This list was compiled by a liberal, no doubt.

1. The Use of Credit Cards - Not unique to the US. In many countries buying from vending machine is now credit card based.
2. Food Portions - Just as large in many countries.
3. Patriotism - Most countries are fiercely loyal, far more than liberals are in the US.
4. High School Sports - Foreign countries often have the same thing.
5. Size of the Country - Some countries like Australia are just as big. Germany is a bit less than the size of Texas. China is bigger than the US and half of Canada combined.
6. Treatment of Pets - Many countries treat their pets as well.
7. Widespread Obesity - Sorry. Again, many foreigners are just as bad.
8. Amount of Waste - No different than other countries.
9. The Coffee Culture - The US ranks about #15 in the list of per capita consumption.
10. Emphasis on Physical Fitness - Again, how can we be fat yet physically fit, too?
11.Tipping - Some countries have mandatory tipping, and most give just as generously. Some do not allow tipping. No is going to tip in Seattle with a $15 minimum wage.
12. Quality of Customer Service - Most of ours IS foreign.
13. Walmart - Granted. Uniquely American, but other countries have just as much retail outlets as Wal-Mart provides, just better products.
14. Size of cars - Um, they have the same cars in most places.
15.Return Policies - Granted, uniquely American.

In regards to 5 Australia is about the same size as the continental US. Alaska of course is the big difference. China however while similar in size is just a bit smaller than the US. Interestingly now that Russia is no longer the USSR while still the largest country in area in the world if you combined Canada and the US it would just edge out Russia in size now. The old USSR would still have been bigger.
