I don't think our country is second rate. (Also, it helps if you could actually use proper sentence structure and grammar, but I won't nitpick).
The U.S. doesn't give us jack shit for scraps. Rather, they send us tons of mega corporations, buy out our hockey teams and athletes, and attempt a hostile corporate takeover of the rest of the civilized world. They're essentially Microsoft under a different name.
Plus, we contribute lots of other stuff besides alcoholism. We contribute... hockey... and uh... booze... and uh... curling. Yep. Curling.
One other thing, and this has been bugging me for a long time...
Explain to me why the hell Americans need the little glowing trail to follow the puck in hockey? Why can't they follow a black puck on a white ice surface, but have NO PROBLEM following a fast moving white ball (small, for golf; medium-sized, for baseball) moving along a green/brown (grass or dirt) surface? I mean, come on!
*cough* Well, I seem to have made a typo in my first sentence (I blame it on the long workday), and I also didn't notice that we needed to throw HTML linebreaks in *snicker*.

And then people whonder why the heck people hate the United States? It's because of people like this, who don't give a damn about anyone else. I know lots of people from the U.S. that I get along fine with, but people like this who act like inconsiderate fools and seem to go out of their way to incur the wrath of others are probably the biggest factor in the horrible stereotype given to the 'States.

"So, where's the bar?" = Canadian (That's what I'd ask).
"So, where can I put my guns?" = American (Okay, now I'm just being stereotypical ;) Take it in fun, people, and don't get all postal about it.)
Drone, drone, drone.
