What kind of question is that? Of course, but that wouldn't happen at least not in the forseeable future.

If America turns into a 3rd World Country, then many if not all Western Nations would probably follow suit.

id like you all to know that all americans are not like this.

also i dont think the US will become a third world country in a long time. our economy sucks right now, but so does the economy pretty much all over the world.

but if i had to choose, i would go somewhere in western europe. probably the UK or germany.

I don't see any way that the United States could become a third world country unless something so ridiculously catastrophic happened that the entire rest of the world went down with it, in which case moving would be rather pointless (and possibly impossible, depending on the circumstances).

America is verging on 3rd-world status with it's debt. I already moved, so I couldn't give a rat's backside.

Would move to the Netherlands or the UK......

Honestly looking at the UK regardless if this happens because of our education system. Don't really want to shell out tons of money to send my children to private school and still get a lack luster educatio for them.

You're incorrect my good sir. The USA is nothing without Canada. We're fighting in Afghanistan without America, because they decided to go to Iraq. We beat America in 1812, so that's sufficient enough proof that America needs Canada.

Last time I checked, America bailed out of Afghanistan and went to Iraq. Correct me with links if I'm wrong. Canada's military is still at the top. We have C7 rifles, which put M16's or whatever weapon America uses to shame.

For the record, posting blatantly false information that a cursory attention to the news would refute is something I'm not hesitant to moderate as trolling. Please stop trolling Americans; this is not exactly the first time you've done this and it's getting a little tiresome.

Good show. It seemed that they all went to Iraq, from what I saw. And could you show me proof of "trolling Americans"? I can't seem to recall.

EDIT:

Canada still has the top of the line weapons and gear. M16's are crap compared to C7's.

Vilot_Hero

You continually post false information such as the above, and you continually assert the idea that Canada is militarily superior to America. There are only two options: either you actually believe that or you're just saying that to get a reaction. To be perfectly frank, giving you the benefit of the doubt would entail making the latter conclusion.

Do you know the C7 specs? Compared to the M16? I'll be glad to post them. Not all of my information is incorrect, but some of it may be a stretch. How is giving incorrect information "trolling", when It could be the correct answer?

Rifles are all good and what not, but what does Canada have to answer to the F-22 Raptor? How about thousands of nuclear bombs?? Im not into glorifying militance at all, but c'mon you cant seriously believe that Canada holds a stick to America in military capabilities.

It doesn't matter if America has larger numbers. Canada has the best military training(Higher than Americas), and that means the troops would be better trained when dealing with life death situations(Viola war!).

The rotating bolt is the weakness. Having a gas operated reloading system, is more efficient than a rotating bolt system. While other specs beat it by very little, I would still think the C7 is better.

Yes. If the lugs or clips break inside the mechanism, than you would have to take apart the gun, where solely the gas reloading system would take less time to repair(If it does break, but I doubt It).

You continually post false information such as the above, and you continually assert the idea that Canada is militarily superior to America. There are only two options: either you actually believe that or you're just saying that to get a reaction. To be perfectly frank, giving you the benefit of the doubt would entail making the latter conclusion.

Do you know the C7 specs? Compared to the M16? I'll be glad to post them. Not all of my information is incorrect, but some of it may be a stretch. How is giving incorrect information "trolling", when It could be the correct answer?

C7

|cartridge=[[5.56x45mm NATO]]
|feed=Various [[STANAG magazine|30-rd STANAG magazines]].
|action=[[Gas-operated reloading|Gas-operated]], [[rotating bolt]]
|rate=700-800 rounds/min
|velocity=925 m/s

M16

|cartridge=[[5.56x45mm NATO]]
|feed=Various [[STANAG Magazine]]s
|action=[[Gas-operated]], [[rotating bolt]]
|rate=800-900 rounds/min, cyclic depending on model
|velocity= 975 m/s(M16A1)
930 m/s (M16A2)

The rotating bolt is the weakness. Having a gas operated reloading system, is more efficient than a rotating bolt system. While other specs beat it by very little, I would still think the C7 is better.

Does it matter in the slightest bit?

Yes. If the lugs or clips break inside the mechanism, than you would have to take apart the gun, where solely the gas reloading system would take less time to repair(If it does break, but I doubt It).

No what I mean is does it matter which gun is slightly better than the other?

And could you show me proof of "trolling Americans"? I can't seem to recall.

It could mean life and death to a soldier. I'll let you decide. Personally I would want a slightly better gun, because you would never know if it could save your life.

You're incorrect my good sir. The USA is nothing without Canada. We're fighting in Afghanistan without America, because they decided to go to Iraq. We beat America in 1812, so that's sufficient enough proof that America needs Canada.Vilot_Hero

1. The war of 1812 was between the US and The British Empire. It was almost 200 years ago since then? You are more than welcome to try again without British backing.

2. We are still in Afghanistan

3. The trade between the USA and Canada is about $365 billion a year, thats thats 28.7% and only 2.6% of ours. We stop trade thats a depression for you and a minor recession for us. Thats sufficient enough proof that you need us a lot more than we need you. Which we don't.

Rifles are all good and what not, but what does Canada have to answer to the F-22 Raptor? How about thousands of nuclear bombs?? Im not into glorifying militance at all, but c'mon you cant seriously believe that Canada holds a stick to America in military capabilities.

It doesn't matter if America has larger numbers. Canada has the best military training(Higher than Americas), and that means the troops would be better trained when dealing with life death situations(Viola war!).

I wasn't talking about the volume of the military I was speaking to the quality of the equipment we use, just like you, only I chose to mention something more than rifles. Dont get me wrong war is wrong and should be avoided unless you HAVE to protect your citizens from an attack. I appreciate Canada and have nothing against Canada, but when it comes down to it America has spent more money on our military (whether or not I agree with that) than any other country. Americas fighter jets and tanks and bombs would insantly negate, a very mild at best, advantage in rifle capabilities. If you want to consider numbers China could take over the world regardless of weapon quality or levels of training. Canadas not known for unfounded blind pride, why bring that generalization upon them?

America has the best trained soliders in the world, and the numbers also show the M16 is faster than the C7. But other than that they are the same gun.

1)The British Empire was in Canadian territory, and ruled by Canadian leaders/monarchy. Which makes it Canadian. Everyone would agree with that.

2)I made a little error on my statement.

3)Canada wouldn't go into a depression...Do you know how good the economy is here? It's very good(Aside from America's debt problems, which caused an economic crisis).

Proof that America has the best trained troops? Last time I checked, Canada was ranked higher than America.

1. :lol: Stop taking credit for what happened while Canada was apart of the british empire.

2. :lol:

3. So you could lose 28.7% of your GDP and not go into a depression? :lol:
