I didn't do anything. HolyCrusade keeps coming in the threads and trying to provoke me.

No one is trying to provoke you. Paranoid much?
[QUOTE=The golden;24136271]Getting all defensive are we? Did that hurt you deep down inside?
Because he never said anything about his country, let alone being better.[/QUOTE]
Sorry, its fact that the United States has superiority.

[QUOTE=Splurgy_A;24136504]It's not, that's the whole point. The USA is a bit shit, but so is Britain, and so's France and so's every other Western democracy. They're not as shit to live in as China or Pakistan, but there's still plenty of things wrong with our societies. Different problems exist for each country, but overall we're about the same in terms of shittiness.
I never understand why so many Americans are [i]so[/i] enthusiastic about their country. I mean it's nice that you like where you live and in some respects the USA is pretty neat but you see people on telly going "WOO! AMERICA IS NUMBER ONE! WE'RE THE GREATEST! WOO!". You get that a little bit over here in the UK but generally speaking people who are "Woo Britain woo!" are the same ones who think we should bring back hanging and would like Johnny Foreigner to go away, whilst in the US a lot of the people seem otherwise quite reasonable.

It is because all of us honestly think it is the best country.
Is there some sort of issue with having an opinion like that? I see it that it is true because our defense budget blows every other country out of the water, we developed in a little over 240 years, we have strongest military/armed forces - and the highest tech industry than any other country. We have equal amounts of natural resources meaning we [i]could[/i] survive on our own, and we have the worlds largest market.
We get fucking free refils, cheap ass food with decent quality, we don't have to pay for Ice in our drinks, and we don't produce sparkling water. That is all that matters in the citizen's eyes because truthfully do you want to pay for something that you don't pay for here? It is small stuff like this that makes me hate Europe. I have been to Europe on several occasions (Backpacking) and every time I hated it.

[QUOTE=Nyaos;24140911]We can possibly become a bigger tech producer like Japan is but honestly being an industrial giant like China is would destroy our middle class and be honestly ass backwards.[/QUOTE]
All it would take is ONE, ONE fucking spark in China to turn more than half their population against them. They have riots over there every day just over getting Unions for factories.

[QUOTE=bravehat;24141333]Makes sense to cut the supply lines to your enemy and lay seige to them and make them beg for what they need as they starve.[/QUOTE]
As we starve? We produce the most food in the entire world.

Deep down inside every single nation wants to be number one.
I'd much rather listen to a over patriotic American than an over cynical hippy douche who takes every second of his time to rant and rave about how much better the European countries are because he wants to be different.

Also you all are overestimating China you are talking about a country with more than a billion people and the landmass of the United States as well as very few resources.
