Name a nation greater than the US and why

[(° ͡ ͜ ͡ʖ ͡ °) (ᵔᴥᵔʋ)]

You had nothing to do with the war for independence, which you cite as how we “earned” our freedom.

I have fought for my country to protect your freedom.

I feel that emphasis was needed because it seems as though you are failing to see the point. India fought for its independence in 1853 because they wanted what America had, freedom. Unfortunately they lost. After over 90 years of rebellion independence was finally granted to them in 1947. India fought a good fight so I think they deserved it. Which is why you do not see the British monarchy on their currency. Much more than I can say about Canada and Australia

Alright that all seems clear. Following on from this, could you explain how the actions taken by your country's founders over 200 years ago has any impact on the topic of this thread, which is the claim that the US is currently the greatest country?

Just saw all your other posts in this thread. Disregard my post.

"Murica"! That's why. In case people have not noticed I can be a little facetious.

In the revolutionary war? Just how old are you?!

I think it is fair to say that whether you think the United States is great or not, there is no other country in the world you would rather have on your side.

All this talk about the Revolutionary War reminded me of the Sons of Liberty. The Sons of Liberty were nothing more than cowards because they disguised themselves as Mohawk Indians when they dumped the tea into the harbor. They didn't even have the courage to go out and protect as themselves.

I believe they were protesting. Americans did not fight the British dressed like Mohawk Indians. Just out of curiosity, would you consider ANTIFA "cowards" because they disguise themselves during their protests?

Yes, and then they were treated as terrorists, not heroes!

It is historical fact that the Sons of Liberty disguised themselves as Indians while they dumped the English tea into the Boston harbor. The eyewitness accounts referred to the Mohawk Indians and also to the Narragansett Indians. And your intended effort at a Red Herring by mentioning ANIFTA when I was actually talking about the Sons of Liberty disguising themselves isn't worth my time to answer.

Disguise of Sons of Liberty

In an effort to hide their true identities, many of the Sons of Liberty attempted to pass themselves off as Mohawk Indians because if caught for their actions they would have faced severe punishment. Reports from the time describe the participants as dressed as Mohawks or Narragansett Indians. The disguise was mostly symbolic in nature; they knew they would be recognized as non-Indians.

Okay. Let me rephrase my statement. I believe they were protesting. Americans did not fight the British dressed like Mohawk Indians. Just out of curiosity (meaning that I am just curious), would you consider ANTIFA "cowards" because they disguise themselves during their protests?

In an effort to hide their true identities, many KKK and ANTIFA used disguises because if caught for their actions they would have faced severe punishment. @Sparagmos the Sons of Liberty were terrorist just like ANTIFA and the KKK.

Really? Do you really think that people in America kill because they have a gun? Do you think that people buy guns and take them home thinking "Gee, I can't wait to try this thing out on some guys head."? Do you really think that if you take a gun out of the hands of a murderer they will magically change their ways? Of course not. Guns don't kill people, people kill people. And people kill people for various reasons and merely owning a gun is not one of them. The highest levels of gun violence are in cities with the toughest gun laws. Honestly, I think the number one cause of murder in the United States is because the moral depravity created by failed progressive policies. But I am not blaming the progressives. I am blaming the Church and the Christian men and women who have sat idle and made compromises to biblical moral values for the sake of "tolerance" and "acceptance" and allowed this depravity to fester.

The availability of guns makes gun violence more likely simply because it provides an effective means of successfully carrying out a violent act. In a sense the availability of guns encourages their use. Gun availability also increases the 'success' rate for suicide.

Guns act as enablers. Without guns those inclined to violence are less able to do damage and are at a greater risk since defending against an unarmed assailant is more likely.

I suspect that the US is way beyond the point of no return with guns. I'm just thankful Australia had the good sense to put tight limits on gun access.

I never said our country was perfect. But it still is the greatest country on earth and in the history of ever.

All ‘Romes’ eventually fall....and they usually collapse from within...

 

[Allandavid]

All you have to do is ask any immigrant in the United States who became a naturalized citizen and you will hear multiple reasons why America is the greatest country on earth.

That’s funny....many immigrants to my country say the same thing...

 

[Desk trauma]

BECAUSE AMERICA FOUGHT FOR ITS FREEDOM FROM BRITISH OPPRESSION WHILE OTHER COUNTRIES LIKE CANADA AND AUSTRALIA WAITED TO HAVE IT HANDED OVER TO THEM.

We took up arms while other countries achieved the same goal without bloodshed. I don’t see how that’s a mark for our greatest.

 

[98cwitr]

There is no other country that protects speech of the people within its borders, so that's a rather glaring example.

 

[Always in His Presence]

You have no way of knowing that...

By the way...this thread is about how great each country is. You’re painting a very bloodthirsty picture of your country there mate....

Didn’t your country start as a penal colony? Doesn’t your country to this day hold asylum seekers on an off shore island in conditions worse than at our boarder. And hold them there for years?

 

[Speedwell]

I fought for my country to PROTECT your freedom.

I have no doubt that you fought and it is a credit to your courage and personal devotion to our country that you did so. Whether it was actually to protect our freedom is questionable.

The US is the greatest country on earth. In history of ever.

Sure, we have the highest incarceration rate, and the highest homicide rate of any western country, which is due to our society and not because of the prevalence of guns, and our healthcare system is expensive and inefficient, but that doesn't stop us from being the greatest ever because of...reasons.

 

[whatbogsends]

Yeah...its called "Gun Free Zones".

With people having gotten their guns outside of the "Gun Free Zones".

Having gun restrictions in specified areas with nothing physically delineating the boundaries between having those restrictions and not having those restrictions is what makes the areas with restrictions less safe.
