Britain vs the USA which is best?

[Washington Resistance Army]

Yep.

No he was arrested for being anti-Semitic, the police weren't thinking,"oh we were going to release you but you trained your dog so bad luck".

That's still equally retarded.

[Tobiasia]

Um excuse me? When did we get arrested for teaching dogs tricks, or handing in firearms.
And where did you get the ridiculous notion that the government can shut down all the newspapers? If they could they would have during the last scandal.

Ahem.
Teaching dog trick.
Arrested for handing in gun.
Shutting down press.

First link-I have already answered
Second link- Rule of British media, don't trust the daily mail
Third link- Britain has the same level of press freedom, check the link if you want. The accusation that we do not have a free press because it is not in our constitution is ridicolous, BECAUSE BRITAIN HAS AN UNWRITTEN CONSTITUTION. It cannot be in the constitution because there is no constitution.

Ok the Americans can rant for a while now because it is 11 o'clock over here so most of us are going to sleep.

[Freefall11111]

Britain no longer innovates instead they outsource everything, sell everything to foreign companies and fund other countries to do it

Everything you say? I'll go tell all 2.6 million people employed by our manufacturing sector to get new jobs. Sure, we're losing out on about 140 billion pounds per year, but you said these jobs don't exist so they gotta go!

That means we are earning money from nothing?

'The sound of brakes, a broken engine, and a spanner being pulled out of a bag', looks like freedoms gonna have to wait.

...spanner?

who would have thought you lads even have another word for "wrench?" Really, I have never heard that word before in a sentence. Have a good night, all of you guys. You Brits really do brighten my day sometimes.

[Indo-Japanese Separatist Districts]

If the UK still had Top Gear UK... if only...

[The Two Jerseys]

America.

USA! USA! USA!

[Herargon]

Sorry lads- there is no argument, America basicly wouldn't be there if it wasn't for Britain. America isn't acctually a full democracy whilst Britain is and pretty much everything in America is fake and commercialised, in other words its a shithole.

No country has full democracy. Hell, most people don't even know what full/true democracy is.

Bit pedantic, but depending on your definition, some countries actually might be full democracies

That index should be taken with a little grain of salt, naturally. But it is always interesting to look at other's views on the world.

[The first Galactic Republic]

One person is an entire nation state all of the sudden?

If anything Germany loses points because its government policies drove scientists like Einstein to America.

Tons of people say pizza is Italian, even though it was invented in America.

So yes, it apparently does.

Completely unrelated analogy, I still don't understand your thought processes here.

[Risottia]

Thissa means war!

Really? Pizza has existed for around two thousand years and was created, shaped, flavoured and served by the Romans for the poorer men, and still is popular in Italy.

[Omigodtheykilledkenny]

What is jello?

It is the American word for jelly, though who knows why you would put it in a salad. But then who would order sausage and jam?

No, it isn't. It's a jiggly gelatin dessert that tastes vaguely like fruit flavors.

[Lancaster of Wessex]

I think this is an utterly pointless thread.

That is all.

(That being said, both countries are "better" in distinct fields. So what the hell does it matter which one is "better.")

Bad business policies. They still make enjoyable tabletop games.

From a modern standpoint, it's USA all the way. The USA is a global superpower. The USA is the most politically influential nation in the world. For example, the 2015 Paris Summit would have failed without the backing of the US (and China). The USA has the strongest military in the world. The US Navy is a blue water navy and is the best naval force in the world (sorry Britain ). The US Navy also has the most cruiser battle groups. Consequently, the USA has the top two air forces in the world. First, the US Air Force is the largest and most technologically advanced in the world. The second largest air force in the world is the US Naval Air Force, due to the large number of aircraft carriers. The US Army is the most well equipped and advanced army in the world. Additionally, US special forces, like Navy Seals and Army Rangers, are extremely effective. Culturally, the USA brought the world Jazz music, Rock 'n Roll, a large part of Pop, and today produces the most music in the world (I won't comment on the quality ). Scientifically, the USA leads pharmaceutical development and has more medical trials than all of Europe combined. The USA was the first, and still only, nation to land on the Moon. NASA also plans the send humans to Mars by 2030, and to asteroids by 2025. Economically, the US economy is the largest and most durable in the world and has recovered faster from the Great Recession than almost any other nation (Germany stronkest at recovery).

So the USA beats Britain politically, militarily, scientifically, and economically.

[A Czecherboard]

The USA, because in Britain you get a fine for hurting someone's feelings.

Why is this even a thread? It's purely hypothetical, proves nothing in the end past a bit of ego-stroking, and tends to lead to a great deal of inflammatory bullshit on either side of the argument - regardless of who is put to either side of that 'vs'. Do us a favor, and post something worth discussing, rather than something we can simply post to with derision, neh?

Why did I post at all? A sense of duty, good sirs. And moral outrage. Or something of the sort. It's still a silly topic, and probably ought to have been reported some time ago, and locked forthwith, in my never-to-be-humble-but-definitely-not-authority-driven-opinion.

(The above is simply a private opinion made public. The poster makes no claims to authority, real or imagined, nor suggests that anyone reading said post puts any more weight to the posted opinion than any other poster on the site. Prior position of the player is not a factor, nor is it suggested to be a factor for consideration when reading this post. This reminder brought to you by the number 667 - Neighbor of the Beast.

Really? Pizza has existed for around two thousand years and was created, shaped, flavoured and served by the Romans for the poorer men, and still is popular in Italy.

But pizza in it's current form was created by an Italian immigrant in New York.

So technically it's American, but tons of people think it's Italian.

[Grande Republic of Arcadia]

At least Britain has a functioning welfare system and free healthcare.

It is far from functioning it is easily abused and people on welfare can earn much more than people living off minimum wage

same in the US, thanks to the obama administration more are on welfare and now they are trying to deal with it, and the states have taken welfare into their own hands to attempt to fix it because the obama admin aint gonna so shit about it.

and beside the US is better thanks to the 1st nad 2nd amendment
