Which is probably why I didn't say Saudi Arabia and/or Lichtenstein is the greatest country on Earth...

Because if it wasn't I wouldn't be speaking to you right now in your own language. I'm sure you could remember a thing or two about why your country is the greatest country on the planet right now from your history class.

There's plenty of things wrong with it sure, but I'd rather live in a world where the U.S. is the bully rather than say Russia or China...

Russia isn't that bad anymore since Putin took charge, I mean he fixed their economy...

The English language comes from England, not America and I don't argue that it's not great but I think there are plenty better countries with a better government and much richer culture.

Well duh but why not compare New Zealand to America or Canada or something as opposed to those two?

I know where it comes from asswipe, but I wouldn't be speaking it if it wasn't for the immeasurable impact American culture has had on the rest of the world.



Because of the above? I'm sure there's plenty of countries that have a better overall standard of living, but I doubt Sweden is gonna be given the epithet "greatest" any time soon. Get the difference?

But I'm your asswipe.

China and Russia wouldn't be given it either though, I'm kind of confused.

I like America.

Basically most of America is from Irish decent, hence the reason of it's greatness.

Well if it wasn't for America, who knows, maybe we'd all be speaking Mandarin or Russian and saluting comrade Stalin...would you like that, huh, would you? O.o...*50's American propaganda*

Well, obvioulsy Sweden won't be considered the greatest, because they don't have nearly enough people to have the strong military that we do, or GDP.

There seems to be something wrong with our system, and the entire political system, because generally dishonest people are attracted to politics, and are able to rise up the ranks of the 2 party system. Also, many politicians are lawyers before they become politicians. It just pisses me off that lawyers lie for a living, and once you've been doing that, and lying becomes you're trademark, or way of life, you don't even see anything wrong with it anymore.
What it will take is the recognition, by the average person, to see a complete scumbag, and say, I don't want that guy in office. But we are unable to distinguish scumbags, I think, because of our own dishonesty.
