You obviously don't understand shit about foreign politics.

All we really need to know is that most of the world is medieval compared to the good, old US of A!

Mental health is a good thing. I highly recommend it.

What do posts like this achieve - why do you have the need to demonstrate how powerful your Country is?

Just remember history has proven time and time again that no one nation can stay on top forever, it is this very untouchable attitude which leads to the downfall of many great nations.

Everything in nature acts as competing organisms. USA has been bloated for far too long and signs are beginning to show that other hungry, dedicated competitors are looking to take some of that fat the USA has been enjoying.

I love the US but the lack of IQ or intelligence is worrying, look at the idiot poster in this thread talking about medal count, Olympics is determined by winners e.g. Gold medals - no one cares much for 2nd place.
The Country was great and will still be great, but your capitalistic markets are beginning to show signs of Socialism as you bailout more and more weak companies ala Japan in the 90s and we all know how that ended.

It is good to love ones Country and to be proud of it but this constant need to show your superiority makes you look like a fool - how the fuck do you contribute anything great to your nation. Are you anybody special?? Nope just the average Joe clinging onto some dream that just because his Country is great that he is great.

Typical lack of intelligence and understanding of Economics, not even knowing that many states in the US cannot compete with most European Countries on most measures of standard of living.

As for China, why the hate - surely you guys should be happy that they are moving towards capitalism. It will obviously take time for things to change to a real democracy over there, but i can guarantee as the population keeps receiving high quality of education from the West things will change in China.

Human capital is the most important resource over time, and more and more top students will continue to go back home and set up new businesses. As for spending on the Olympic, this is often very good idea to regenerate an Economy with massive fiscal budget - often always leads to a bubble however with high inflation but you fail to recognise that the Country has caught the attention of many large companies and foreign investment. These companies will look for value when the bubble breaks and things get back to a more invest-able level.

I am an investor / trader but if you asked where i would put my long term investments for the next 30 years you can be damn sure it will not be the US. India is my most attractive prospect with its large middle class and huge surge in billionaires - all will add to more and more investment and self made entrepreneurs in that Country. China is a close 2nd after i see some more reform towards a democracy.

Moosejay you are typifying the average American and demonstrating that you lack any class.

[technokc]

I have had septicemia AND a paralytic ileus...and still alive!

And thanks, I am.

Really?  You get fed through a tube?

I find it hard to believe that with the money you make Moosey that you never been out of the country.  Is there a specific reason behind this?


. . . . and by the way dog is a mighty fine meal!

Well line 'em up, bra!

There are many, many capitalists here such as me. And forget the IQ shit....that shit means nothing in the real world where I operate...that's all "woulda, coulda shit

I am a business owner and have helped thousands over my career....soimethging you could NEVER do in your shithole country.

Good luck with that

Moosejay you are typifying the average American and demonstrating that you lack any class.

And you are demonstrating prejudice and intolerance in any divergent thinking other than your own. Chew on that, tovarisch.

[Moosejay]

No....Had to wait till bowel started up...IV only for 3c weeks

I find it hard to believe that with the money you make Moosey that you never been out of the country.  Is there a specific reason behind this?

I work so much I am one of those guys who never makes the time...I will take my parents to Italy next year

LOL awesome gimmick.

I am done replying to you Moosejay, if only you would open your eyes and start using some intellect you will see how ridiculous and outrageous your boastful claims come across to other readers.

I am not willing to waste my time replying to a patriotic moron with lack of sense or reasoning - it is clear you are hard headed and therefore unwilling to take on any meaningful debate.

okay "Supreme Being"

Lots of "meaningful debate" with one with such a moniker, goofaronus.

[tommywishbone]

"Hmmmm, it's a bit more complicated than that."


  That is exactly what one of my old defense attorneys would say to the jury when he was preparing to tell a lie. Exactly.

  Thanks for the memories (I won that case).

Wow good see some one else feels the same way I do.

[Top Dog]

This is all so ridiculous. You can formulate your argument any way you want. It's all so subjective. On the one hand Titus is just showing hate and envy towards the U.S. when in fact he knows that IN GENERAL there is no better country to live, prosper, fulfill your dreams, than the U.S. There are other great countries out there but I think everyone knows the deal. You can bash the economy now because it's in t trough but when on all cylinders there is no better and the way the US economy goes, so follows the rest of the world. Moosejay isn't putting up much of a debate but in fairness to him, he just doesn't have the hate in his responses that Titus does. Who cares, everyone from all over the world is crawling over each other to get here so much that we need to slow it down. Why is that? I think that answers a lot.

Everyone is crawling to get into the USA sure. The Brits, French, Australians, Caymanians, Emirates etc will tell you the same. Just about all economic strong nations have immigrants trying to get in, and all have huge problems. USA is not alone in that and anyone who thinks so obviously is unaware of world affairs.

You may think you nation is best, great. It is a great nation. I adore mine. Canada is great. Australia is fantastic. Numerous European nations are great. New Zealand is strong. They are all different. US offers many things other nations don't, while other nations offer things USA doesn't, free health, free college, zero income tax, lower crime etc.

All the first world nations are great and you can prosper in all of them. All the 3rd world nationals try to immigrate to them. The best nation comes down to opinion. I've traveled the world and seen much great nations, and some sad nations. The difference is between 1st world and 3rd.

I'm not hating U.S., I said it's a great place to visit. I state some unpleasant facts about U.S., that's not hating. But as I said, U.S. as a nation is in massive state of denial. I have many good american friends, so just to spell it out: U.S. is a good country, and has lots of good people, but is heading to a terrible direction.

I live in Canada and own real estate here. Trust me when I say I'm really glad I own it in Canada instead of U.S. Moose on the other hand fails to recognize some very fundamental facts. When I present UN stats, he ridicules it.

How about this one from CIA. Hint: check 1st and last positions

The funniest thing about the Olympics was that only the American media outlets had them as 'TOP' as they won more medals overall while the rest of the world had China as number one as.... well you know, they had the most gold medals 

Not like America to be blind in its patriotism, is it?   

[gettingbetter]

shit, really??

being canadian that makes me smile   

Yeah but both Ethipia and Kenya got more medals than us Canadian wich puts things into perspective.

Emilie Heymans still has got the sexiest body in the world though...
