daily basis. There's a difference between loving where you live and being a donkey. Do I love my Country? YES. Do I hate others? NO. Do I feel it's the greatest? NO. What is the greatest? Wherever you are happy living is the greatest to YOU.

    I still love the USA. Yes, we have our faults and we have our problems but, IMO, we're still one of the best countries in the world. I'm proud to be an American where at least I know I'm free.

    I take it as jokes. If you can't laugh at yourself,what is the point of life?

    The facts is the writers of the game are socialists,it does not bother me. To be honest I scroll through so fast,I read nothing they write.

    But in homers words......USA!USA!USA!

    When another country flies their flag on the moon,I may consider them better than us. Until then.....try and stop us! :mrgreen:

    The only turds who keep bellowing how the US is the greatest country on earth are most of the GOP representatives and their mouthbreathing, knuckledragging, sheeplike followers. Ya know, the low info voters who watch FOX and like to dress up in try-corner hats with tea bags hanging from them.

    The rest of the country is ashamed at how we have lost our way. Even more so after 9/11.

    Why do I get so upset? WHY DO I GET SO UPSET?!?!?!

    I don't. Easy as that. :)

    Seriously, if you love the Simpsons, you know who they are and what they do. And that's part of what they do. Don't like it, skip by it and enjoy the rest of it.

    What exactly is it in your mind that makes us one of the best countries?

    I may not be an American, but to me the logic is "The moment you stop believing it, is the moment you stop being it."

    So there ya go Americans.

    This is just a game, I spend a lot of time on this game and I enjoy it. So I spend some money on it to make it more fun for me.

    I don't take it personally that the game creators seem to hate America and want to apologize for us...some of our elected leaders want to do the same

    That being said, I love my country because I think it's the greatest on Earth. The lowest citizen can own property, have the right to dissent against politics, and we all have the same opportunity to succeed...until recently we believed our citizens are sovereign and masters of their own destiny. Recently 100's thousands people from other countries agreed with me and decided to crash our borders...so they must agree the USA is better than their country

    The people who make this game hate America so much they repeatedly have a celebratory Fourth of July update with American symbols like the Flag, Liberty Bell, Statue of Liberty, George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and fireworks.

    Yeah, they sure do hate America. I think they hate Jesus too, which is why they have a Christmas event every year.

    They hate the second amendment too, that's why they have so many characters have visible tasks that involve firing off guns.

    Why they hate those things so much, it's almost as if they didn't hate any of those things at all.

    the US was the best nation a long time ago


    the only thing keeping it that way if foreign dependency
    wich means
    if the US runs out of money or stops buying * from every place else
    then the world will collapse
    I mean if asia stops maken most of the * we buy, it would dent the world for a few years
    and I hope this happens because the US could start maken * again and become the best again
    until then just remember the US is the best
