America Is The Greatest Nation : From A British We Surrender

[PainKiller]

???????????????????

And????????????

How about sticking with the topic here. So America has race issues, which country doesn't?

The point of the thread is how great America is and it's the accomplishments that the U.S has made that has made it great.

There have been countries that have never had slavery to the extreme as what America has seen.

There are countries that do not go around getting into other peoples wars.

There are countries where there isn't such a gulf between the rich and poor. You have wealthy areas with super rich, and ghetto where 1 or 2 die a day.

America is not that great. It's in huge debt, has top 10 worse things in the world such as homicide etc... but it does hav great and bad things about it.

I don't see any country as being great.

I think you need to really travel the word and see other countries that have really good systems for education, respect and general living standards. If you have only been to the US and Mexico, then I can see why you say the US is great.

I have travelled a lot, much more than the U.S and Mexico.

Again, you missed the point. Are there countries like let's say Finland or Norway that have higher standards of living? Of course.....that's not my point or the point of the TS.

When you talk about achievements in almost every aspect of the world, there has never been a country like the U.S.

Just look at the list of inventions in the 20th century alone and you will see it dominated by Americans. Not because Americans are any more smart than the rest of the world but because it's the environment in which makes them competitive enough to do those things.

Is there flaws in Democracy and Capitalism, yes, there's no perfect system....NONE. Because it's not the system that is flawed it's the people running it.

I agree that scholarships etc... are great and encourage all smart people from all backgrounds to achieve success.

There have been countries that ruled most of the world, the US is doing pretty good, but at the cost of itself, because the money is making it in huge debt, however, it has invented many things I suppose.

Sorry but America has it's race issues. Among other problems.

There are other countries that are better to live in than the UK and US.

In the short time that America has been a nation, no other civilization or country in the world has done what America has done........ever.

I think that was the point of the thread starter.

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

Yes, America is SOOO great that we rather ban ethnic studies from schools and remove P.E classes to 'save money' .

That's not America, that's the backward thinking rednecks that want to "Take America Back"....

Back to the dark ages I think......

[Cuauhtémoc1520]

and you call me crazy for saying that the US is falling apart .

I'm just a glass half full person, you already threw your water out...hahaha.
