Sunny said it was an idiotic thing to say that we're one of the world's best countries. Are you kidding me? We are. If you want me to prove it, i can easily.

im american but i want to c u prove it.

and i concur

First of all, do you guys in other countries know most of your technology comes from us ?

this is going to be a good debate....*sets debate trap*

it depends on what you are judging a country on, but US is one of the best countries in a lot of things

If it weren't for the U.S. and Korea/Japan, computers wouldn't exist.

Not to mention, WWI might still be happening if there was no U.S.

Hitler might still be in power.

There would be no Soviet Russia jokes.

And many more.

I don't care what this starts, but I'll put it on the line right now.

America is the best country in the world.

And if anyone wants to take me on about that fact, I'll be happy to argue. BRING IT ON AUSSIES.

My opinion is that America is not the best country in the world, nor is it one of the best. I'll tell you why right now...

1. Fuck you. If it wasn't for Americans not supporting Russia in WWII and leaving them to be obliterated by Nazi Germany, there would be not as much controversy over the Cold War and Communism as there has been and is now. Russia was the country who suffered most in WWII, and maybe if the fucking Americans supported them, there wouldn't be as much hate as there was between them.
   
2. Hitler would not be in power, as it wasn't only the Americans who defeated him in Europe. Also, many of his country men would have turned on him after the defeat of Nazi Germany in WWII. Also, Hitler committed suicide, as he knew the end was near, nobody arrested or killed him but himself.
   
3. Just because America was the country who defeated Japan doesn't mean the war wouldn't have ended if it was another country.
   

And just because America is the richest and most powerful country in the world doesn't mean shit :

• Our country is in an economic difficulty at the moment, with China's economy doing better. America had to borrow money from China, that's how bad this economy is now.
  
• America is one of the most prejudiced countries out there, whether it is the land of freedom or not. Does slavery ring a bell ? ( Note that I am not saying that no other countries have had slavery, just using it as an example.. )
  
• America is the fattest country in the world, as well as having one of the worst education systems, compared to European and Asian countries such as Japan, Russia, China, etc.
  

I am in no mood to argue, but these points prove one thing, that America is not the best country in the world. The only people who have this mentality are ones in the US or in poor countries looking for a "better life" here.

There is no best country in the world, it is all a matter of opinion and where you are from.

1. The only reason we have a terrible economy is because Bush didn't handle everything well. Also, it's because of all the fucking immigrants. Do you know why immigrants come to our country? Because of freedom, job oppurtunities, and because we're just generally one of the best countries. If not, what reason would so many immigrants come here for?

2. Yes, americans are prejudiced. But that's ameriCANS. Not ameriCA.

3. All countries have fat people, stfu.

4. ONE OF THE WORST EDUCATION SYSTEMS ?! HAHAHA. Maybe compared to China and Japan. But in general, it's very good.

5. Yeah. Japan and China are better than us. MAYBE. But, that doesn't mean we're not ONE of the best. I'm not saying we ARE the best. Tell me ten countries better than America.

I take back my best int he world, but I will fight that we are top 3 to the end.

Bush didn't even win the majority of the votes.

True, it was I think up to Florida to decide if he won, or something ?

Whatever, but he did win most of the votes in one of his terms. Or did he..?

One of his terms. He served one term. You don't know what you're talking about do you ?

Bush served 2 terms, buddy...

Look to the info on the right.

I believe you don't know what you're talking about

I thought they were father and son, lol. My bad.

They are father and son, hahaha

Bush isn't the cause of all our problems. You guys always forget about good ol' Slick Willy, aka Bill Clinton.

If it was'nt for Canada, you silly fat-ass Americans would have nothing to laugh at!
