Troll post. I'm an American. Been through 42 states including Alaska and Hawaii and most of Europe, southeast Asia, Canada and Mexico. My apologies to those from other countries that the OP was trying to offend. Trust me, we are all not like that.

Yes I agree, but it does get annoying when regular people state their opinion and they get lots of mad posters commenting!

True. Most people in the US just don't know any better. And like the saying goes "perception is reality", so they're actually convinced there really isn't anything worthwhile out there in the rest of the world. The OP's world-view is so limited that he actually believed that such a flat land like South Florida was more varied then the whole Greater Antilles. That's insane to think, when even Cuba alone is probably more varied and interesting then the entirety of the south-eastern US, and Cuba is not even the most geographically diverse country in the Caribbean.

There's a 10,000+ foot tall mountain peak in the DR for instance. He will never find anything like this in the entire southern US, forget Florida. Hell, there's nothing like that in the whole eastern region of the US.

It isn't a troll post! I genuinely do believe that America's vast diversity of landscapes does indeed make it the most beautiful country on earth. I was wondering how many others might agree with me. It appears it is quite a few.

Bro don't worry your not a troll. Your entitled to your own opinion, if you think Siberia is the most beautiful place in the world then go for it, I just don't understand why thinking America is the most beautiful place is causing such a stir?

No, saying that a glorified swamp like South Florida has more variation than the Caribbean is extremely ignorant, saying that most people in the US don't know any better is entirely true. You guys really need to stop misusing and overusing that word, it makes you look "ignorant".

Prove it, if you cant you will really look like a fool I understand americans do not travel a lot and can be ignorant at times but saying most people are like that without any facts to back you up is silly.

We, from all over the planet and some of your closest neighbours right next door know this and factor that into our responses, or lack thereof.

If those of us posting on an open forum were ever to be considered as the de-facto representative sampling of our individual countries population, I'd humbly submit the world is doomed.

Don't take anything on here to heart and allow it simply to pass the same as you would this mornings breakfast burrito.

Now if I could just live by those words.............
