Greatest Nation on Earth to ever exist?

[QUOTE="swizz-the-gamer"] Is that all you can say? Seems to be your only defense for America.
The_Ish

I never made that defense. Pay attention to my posting history. You also missed the point. As always.

Either you or another one of the million blindly patriotic Americans on this site.

Nice insult and gross exaggeration. You're really helping your (lack of) arguments out here.

Then there is no point to post in here, unless you need to take a jab at the US specifically. Which would be trolling, even if you claim that a lot of Americans are posting the US as their choice. In fact, that would mean you were specifically trying to troll.

there are plenty of others here who have named their own nations as the greatest nation in the world. The fact that you're in an American site, with largely American users, who are part of a country with over 300 million Americans in it, shows you're ignorance. Of course more Americans will name their country in an American site. What, did you expect this to be different if this website was part of a different nation?

no but they are right i wouldnt say its a gross exaggeration, its easy to say americas the greatest nation ever but wheres the evidence to back it up?krakhore

Industrialization of cars, industrialization of planes, refining the turbine engine, the most medical advancements out of any country in the past 100 years, some of the best post-secondary schools in the world, nuclear power, computers, one of the strongest and biggest economies in the world, breaking the sound barrier, the Internet, the most advanced space programs...I could keep going on, in more detail, if you like. You'd be incredibly ignorant to think the US hasn't contributed more to the world more in the last century than any other nation.

People who happen to live on the giant bit of dirt named America have made great discoveries and changed the world. That does not mean the government can do what it wants.

Where did I imply that? Or are you projecting slide-shows out of habit?

My first thoughts are "Grammar" and "Punctuation". I was interested to read your rebuttal, but I can't, since the lack of Grammar and Punctuation makes it unreadable. :?

Well, that doesn't necessarily = great nation. A great nation to me, is one that can take care of it's own citizens whilst not hurting those of other nations...directly or indirectly. But the mentioned perspective is of course subjective...

not only is britian a leading country in science but also art, some of the finest poets and witers hail from britian and weve had a few decent painters also, only decent american writer t s elliot who actually left america to become a british citizen lolkrakhore

ermm computers that was turing an english man

No. Completely wrong.

i combustion engine and jet engine erm british

Wrong again. I never mentioned the combustion engine, which was not created by the British anyways (some other people), and I also never mentioned the jet engine, which has been around for far longer than Britain itself has. I specifically said the US refined the turbo engine. Which it did.

who revolutionised industry i think that was actually britian

Hurray for reading comprehension! I said the US industrialized planes and automobiles before anyone else, and they did. You might also be interested to know that the US actually did revolutionalize industrialization when the Ford company implemented their factory concepts into making the Model T Ford, the first industrialized car. Hurray for historical knowledge too, I guess.

some of the best secondary schools in the world where u learn that lol nuclear power erm british russian italian

Yes, go check on google, and look at the top post-secondary schools in the world.

manhatten project came after britians advancements in atomic theory

No, it came 100 years after someone thought up atomic theory. And besides, your point is irrelevent. It's like saying "The Muslims thought up Algebra, which made further mathematical advances later on useless, so they are useless and insignificant!". The argument is devoid of thought, intelligence, or context, and labels any progress in anything insignificant because "someone else made the foundation or you could not have done that without this person".

i would say antibiotics and vacinations are the most important medical break thrus and gues wot they were made by the british and as i said before

I said in the last century, and guess what, both were Chinese inventions.It was the Germans who made it a science. ;)

americas economy isnt that strong

It is one of the strongest economies in the world, the second largest after the entire EU.Recessions happen all the time, and the effects the one the US is suffering from now is grossly exaggerated.

i think u are the ignorant 1 as most american advancments came from british advancements

Check my 5th response. :lol:

oh ye the jet engine is older than britian erm 1707 ithink england ireland scotland and wales united so the jet engine is over 300 yrs old........

Wrong again, the jet engine has been around since the times of Alexander the Great.Let me introduce you to the Aeolipile...

really are u sure and u said america had some of the best secondary schools, obviously urs wasnt

Nice insult there. Insults really do help when you are running out of even invalid arguments. :lol:

and all the other stuff read up u are wrong turing is the father of modern computing

Wrong again. It was a mother, by the way. And she was an American. Go ask any Computer Science major. :lol:

alex fleming did discover penicillin.

That is one antibiotic, not antibiotics in general.

lol jet engine older than britian so funny................

LOL. Fail. :|

There is none. For some reasons humans are only interested in ranking things and sitting around talking about what's better than something else. What is it with our obessesion to order everything based on silly ideas?EMOEVOLUTION

Britain.

We made the African slave trade wholesale and I believe are credited with using the first ever concentration camp during the Boer Wars. Hitler cited Britain while trying to convince his fellows that it was a good idea.

Oh and there was all that stuff about spreading democratic government, trade infrastructure and the judicial process to an enormous chunk of the planet as well as (eventually) pioneering the anti-slavery movement by blocking American ships from reaching Africa.
