            That might be true, but money isn't the only indicator of the "wealth" of a country.

            The US isn't perfect, but I think it's worst problem is believing that it is. That belief causes complacency which results in cultural stagnation. Admiting we aren't perfect, makes us work hard toward becoming "perfect".

                I knew that you guys would try to bash Brazil instead of standing for your countyr... That's just lousy and proves my point...
                Im from europe and live in Canada so what point does it prove? If I had to choose between living in the US or a third world country you're damn right I'd choose the US any day.

                    If you haven't seen a fair proportion of the world then you have no right to an opinion about which country/countries are the best.

                    Also, for those quoting GDP per capita figures, those statistics are meaningless without figuring in cost of living.

                          Lots of first world countries deal with refugees and illegal immigration.

                          Here in Australia we get boatloads of people from South East Asia almost daily.

                                One problem is probably the whole melting pot thing dosent really work.

                                Wheras you look at countrys with a more homogenous population and see them advancing faster, Japan, China, some scandinavian and european ones.


                                Another problem is the sensationalism of the media. A jerry springer type mentality, and political correctness out of control.


                                Country divided too much politcally. There used to be a time when people did the right thing and made the right choices, and not based on such partisan thinking.

                                The people that make 30 Bush threads a day will look the other way no matter what Kerry does. And a lot on the right will look the other way no matter what Bush does.

                                There desperately needs to be a legitimate independent candidate, and not just some kook like Nader.

                                very nicely said, now THAT was worth reading.

                                    Are you claiming that as your own too?

                                    I'm sure the English will be impressed.

                                            I guess Luxemborg is a better place to live than the US. But Brazil is clearly a piece of shit.
                                            I like that load of stats - it really proves something???? If so, what??

                                            The majority of GDP of Luxemborg belongs to other nations - the same with the US, same with Bermuda, same with Caymen blah...

                                            The first "real" GDP figure that does not rely on "imported money/investment" to stay alive seems to be Norway.

                                            And no, it does not mean that "a better place to live" may be Luxemborg - or the US. What the fuck has a load of GDP figures got to do with a lifestyle??

                                            Oh hell ... na don't answer that .. it's bound to have come of the "simple syndrome" in the US

                                            BTW... Brasil has a lot to offer - it's clear you have no clue. And... there is no such thing, to use the banal terminology, of a "shit country" - that crap only comes from the mouths of the ignorant.

                                              The US isn't perfect, but I think it's worst problem is believing that it is. That belief causes complacency which results in cultural stagnation. Admiting we aren't perfect, makes us work hard toward becoming "perfect".
                                              Thank you! And that's why I started this thread... Some idiot had started a thread saying that the US is the greatest and most perfect country in the world!

                                                    Are you claiming that as your own too?

                                                    I'm sure the English will be impressed.

                                                    Impressed?? NOT!

                                                    Maybe some basic English classes are appropriate. Let's start with basic spelling.. then move on to cure some of that diabolical "non English" lingo
