I think so. I made this statement during a discussion this weekend and my ultra-liberal friend was breathing fire before I went down the list of atrocities against women condoned by many other cultures. I told her to try being a woman in Iran, India, or any number of Asian countries and see how much she likes it.
It's a little arrogant to have this opinion, but my view is based on the system, not the people. Our system of government, our laws, our branches of government are superior to any other culture in the world. It's the people who get in and screw things up.
If you step back and look at what we offer, it's unmatched: freedom of speech, the press, religion, expression, due process, free lawyers, the right to a jury, the appellate system, the legislative process, checks and balances, anti-discrimination laws, the welfare system, anti-patient dumping laws (meaning if you show up at the ER with an emergency medical condition they have to treat you), protection of incapacitated people, property ownership, the free market, the educational opportunities, professional opportunities, leisure activities, sports, strong defense, solid infrastructure, fire and law enforcement, charitable entities, foreign aid for countries that suffer disasters, and the list goes on.
All of this isn't necessarily "culture," but it's all related IMO.

Yours is a reasonable statement & assessment... from your POV, ...but understand "culture" is much more than bureaucracy in action. It is more than a 'system'. It must also be sustainable. All evidence appears to be that our 'system' is in many ways an illusion and is definitely not a sustainable one. :'(

Sure it is. But that's a different issue. We've been reckless and irresponsible with the people's money. Both Republicans and Democrats. Our system could very well collapse because people have screwed things up. That's a problem with some people, not what we believe. Our system/culture of right and wrong, etc. on paper is a wonderful thing.

perhaps so but hardly superior
many other cultures offer all the same items you've listed and more (like better access to health care, better access to education,etc..)
what is it with some people in this country needing to feel comfort in some sort of imagined superiority?

Ha ha, you're right, I guess that's why for the last 200+ yrs people from all over the world have flocked in here as if their life depended on it. I guess that's why millions upon millions have risked their lives just to try to come to America. Funny, I've never heard of China, Germany, Spain, England, Russia, Brazil, Iraq, Iran or any other country in the world having the desire and appeal of the United States.

Great point. We have literally millions of people from around the globe who want to move to the land of opportunity.

There are plenty of countries around Europe that are considered desirable places to live.

im not being sarcastic i believe our culture is definitely superior IF you ignore our meddling in affairs of other countries and wars that cause the death of innocent people and destruction of countries around the world. that is a primative aspect of our society but i guess it supports our lifestyles and we need to learn to live with it :-X

I tried to be diplomatic and polite to him by the inclusion of the qualifier "from your POV".
How did I do? Did it come across as politely side-stepping the jingoism, or did it come off as anti-America bashing?
;D
Speaking of better access to health care and better education... a friend of mine just got to interview Bill Gates who is in town for the TIFF premiere of "Waiting For Superman". He said Bill Gates was actually a really wonderful down to earth guy who was very forthcoming. Hmmm go figure. I really wish I had asked him to ask about talk of his ideas vis-a-vis eugenics, but I didn't want to put him in between a rock & a hard place.

Ever heard of Canada? It's that large vast land mass north of the USA, where civil rights are given more than mere lip service, and whose citizens for the most part (present company excepted) quietly go about their lives politely smiling and humoring those with a false sense of superiority.
Then there is Switzerland. Ever heard of Switzerland?
ps: Perhaps you've never heard of it because you are a product of US education. ;)
Great documentary you might want to see: "Waiting For Superman"

I mean there are far too many smoke & mirrors. The party line is one thing,
...but the reality is quite another, and we often willfully turn a blind eye to it.
BB alluded to the people in the system being flawed and as such have acted irresponsibly with the people's money.
The fact is, ...the people's money is GOLD. GOLD & SILVER. These metals have been the people's money since the dawn of time. What has occurred is people have acted irresponsibly with the federal reserve fiat currency, and since the dawn of time no fiat currency has survived. This economic crash was destined to occur. It was only a matter of WHEN and not IF. but again, these are simply monetary policies and do not represent "culture" per sé.
To me culture is all encompassing, and has a lot to do with how one treats and or interacts with their neighbours. IMO, the greatest culture on the planet, is also the longest most enduring and most sustainable culture in existence. It doesn't get a whole lot of publicity or accolades due imo to the embarrassing fact that one would have to admit the barbaric and rather uncivilized way we dealt with them... but I believe the greatest culture on the planet is that of the Native North American... a culture Canada has tried to emulate without acknowledging. For years the debate in Canada was "What is our culture? We're not British, we're certainly not American... we don't have a culture." this is a lie. It is a lie told to many Canadians, and believed by many Canadians, but the truth is, Canada's "Culture" was modeled after Native North American culture. An occasionally embarassing, and frequently inconvenient truth. Culture is not that to which we aspire, ...it is what we live from day to day!

