That description of socialism was extraordinarily inaccurate, allybeboba. Considering your posts are normally fairly logical and fact based, I wanted to point that out.

The oldest form of government is not inherently the best - in fact, one could argue that the longer a form of government has been in place, the more outdated it will be.

Socialism does not trend towards Communism. That is actually just not even the slightest bit true, nor is it based off of any real world examples.

Communism has always been bred out of anti-colonialist movements inside of a country. Colonialism was a bi-product of Monarchy and Religious Fervor that insisted God wanted them to conquer the world in His name.

Socialism stems from the political and economic ideology that no one can succeed in a country without the help of governmental policies that allow business to flourish and the myriad of consumers within a country.

Considering that outright Laissez-Faire Capitalism fails in the most horrific and greedy fashions, and that most heavily government reliant economies fail due to some form of corruption, perhaps the best solution is somewhere in between.

But my country, the USA, is not the best at anything right now. We have gun deaths per 100k that mimic nations currently in civil war. We spend 35% more on Education than the average modern nation but consistently rank at the bottom in Mathematics and Literacy. The only thing we top the OECD lists at are our ignorance of social statistics such as teen pregnancy and unemployment rates.

I could go on. There is a lot that is wrong with our country.

I got to see it first hand when I interned at my state's government this past General Assembly session. When our elected officials are more concerned with passing unenforceable legislation that keeps some of the most masculine men from going into a men's restroom and some of the most feminine women from going into a women's restroom, but we will not institute any sort of meaningful change to the current Education System that funds school districts based off of property tax, then maybe we should be looking to European nations for help, Allybeboba.

Asking for what makes one country the greatest is a foolish question and it's logically flawed if you think it proves anything about our shared country one way or the other. It doesn't matter what country is determined to be the best by weighing and prioritizing certain indeterminate sets of criteria. What I can tell you is that the United States of America is not the greatest country in the world based off of the numerous criteria at which it merely underperforms.

Once again, the reasons for this underperformance and potential solutions are going to vary by political party and ideology. I thought I'd just try to set the rest straight.

That was a quote, thus the quotations.

Much of our underperformance challenges in education are due to the fact that we lower our standards to fit the lowest common denominator. Much like people here on this website do.
If we were to go back 25-30 years the US did not have these issues.

I am quite sure all the people in "ivory towers" are worried about is themselves and the people/companies that pay them. That is how ALL countries are ran. If we think otherwise we are foolish.

As far as the US having the most gun deaths per 100k we are not even close to #1. Countries boast 2, 3 even 6+ times higher death rate.

I did not ask what made a country "greatest". I asked what made it "great". There is a difference. I even gave a few examples. And we STILL have failed to have any more. All we have gotten is America bashing. It is the trend after all.

Well it's fun because you think your horse is higher than it is. Because your education system is shit.

He didn't say your gun death ratio was #1 can you not read he said it was on par with countries currently in civil war and no not the avengers.
 
Sweden and Denmark, both socialist countries, are both considered the rape capitals of the world.

this post is what happens when all your political knowledge comes from facebook memes
 
We are now TWO days in and people have cited zero examples, other than the ones I gave, of what makes their countries "great". Do they have none? Surely they do. They would just rather bash America. For they like being the bullies on the internet.
I shall give another example... The architecture of Italy/Rome was absolutely astounding when I studied there. Some of their roads and buildings are thousands of years old.

Have a great weekend everyone and Happy Mother's Day!
 
Now keep in mind this is NOT some made up mumbo jumbo. Nor is it some meme. Or some manipulation of questions. Her questions are scrutinized before they are even given to her. She is a former First Lady after all, we can't have her embarrassed. This is her own words over the years.

 
I already stated a few examples of what was not "true". I can go down that entire list if you like and explain why most are not true.
Perhaps you should deal less in absolutes and give us some examples of what makes your country great.
I would be willing to bet your country contributed to the "stealing of America from Native Americans", and the "invasion of Iraq", has a higher tax than the US, has more racist policies, works less hours(work ethic) shall I go on? Waiting on those examples...
you can keep bitching about ur countrys ''statistics'' or the useless things ppl think theyve done good, fact remains ur country is shit and everything i said is true.

Ooo... It seems someone is quite the angry one!!
I have already addressed many of these, some of these even twice. I will now embarrass you by addressing your bolded one.
Actually, Americans work more hours with less days off than Europeans. If anything one could say that Europeans less work ethic than Americans or "no work ethic"( your words, not mine). But, I wouldn't say that.
And we are STILL awaiting an example of what makes your country great. Surely it does something... Anything... Maybe blood donors? We collected ~350,000 units in my little area(not my country) last year. Surely your entire country beat that, considering Socialism is so "giving" right". And that European "free healthcare" care is so awesome. By the way, who pays for that "free healthcare"? Kek...
I never said my country is great???????? lol it's shit aswell. America is just more full of shit. You can keep ''making up excuses'' for those facts I stated. Oh w8, excuses? This sounds familiar. hahahah you just proved me right urself loool
 
Please quote my "excuse" if you can.

48hrs and still waiting on what makes your country great. Come on... I am sure it does something. Maybe it is... Oh I know, it is great at bashing other countries!! Kek...
I just said, ''I never said my country is great, it's shit aswell.'' Can you read once in your life? Or did you lose ur glasses.
You're basically denying every fact I stated, making up excuses I cba going through your big pile of useless junk you commented before.
 
Who do u want o write what their country is good at? Cant u tell no one gives a shit arguing with you? I achive more bashing my head in the nearest wall

I'm still curious as to why after 6 pages of this, you're constantly harping on people to provide information on what makes their own countries great. What point are you after, like what are you trying to prove with this? It's irrelevant at best, as what makes one country great to one person may mean entirely the opposite to another person.

Cheap bread, milk and gas may be great to you, but having a significantly smaller equality gap and state-provided social safety nets may be great to the next guy. Most successful "first world" countries do some things great and other things awfully. The points it seems you keep trying to coerce out of everyone are entirely subjective.
