Don't leave out the Midwest home of Chicago aka Caprica City.

Chicago is a shining beacon of beauty, tolerance, improvement, and near total corruption. It is *the* ivory tower to which I will confine myself, should the nutbag "conservatives" resume power. And if they do, you might as well nuke us dear Europeans.

Hope you have plenty of mace

Living in the city (downtown) is not bad by any means. The worse areas for crime are the west side suburbs and south side. Everyone knows this.

What the hell is with all these Misguided Americans who thought they won WW1? Seriously read the history books it was the British blockade which broke imperial Germany by literally starving them out. And WW2 Dont get me started, Americans think they were the only ones fighting the Japanese, the British had fleets in the pacfic we were fighting campaigns to defend our colonial assets, Hell no American knew the terror of being attacked on home terriatory on a daily basis (Pearl harbour does not compare to the continual Air raids over britain) Russia paid in blood their contribution to defeating Germany with the highest casualties of any country involved, they were the ones who captured Berlin, And no sooner did you realise them as a threat you turned potential allies into enemies by alienating them. You speak of preventing the world from descending into chaos? its all perspective, sitting here in Britain i fail to see how invading Iraq benefitted anyone, secondly its none of your business to enforce your view of democracy on the world, if the people of countries do not rise up to remove dictators themselves then they do not deserve freedom. And lets be blunt, when Britain was all Empiring the **** out of the rest of the world, we atleast had the decency to lie and say we were civilising the locals, all you do is invade random nations for no reason, **** on UN mandates and drag your allies into stupid proxy wars over resources which actually increase the cost of oil instead of reducing it.

TL;DR: the USA will one day start WW3 with its insatiable thirst of other peoples resources and enforcing its views on the world, i for one hope this ends in utter humiliation for this Imperialistic and hegemonic 'Superpower'

Xenophobic and ignorant, I can't wait until you are educated, somehow. Too much rubbish here to even attempt fixing.

---

Point of view, you say i am Xenophonic and Ignorant, i believe theses Freedom spouting, "liberating" the world, and Raping the third world isn't exploitation types to be some of the most arrogant, and disrespectful people in the world, so my challenge to you? embody the freedom of speech you preach to be exporting to the oppressed around the world and cut the name calling to those who disagree, because by continuing to do so you just prove your imperialistic arrogance.

*Colonial America - Question for those you in the states. I wanted to differentiate between the young country that has grown up since colonization and the old America which existed before Europeans landed. What is the correct term I should have used?

There was no old America before euros landed. There was just two huge land masses with thousands of tiny tribes of "indigenous" people who couldn't even bother inventing the wheel.

The continent North America is covered by three nations. Canada, United States of America, and Mexico. The name America refers to the middle nation, North America refers to the continent as a whole.

And I live in Canada which makes Canada a lot more awesome.
