Why America Kicks Ass

[semper]

lol..i dont think you can ever say what country is the best in the world. As far as im concerned there is no comparison to be had I mean America is strong now, may be different in a few hundred years. But look at it like this she has never had, and I seriously doubt, will ever have what the UK had.

I mean you can boast the greatest wealth per person, but you can also boast the greatest debt. (10.4trill) You can also boast, that of the greatest nations on the planet..your currency certain dont stand up against the £ or the euro.

It all down to where your from, and how you look at it. I live in UK, and as far as im concerned there is no greater country out there, but americans will feel different.

I may stop on a small detail but "America" isn't only the U.S, America is the whole thing North/South & Central America together, The U.S is the U.S, part of America, and well, Americans being anyone living in any of the three zones named earlier while describing what America is, U.S Citizens are merely "U.S.ians" (couldn't find a word that would sound better).

By definition, of course.

Well U.S citizens are American when you would speak of the continent as a whole, but they wouldn't be if you only talk about the U.S .. They'd be .. Well, U.S Citizens.

I don't know if you catch my drift ..

since we're talking about this... theres one thing that exist in all of europe, but doesn't exist in the u.s: nationality. there are u.s. citizens, not u.s. nationals.

I'm not sure to understand that ..
But if you'd start me on nationality, I'd start with "Nationalities are nothing, but something that eventually starts wars and conflicts".

Well religion to a certain limit is useful, but nationalities aren't.

Bwah even Citizenships.. Who can say any part of the Earth is their own anyway, it's not a private property .. we're merely borrowing some space for some time =S

We borrow it from .. well .. as silly as it might sound noone, because it's noone's property, the whole point is it's not "ours" as a property so citizenships, borders and nationalities are quite futile =P

Because man thinks he can just take things and call them it's own.

technically the middle east is the richest country in the world. They own most of the worlds supply of oil

Oil = EVERYTHINg

when the oil becomes TO EXPENSIVE to buy, the world is screwed. This means no car, food, computers, NOTHING. WEveryting needs oil. Oil to transport to make products. So right now america is the most screwed country in the world considering they consuime 20 mil barraels each day.

Compared to other coutrys, america is the most dependent.
