[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;27510462]Not true every country that isnt America is ruled by an evil dictator with no freedom of speech.[/QUOTE] Lol Glaber rated you dumb. I remember I was taught this in elementary school. It's one of the few things I remember about grade school. They would tell us how lucky we were to live in the greatest, free-est country in the world.
Yea I thought every country that wasnt America was filled with crime and people who want to kill us for how awesome we were.
I just thought we were the best and others like Canada came in 2nd place and below with Britain at 3rd.

I though we were talking about what we thought back then, not what we think now.
[QUOTE=Glaber;27510937]I though we were talking about what we thought back then, not what we think now.[/QUOTE] i thought this was a thread about healthcare reform but i guess since it's a glaber thread you had to derail it
I have heard possibly three arguments against health care reform. The first is that it cost money, a little over a trillion dollars, but it was also projected to cost the country even more to hold on to private healthcare. The second is that it kills jobs, which I have yet to ever find proof of. Thirdly, is that those without health care must get it or be fined. It's probably the most valid, but it really doesn't holds it's own weight to repeal everything. Just pass new legislation to get rid of the rough edges of healthcare.

No, compare the Scandinavian countries in comparison to rights, social freedoms, etc. to America - you'll see why America is 17th. [b]17th[/b] Glaber. And on Healthcare America ranks [b]30+[/b]. We've gone through this so many times.
That whole first, second, third thing was really based on nothing as back then in elementary school, I had a lot to learn back then. Of course the whole health care list of today, I feel is flawed. Last I was informed, the reason for the US' position was because of the US including certain statistics 99% of the other countries didn't, allowing for the results to be skewed.

Glaber can you promise not to get permabanned so you can have that title?
Why would I even want that Title? If I were to get it and not get perma'd, it would still be a waste of money, unless you want one too.
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;27495032]It works for other countries in the world like Canada. They do have some military but they don't do anything with it for the most part.[/QUOTE] Except go on pretty much every single NATO peacekeeping mission as well as combat in Afghanistan We also need to keep a presence in the arctic or the Russians/Americans/Norwegians will take it [editline]18th January 2011[/editline] Hey, titles for other people are only $20 now
[QUOTE=Glaber;27512723]Why would I even want that Title? If I were to get it and not get perma'd, it would still be a waste of money, unless you want one too.[/QUOTE] if i changed your title to "michigan's worst export" would you change it back
[QUOTE=Prismatex;27512812]if i changed your title to "michigan's worst export" would you change it back[/QUOTE] No, Why waste money fixing your mistake?

USA goes totally overboard and sends 500,000.

They're $20 for gold Members
[QUOTE=PvtCupcakes;27513096]Yeah but Canada only sends like 500 troops.[/QUOTE] 2830 currently deployed 152 casualties (the highest per capita in Afghanistan)
[QUOTE=Glaber;27513284]They're $20 for gold Members[/QUOTE] 20 for me too.
Glaber the "gold member discount" was a joke
Well it fooled me.
[QUOTE=Glaber;27513600]Well it fooled me.[/QUOTE] That's because you're very easily fooled. See: Talk radio
[QUOTE=Zeke129;27495293] [img_thumb]http://i.cubeupload.com/XvnSJQ.png[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] This why your one of if not my favorite poster zeke. I just hope no one hates me enough to spend 40$ on.
[QUOTE=imasillypiggy;27516434]This why your one of if not my favorite poster zeke. I just hope no one hates me enough to spend 40$ on.[/QUOTE] $40? It's only $20 with the Gold Member discount.
[QUOTE=Prismatex;27516493]$40? It's only $20 with the Gold Member discount.[/QUOTE] It's actually free if we use our gold member influence
[QUOTE=Prismatex;27516493]$40? It's only $20 with the Gold Member discount.[/QUOTE] So you have no reason not to fix your title.
[QUOTE=Glaber;27513600]Well it fooled me.[/QUOTE] If a simple internet rewording tricks you, then no wonder your talk show hosts trick you. You're honestly like a sheep.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;27516511]It's actually free if we use our gold member influence[/QUOTE] you can, I can't stand the heat when rusty's around
[QUOTE=Glaber;27510649]I just thought we were the best and others like Canada came in 2nd place and below with Britain at 3rd.[/QUOTE] America comes first in terms of [i]americanness[/i]
