Whine & Cheese

I'm sorry, WHAT? Former? Who the heck is better than the US?We live in the greatest country the world has even seen. We have flaws, sure, who doesn't, but in all fairness we are the best.Also note that "The US" extends to those nations who's entire economy depend on us.- Oni

Norway? Puleaseee. I had to look them up on a globe, I forgot they even exist.Norway couldn't kick our ass ever. How many fighter planes do they have? I won't argue with you that Americans are fat and lazy, live shorter lives because of it, and are completely stressed out...especially when there's a long line at the drive-thru.But the US in terms of being a super power and holding a global ranking is far superior than a country as tiny and irrelevant as Norway.- Oni

I got one criteria: who wins in a fight.US of A. Dispute that if you want, you're wrong.Franko's list doesn't include amount of celebrities, amount of fighter planes, size of military, freedoms, etc.Lets all move to slovenia, yeah ok. His list includes things like greeness, crime, prison population, ALL things the US doesn't look good at due to OVER POPULATION of immigrants from all the other countries on the list, including slovenia.The US is the best country in the world. I can say that proudly.- Oni

No fair on this one though. You don't have the amount of fast food places we have, thus you have healthier, skinnier people living in your country who tend to get sick less. Your healthcare system can include EVERYONE and look better on paper.Ours can't. Can you imagine what kind of medical requirements are needed to take care of these over weight slobs? I wouldn't live in those other countries if they were MINT green. I'll enjoy a drive through the good ole USA in my SUV, thank you very much. I'm not sold on the whole "importance" of going green anyway. Tell Peru and Uruguay to come get their people out of our country and lets see how low our homicide rankings go.In fact, tell every South American country to come get their people and lets see how low our rakings drop then!I'm sure if we did a proper cleansing we'd be pretty close to #1. That's how sore lossers breakdown a catagory.Just add up TOTAL AMOUNT. Period. And of course, we win. This is irrelevant.- OniEdited by onifre, : No reason given.

Probably? Oh come on, you can say it.Bin Laden, Hussein, Ghaddafi - who killed those guys? Slovenia? Latvia? Peru? No sir, the US did. And hey rest of the world, you're welcome. To be honest, I wouldn't mind terribly if we fell under a Chinese government. Have you seen those guys? They're shreded!But that probably won't happen for another 15 years. I'll take that as you saying what I said, we're the best country in the world. Look, how can I say this and not sound like a dick... It's that celebrities are artist and that makes them special. So you can hate Beiber, but you know him and he doesn't know you. Who wins that exchange? 21 of the 25 most deadliest snakes live in Australia... no thanks. Don't honey badgers live there too? Fuck that, honey badgers don't care. Good one!- Oni

There is zero proof of that. Except for that whole nasty civil war between themselves over three words in the Koran. Yeah, those are reasonable people who should be left alone and ignored.As for hating us, I doubt we can change that opinion when the rest of the world has (even if they won't admit it) some envy of the US and it's celebrities and overall image. It's not our fault, that's just the culture these days. Um, she's on tv. So yeah. The Kardashinas are the least of your worries when it comes to kids. Happy Meals should worry you more. I just can't believe that's true. I see people at football games on tv, they are happy as shit! Old people too. With season passes. Happy, old people, watching football in great seats. You're telling me other countries have that? I didn't think so. But that's how you rank a country, by it's military power and overall control. So it should make you proud actually. No one in the US is struggling to eat, believe me.- Oni

Hearsay mostly. But as far as wiki goes, there is zero tangible evidence. Liberal media propaganda.Ask the Iraqi citizens that we liberated if we were bullies, or the Afghans when we killed the Taliban, or the miners from Chille when we saved their ass, if we are bullies.A lot of people like to use the term bully way too freely. The US doesn't just invade a country willie nillie and push people around, we aren't Iran or Syria. Sometimes you have to kick a little butt to change the way people behave, but not all the time. I mean, how else do you propose we make middle easterners think like us? Ask them nicely? Don't be silly. She's a model, can dance, has her own clothing line and fragrance, sings too... What else does one need to do to be an artist? She's been rewarded with a tv show for a reason. Networks don't make mistakes. Yeah, it's chaos! I wouldn't compare that to watching a game at Soldier Field. I look around, I just don't see who is unhappy. Polls or not, go to a bar, everyone is having a good time watching a game on tv. Go to any one of the malls in the US, they're FULL. People aren't shopping like that if they're not happy.Why would anyone want to commit suicide when they could hit an Applebees during happy hour and really enjoy themselves? It's a simple ranking system. You don't need a bunch of polls and surveys of people or HUGE economical studies, or healthcare studies, etc... It's like football, the team who beats everyone is the Super Bowl champion. And this year it won't be the Packers.So just imagine every other country in the world is the Green Bay Packers and the US is the NY Giants. Simple. For a country with not a lot of friends we sure have a lot of people around the world asking for hand outs. I just jogged by a Mc Donalds, believe ME they're NOT struggling.- Oni

