The United States vs The United Kingdom

[QUOTE="l4dak47"]Speaking as a U.S. citizen, all I can say is the U.S. is really, really, really sh*tty in many ways. Postmortem123

What's so bad about it? I've been to the U.S a couple times and it was pretty awesome.

[QUOTE="l4dak47"] Education sucks, healthcare system is woefully bad, our politicians are fvcking god-awful, waaaaay too many fundies in this place, dumb laws, we keep losing more and more rights and freedoms, and I can go on forever. The only thing the U.S. is good at is bombing brown people. Not exactly an honorable thing. l4dak47

Are you really that dense?

[QUOTE="l4dak47"][QUOTE="kingkong0124"] Education is not THAT bad, and anyways we have a different teaching philosophy that focuses more on analysis. Other countries practice rote memorization instead. Healthcare system, I personally think it's fine as I'm not too fond of large wait times, but to each his own. Politicians are bad in all countries but the U.S. is in actuality has a pretty non corrupt govt. Also, *bombing brown people that are terrorists.

Your first statement that religous people are not analytical is an obvious generalization..not going to deal with that, you and I both know that's very stereotypical. And because they care about profits from you, that means they have to offer the best deals so that people can give them money..as opposed to a one size fits all government mandated system. I think the disapproval rating has less to do with corruption and more to do with the fact that congress can't get sh*t done..and for your last statement, I'd suggest searching up the definition of "terrorist" before you make such a bold statement...and no, we don't go around purposely killing innocent civilicians...civilian casualties are always going to happen in wars.

I'm not sure what I've said to deserve the fundamentalist lable in any way shape or form.

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"][QUOTE="l4dak47"] Fvck off fundie. l4dak47

Come on man he aint that bad - sure he's got his faults as we all do, but he's actually pretty nice once you get to know him. His son is an absolute delight too - real nice bloke.

Ah, so I'm finally acting like your god, eh? Should probably start worshiping me now. l4dak47

Fvck off. These are my worshippers.

BOW DOWN BEFORE YOUR GOD

[QUOTE="l4dak47"][QUOTE="kingkong0124"] You're completely disregarding his argument because he believes in God...funny how you are calling God hateful when you are also hateful! Jebus213

We still have some of the top leading research in major fields of science and medicine in the world, so the US is still the greatest.

Because gaining the ability to "critically think" happens overnight...it's a process.

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"] I remember just a couple weeks ago he was actually one of the more caring people towards religion...now under his new persona he's become completely different. Funny how people can change like that in an instant. kingkong0124

l4dak47 needs a hug I think.

[QUOTE="l4dak47"][QUOTE="kingkong0124"] Religion has done so much good to the world it's not even funny...just because something is done in the name of religion does not mean it necessarily is what that religion says....a Black Panther can say he called a white man in the name of MLK...does that mean this is what MLK preached? Btw, newsflash, I'm not a fundie, believe it or not I was not the type of person that went to Church weekly growing up!kingkong0124

[QUOTE="l4dak47"][QUOTE="kingkong0124"] That is based on tradition..note that gays are allowed to live freely and do what they wish with themselves in America, a completely Christian country. Now compare this to India, the Middle East, and China. kingkong0124

[QUOTE="kingkong0124"][QUOTE="l4dak47"] Gays most certainty are not not allowed to live freely. You have preachers calling for their demise and you refuse to give them the same rights as everybody else. Also, all those other nations are religious, except for Chinatoast_burner
