It's something people get passionate about, but let's all try to listen and be respectful of individual views and opinions.
What say you?

I think to say it is the greatest country in the world is pretty xenophobic and arrogant. I can't say it myself.
However, I love America.
It is where I live.
I would not choose to live elsewhere because it is what I know.
America has had plenty of human rights abuses in her history and they continue today. Who could state that it isn't true? Not I.
I would be a fool to say America is without fault.
