when they want to stay within their borders - isolationism, there is no problem... when they behave like "listen to daddy and behave" that is another story. No one likes to be told like a child...

Do you mean the fact that Henry Ford was virulently anti-labor, or perhaps the fact that he was virulently anti-semitic?
On the other hand, maybe it’s balanced out somewhat nowadays, with Bill Ford, the current Chairman and CEO of Ford Motor Company, known as a committed environmentalist.
And then there's Wal-Mart...

Of course, this is supposed to be the "Good things about America" thread... 
I enjoyed spending few weeks in San Francisco and Boston...
(but I felt lost and lonely very quickly - especially in streets that have no name... I think an American may feel claustrophobia in Europe, what I feel by you is exactly the opposite if you get what I mean)...

Boston is known for not labeling it's streets. I've lived there off and on for four years and I still get lost occasionally.
Now, if you went to Philly, you wouldn't get lost.

Fuck the US it's one thing that the Midatlantic states have that no one else does
The first wawa that opened 30-40 years ago is my local wawa
they sold things at 1960s prices one day
that was fucking ace
The world needs more Wawas. The convenience stores in Boston - lamely named Store 24 - don't make hoagies at all, don't sell pretzels or Tasty Kakes, have crappy coffee, and don't carry anything remotely like Canada Dry pineapple, black cherry whisniak, and cream sodas.
But then again, even the corner stores in Philly sell hoagies.
Were you born in South Philly? A friend of mine insists that Wawas originated in South Jersey. I tell her they're from Philly.
I was born in South Philly but the first wawa is in Delco in Folcroft

IHOPs are very rare in this area of the county, so I'll have to take your word for it.
Starbucks is nice, but of no help at 4 AM!
