Flame baiting is a far more subtle and covert action; it is an underhanded tactic that is designed to provoke a response from another player. It's in the same context of trolling but with flamebaiting it's just the one person.


So, no, you are wrong.

I believe it may come to that point. Sadly. This could of worked out to be a comedic or serious philosophical debate on 'best' and national ratings. Perhaps one day in the future threads like these may roam the wild web. Untouched by the morally decayed members of society. :(
Just a average person! Is that too straight forward?

Wasn't threatening to use them as a weapon. I was just saying I'm thinking of asking them to shut this thread down.

The second request was in no way connected to the first statement. The first statement was just me thinking out loud.

Sorry for the confusion. :)

That depends on the subject.İn terms of military technology, i think the US is the best nation on the world (i am not in the US by the way).Which other nation has working railguns aboard some of their ships and dont forget the laser they use to shoot down missiles (it was mounted on an aircraft's nose as i can recall).

Along with spending more than all of the next ten nations combined, I don't think anyone can really argue that the US isn't best militarily.

Best country to live in?

Postby FutureAmerica » Thu Jul 17, 2014 12:54 pm

If the question is the best country to live in, then the answer is a huge no!
I am an American that has traveled the world.
These countries are much better to live in. No particular order.

Australia
New Zealand
Netherlands
Canada
Belgium
Germany
Switzerland
Denmark


The average middle income person in the United States lives with a lower standard of living now than these countries.

It's based on whether the person has prior history. Also... do NOT use the mod "warn" tag.

A few reasons of the top of my head and in no particular order:

Timeline of America

Won a War of Independence (And have kept it for over 200 years)

Fought Imperial Britian again. Won again.

Had only one Civil War in its history. And won that.

Saved Phillipines & Cuba from Imperial Spain

Saved Britian, Saved Surrendered-Italy from Germany, Saved The Low-Lands from Germany, Saved France twice from the Germans (We now see this was a mistake )

Beat up Bad Germany, nursed it back to health, and declared it Good Germany

Saved the Jews and gave them a home in ancestral lands. (Continues to support to this day)

Saved the Good Western Germany from the Russki's. Provided Western Germany with the ability to be democratic.

Saved Good Korea, from Bad Commie Korea. (Continues to do so to this day)

Blew up Evil Japan, flexing American nuclear muscles

Fixed Japan, and declared it Good.

Stared down Commie Cuba & Red Russki's during '63. Prevented Nuclear Conflict.

Supported Good South 'Nam, against Bad Commie 'Nam. (Lost conflict due to American Youth pussifcation inability to apperciate a neccesary war)

Land on Moon. Proceed to play golf on the Moon. Took pictures, collected Moon rocks. Came back from Space Vacation.

Did not freak out and did not obiliterate Iran when they took American hostages. Instead, acted like an adult, and called the CIA.

Soviet Union Russki on edge of collapse thanks to America, leading to Regular Russki-nation of today (Not much difference really)

Spawned the likes of Steve Jobs, Jay Leno, 2Chains, Ronald Reagan, Johnny Cash, John Wayne & Bill Gates, providing the world with a door to the future.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
And what does this teach us? America is capable of mistakes. And we make a lot. But we also do a damn lot of good. And when it comes to a Good and Bad scale, America has evened it out to be on top of the nation pile. Thats why, we are the best.
