  I'll respond after I have clicked all those links. So see you in 5 years
  
  But yes America has some nice bits (most places do to be fair). America gas the advantage if being big and diverse though of course

  I'll take your word for it Miss Yankee.It's certainly has something for everybody.
  Never been myself.Maybe one day,when I renew my passport.
  I don't fancy the usual Florida touristy bits,NY,LA etc.I'd like to go and see the real Americana,using the back roads and meeting the real Americans.:cool:

  I gather you are an American and a patriot?
  
  Nothing unusual there.

  Think if you want a country that's beautiful all over, from top to bottom, you're stuck with Andorra or Liechtenstein. Or Norway or Sweden. Maybe Luxembourg? If any of the latter three have ugly bits can someone post a picture here?
  
  Oh, and I believe Canada's not bad .

  It may not have the extremes, but within a concentrated area, Great Britain has the most beautiful scenery in the entire world.

  I recently saw the first series of The Trip (Rob Brydon & Steve Coogan) and when they were overlooking Lake Windermere, it literally took my breath away.
  
  
  
  Oddly, the OP seems to only include cities as proof of the USA's beauty.

  They all seem to follow a similar theme... lots of big tall buildings.
  
  Is this like Man Vs Food, where a fat annoying guy tries to convince the rest of the world that 500 pounds of meat covered with 'American cheese' and a ton of hot sauce is the best meal ever?

  The thread was titled "Why did God make America so great", then they post a ton of pictures of man made buildings?

  Heh good point. And their 'icons' aren't very famous... its all very disappointing. Come back with some proper icons and landscape pics, OP

  Actually the French had more to do with it.
  
  Financed the colonial rebellion. Then blockaded Yorktown in the decisive battle. Then a couple decades later Napoleon was skint so he sold them the interior of the continent ensuring them an unstoppable path to Pacific. The French have no right to whinge about American hegemony and cultural encroachment.

  I wouldn't consider lights and soulless buildings beautiful.
  
  A lot of my ancestors emigrated to Philadelphia back in the day.
