You can probably guess what side I'm on but can anyone come up with any good reasons why Americans and inherently better than everyone else?

Because Americans are descended from the best of everybody else, i.e. the ones who were intrepid enough to abandon the stagnation of the old world to seek opportunity in a new one and tough enough to survive the brutal conditions it entailed. Slavery fits in there somehow but that's a whole nother can of worms.
Although once we cracked down on immigration it was only a matter of time before that selective advantage ran out. Probably already has.

More like Americans are descended from the people who couldn't hack it in a more competitive environment, and had to run away.
Well, no, that's not true either, but it's just as plausible as your bullshit.
Every culture has its "exceptionalism myth". This is necessary for survival. The US' is like all others.
Of course we americans are exceptional.
Unless we have to do math!!!
Here in Thailand, the Thai people are brainwashed into thinking they are the best because they have never been colonized. Thailand: Home of the master race.
