To the Americans:
I've travelled all over the world. I've familiarized myself with many places, and met many people. And I'm a Canadian, although I’m privileged to reside once again in the States.
And here's something I've noticed, and it’s a key element of America's continuing greatness:
You bloody Americans value success, and you believe in its existence.
This is something that doesn't really happen anywhere else in the world. Even in other free democracies—the United Kingdom; Finland, Sweden, and Norway; Australia, New Zealand and Canada; Germany, France, and the Netherlands (great countries all)—a counterproductive cynicism too often reigns.
Success is equated with exploitation.
Ambition is looked upon with contempt.
This happens sometimes in the United States too—particularly among the miserable progressives, who confuse their resentment, ingratitude and unearned skepticism with wisdom.
But in your great country, by and large, striving is admired and success celebrated.
This means that more people strive and succeed in the US than anywhere else. And it's increasingly obvious. You remain stunningly more innovative and productive than any people anywhere else on the planet.
And so I say, as all should who are fortunate enough to live in the western world, let alone America:
Thank God for the United States.
Thank God for the wisdom of its founders.
Thank God for its faith in the free market and in the natural rights of man.
Happy birthday, you damn Yankees and Southerners.
Long may your admirable country dominate the world.
Long may your freedom and hope provide an example to those suffering everywhere at the hands of their malevolent states.
May your two and a half centuries of unparallelled success be just the beginning.
Your country is the light of the world, and the city on the hill.
Thank God for the USA.
Happy 250th.

Half the battle in life is believing the future looks bright, especially when nothing around you suggests it will.
The easiest thing to do is blame others, assume bad intent, and expect the worst.
Those who believe the future looks bright tend to create it.
“You’re going to die eventually so being rich and successful doesn’t matter” is the dumbest cope I’ve ever heard.
Don’t enjoy it to the fullest because one day it will end?
Watch a movie and just keep your eyes shut. Don’t bother trying to enjoy it, it ends in 90 minutes.
I can’t stand men who walk slow.
Walk faster.
I can’t stand men who suffer from hangovers.
Ignore it.
Both are a sign of weakness.
Victims. Prey.
When a predator spots your group, the movements of a single weakling serve as inspiration.
I roll with KILLERS. ONLY.
