Pros
-One of the best economies (second to the euro) -Best military -Creator of most modern day inventions -Quality of life -Unrivaled leader in science, medical research, and high technology -Strongest collection of colleges in the world. -Diverse population. -Diverse landscape & climates. -One of the greatest places on Earth to freely practice religion. -The quality of our health care is ridiculously superb. -The ability to be anything you want to be. -People here are relatively not afraid to take risks in life. -Our contributions in literature, film, and art are quite amazing. -Most of the world's most popular and influential musical genres of the past 150 years started and flourished in the US. -The strong ability of American creations to influence the way people think and live all over the world. -Affordable cost of living in most of the country. -Best national park system in the world. -Great freedom of speech.
Cons
-High costs of college. -Poor health care coverage in comparison to our peers. -Over-funded military. -Under-funded public schools. -Lack of fresh, healthful foods in many areas. -Awful welfare system that provides more to the ultra rich than the ultra poor. -Extremely high income inequality. -High incarceration rates/a for-profit prison system that encourages repeat offenses. -Dead urban cores in too many cities. -Extreme corruption among politicians and the corporations that "own" them. -Too many Americans are at an unhealthy weight. -Too much political correctness in media. -People seem to get offended by anything and everything. -Too much paranoia in regards to safety. -Unlike the rest of the world, we don't use the metric system. -The War on Drugs. Such a huge failure that has made the whole situation so much worse. -The past few of our wars in general. -We have a bad voter turn outs in elections. -he electoral college. A vote in Wyoming is worth almost 4 times as much as a vote in California, Texas, or New York. Such a stupid system that creates more problems than it solves.

"-he electoral college. A vote in Wyoming is worth almost 4 times as much as a vote in California, Texas, or New York. Such a stupid system that creates more problems than it solves."
Back then, it was only 1 vote per state. So a highly populated state, like New York, would have the same votes as Rhode Island. |

"One of the best economies (second to the euro)" It's the best economy.
"Best military" It's the strongest military in terms of technology but it's debatable whether it's the best considering the strategy is pretty bad.
"Creator of most modern day inventions" No, the creators of most modern day inventions are America, EU countries, Japan, South Korea and Australia.
"Unrivaled leader in science, medical research, and high technology" Rivalled by the EU and Japan.
"Diverse population." No, only some states are diverse.
"One of the greatest places on Earth to freely practice religion." No way, that's definably Western Europe (Britain and France), America has openly Islamophobic and anti-Semetic news channels.
"The quality of our health care is ridiculously superb." Not free, so this doesn't count.
"The ability to be anything you want to be." Except you know, a Muslim, a Jew, LGBT and a bunch of things which people shout at you for.
"Our contributions in literature, film, and art are quite amazing." Sadly it's quantity not quality, I mean Hollywood is a load of garbage and the literature is mediocre, I'm not saying Britain has better literature... but Britain has better literature. (Literary culture.)
"The strong ability of American creations to influence the way people think and live all over the world." And you know, Europe, Japan, South Korea, Australia exc.
"Affordable cost of living in most of the country." Doubt it.
"Great freedom of speech." Europe.

@paperm8 it is a bad thing because it is just so irritating to convert between km&miles, mph&km/h, inches&cm, yards&m, feet&dm every single time you want to know how big something is or how fast it is
