I like "O beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties. Above the fruited plain!" better. I'd stand and sing this one. Besides - its shorter and I can get back to my hot dog sooner:

Thirdly we now have to stand for it? Went to the game last night and just sat down when they trott the little poop factories out on the field to sing it and the anthem. So everyone stands for God Bless America. Everyone but me. Oh man did the guy next to me read me the riot act. I almost didn't stand for the anthem just to piss him off, but decided that the fine patriot next to me probably had a gun and would shoot me.
So why do we have to stand for God Bless America again?
Did they sing it before the Anthem? Usually it's in the 7th.

Offended would be a really strong word, more like annoyed. I wouldn't have cared at all if the guy next to me didn't think he needed to tell me what an American hating commie I was for not standing for a song that isn't our National Anthem.
I made a thread here because I was bored, while sitting an waiting for someone to get out of the doctor. Plus I already got a laugh from some of the comments so the result was kind of what I was looking for.

And, the country in general. Not the Country, America, but the countryside. Maybe other nations have a mixture of the three, but I can't think of a more diverse, beautiful and better geographical layout than America. That's not even mentioning the deserts or the lakes.
China. But that's about it.
India has a ton of different biomes, including mountains, deserts, plains, savannah, mangrove swamps, tropical rainforest, etc.

Bigger mountains, more native cultural identity/diversity.
I was talking more about diversity in landscape, and I'm not really sure what native cultural identity/diversity is. And, having never been there, it's tough for me to say one way or another. Though....it sure seems like that (cultural identity) would be true because China has been there a long time.
