Guest The Big Lie Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Perhaps the greatest lie and self delusion we live under, is this believe that America is the greatest country on the face of the earth. It is nothing but a big lie. There are too many other countries to live that are many times better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 There is no other country with our freedoms, our success, or our strengths. We are the country that they all look to when they need help. We have taken down dictators and tyrants and left democracy to flourish. We are FAR from perfect be we are the best in the world. If you disagree and it is such a problem for you, in this country you also have the freedom to leave. Try that in North Korea. We have MILLIONS of people trying to enter our country or already in our country illegally because it is the best country in the world. How many illegal immigrants is the rest of the world dealing with. Our poorest people have a better standard of living than 90 percent of the rest of the world. The only person who appears to be suffering from self delusion is you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 Our supremacy is fleeting, squandered away through a generation of poor decision making at the federal level. As soon as the world's reserve currency is no longer the US dollar and oil trades are using another currency it will be game over. China will have defeated us without firing a single bullet.

Guest Guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 You should probably wait a couple years before you do anything rash, like leaving the country. Once you graduate high school, maybe get some higher education under your belt, or at least some real life experience, your opinon will surely change. As bad as things seem here sometime, they are undoubtably worse elsewhere. You have to travel to other countries to see true poverty where thousands of children die each day from hunger. Other countries where racism equals genocide. Other countries to see governments that control every aspect of their citizens lives. You get the picture. You will realize that America is the greatest country in the world and will be a little embarassed with yourself when you think back on how awful you thought it was.

Guest Guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 More inovation has come from the US than all of history combined. People like you are what is wrong with todays society. It is projected that by the year 2015 China will file for twice as many patents as the United States. Source: http://www.businessweek.com/technology/content/jan2011/tc2011017_509416.htm We were the innovative leaders of the world. We have squandered it thanks to open trade agreements and the movement of both blue and white collar jobs overseas. China has a law that you cannot simply move only manufacturing jobs to their country, but you also have to employ a percentage of research & development staff. I'd like to puff out my chest, wave my flag, and spout blind patriotic rhetoric like we're the best at everything, but it's just not true anymore. We're failing at education, we've sent our best jobs to other countries, we no longer make anything except US dollars, and we're printing that as fast as the presses can handle. Do you want to see something scary? Check this out: https://www.cia.gov/library/publications/the-world-factbook/rankorder/2187rank.html That is the account balance of every country in the world. That should make everyone's hair stand on end. We are dead last and by no small margin! When these countries (like China) don't need our failing economy any more they will come looking to cash in on their loans, and we will be left with only one option -- print MORE money! Inflation on an astronomical scale and China will own us lock, stock, and barrel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Guest Posted January 13, 2011 Report Share Posted January 13, 2011 We ultimately "beat" USSR and the cold war ended because of economic factors. USSR spent money on their war machine like a drunken sailor, and did not have the money to spend on their own domestic development. China will beat us by taking a page right of our own playbook (which undoubtedly was "Made in China"). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