I agree, culture has a lot more to do with other things beyond simply economics or economic power. Things such as the nature of the people, that counts at the top of the list. If that's at the top of the list, lets ask this question, which country citizens give more to charity and provide more foreign aid from their citizens than all other countries combined? This can also be easily looked up...I'll let the answer surprise you :)

superior just sounds arrogant to me. superior comes off a little nazish. As an American I don't have to brand us superior over all others to be proud of what we've done, represent and who we are.

I understand what you're saying but I don't think there's anything wrong with national pride.
-
No. People flock to the US because they don't want to get bombed or shot by the US military. The US is the eye of the storm, a storm created by the US.
I kid I kid!
-

arrogance isn't pride. I'm proud of America and I don't need to publically declare superiority over "all others" to have that be so. There are nations other than us that I doing just fine and we should be glad of that instead of pounding our chest and letting them know we're better than them. What's the point of that? I thought that's what we wanted for the world? But at the same time it's important to maintain some sort of sense of superiority over them? Also stupidity is not a condition of pride imo; the people that feel it's unpatriotic to be critical of America are idiots, it's our duty as citizens to be critical--failure to do so is the quickest way for the people to change things for the worse.
Hey Norway, glad you guys are doing ok and all but just wanted to let you know, we're better than you!!! na na nuh na na!!!! Lame....
(Jag, Canada doesn't count, you guys do suck!!! JK ;D )

I also think it's way past time we slow the immigration down. I don't think that's a bragging right Arnold, I think it's a failure of our government. If the nations of Europe on average have a stricter immigration policy, then they're smarter than us in that regard.
I personally don't believe it's advantageous to the positive progress of 3rd world countries when the west's policy is to allow all of the best people to leave those places. Who the hell's going to want the shitholes of the world changed when everyone that can leave them does, when everyone that hates what's happening in their country leaves instead of staying, well... Everytime someone bails from a shithole, that tilts it one more for the scumbags there.

We all shit in the morning, wipe our ass with paper, and spend the rest of the day trying to make money, have sex, and avoiding embarassing farts. Then we all go to bed. Then, we all die 70 years later.
Until one culture manages to discover eternal life or stop embarassing farts, i'ld say we're all disgusting mortals in the same boat, spending our time gloating about "superior cultures" as a way of hiding any acceptance of the reality of it all.

And that's because we rock. :)
Just to add more context to my initial post, a group of us were having a discussion about the problems with spreading democracy around the world and how some places like the Middle East don't want what we have. It was in response to someone who said our culture is no better than theirs that I made my comments. I raised the issues of the treatment of women, the rape of children (through "marriage"), and the execution of homosexuals as starting points.

;D I think we have a clear front runner...

It's not a bragging right simply because they come here but because of the reason they come here. They come here because the opportunity is greater, many time because where they're coming from refuses to allow opportunity.
More over, it's not really "bragging" IMO, it's simply stating fact. Regardless of being an ass or a big fat jerk, with all things in life there is always one thing that is best, that doesn't make that "one thing" bad. One country is always best, there's always been one country that is superior, that is best. we can argue and disagree about which country that is and that's fine but there is still one that is best...I believe in this case that one is America.
-

Our culture is supperior to all others!!Thats why the world copies EVERYTHING WE DO,from clothes,to sports,to tv,to movies the world mimicks us.We rule all.

