Best and truest speech ever.
Cake Faice:
Memo.
United States of America.
What else do you call the people who reside here?
Do we not call people who are from Great Britain "British"?

Well un, anyways. I have a lot of respect for this man. It would take a lot for any other person to actually speak something like that. Oh and I agree that this generation of soon to be adults is by far the worst from what I've seen. Most people I've seen in my school are completely unmotivated to do anything, they think they're "hotshit" for doing poorly in school or just don't try, when in reality they are extremely ignorant and foolish, and don't have any plans for themselves in the future. This is not saying everyone is this way, but a majority is. They are also extremely disrespectful, and it really is disturbing seeing some of the things they do to people older than they are. Some of these people don't seem to realize just how fortunate they are to have any of the things they do. It only makes me wonder where our future will go...

This is actually from a TV show if you guys didn't know called The Newsroom. Just making sure.
memo3300:
actually i talked this on my english class today.
Calling someone American is.. well as you guys stated there is no other name.
But i was referring that in the video itself it said "why do you think America is the best country in the world?"
i mean, I do understand people from US being called American.
But not calling the country as a continent.

I still say it's kind of pointless to complain about. I'm not even American and I don't care about people calling the USA "America." I live in north America though. If people were calling Canada or Mexico "America" that would be different but only because the word "America" isn't in our country's name. Obviously, it is in USA's name.
And if you're saying that he literally mistook the whole continent as a country, he didn't as he mentioned Canada and I think Mexico as other free countries as well.
