other countrys are other countrys - theyre all different. its like trying to argue which is better; blue or red.

i got to the same conclusion when trying to compare us or uk with somalia
[no offense somali peeps]

To be fair, for a rapist and/or Islamic fundamentalist I don't think the answer would be so clear-cut. tee hee.

[grimesceneinvestigation]

don't you mean the United States of America?
that's not really the same thing as "America"

America


United States of America

one love is a lesbien and fyi ive probably traveled around the world more than you ever will you poor fuck

Yeah I bet you did, in your truckers cap chanting U-S-A, U-S-A while demanding several Vietnamese children carry your fat arse from fast-food outlet to fast-food outlet.

Go on then, what exactly makes America 'teh best country evaaa'

we could fuck you up thats why
we are richer than you thats why
we are more diverse than you thats why
we are ten times the size of you thats why
we have more natural resources than you thats why
we invented hip hop thats why
and we are proud of our country for all those reasons ya tnuc

You live in an overly aggressive country which does whatever it likes to get its own way.
A very tiny proportion of the population is wildly richer than the rest. Believe it or not, that isn't wealth.
America has some of the most intolerant groups in the world residing in it, which all hate each other.
Wow, you're big. I'm pretty sure someone at some point will have told you that size doesn't matter.
You waste more natural resources than most, if not all other countries.
America didn't invent hip hop, individuals did. I believe it was also born out of the oppression of African Americans by white America.
Quite a lot of you are blind to the isssues in your country.

Oh yeah... and you speak our language.
There are problems with every country and I should add that I don't have a problem with America at all, just the attitudes of some people living there.

[gwa]

thats more society issues tho no?

i'm talking about the deeep deeep shit, corporate tings

No, America can be used to describe the continent or the country. Silly.

I'll still follow Alfredo Jaar on this one though.

[rbnc]

I'll still follow the Dictionary on this one though. teehee.

[grimesceneinvestigation]

my point comes from "america" being missused as to only refer to the usa.
since i was a child people have concidered me to be "south american" (you see, the difference is only being made when we're NOT talking about the usa) and therefor i take an opposite stance.

[grimesceneinvestigation]

and a big fuck you to everyone from the usa putting themselves in a victim role all the time aswell

[alien pimp]

I'll still follow the Dictionary on this one though. teehee.

pinocchio, swear on your dick you never refer to us as "america"

[firky]

This is cool. Set up two countries to have pointless arguments against each other.

Who should we do next, Germany vs Poland, Turkey vs Cyprus?

[hackman]

israel and palestine?

[2manynoobs]

maybe we should all just relax and listen to John Lenon:

"What if there were no country's?"

Oh John, you had so much more to do. tragic end.

He was born in England and spent a lot of time in the US.

point made, close thread ty bb
uk > us, we all know it

[rbnc]

Sense: that made none.

[hackman]

tbh im ashamed to be british but id be way more ashamed to be american
