What's the BEST thing your country has ever done.

[QUOTE="alexmurray"][QUOTE="The_Mac_Daddy"][QUOTE="alexmurray"][QUOTE="The_Mac_Daddy"]

USA.

Whooped the british's asses and sent them running home to mommy in the revolutionary war.

Liberated europe in WWI and WWII.

Democracy.

Made the "American Dream" possible.

The_Mac_Daddy

I dont see how that helped the world

Well, first of all, it started what is now the USA. That would have been the best thing *MY* country has done.. who said anything about the rest of the world?

Not to mention, the USA has helped the world so much.. so the start of it (revolutionary war) did help the world in the future. If we didn't whoop yalls asses way back when, yall might be speaking german right now. Consider it a blessing.

if the baton of power hadn't been passed to the US it would have gone elsewhere. and why do you think something that happened 300 years ago is insulting.

I honestly didn't.. but u and jointed took it as an insult in another thread so I figured I'd use it again to push your buttons.

I just know, I'm living in the USA right now, went swimming in my pool, then ate a full home cooked meal a little while ago, worked out on my home gym inside of my 3,000 square foot house and am now watching the USA on the podium getting their 80 something medal of the olympics on my big lcd tv. I'll be sleeping sound tonight knowing I'll be safe here, because we got the nukes.

and so does Britain;)

Canada:

Essentially winning the Cold War by beating the Soviets in the 1972 Summit Series. If Paul Henderson didn't score that goal, we'd all be speaking Russian.

Jesus Christ :|

This thread...needs to die.

Democracy existed in other countries before US was even thought of, Greece for example.

Also to all my fellow Americans, the US did not win WW2. The Allies won WW2 which consisted primarily of US, British Commonwealth, USSR and an assortment of other countries. To say the US won WW2 is an ignorant statement.

Why am I even trying I bet most of my countrymen think english was invented in the US.

To show how stupid some people are here (I am sure every country has their idiots) I was talking to a co-worker and mentioned Russia invaded Georgia and he looked really concerned. He said he had family in Georgia, I then became concerned for him. I asked him where at they live and he said... Savannah near South Carolina.

OLOL, Soviets dominated the series though. And you can't deny that.

I'm sure you would love some of the many "alternatives" to democracy/ modern day government.

Not really...but what has that got to do with anything? It's not as if I was dissing democracy.

It sure seemed like you were. What's with the picture and the laughing face then?

I was laughing at the fact that he put "democracy" on his list, as if the US created it.

I'm not taking sides, but modern democracy was an American development, remember 'Teh Revolutionary War?' I do agree with you, though, about modern America. Rags to riches never works in the U.S. And neither does this 'American Dream.'

bull****. I know many people who lived the American dream. My parents have an Iranian friend who arrived in America with 100 bucks in his pocket after living in several other "free" countries. He now makes millions owning dentist offices. My cousin was always a poor boy growing up in Louisiana, and now he pitches in the major leagues making millions. My uncle was never really wealthy, didnt even finish high school, and he owns his own business here in houston selling louisiana style food.. making six figures. My great uncle didn't finish college and enlisted in the marines. After that, he opened up a restaurant called "southhside cafe" in layfette louisiana, makes a good living.

And this is just off the top of my head.

Yeah, we're both great. There is a reason we have your flag on ours.

Some of the best living is in the south. Things are cheap here. I can get a home here for about 200,000 dollars that would cost about 2 million in california. The "best place to live" in the united states was sugarland, texas. Guess where that is? right across town. Outskirts of Houston has been voted the best places to live in the United States. don't kid yourself.

WRONG. Ok, I thought it was the best place, but it was the third best city to live. Sorry. And, it wasn't the 4th fattest city, it was the FITTEST city in Texas. Get your facts straight:

Sugar Land holds the title of "Fittest City in Texas" for the population 50,000–100,000 range, a title it has held for four consecutive years.

In 2006 CNN/Money and Money magazine ranked Sugar Land third on its list of the 100 Best Cities to Live in the United States. Sugar Land's median family income is $103,841 [4]

In 2007, CQ Press has ranked Sugar Land fifth on its list of Safest Cities in the United States (14th annual "City Crime Rankings: Crime in Metropolitan American"). [5]

In 2008, Forbes.com selected Sugar Land along with Bunker Hill Village and Hunters Creek Village as one of the three Houston-area "Top Suburbs To Live Well," noting its affluence despite its large population.

The best thing this country has ever done is not completely fall apart after decades upon decades of being ruled by nothing but corrupt and incompetent governments and the greedy catholic church and media that pretty much dictate what is acceptable/desirable for society and render the lower social classes brainless.

It's pretty sad really...

Edit: Just remembered (how stupid), mexican food is AWESOME, anyone that's ever tried it knows this, so I guess that's the best thing we've done for the world (and ourselves).