all you pointed out was that we have a policy that lets more people in than anyone else. that doesn't really say anything. Not to mention America land wise is probably bigger than every other western nation combined lol... I love America, but using immigration to prove we're just flat out better than everyone else on the planet is a little silly. I didn't say we were not the best. To me we'll always be the best country to live. I was born here and grew up here, I don't want to live anywhere else. I don't need to tell everyone else on earth that we're better to believe America is a great. might as well be saying, I hope the rest of the world does well, just don't do as good as we have. lame...
-
To be 100% honest, there are some things I love about our culture and other things I don't.....I have to say out of the 26 countries I've visited, I prefer it overall. We just take a shitload of stuff for granted here. Even small things like freakin' ice in my drink at a restaurant...hello europe...
But some things, I prefer europe's attitude......ie: tolerance of drinking socially almost anywhere/anytime, leisurely meals instead of choking down a burger at 65 mph, europeans tended to view quality of life as to how much leisure time you could get, whereas Americans want to work themselves into an early grave.......european cities were nice to walk around in without worrying very much about street crime as much as here, public transportation was a great thing, just not feasible here on a large scale.....there are other things, but you get the point.
Superior is a little tough to call, but I certainly prefer it.
-
dude, almost everthing in America is made in china lol... I'm against that, but it's true.
So what?China can make every baseball cap they want,it takes American teams and American people to turn them around backwards and everyonre copies us.They can make the CDs but Americans make the music they listen to.They simply are good at assembly lines,we originate all the ideas.They simply copy us.

I made this statement during a discussion this weekend and my ultra-liberal friend was breathing fire before I went down the list of atrocities against women condoned by many other cultures.

All of this isn't necessarily "culture," but it's all related IMO.
Bum - you forgot to mention our culture allows you to indulge in your weird fascination with capital punishment
-
[...]IMO.
And thank God it's just an opinion.
By the way, a "culture", and I use quotes because I have no idea what you're referring to, that stockpiles enough nuclear weapons to blow up the world 600 times over is not "superior" in anything. It's actually the other way around: It makes us inferior.
If anything it shows a level of contempt for the human species and human life never seen before in the history of the world.
MY opinion.
-

They have no choice. If they don't we just go in and bomb the shit out of the place.

Having stockpiles of weapons doesn't make the U.S.superior, I agree 100%. We have stock piles of weapons because we are hated for being the people we are and having a stockpile of weapons is a necessity to keeping us alive.

they hate us for our freedoms lol....

Sorry to bust your bubble billy, but when it comes to entertainment, the US mimics everyone else.
There hasn't been an original idea in Hollywood in ages. Alot of our more popular TV shows were modelled after British ones. Sorry, hate to say it, but it's true. As for fashion... we only have to look to Europe to know who mimicks who.
As for sports... where do you think American football came from? or American baseball? ::)
BTW: Just because something is copied or mimicked, doesn't necessarily make it great.
Just because something is dominant also doesn't make it great. Greatness is what makes it great!
-
Speaking of entertainment and sports, the greatest actors and actresses in the world are in the U.S., except for two of my favorites (Sean Connery and Nicole Kidman). The best athletes in the world are in the United States. The only major sport we don't dominate is soccer, and that's only because our best athletes don't play soccer.
And nothing beats attending a live sporting event. Another one of the pleasures of being an American. :)
-
Ever heard of Canada? It's that large vast land mass north of the USA, where civil rights are given more than mere lip service, and whose citizens for the most part (present company excepted) quietly go about their lives politely smiling and humoring those with a false sense of superiority.
Then there is Switzerland. Ever heard of Switzerland?
ps: Perhaps you've never heard of it because you are a product of US education. ;)
Great documentary you might want to see: "Waiting For Superman"
Oh please, you clowns don't even have freedom of speech. Your shithole country has nothing to offer - nothing in science, nothing in art, nothing in humanities, absolutely nothing. Probably why your douchebag ass spends so much time on here posting crazy CT shit.

