Name a nation greater than the US and why

[Tom 1]

Maybe a 'what are the best things about the US'? Thread would work better? My list would start with the amazing output of great films and literature. Then the diverse cuisine.

Well, Germany wouldn't be the shining gem of Europe if the United States hadn't rebuilt it from the ground up in our image after we practically destroyed it. So check and mate. I will say you do have a very tasty chocolate cake. But I wonder how long Germany can afford all those entitlements if it actually paid its dues to NATO and stop depending on the United States for its defense.

Edit: Just did a quick google search and discovered that Germany is having their own financial problems and issues with poverty. Apparently those entitlements that make Germany so "great" is fiscally unsustainable. I guess by your standards of "greatness", Germany is struggling and the things that made Germany "great" is contributing to its financial collapse.

But maybe the United States should be more like France. They are doing it right...right?

Ooops! Apparently France has a worse homeless problem than America does.

But with all that money from Europe's economic superiority they should be able to afford all their entitlements...right?

A great example of finding the one example doing worse than you to keep your beacon shining bright.

If the US had a rubric that was relevant to 2010 and not 1960s folks would be disturbed I think. Likely though you won't ever see that because capitalism, like all isms tends to hide how it is a disservice to a society.

Ireland, because it’s beautiful and it’s people are so friendly and so laid back, and that’s what really matters.

Can you address any of my points with your own words or do you need others to make arguments for you?

I think we all know the answer to that one.
