OP, stop being smartass.

edit: i voted no because i never liked bush when he got elected to become our next president. his duties since his arrival in the white house are horrible. even worse than i thought would be better than former president clinton.

Greatest civiliation and country there has ever been. Our country has it all. Don't know many other places where you have this kind of diversity in terms of climate/conditions plus the freedom to enjoy it.

We're not called the land of opportunity for nothing.

I disagree, Roman, Persian-Midean, and Greek empires also had very diverse cultures due to the vast minorities that they were composed of. Doesn't mean they were the greatest.

You've drank too much of the PC juice.

By diversity I meant "diversity in terms of climate/conditions". Diversity has other meanings than what is pushed by political correctness and can be applied to many things other than cultures.

Diversity in terms of climate and conditions still applies to my argument. The Roman Empire at its high point had conquered France, Spain, and other more northern regions plus southern regions such as Carthage- different climates/climates. Greek empire of Alexander the Great had Persian's diverse asiatic climate as well. I don't see how my argument is fallacious.

I'm not a liberal, more like a strict conservative 😉

heh, yeah. I thoughts that's what you meant. But i saw "multi-culturalism-diversity-super-twins-combine!" in there.

Very true about those empires though in terms of geographic/climate diversity. I was thinking more along the lines of US has desert, coastal on two oceans, mountains, swampland, plains, etc. And our current times/boundaries that is pretty good.
 
Yes, IMO

Our combination of economic and social liberties are, still as of yet, unequaled in the world. There are many places I want to visit, but I will always call the US home.


To the people who wish the US to fall just because they dislike Bush, I'd like to hand out a hearty STFU. I don't like him much either and he will be gone soon enough. I'm not about to advocate scuttling the country that has been so good to my family over the last century+ because of a couple sh!tty presidents you foolish, shortsighted imbeciles

No. This country is too corrupt to be the "greatest country on earth!"

Besides, nationalism sucks. It leads to blind faith in your country; ie, assuming its doing right when actually may not be. And it encourages you to not question yoru government, which leads to an even more corrupt and controlling government.
 
I always laugh whenever I hear someone say this is the greatest country on earth. Has anyone been to every country on Earth? Believe it or not, not everyone puts their emphasis on materialistic possessions, or military power.
 
America is a great place full of opportunity. I don't like the people though. FOR ME America is not the best place to live. I will be leaving somewhere else when the opportunity arises.

Too much emphasis on material things and superficial goals. The merit system is dead.

If Joe Smith is an investment banker and makes $100,000 a year he is successful.
If Brian Baker works on a farm and lives a modest life he is seen as wasting his life.

Everyone has something to say. Just STFU! Blah blah this blah blah that. We aren't happy unless we are fighting some cause. Guess what everyone is different! You don't like abortion don't do it and go fvck yourself.

WAY WAY TOO MUCH emphasis on what everyone else is doing. Live your life and STFU.

And I havent been everywhere in the world, I plan to visit as many places as possible. However my current choice as far as where I would like to live(yes that means citizenship as well) is Japan.