You would love him in the gym. Great workout partner. Listen buck-o, you don't want to tangle with the likes of me, not these days especially. My squat presses alone would make you quiver in fear. New York is a great city, but you know what's a great city too? Alabama and Georgia.- Oni

Yeah, but I'm talking factual stuff. Not nonsense from who knows what website. The Daily Show and every god damn writer on that staff...bunch of elitist if you ask me. All the writers on Colbert's show, South Park, basically everything on TV is liberal. Their answer would be emotional rather than logical, so I wouldn't consider it.But if you ask the one's we liberated they'll say we're not bullies. I highly doubt that. You tell any country you're American, they see dollar signs! You'll be treated with respect in most any place. Not the middle east of course, or at least not in all of the middle east, but it'll take 2 years to change that opinion if we vote the right way come November. You're making stuff up now. This is conspiracy nonsense.We invade when they're a threat to the US and our way of life. Because it's the right way to think. She acts in front of the camera, stop being a hater, she's an artist. That's not true. Um, your math is screwy. The Giants beat the shit out of the Packers, thus they beat the 15 teams the Packers beat during the regular season. They shouldn't be there anyway so they're actually winning.- Oni

Hit the nail on the head. Well said. Huge emphasis on 'regime'. Exceptions can always be sited (you spelled it right the first time) but you're right, it shouldn't be cause for removing the US of A from numero uno.The problem is, nationalism and patriotism are "not cool" these days, and so it's become all the rave to hate on us. But let a problem anywhere arise, who do they call? Not the ghostbusters. The US of A. And in ALL cases we resolve the issue and leave the place better than it was.- OniEdited by onifre, : No reason given.

I heard a fact today, it said you're right about the fact that I appreciate the good life the US of A has afforded me.These brits won't get it because they're too busy being socialists.- Oni

Former? Um, I don't find that to be a valid source. He may have gotten fired for lying about this very subject. I'll just assume he did. No, that would be the liberal NEWS. Media is any source of, well, media. And ALL sources of media in the US are either gay, liberal or jewish...but always wrong. Especially the jews. Well there's a problem, mine is right. Yours is just plain wrong. This is the ONLY way I see it going down in a way that works. As far as the rest of the world's opinion of us, HA! They better keep it to themselves if they know what's good for them. Which has now changed to burgers and tacos. (See all the fatties) And my point stands, they beat EVERYBODY, including themselves.The US of A is the best cause we could destroy any country, including our own!- Oni

We hold ourselves to a higher standard than the rest of the world, you should know that. Just look at our version of The Office compared to yours.So while they may want to be at the level of our poor class, and believe me that's where we want them to stay, we cannot as Americans use that as OUR standard.We are better than them and should not only realize we are, but remind them we are on a daily basis by complaining that we want more at the cost of every other country having less.- Oni

Holy mothereffing shits! [*BLINK*] You did not just say that?What runs for 7 years? I don't know, a successful TV show?Better actors, deeper involvement in the characters, deeper plots, much more loavble characters, and for christ sake Steve Carell is better than that no talent, wanna-be edgy, snaggle toothed hack that Gevais is.Even Gervais thinks so. The only good thing Gervais did was loose weight.ALL American shows beat british shows. What's next, someone is going to come out in defense of the IT Crowd or Downton Abbey? Kill yourselves.- Oni

Now you're getting it. But I have a sneaking suspicion that you're being sarcastic. For shame, Straggler.I'll just have to hope that you're being genuine and have seen the errors of your thinking. Agreed. Absolutely true. With one exception of course, and that's athletes. The, for obvious reasons, best members of our society. No fatties, and that makes the US look good. So now it's Buz, Phat, Straggler and myself with the same opinion of the American dream. If we could only get Dronester.Our team is growing guys!- Oni