I heard he is swimming in money because he asked for Priceline stock as part of his compensation. Never verified it.
But he was the man back in the day. A poor man's James Bond when it came to the ladies. :)

Actually, the greatest actors & actresses in the world are in the UK.
The most popular actors & actresses in the world are in Bollywood

Soccer, ...hockey... skiing... I could go on.
And nothing beats attending a live sporting event. Another one of the pleasures of being an American. :)
They don't have live sporting events in other parts of the world?
Dang! What was that thing I attended at the Skydome? I thought it was a live Blue jays game.
I suppose that Montréal Canadiens hockey game doesn't count either. ...or the Raptor game... *sigh*

I have absolutely no idea how to respond to that, other than to say shh.... let's keep that a secret. lol
I like Shatner, even if he isn't exactly the best actor out there. I know there were some big controveries from the star trek set and some after that, but hell, not anything worse than we usually see out of Holywood.

What makes America great?
*Our history, although short lived in terms of much of the world, our history is a story very unique unto its own.
*Our government, a system of governing that was set up to be ruled by the people, the people are over the government, not the other way around. Although I freely admit, this is becoming more and more threatened every day and has been for some time.
*Our charitable nature. No country on earth gives as much as the U.S. And I'm talking about what the citizens do, not the government.
*Our diversity, no country on earth has such a diverse population, which in turn, has once again given us a culture unique to the world.
*Cliche to say but we are a country of unlimited opportunity, there is no ceiling, there is not cap and the door is wide open for that opportunity for anyone who wants to take a stab at it.
*Innovation, I'm sorry, it is very hard to argue against this, what has America brought to the world?

Don't like America, don't think it's worth much, think a million other places are better, that's fine but you cannot deny America is one of the greatest places in the history of the world. I'm sorry, not liking it is one thing, but arguing it is just plain idiotic.

those are for sure some of the things that make us great. I'm not sure many of those people would want their achievements to be used in a claim of national superiority over everyone else in the world.
Should say, we didn't invent the automobile. The first gas powered auto was invented by Karl Benz. But like you said, there's more you can add to that list easy.

Liar, liar, pants on fire... you're not kidding at all! ;)
What we see here folks is truth... disguised as humour.
Yes, I am kidding, "genius." You claim to have a 160 IQ, and you can't see I'm kidding. ::)
People from all over the world, even Canada, flock to the US for the many opportunities and freedoms the US has to offer them which they can't get in their previous country of residence.
There is no freedom of speech and no freedom of religion in Canada. A Christian preacher can get in trouble with the law simply for stating that homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible.
A Canadian born American psychiatrist I know told me that his colleagues, family and friends criticized him for migrating to the US. He even took a pay cut by doing that. But he knew that the career and financial opportunities the US had to offer him would pay off in the end. And they did. He now is wealthier than he ever would have been in Canada, and happier with his career than he ever would have been in Canada.
BTW, Canada is USA's mentally retarded, little brother. And now I am really not kidding.

so unless you believe our "culture" (all 200 years of it) is superior to every other culure on the planet then you're an America hating socialist?
the american hating part is lame enough but how did you roll socialist into it?

No one implied America was beyond mistakes, as every country on earth throughout history, America is made up of human beings, human beings that make mistakes. that doesn't take away from the positive aspects. Sure, there's a balance, but IMO the good far outweighs the bad.

Correct.
-
I'm not sure what you're getting at, at least substance wise. You knocked American culture and I gave you some quality examples, so "mental masturbation" I don't get it.
How did I know American culture? By simply not agreeing that it is the most superior?
Or by pointing out that alot of the things Americans assume are American originals are simply knock-offs from other countries. Is that your definition of knocking America? because I believe Native North American culture to be the most superior culture. Does that mean I'm knocking Chinese culture? Does that mean I'm knocking African culture. To not slavishly adore a certain culture is to knock it?
Mental masturbation is jerking yourself off with jingoism.

LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO---- This genius with the 160 IQ doesn't know what the word culture means. I wonder if jobs or income opportunities are related to culture. Hmmmmmmmmmmm....... I wonder......
cul·ture (klchr)
n.
1.
a. The totality of socially transmitted behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, and all other products of human work and thought.
b. These patterns, traits, and products considered as the expression of a particular period, class, community, or population: Edwardian culture; Japanese culture; the culture of poverty.
c. These patterns, traits, and products considered with respect to a particular category, such as a field, subject, or mode of expression: religious culture in the Middle Ages; musical culture; oral culture.
d. The predominating attitudes and behavior that characterize the functioning of a group or organization.
a. Development of the intellect through training or education.
b. Enlightenment resulting from such training or education.
Civilization is also a synonym for culture. Do you know what the word civilization means?

