You can't be serious...

About what?

Fact # 3: the ONLY time America Ever nuked civilians was to Prevent the countless deaths that would have ensued if we had tryed invading Japan.

And in addition to that, we even told Japan we were going to do it and to gtfo out of there asap. They thought were were bluffing. Once it was done, we told them Tokyo was next. If America was bad we would have nuked Tokyo first, but no.

In the end, I challenge you to pick a country that is anywhere near as successful as America is.

Depends what you consider "successful." But regardless of that, the US is the most powerful atm.

I can't tell if people here are serious or just trolling.
If they're trolling then that's fine, whatever.
If people aren't then wtf.

Put a lid on the patriotism. This is why everyone hates the US.

This is what makes America America.... The people love their country, the problem is the people that come from other country's and don't understand why we love America.

Well I don't understand. Why do you love it? Is it the freedom thing? Big whopp. That was impressive back in the 18th century.  The size of the military? Doesn't matter. The Cold War ended. Most countries can disarm their military since they don't have any threats due to good foreign relations.  The high GDP? It's not dispersed that well, really. Some companies and relatively few individuals sit on most of the dough.

Don't get me wrong. I don't hate the US. I am just extremely fascinated by the sociology behind why people elevate something so abstract as "their country" to such heights and feel the need to holler it... Insecurity comes to mind, but maybe it's just a culture thing? When the Americans in the crowd cheered "USA! USA!" in the current FIFA World Cup, were they cheering for their soccer team or their country?

[MattH]

Its kind of hard to explain American patriotism.

reason why people might chant USA! USA! at a soccer game is because its a moral boost for the players.

But honestly I really don't want to get into a deep discussion about this (as it will only end with people trolling and flaming...)

America basically runs everything, we've been the biggest richest superpower for longer than most people have been alive.

[tehsnipah]

Well my country is full of shit -_-

This wierd crap rule says that every shops except shops that sell foods must be closed during Sunday. Probably some religious crap, so anyways, ours is delayed to Monday.

Anyone experiencing same bull shit as I do?

lol get your facts right, norway is the richest then sweden and then maybe denmark?

In the end, I challenge you to pick a country that is anywhere near as successful as America is.

any nordic country (+ finland), germany and UK are way better to live in. might not be as flashy, but everyone can live a quite comfortable life, no matter how shitty your start out position was (well... not always).

the only "power" USA got is an army.


somebody also said "what's bad with people being overweight?".... why is it bad that africans are starving? it's the same thing, but reversed.

[a-4-year-old]

GDP of the US $14,580,000,000,000
GDP of Sweden: $478,960,000,000

Nope.

Nope.

GDP is very bad to use to find out how wealthy a country is.
as in... if you would need to buy every single person a 10 dollar watch, sweden would be way better off than USA.

but just put it like this then... europes GDP is higher than USAs. meaning... EU is richer than USA.

however, norway > sweden in economic aspects, so you should refere to norway.


I heard some numbers that was totally outrageous. like 5% of the people are poor, and like 0.5% are super poor in USA. and like 0.2% are super rich.... that is VERY bad.

Continent > Country, but only just.

When you get a job you will understand the idea of people getting holidays off to be with their families.

retard, america isn't just a country, it's a continent too. you got "states" which is kinda as big as a normal country. just that you want to call your part continent a country doesn't really mean you can count it as one.
as you say you're "european" or "asian", you also say you're "american" even tho america is just an immigrant "country".

Fact # 4: who gives a s**t if America has a weight problem? its not like every other non 3rd world country doesn't have a problem with fat.

Ehm...  Well it would be one thing if the whole 90% of US are fat was true but it's not.  It's like 23%.  The "Fat Americans" stereotype is getting pretty goddamn old and I'm about to seriously get this locked.  -Major- you have NO right to say ANYTHING like that.  You've never been to America, and if you had, you wouldn't ever go back to whatever puny ass fucking country you live in.
#1 American Rock bands such as Metallica and Linkin Park
#2 American R&B and Hip-Hop artists such as Lil' Wayne, Jay-Z, Notorious B.I.G., Drake, and TuPac.
#3 We invented sports such as Football and Basketball, both world-famous.
So either move here and get some evidence to back up your accusations or shut the fuck up.

lol forever if you're serious

[-Major-]

yes indeed. football and basketball isn't really big anywhere except in USA... I guess basketball is somewhat popular, but not really.
most good music comes from europe anyway. HIM, inflames, Rise against etc etc. canada got good music aswell...

and lol, people get fatter and fatter, and more people get fat in america. it's a big problem, it's the reversal of starvation.

The real football is actually the game when you play with your feet most of the time, it's invented by english and it's the most popular sport in the world (correct me if i'm wrong). What you mean is American Football and it is based on rugby, which was also invented by english


not sure if you're so stupid or just trolling, i hope the latter


happy independence day anyway

he's american... that's all... and yes, he ment handegg.
