Re: What's your favorite thing about the US?
My favorite thing about the US = ME!
Second favorite thing = Potbelly's ice tea. BEST TEA IN THE WORLD.
Third favorite = Veggie burgers. I'm sure you have some version of veggie burgers in the UK but they can't possibly be any yummier than the ones here.

If I remember right, all the good veggie stuff in the UK was Linda McCartney swag, and she was one of you lot anyway.

You know, on second thoughts...
NO!!!
The USA is a force for good.
It also, like every other country in the world, is very capable of making MONUMENTAL **** UPS.
Why? Because anything involving people is liable to a trip to **** Up City.
A bias is useful if it helps the USA (or any other country, for that matter) come out on top in the 'force for good' side of the equation.
You and the USA doesn't have to like it.
You and the USA doesn't have to do anything about it.
Either way generally you and the USA do have to suffer the consequences, good and bad.
Oh, and the above observations are general.
Take out 'USA' and insert any country's name and it is still valid.
I feel like adding "Now take your thumb out of your butt, stop whining about the USA bias and go and do something useful with your day" - but that's probably uncalled for, so I won't...

I must admit, your presence does make it easier to live here ...
Hmm, my wife's a big fan of ice tea, I should steer her in that direction. Myself, I prefer it hot so I stick with me lovely Tetley British Blend
Never had a veggie burger so I'll take your word for it. I did have a vegetarian pizza once - it was a cream cheese base with watercress and crap on the top. Quite nice, actually.