Jag just proved my point that Canada is USA's mentally retarded, little brother. Her IQ is more like 49.
-
I think so. I made this statement during a discussion this weekend and my ultra-liberal friend was breathing fire before I went down the list of atrocities against women condoned by many other cultures. I told her to try being a woman in Iran, India, or any number of Asian countries and see how much she likes it.
It's a little arrogant to have this opinion, but my view is based on the system, not the people. Our system of government, our laws, our branches of government are superior to any other culture in the world. It's the people who get in and screw things up.
If you step back and look at what we offer, it's unmatched: freedom of speech, the press, religion, expression, due process, free lawyers, the right to a jury, the appellate system, the legislative process, checks and balances, anti-discrimination laws, the welfare system, anti-patient dumping laws (meaning if you show up at the ER with an emergency medical condition they have to treat you), protection of incapacitated people, property ownership, the free market, the educational opportunities, professional opportunities, leisure activities, sports, strong defense, solid infrastructure, fire and law enforcement, charitable entities, foreign aid for countries that suffer disasters, and the list goes on.
All of this isn't necessarily "culture," but it's all related IMO.
I think our system of government is great and our Constitution is great. However, its not without its serious flaws. Is it the best? I really don't know, I don't know enough detail about other country's governments to say for certain.

I love how american get all patriotic because they have the most. It's borderline retarted. American is only the greatest if you ignore it hasn't the highest population of any industrialized country. The germans and japanese are the only real runners up and they have about 1/3 your pop each. On per capita basis, america, has almost nothing going for it NOTHING!!!, well except military spending, and coruption. Don't get me wrong in the past it topped the scales, but since than shit happens, but that's how things work, romans,brits, dutch, spainards. chinese, and even the french had day in the sun.
I'm a canadian btw and would of wanted to move to the states until about 15 years ago.

I don't think anyone has made that argument in this thread, except when talking about opportunities. There are more opportunities for success and happiness in this country. More so than any other place in the world. But that's only part of the culture analysis.
Saying the U.S. has "nothing going for it NOTHING!!!" is retarded. [insert loco opinion here] Go back to my first post in this thread. I mentioned a number of great things about our culture.

Is everyone that lives in Canada a complete and total moron, or is it just the Canadians that frequent this website? There are so many stupid things about your response to this thread that I don't even know where to start. The horrific grammatical errors, the argument that only countries that are rich tend to be patriotic (ie America)-- followed by the statement in bold that America has nothing going for it per capita ( which not only contradicts your former statement, but is wholly irrelevant to this topic and also inaccurate if you were trying to criticize American GDP-- which then again I sincerely doubt because I would bet money you don't know what GDP means). Then there is your gem of brilliance about America's large population, which I doubt even a psychic with a PhD in economics and linguistics can decipher. Thank god you don't want to move here. The last thing we need is another functionally illiterate illegal immigrant stealing the jobs away from our already present illegal immigrants. Although, you may have a leg up if you apply for a job chopping down trees or picking vegetables under several layers of permafrost.
PS- This thread is also glistening with irony. Notice how the Canadian calls American patriotism retarded and then spells retarded wrong==>It's borderline retarted

Hey, somebody's gotta take care of the wives while the husbands are away making the 6-figure salaries.
Poor woman. You get home too tired, unwilling to do the deed... for weeks on end. She goes out of her way to cook you breakfast, lunch and dinner. Then one, day, Juan shows up to mow your lawn and he ends yo mowing your lawn and your wife's "lawn".
It's good to be Mexican in my opinion.

