Is USA the Greatest nation in the World???

[Zaras]

Yeah, it's such a great country when you can't even fucking take care of your own citizens like Canadians or Europeans.

Why would we want to?

Because it's disgusting and immoral to not look after your citizens. You're the most powerful state in the world and you can't give a shit about your own citizens?

[Sovietta]

No. I live in the US and it's not the greatest and it's definately not a democracy.

[Death Metal]

and it's definately not a democracy.

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

Why would we want to? You should take care of yourself.

Incredibly subjective, and taking care of yourself =/= not taking care of others.

Nothing I said was subjective at all. One was a question, which you can feel free to answer, the other is a fact. You should take care of yourself. For some people "taking care of yourself" only extends far enough to mean eating, for others it means the ability to fully support yourself, including purchasing your own healthcare.

Canadians and Europeans are our citizens?

Urgh, are you Hippostania or something?

No, but they give more of a shit about their own than you.

I think it is disgusting and immoral to expect other people to go out of their way to help you. You don't deserve anything IMO. I do not want to help you simply because you grace the world with your presence (which in many cases means doing nothing except mooching off the government). Also, anyone who things the US government could run a full fledged national health care system has obviously never lived in the US.

[Sovietta]

Believe what you want, but it's not a democracy.

They literally give voters no rights. They give the rights to these weird electoral colleges and that is like rigging elections.

No, I simply hate the idea of providing people with something that they should provide themselves.

Change takes time, and again the douchbaggery is rising, unless you are being sarcastic again.

I think it's disgusting and immoral to think like a Randroid.

So, you're a Republican.

If Johnson could run the Great fucking Society, how come healthcare's too much?

Seriously, the Netherlands can actually accomplish feats of engineering that make New Orleans look like a piss-hole. Why can't you?

[Zaras]

No, I simply hate the idea of providing people with something that they should provide themselves.

And I hate the bootstraps-pulling, self-made-person POV. It's based on denying huge chunks of reality.

There's a variety of reasons why the US might want to take care of its citizens, but they're all subjective. Actually, it was very subjective. Whether people should take care of themselves is an opinion. Gahh just look up the words.

[Zaras]

No, but they give more of a shit about their own than you.

You should be more offended by the fact that America sucks more at taking care of its citizens than even Canada than the way I phrased it.

[Arumdaum]

Urgh, are you Hippostania or something?

No, I simply hate the idea of providing people with something that they should provide themselves.

And what if they lack the means to provide themselves with it?

[Communal Ecotopia]

No.

Statistically, Norway should be.

#1 Democracy Index
#1 Human Rights Index
#1 Press Freedom Index, Reporters Without Borders
#1 Human Development Index

etc.

But I don't see Norwegians going around waving their dicks in people's faces about how fucking awesome Norway is. Or Canadians, Swedes...

Precisely another reason they may be the greatest.

[North California]

Canadians and Europeans are our citizens?

No, but they give more of a shit about their own than you.

Back off punk. I never said anything bad. You said that Canadians and Europeans were American citizens. What does that half do with me apparently "not giving a shit" about my fellow countrymen?

[Zaras]

No, I simply hate the idea of providing people with something that they should provide themselves.

And what if they lack the means to provide themselves with it?

Lemme guess: we're gonna get a whiny lecture about how they should pull 'emselves up by their bootstraps and shit, delievered by a guy who doesn't realise just how much he has the government to thank for.

This question irritates me. Many claim it is, others claim it isnt. Does being the lone superpower in the world make you the greatest or does it depend on the life of the inhabitants??? Many claim that the Scandanavian nations are the greatest due to the life of there citizens yet have little military or political strength. China, you could say, has the greatest economy and military in the world yet the citizens live in poor conditions in many cases and under a fairly strict regime. Do you think USA is the greatest nation in the world and if not which is?? Please give educated answers.

The United States is one of the youngest nations in the world. As such, it is very immature. Like many immature people, it boasts and brags and acts like a bully. I do like to think that it is maturing, but it will be a long process. It's just now taking its first bites of humble pie after binging on oil. I'd like to get a look at the United States one thousand years from now. What will it be like? Will it still exist as a Federal Republic? I don't think so.

What is the greatest nation in the world? I'll answer with another question: why is that a valid question?

[Arumdaum]

Because it's disgusting and immoral to not look after your citizens. You're the most powerful state in the world and you can't give a shit about your own citizens?

He was talking about American citizens, obv.

[Zaras]

No, but they give more of a shit about their own than you.

Back off punk. I never said anything bad. You said that Canadians and Europeans were American citizens.

No, dude. I said Canada and Europe take care of their citizens better than America.

I don't think nation age is really relevant.

[The Anglo-Saxon Empire]

Whatever. I for one don't like people benefiting from my work. I don't care if some random guy in California gets healthcare.

So, you're a Republican.

Don't see how that is directly related, but yes.

If Johnson could run the Great fucking Society, how come healthcare's too much?

The Great Society was nothing like a national healthcare system. A national healthcare system is going to end up more like Social Security or the Post office, both of which are terrible programs whether you see them as important or not.

New Orleans is a piss hole, everyone knows that.

Then they obviously deserve their situation because they fucked up somewhere.
