Are we still the greatest nation?

[Lurker66]

Sounds like the early 80's. I think its just a cycle, used to be USSR, Japan. Now its India and China.

Neither of them countries can match our natural resources. Boil it down and a country or nation that can sustain itself with its own natural resources will be the most reliable and perhaps the greatest.

But we are too damned PC to use our own natural resources.

i think thats a good thing. If we use up the rest of the world stuff, then we will be the only ones with anything. Then we can rule the world and make them bow to our every whim.

Of course im being sarcastic. But i have studied "The Leviathan" and the scarcity of resources idea.

Travel the world then come back and give an answer.

Statistical data doesn't mean much until it affects you on a personal level.

With that said, I don't think America is the best country on the planet but I don't believe there is a best country on the planet. They all have their positives and negatives.

For me the obvious answer is the country with the largest percentage of hot, sexy women per capita.

Where have you been? Haven't seen you in a while.

Out and about. Living the adventure that is life.

For the record, I'd freely give up my right to "bear arms" to live a slower, simpler life on a kick as beach somewhere in the Caribbean or French Polynesia.

Even with South Africa's horrendous crime problem and having visited there twice in the past few years for extended periods. I'd even seriously consider it. If there were an offer on the table, I'd take it. But I do have family there, so it's a bit different for me.

How can we be the greatest nation? We have children and elderly starving.

But your party keeps wanting to cut social services and lower taxes on bastards like me.