So, while a woman is not directly responsible for you becoming a cross dressing necrophiliac, you decided to become one after a 4'9 Mexican day laborer named Juan had relations with your first cousin? :-\

The horrific grammatical errors, the argument that only countries that are rich tend to be patriotic (ie America)-- followed by the statement in bold that America has nothing going for it per capita ( which not only contradicts your former statement, but is wholly irrelevant to this topic and also inaccurate if you were trying to criticize American GDP-- which then again I sincerely doubt because I would bet money you don't know what GDP means). Then there is your gem of brilliance about America's large population, which I doubt even a psychic with a PhD in economics and linguistics can decipher. Thank god you don't want to move here. The last thing we need is another functionally illiterate illegal immigrant stealing the jobs away from our already present illegal immigrants. Although, you may have a leg up if you apply for a job chopping down trees or picking vegetables under several layers of permafrost.
PS- This thread is also glistening with irony. Notice how the Canadian calls American patriotism retarded and then spells retarded wrong==>It's borderline retarted
;D
Don't blame him. Blame his lack of education. He had a whiny thread on the G&O about how he was shirking out on his college loans and couldn't use his community college's gym. Another benefit-sucking leech.

I'm studying at one of the most competitive engineering programs in the country FYI. My english sucks never said it didn't. You have evaded the question, is their anything america is good at on a per capita measure. I'd really like to know. You honestly don't know do you? I'm talking about literacy rates, education levels, income, poverty levels, coruption levels, manufacturing output, life expectancy, health care, balance of trade, living standards, job security, measure of freedom, polution levels, immigration rates, self reports of happiness, anything?

So, while a woman is not directly responsible for you becoming a cross dressing necrophiliac, you decided to become one after a 4'9 Mexican day laborer named Juan had relations with your first cousin? :-\
Juan, is that you???!!!!

Aside from picking apart my spelling, he's didn't really say anything. The "america is the greatest" phenom is you unique to America. Sure there are patriots in every country, but only in america are people painfully unaware how they rank in the world. They continue to believe this dogma that because they are by far the biggest industrialized country, that this somehow makes there culture superior.
If you could name but one thing that makes america greater than any other, that isn't directly related to it's size I'm all ears.

Go back and read the thread, starting with the first post. No one made the argument that the U.S. has a superior culture because it is bigger than everyone else. There are also numerous examples of what makes this culture great throughout the thread.

Apparently so.

If you step back and look at what we offer, it's unmatched: freedom of speech, the press, religion, expression, due process, free lawyers, the right to a jury, the appellate system, the legislative process, checks and balances, anti-discrimination laws, the welfare system, anti-patient dumping laws (meaning if you show up at the ER with an emergency medical condition they have to treat you), protection of incapacitated people, property ownership, the free market, the educational opportunities, professional opportunities, leisure activities, sports, strong defense, solid infrastructure, fire and law enforcement, charitable entities, foreign aid for countries that suffer disasters, and the list goes on.
1)anti-patient dumping laws (meaning if you show up at the ER with an emergency medical condition they have to treat you)
millions of American's have no coverage when most countries in norwest europe and can do.
2)charitable entities, foreign aid for countries that suffer disasters, and the list goes on
American's give less Aid per capita, than almost any country in North Euro
3) freedom of speech, the press, religion, expression, due process, free lawyers, the right to a jury, the appellate system, the legislative process, checks and balances, anti-discrimination laws
anti discrimination laws, yet in the past had black only schools, and even to this day Blacks are don't get past the interview, then there the whole increased persecution of blacks by the legal system, and are much worse off money wise.
Then there's invading Iraq with ZERO cause, if looking at it on legal terms was an invasion.
Then there POW abuses which are clearly unjust.
Rampant corruption in the government, ex viceprez, handed over billions of reconstruction of Iraq. It's a clear case of corruption. If you can name me one anticorruption advocate that don't see that as a direct conflict of interest I'll buy you a house.
If you look at any measures of corruption, racial inequality, or income stratification, America does not do well.
4) leisure activities, sports, strong defense, solid infrastructure, fire and law enforcement, charitable entities, foreign aid for countries that suffer disasters, and the list goes on
Crime rates are drastically higher than any country in europe. Your transit infrastructure is a joke, compared to west europe. Obesity rates again the worst in the world, so yes you do have sports entertainment, but have little activity outside arena's.
5) property ownership, the free market, the educational opportunities, professional opportunities,
Could spend all day at this one. But you guys caused a fucking global recession need I say more, Germans have one of the lowest debt rates in the world, and as well as japans, need I mention Canada's and france's economies hardly slipping after the crisis. As far as professions, your dependant on imported professionals,
To finish off, if you compare yourself to shitholes like china and india, your gods, however to any country that is industrialized your "average". As far as people flocking to go there, Canada has the highest "legal":P immigration rate in the world.
That don't mean america ain't a nice place, it's just it's not significantly better than any other developed nation.

