Everywhere I ago people are bashing America.

Maybe people should just stick to the topic instead of just saying stuff about America. I never say anything about any other countries (excluding Iraq) and I want the same. Why can't people just stick to topics and not go into the "It's Americas' fault" and whatnot.

Wicked... don't even have to back my anti-american claims up with proof....

The US is the only first world country without universal health care and has about 50 million people without any cover, in fact the average Cuban has better ACCESS to health care than the average american. People go broke in the US to cover their medical expenses a fact that would course outrage in all other first world countries.

US education standards are behind most other first world nation by massive margins (then again you guys want to teach creationism as science, please can we all return to the dark ages).

US murder rate are only matched by developing world countries and even then the more backwards ones, US death by gun rates are only matched by war zones and more people die in LA by bullets randomly returning to earth than are murdered outright in many first world countries.

CEOs are paid stupidly more than the average worker than any other country, also the US has more fully time employees under the poverty line than any other first world country.

The US has the highest percent of the population in prison than any other first world country, and is one of only handful of countries with sentences minors to death (ie, like Saudi Arabia, Iran, you know F$%&ed up weird countries). I would say that the US is the only first world country that does sentence people to death but I have found out Singapore does too, but they are a weird family run democracy who ban chewing gum.

The US play almost no international team sport but rather invent their own games which are only played in the Olympics internationally. Americans are just shit at sport and play stupid sports.

Lets see, I've covered medicine, education, murder rates, guns, pay, prisons, sports...

Oh... and US beer is watered down cats piss, Bud is the worst beer on the planet, third rate Asian countries make better beer than you guys.

I would thank god for no more negative karma... but I'm an atheist.

Alpha dog tbh. Hard to image why a country that is so evil and wretched when it comes to human rights and living conditions completely dominates the rest of the world with the amount of people that migrate here every year. The truth is in the puddin baby.

The other possibility is that the US is the closest rich country to a bunch of highly impoverished countries. All you can really say about immigration to the US is that the US is better than Mexico, hardly a great achievement.

If the rate of new citizens moving to a country is a measure of geatness, then all hail Canada, the greatest nation on Earth.

The US is merely 8th.

You are quoting your own post as a source?

And to top it off, the stats you list are mostly estimations and exaggerations of the involvement of the US.  Good post.

Try again!  Per capita is not as relevant as total for this particular stat, IMHO.

I like this graph better, shows the true dominance:  http://www.nationmaster.com/red/pie/imm … tizenships

I never realised how much the Irish, Scottish, and English were all just the same thing until I saw that map.  I mean I know you all have bad teeth and the same funny accent but it never clicked with me because you guys spend all your energy trying make people think there is something different about you.  Shit all it takes is one look at the map. 

Wow, my opinion of the Brittish and Scottish just went down a few notches and my opinion of the Irish has over doubled!

Thank God we don't have universal health care.  The last thing I want is a bunch of lazy pieces of shit leeching off the government because they didn't work as hard as me or aren't as successful as me.  Not only that, but I refuse to pay for someone else's medical bills.  I don't smoke cigarettes so why should I have to pay for the lung problems of someone who does?  It's a dog-eat-dog world... if you can't bring home the bread to look after yourself, you suffer.  It weeds out the weak ones.

Oh, and
