And South Korea is a shithole. Maybe Seoul is OK, but the Koreans are nationalistic shitheads (they put Americans to shame if you really think Americans are nationalistic xenophobes). Japan is the same way...racist as all get out. And in Korea you have to live under constant threat of complete destruction raining from the sky from the north. FUN! Yeah, that place is wonderful. I love all the military checkpoints up north and the beaches lined with barbed wire. The gunfight through the streets after a north korean sub landed was cool, too.

"Secondly, some of the countries you picked aren't even that well off. You know, Brazil? Yeah, it'd be a great country if not for the crippling corruption in the government. But maybe you've never heard of Lula. And China? CHINA? Communism, definitely ftw. Also, there's no "Korea" anymore; it's either North of South. But since your knowledge of world interaction and politics is so lacking, I think maybe you're own of those old guys from the 70's that still calls it Korea, and still calls Sri Lanka "Ceylon." "
Do you know anything about China besides that it's a Communist state? Anything? Don't make an ass of yourself and then the rest of us by association. It's becoming to have any dignity as an American with people like yourself hovering around.
China is an economic dynamo, and Communism is more likely than not responsible for that. They are a unified machine that is more efficient, more intelligent, and probably less corrupt than our own sputtering engine over here in the US of A. They've taken great steps in recovering from a severe population crisis, making them one of the only nations *in the world* to effectively solve that issue with only minimal (comparatively) human rights violations. They have a powerful military, a blooming and dominant economy, an efficient system and a fiercely loyal populus. If it came to a direct confrontation between us and them, I'd probably put my money on them, unless we had some serious assistance (which given our pr at the moment seems unlikely). China kicks our ass and will probably take over our place as global superpower before this generation dies.
If you want to decry them, decry them for their human rights record. I don't know the real stats off the top of my head, but I believe China is responsible for about 2/3 of sanctioned executions per year (which leaves America and 'Evil Dictators' responsible for the rest) and has gone essentially unchallenged after a horrific invasion and physical/cultural Genocide in Tibet that's been going on since the days of the Vietnam War's Inception.
Oh and they're being somewhat cooperative with us on the Korea thing. Who'da thunk it?

That's going to be true if you have the world's 3rd largest population. What, did you expect a country with the population of California (like France) to even approach the US's numbers of...anything?"""
>> I thought there was 60 million people in France, not 30. Way to fuck up at the beginning of your sermon.
Where did you get those numbers, anyway? Just a cursory glance shows half a dozen different answers on as many websites. Wouldn't you think a country like India, with over a billion people and still holding to a caste system, would have a greater number of HIV, teen pregnancies, or rapes? """
>> Many of those numbers are still true. Like that you are the fattest people. You can call yourself #1 all you like, but the quality of life index speaks for itself, you are every year looking more and more like a third world country.
Folks, get a life. Understand that the primary purpose of a government is not to solve all your problems for you, like Europe would have you believe, but to provide for the common defense and speak to foreign powers on your behalf. That is all."""
>> A better wealth redistribution is not solving all your problems for you. It's long term investments. You have more illiteracy and child poverty than Cuba. And the gap between the rich and the poor keeps growing. This is going to come back and haunt you one day. It already shows. Just look at the people you elect and how retarded you sound.
What is the point of all your social programs, free drugs and welfare states if you're unable to defend yourself (France, Belgium, South Korea), or simply unwilling to do defend yourself (Spain)? """
>> France? Belgium? I suppose you're referring to WWII. France wasn't even nearly socialist pre WWII as it is now. It was unable to defend itself because of WWI and miserable leadership, not because it invested in social programs. Were you dropped on your head as a child?
At the very least, Europe and China should be grateful that they aren't the world's preeminent power because then they can advance this social enlightenment while someone else draws the attention of the world's psychotics."""
>> LOL! So you think that invading random countries like Iraq draws the attention of psychotics, not CREATE them? Nobody has to thank you for anything. You are knee deep into shit because of yourselves, nothing more.
Just think what would be happening in Europe right now if Al-Qaida weren't busy figuring out how to attack the US. Spain and London would look much different if they thought they had to take a more active defense."""
>> Europe is very active on terrorism. They've been dealing with extremists way before you did. They're just not as incompetent. And they don't overreact like a bunch of scared headless chickens. The actual damage did on 9/11 was minimal compared to the damage done by your collective reaction to it.
Once the world's freeloading sucks the life out of the US (and it will, hopefully later then sooner), and the European Union or China become the world power, you will see a dramatic shift."""
I thought your idiotic military adventures, among other things, were sucking the life out of the U.S. I guess it's always easier to blame others. Poor you.
Neither Europe nor China are protected by oceans from the Middle East. September 11th will no longer be an American phenomenon."""
It never was an American phenomenon, you moron. It's always been there, you fearmongering pussy. It was just more spectacular on September 11th. Even then, in 1994, Algerian hijackers (flight 8969) planned to do the exact same thing on Paris until they got shot in the face.
Stop blaming random people for your failures and stop thinking you're so fucking special.

That's going to be true if you have the world's 3rd largest population. What, did you expect a country with the population of California (like France) to even approach the US's numbers of...anything? Where did you get those numbers, anyway? Just a cursory glance shows half a dozen different answers on as many websites. Wouldn't you think a country like India, with over a billion people and still holding to a caste system, would have a greater number of HIV, teen pregnancies, or rapes?
Folks, get a life. Understand that the primary purpose of a government is not to solve all your problems for you, like Europe would have you believe, but to provide for the common defense and speak to foreign powers on your behalf. That is all. What is the point of all your social programs, free drugs and welfare states if you're unable to defend yourself (France, Belgium, South Korea), or simply unwilling to do defend yourself (Spain)?
At the very least, Europe and China should be grateful that they aren't the world's preeminent power because then they can advance this social enlightenment while someone else draws the attention of the world's psychotics. Just think what would be happening in Europe right now if Al-Qaida weren't busy figuring out how to attack the US. Spain and London would look much different if they thought they had to take a more active defense. Once the world's freeloading sucks the life out of the US (and it will, hopefully later then sooner), and the European Union or China become the world power, you will see a dramatic shift. Neither Europe nor China are protected by oceans from the Middle East. September 11th will no longer be an American phenomenon.

And isn't the exchange rate between the Japan and the United States something like 3443897534574650^23 yen = 1 dollar? I'm not saying the USA is better because it has more money but it does say something about the economy when the currency is trumped by the DOLLAR.

Either A) Go to those countries and learn about them from there, or B) Learn about them AT ALL.
First of all, way to pick the most-unheard of and smallest countries in the motherfucking world. Luxembourg? Monaco? Fiji? Why not add fucking Swaziland, Iceland, or Armenia? You seem to like small, indistinguishable countries.
Secondly, some of the countries you picked aren't even that well off. You know, Brazil? Yeah, it'd be a great country if not for the crippling corruption in the government. But maybe you've never heard of Lula. And China? CHINA? Communism, definitely ftw. Also, there's no "Korea" anymore; it's either North of South. But since your knowledge of world interaction and politics is so lacking, I think maybe you're own of those old guys from the 70's that still calls it Korea, and still calls Sri Lanka "Ceylon."
And how about NOT putting bias into your "authoritive list?" America may not be perfect, but it's a lot better than fucking Peru, or Pakistan. America has money, land, hard-working people, and just laws; the only thing that's wrong is who we elected to run it (like we had any choice...).