Let's take a look at your post; shall we?
I love how american get all patriotic because they have the most. It's borderline retarted.
Who here said America is the greatest because it has the most? Show me. And.... the "most" of what?
Otherwise all you are doing is inserting an invalid premise to make an argument.
American is only the greatest if you ignore it hasn't the highest population of any industrialized country.
WTF is that supposed to mean?
Yeah, people are complaining about your grammar and English because it's demonstrating YOUR inability to communicate. Don't they require you to pass basic English to get a degree in Canada?
The germans and japanese are the only real runners up and they have about 1/3 your pop each. On per capita basis, america, has almost nothing going for it NOTHING!!!
Really? So i have none of the opportunities and rights to flourish and live guaranteed to me in the US constitution? For example, I can't choose to build my own business in one of the world's strongest economies and not get it taxed to death? ....Like to the tune of 35%-40% income tax and 15% sales tax? ....Know what i mean? ;)
well except military spending, and coruption.
Really now? There's no corruption in other countries? Canada is free from corruption in its government?
Don't get me wrong in the past it topped the scales, but since than shit happens, but that's how things work, romans,brits, dutch, spainards. chinese, and even the french had day in the sun.
I'm a canadian btw and would of wanted to move to the states until about 15 years ago.
I forgive you for being Canadian. :D Most of my relatives are Canadian too. Canada was their second choice. The line and the wait was too long to get into the country they wanted to get into, America, where it has nothing, nothing going for it. ::)
Yeah, I am American, I do believe I live in the greatest country in the world. So what? I don't believe our culture is superior, in fact i believe our culture as a whole needs a lot of work. However there is so much going for America that people all around the world want in.
Maybe if you take the time to read all of the posts on this thread you will find many of them admit to our short comings. That way you won't look like a complete idiot next time you post.

I didn't bother reading your post but I caught this and can't help but laugh at how retarded you are. Japan? Their economy has been shit for over a decade now. France? They're pretty much rioting over Sarkozy wanting to bump the retirement age to 62 because the government CAN'T SUSTAIN THEIR WAY OF LIFE.
Germany? Yeah, I'll give you that. Germany is very fiscally conservative. They're the economic bully in Europe and a lot of what they do is damaging to the other European economies. Europe is a mess right now and it's their lackadaisical, socialist way of life that is the cause of it.
You are another uneducated moron that has no clue what he's talking about.

Well of aware of Frances and Japans issues, The french are the liberal nut jobs and are mostly at the bottom. Japan would be alright but they don't feel the need to be overrun by mexicans, and have to deal with demographics issues before economy ever recovers.
For the record the countries that top the list are germany, australia, canada, netherlands, norjway sweden and finland.
Brit, Spain, and Ireland were doing great until the American culture of dereg shafted them fucking hard.
But if you actually read what I posted then you'd know you can't compare countries that are at this level.

I doubt it. He's a gimmick. He's lying, either way. He decided not to want to move to America years ago but he's a college student still living with Daddy? He'd have been about 4 when he made that decision then. ::)

So now you acknowledge their issues yet you were just singing their praises? LOL. That makes sense.
And Spain? Please. They destroyed their own economy. Their green initiative, among other idiotic socialist endeavors, was a massive failure. They have no one but themselves to blame.
-

Lol and american's are attempting to ban Gay marriage, and are trying to prevent basic science being taught in high schools. I'd take anti hate speech laws, over a bunch of red neck Evangelicals any day.

There are two sides of each country, however none is really leading the pact. France and spain provides a pretty good lifestyle to the many that feed off the government.

