so, all beef in american hamburgers is reared in the US?


all american beef is....

lol what about the $3 billion in imported canadian beef each year? razz

hmmm seems everything one could say could be second guessed by another.
so I'm going to go with

medical isotopes. we make about half of the world's supply at one plant



linked to that... we produce 1/3 of all uranium in the world
and are the only source of high grade deposits.



it could also be argued that we produce the most high quality durum
(used to make high quality pasta and couscous) in the world but our
neighbor to the south does okay... we just produce more razz

Maintaining its exceptionalism through the employment of its three core values: In God we trust, E pluribus unum and Liberty.

We do not kid ourselves by employing the value of equality. We are born equal but may not end up equal. It is up to the individual to determine their path but we do maintain that we have the freedom to pursue happiness, that we accept diversity while embracing Americanism through assimilation and that our motivation is guided by a higher power.
America's political system used to be about the "pursuit of happiness." Now more and more of us want to stop chasing it and have it delivered.

The Hellenic Republic....

* Because we are European Champions in football
* Because we buy whole watermelons and not in slices
* Because we buy whole lambs and not in pieces
* Because nights in Greece finish in the morning
* Because we take our coffee slowly, while smoking and not in 'shots'
* Because flirting is our national hobby
* Because sex is our national sport
* Because we always moan about the public sector and everyone seeks to get a job in it
* Because we are not puritans
* Because we are not racists
* Because we go out almost every night even if we are penniless
* Because we know how to spend better that we know how to save
* Because we never visit others empty handed
* Because there is no way to explain to foreigners what is 'kapsoura' (burning desire for someone)
* Because in Greece family is still something valuable

* Because we always make it, albeit in the last moment
* Because for the sake of a woman we made war for 10 years (Trojan war)
* Because we are everywhere around the planet
* Because we love and hate with passion
* Because 'filotimo' (friend of honor, helping someone because it is a shame not to) doesn't exist in any other language
* Because whenever foreigners cannot find a word, they use one of ours
* Because we spend our bad and low times with our friends and family, not with shrinks
* Because Socrates, Pluto and Aristotle were Greek
* Because we invented theatre
* Because we gave birth to Democracy
* Because we discovered logic
* Because we jump started science
* Because we are proud of our culture, not of our wars

* Because when we were building the Parthenon, the others were still sleeping on trees
* Because we gave the light to all these leaders who are 'striving' for peace by making wars
* Because we can give anything up just to make love
* Because thousands of women travel to Greece every summer just to get laid
* Because we have a distinction between Eros (falling in love) & Agapi (innocent love), while we feel both passionately
* Because Eros was a Greek God
* Because when others used to be clothed with wolf skin, we're weaving see-through linen
* Because 'Greeks do not fight as heroes, heroes fight like Greeks' (Winston Churchill, 1941)

* Because we gave our ancient alphabet to the Romans and our Medieval alphabet to the Slavs
* Because we get angry quickly but we forget all about it even quicker
* Because we are not ashamed to cry
* Because we dance when we are sad
* Because we work to live and we do not live to work
* Because 97% of the stars' names are Greek
* Because although we know danger well, we dare
* Because when you shout 'brother' in the streets everyone turns around
* Because we always talk about getting in a diet after we had our meal
* Because we speak loudly and laugh even louder
* Because we walk in the streets at 2:00 in the morning and there are traffic jams
* Because we walk in the streets at 4:00 in the morning and there are traffic jams
* Because we are direct
* Because we never report people who cheat
* Because we always have a solution to problems, even if usually indirect or illegal
* Because we have tendencies to extremity
* Because our parents do not forget that we exist when we reach 18
* Because when we want to sunbathe, we go to the beach, we don't crawl on grass or jump into fountains
* Because we confront every difficulty with humor
* Because the Olympic games were born here
* Because with our (Olympic) light, we unite the world and pass the message of peace
* Because our sky is blue, not gray
* Because we have the cleanest seas on the planet
* Because 40% of Oxford dictionary is made up with Greek words
* Because we are a poor country with very rich citizens
* Because we know what 'Kefi' (propensity to fun) means
* Because we like to spend money and eat fish while they are still fresh
* Because Homer wrote Iliad 3500 years ago and Hollywood turned it into a movie just recently (Troy)
