Why America Rules
Too much anti-American bullshit on this board, so lets set the record straight.
The USA is the world?s largest source of humanitarian aid ? $15.8billion ? almost 2x as much as #2 Japan (These figures do not include aid to Afghanistan, Iraq or world food aid, which the United States is the largest contributor.)
We have the most nobel prize winners (270), more than 2.5x that of #2 UK
2nd largest number of internet users 159,000,000 (206,032,067 for the whole European Union). We are the #1 country with the most computers ? almost 4x that of #2 Japan All you motherfuckers do business with US Customers.
We have 97% literacy
4th largest labor force
2nd largest exports ? $714,500,000,000
Largest imports - $ 1,260,000,000,000
Everyone likes to comment on how we spend too much money on the military, but we're only 37th per capita.
We have 269 billionaires ? close to 10x that of #2 Japan.
We have the #2 highest per-capita income
We are #2 most visited by tourists.
If Americans are so stupid, why is it we have the world's most university students, almost 3x that of #2 India, almost 5x that of #3 Japan
Largest GDP in the world (the value of all final goods and services produced within a nation in a given year)
Largest GDP (nominal) which is the GDP nominalized based on currency exchange rates
the United States was ranked as the third most visited tourist destination in the world
IMD International: World Competitiveness Yearbook 2004, Rank 1 out of 60 economies (countries and regions)
Rank 2 out of 104 countries by the UNDP: Human Development Index 2004
Rank 8 out of 177 countries Save the Children: State of the World?s Mothers 2004
Rank 10 out of 119 countries Transparency International: Corruption Perceptions Index 2004,
Rank 17 out of 146 countries (tied with Belgium and Ireland) Reporters without borders: Third annual worldwide press freedom index (2004)
It is time for all the anti-americans out there to stop with their bullshit xenophobia. When your piddlyshit little country is #1 in something other than sucking off our teats, you can start blabbing your gums. Until then, shut the fuck up.
