is the United States the center of the world?

[QUOTE="sSubZerOo"]No, outside of military prowess the US is behind in just about every way compared to our European neighbors when it comes to things like education, health, etc etc.Fightingfan

Europe is only slightly bigger than the US mind you.

[QUOTE="Miroku32"][QUOTE="Ilovegames1992"]

Western world probably. But that's probably because it's one of the biggest countries in the world. Well its a continent actually.

Ilovegames1992

Its the size of one pretty much, yes.

Bearing in mind most of North America is the US then i think its safe to say it pretty much is no?

[QUOTE="Miroku32"] I'm sorry, must be misunderstanding you but are you saying the US is a continent? Miroku32

Yeah China and Russia should pretty much be continents of their own...

According to wiki America is bigger than Brazil.

And Canada is pointless as a country so it doesn't matter what you do. May as well just merge it with America.

Not only is the US the center of the world but we have the best country in the history of the world. We are by far not perfect but much better then most of the world.

What was the last world changing thing that we invented that spread knowledge throughout the world like never before...oh, that's right---the internet and the first personal computer. That's to name a couple. Yeah, but the US sucks amirite?

Before you bash the US ask yourself what the last major thing was that your country did even in the ballpark of inventions like the internet, pc or even the automobile, airplanes, light bulbs, cable tv, supersonic flight, radio carbon dating, the atomic clock, gps and so on.

junglist101

yes because who needs things like medicine when you have the internet...

/sarcasm

you seem to have missed the point, you claim the USA to be the greatest nation ever because they invented the internet, sorry to have stopped at medicine i could have thrown in the navy or more general science, or gone further and thrown in say aquaducts

id love to have seen the USA rock up in india or china and say "we invented the internet, you are now our colony" or even when the original european settlers came over wouldnt it have been cool if native americans could have said "we dont need you here, we have cable tv"

:roll: greatest nation ever my left bollock

The phrase "stood on the soldiers of giants" will never be more applicable.

Yes but we are a country made up of every other country.

We're not better than everybody else.

We ARE everybody else.

A couple things --

1. It's okay to think you're nation is the best in the world, and to be proud of your country
2. Anti-American sentiments are foolish, the ultimate useless generalizationmusicalmac
