Thats some tough shit OP!

Maybe to be a great American does not mean to be a great human. They could have a negative correlation. It's all up to you.

>>2789072
>no decent baits

Also, what does it mean to be an American?

>>2789158
to add a clothing size when you buy euro clothes.

Be careful who you call ugly in middle school, pleb

So how about somebody like Elvis Presley, he served his country in uniform, and encompassses some of your core ideals: rebelliousness, freedom, a flair for grandeur, a portion of arrogance and love for guns. He basically invented the modern pop-culture which trancends every national border, one of Americas' most striking features

to speak english fluently

>>2789290
oh desu sempai I speak English very, very good. I American?

>>2789290
What if the english-speaker lives in Ireland? Or Singapore? Are they American? Is a Canadian also an American?

Your logic is incorrect

>>2789044
George Washington, the father of our country.

Honestly, I think I have to agree with this. He figured out the American dream.

>>2789072
America has a lot of great writers though

Poets: Robert Frost, Wallace Stevens, Walt Whitman, Emily Dickinson, William Carlos Williams, Marianne Moore

Novelists: Herman Melville, Nathaniel Hawthorne, Henry James, Ernest Hemingway

He led the charge. Literally. In one battle he had three horses shot out from under him, and he continued to lead the charge.

Men follow men like that.

Men want to make men like that their King.

>columbus, magelan
>beethoven, mozart, shakespeare, goethe, cervantes
>leibnitz, newton, einstein
>luis XIV, churchill, frederik the great, gustavus adolphus

Are you even trying?

>>2789354
I agree he was a badass. I'm just saying that he wasn't exactly the father.
He is a great hero to look towards.

>>2789072
>no great scientists
We invented modern air conditioning you ungrateful fuck.

The most important part about Washington is the traditions he set.

> limited terms of office
> decentralizing of power from the executive
> peaceful transition of power
> civilian control of the military
> reduced political involvement of the president after the end of term

All these things have served the US fantastically for 250 years, and will continue to do so for the future. It's hard to find other leaders who have set positive precedence that has stood for this long.

>>2789329
>pretending to care about anything else

I may be a monkey but at least I am honest.

The only reason you cannot name our great country's traditional artists is because they are too recent and therefore obscure to your history textbooks.

>a country only 200 years young producing one-tenth the human beings eligible for that list

Shakespeare was just an American before the flag was raised, baby.

>>2789044
Military wise - Eisenhower fought great in WWII and helped the world in the postwwar climate.
Art wise _ Gershwin or Copland are probably the greatest innovators and Gershwin even included innovative social mores in his works.

So you steal Britain's accomplishments as your own?
Sums up North America really.

>taking the bait

There are many American men of distinction, character, promise and genius.

I can't pick only one.

William Jennings Brian was one of many great Orators to exist in the nation. Great philosophical wit was provided by Samuel Clemens. Hosts of men had preceded them, and many more have followed them.

Inventors like Thomas Edison, innovators like Henry Ford, the Wright brothers, Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak. etc.

Many many more.

We really are not I would say a nation one any one of us is held up over the other. Although there will always be those that fully trope the color of American ideals to great acclaim.

>>2795462
Edison was alright but he was also kind of a hack. His greatest invention was working out how to cheat the patent office.

I'm normally very liberal but I do agree that Trump is the greatest American ever.

>>2795507
You completely and entirely misspelled Einstein.

>>2795462
My vote goes to Ford. The man built an empire with his talents and did a uniquely American thing: making a relatively new technology available to the masses and a viable business model.

This triggers the socialist

George Washington

Thomas Jefferson
Carl Schurz
Andrew Carnegie

For what they provided to public life, politics and intellectually.
