If liberals are so f.uckin' smart, how come they lose so


If liberals are so f.uckin' smart, how come they lose so godda.mn always?

And with a straight face, you're going to tell students that America is
so starspangled awesome that we're the only ones in the world who have freedom? Canada has freedom, Japan has freedom, the UK, France, Italy, Germany, Spain, Australia, Belgium has freedom! Two hundred and seven sovereign states in the world, like 180 of them have freedom.

And yeah, you... sorority girl. Just in case you accidentally wander into
a voting booth one day, there are some things you should know, and one of them is:

There is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we're the greatest country in the world.

We're seventh in literacy, twenty-seventh in math, twenty-second in science, forty-ninth in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, third in median household income, number four in labor force, and number four in exports. We lead the world in only three categories: number of incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next twenty-six countries combined, twenty-five of whom are allies.

None of this is the fault of a 20-year-old college student, but you, nonetheless, are without a doubt a member of the
Worst. Period. Generation. Period. Ever. Period,

So when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what the f
.uck you're talking about! Yosemite?

We sure used to be. We stood up for what was right. We fought for moral reasons, we passed laws, struck down laws for moral reasons. We waged wars on poverty, not poor people. We sacrificed, we cared about our neighbors, we put our money where our mouths were, and we never beat our chest. We built great big things, made ungodly technological advances, explored the universe, cured diseases, and we cultivated the world's greatest artists and the world's greatest economy.

We reached for the stars, acted like men. We aspired to intelligence;
we didn't belittle it; it didn't make us feel inferior. We didn't identify ourselves by who we voted for in the last election, and we didn't scare so easy. We were able to be all these things and do all these things because we were informed. By great men, men who were revered. The first step in solving any problem is recognizing there is one.

America is not the greatest country in the world anymore.

You just had to single out liberals, didn't you?
I notice that you like to single out a lot of specific groups.

Okay, I'm a Canadian who was wondering HOW LONG IT WOULD TAKE FOR SOMEBODY TO SAY IT.
So in all honesty, preach girl. It was about time somebody had said this.

I admire patriotism, but when it crosses the line into turning a blind eye, I'm glad people like you still recognise truths.
There's a lot of great things about America - as is the case for many, if not all, nations - and as is the case for every one of these nations, there's a lot of stuff wrong as well.
I'm not American but I still really like this quote. It's truthful.

very true. but were Italy, Germany, france, china, russia, and the whole Europe etc... the first on the moon? can they be proud of Steve Jobs and the invention of Apple®? Can they be proud of the food we have? Can they be proud of the Jefferson, lincoln, etc.. Memorials? Can they be proud of our no-one-knows-what-language we speak? they are MANY MORE facts and things that other countries don't have and these facts make america the greatest at them. Does Russia have cereal makers like Battle Creek, Michigan does? No, we are the greatest at that :P

Steve Jobs is american? Einstein is German. Plus why are you so proud about Steve Jobs? Rude, dismissive, hostile, spiteful: Apple employees—the ones not bound by confidentiality agreements—have had a different story to tell over the years about Jobs and the bullying, manipulation and fear that followed him around Apple. Jobs contributed to global problems, too. Apple's success has been built literally on the backs of Chinese workers, many of them children and all of them enduring long shifts and the specter of brutal penalties for mistakes. And, for all his talk of enabling individual expression, Jobs imposed paranoid rules that centralized control of who could say what on his devices and in his company.
Steve Jobs was manipulative.
Steve Jobs did lots of drugs.
Steve Jobs abandoned his baby-mama (mother of his children) just because he was abandoned as a child.
He was a total jérk.
So saying Steve Jobs is American is not helping you, it just shows how Americans can be aśsholes.
'Can they be proud of the food we have?' I AM LAUGHING AT THIS OH MY GOD. The food you have? You mean the food that makes most of the country OBESE? Indian, Greek, Italian, Turkish, French food are the types of food people are proud of- not American.
No Russia doesn't have those cereals instead they have dishes like Bliny, Caviar, Oladyi that represent their countries a lot better than some cereals.
I am laughing at your comment. Do you think you're all that great because you're American? Most people call Americans the dumbest people on earth. They're workaholics, half of them get divorces, most kids do drugs and smoke god knows what because their parents are too busy with work to care.
Do you still think you're the greatest?