That's nice. Too bad all the European governments are pretty much acknowledging that it's not sustainable, hence why France wants to bump the retirement age up.
Germany is the only economic entity outside of the Scandinavian countries that has its head on straight. Funny, they're the least socialist of all those central European countries, too. Merkel caught a ton of flack for not bailing Greece out so those fools can carry on with their failure of a socialism experiment.

Blacken has been conspicously absent from the forum lately. Although this douchebag sounds even less educated, I wouldn't be surprised if this gimmick has been picking up where he left off.

So you admit that in Canada a preacher is not allowed to teach his congregation that Homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible. I thought you said Canada offered freedom of speech, religion, expression. So you lied.

Lol well FYI I wanna move to germany bad. I love their culture, I'd say it's the greatest but it's BS as their very conservative and boring to most. So you admit that in Canada a preacher is not allowed to teach his congregation that Homosexuality is a sin according to the Bible. I thought you said Canada offered freedom of speech, religion, expression. So you lied.
No I did not lie, Canada has free speech just a slightly lesser degree than USA's. Fox news makes freech speech nul and void anyhow. I'm a strong advocate of Hate speech laws, well at the current time. I don't get Idealistic about these things, I'm full on pragmatist when it comes to issues of violence.

What? This doesn't even make sense. They're FISCALLY conservative. Do you know why Germany is the economic power that it is? It's because they didn't listen to retards like you who sing the praises of socialism. Funny how all the socialist countries in Europe are now crawling on their hands and knees begging Germany for bailouts. ::)
Holy shit, you're retarded.
It's funny that you're criticizing America's education system when Canada's has obviously completely failed you.

That's not freedom of speech, religion, expression. Believing whether or not a certain life style is immoral and saying it is not hate speech.
As a foreigner to both, USA and Canada, I would much rather immigrate to the USA for the many freedoms and opportunities it has to offer, which Canada does not.

Who said I'm Left wring I'm pretty strong center actually. I'm a huge fan of German free enterprise, but than I see american's fucking it up severly. So I have to account for culture. So for some cultures socalism works and others free markets. Problem is nothing is working for America. Sure you guys will fix it in a few decades I have faith but right now you guys are flopping big time.
You could say I'm a hypocrit that switches his views to win an argument. Or realize I account for the fact were "humans" and not machines, which most capitalist assume.

In the context of canada priest were trying to repress the rights of homosexuals and pressuring their church goers to do the same, saw it with my own fucking eyes:P. I agree with this as Churchs get tax breaks, and should be accountable for their actions, just as I believe no group should openly advocate for the direct violation of core humans rights. It's about the reality not the theory.

It's simple free market works when a culture can work with it. You need personal savings, not a population that can't even afford it's mortgage payments. Germans can do it, you guys don't, which leads me to think you need more gov involvement, or need american's to learn how to balance a check book. Either way at the moment your failing, something must give.

It's hilarious that you're lecturing us on what we need to do with our money when you can't even meet your loan obligations. People like you are the last ones that should be giving out economic advice.

Again, believing whether or not a certain life style is immoral and saying it is not hate speech. If Canada priests and churches were violating anyone's core human rights, then Canada should have dealt with it through existing human rights laws instead of denying Christians their freedom of speech, of religion and of expression. Canada is not giving Homosexuals equal rights. Canada is giving Homosexuals special rights and treatment while violating other people's freedoms.

FYI I was debating on wether or not to get a student loan, as my parents have more than enough money to put me through my schooling. It was a moment of white guilt, don't worry I won't let it happen again. ::)

On paper this is what it looks like in reality, it very different. Free speech is fine as long as it's not slander or intent in to incite hatred. You can pretend all you want that Queers haven't been hated on in the past, but your the only one believing it. If priest were advocating for stripping the rights of blacks to vote I'd feel the same. Or if muslims Imans were announcing that don't let woman work at your workplace. There's a limit to the freedoms any organized group can say. Of course you can say whatever you want, in your home in private, but a church is favored land and should be held accountable.

There are already laws that protect everyone, including "Queers", from all the things you listed. Again, believing a certain life style is immoral and saying it is not hate speech.
Deny everybody their freedom of speech and their freedom of religion just to give "Queers" special rights and special treatment. That's really smart and fair! ::)
Canada sucks!
