GOOEY! if you think my thread is pointless, then alright. but if you compare it to a nazi-pic being posted to connect me with it.. I am sorry. Its like saying "Bush is a nazi". many people do that, but in may opinion nobody deserves to be called nazi but a friggin nazi! too terrible are the crimes they have commited, no osama, hussein, mobutu, bush, blair or kohl can ever keep up with that. sorry.


And that's what I was doing, calling a Nazi a Nazi. Cool down.

Even if these percentages are true, now let's

list all the sad facts for the rest of the world!

No one is perfect, no country is either.

It's a blame game going on, and a spiritual war!

Hey - if you don't believe me, just look under "blame game" and you will see 578,892 threads on different topics regarding the "blame game"!

God help us all!

I wish people would start posting all the good that people do as well. Everything you see on the news and in the papers is just negative shit. We all have our problems. Let's stop shitting on America and do something positive.

These are meaningless statistics. You have made no constructive attempt to discuss the underlying issues behind them. Of course numbers like this look scary and somewhat damning, It would have been interesting if you had offered us some insight too.

interesting topic ... once again ... Soulpower comes thru ... with a interesting ... and quite active topic ...,nothing like pointing out to americans ... that their county isnt the greatest in the world ... lol ...

props and pounds ...

i made a choice ... to live in the US... (good old central Pa ...)after spending some time in europa ... and my only comment is ... to those who say the US isnt the greatest country ... on many levels ... u are correct ... but ... u also have to say ... that we are a great country . We are terribly unique ... and have a lot of great ideals ... maybe we dont have the greatest LEGAL system ... but its ideals are strong... maybe we dont have the greatest HEALTHCARE ("for all", perhaps , like u do in most european countries) ... but ... on many levels ... it is where most sick people come to get better ... or shall i say ... where most prevalent and rich people come to get better ... so it is looked up to ...I can go on and on ... America ... isnt perfect ... i do agree with u soulpower, but ... lol ... i could go on and on ...(if they would just elect me president ... it would be perfect)...

I remember loving Germany ... and Italy ... and Greece all had its unique cultures ... but ... all the countries ... in my book ... are not perfect ...

the cost of the health care system in general ... is enormous ...to the average German. In the US... people say the VA hospitals are the closest things ... to what the europeans have in terms of everyone being covered , but perhaps not the best med care... I was in a German hospital (one of my good friends had to have an appendectomy ) and i remember all the americans commenting on how old and dirty the hospital was ...

the healthcare debate is a confusing one ... to me ... i do see the view that everyone ... in a perfect world ... should be covered ... but then again ... it also ... drags others down ... for example ... if i dont smoke ... why should i pay ... the additional ... monthly expense ... for those who have-in general- less good health and choose to smoke ... it is a complicated thing ... and thus ... why the americans ... choose ... so far ... not to go with universal health care ...

ok... enough rantin ... and it is a good topic ...not really prince related ..hmmm... let me think .. well ... i can make it prince related ... prince wrote ... ronny talk to russia ... which was political ... so .. i guess ... he thought that the US isnt always right either , right!!?? therefore, the US isnt always the greatest country in the world ... whew ... a stretch , i know i know .. . get off the podium...

I'm all chill. but you dropped the term nazi in reference with me. that makes your point invalid. if you were only a little educated you would know that the modern germany has nothing to do with nazi germany. and you would know that theres more neo-nazis living in your country than in mine. whats up with timothy mcveigh? he was one of them...

I agree. however, theres a difference. america considers itself an economically advanced, democratic, humanistic, social, modern country which acts like it could be a role model for the rest of the world. those numbers up there could easily be those from a 3rd world country.

please feel free to post other countries statistics. I couldnt find any as complex as this one... I have only fragments of others and it would take ages to combine them. why do you always look for a bad intention on my side? I think I am very fair in my debating.

I'm sorry, but this stat offers so much information I did not feel the need to add my own opinion on it. however, you are righ. I was expecting a discussion on the topic, where we could all talk about those points... however, all I found was a bunch of american patriots who can not handle to just face some numbers without starting to insult the person who posted them. its a phenomena that I have only experienced in america... that people feel personally offened when somebody dares to critisize their governments policies... nobody except one or two peeps had the will to seriously debate this topic... and what worries me most was the aggression in the flame posts... which again show me that many parts of those numbers have to be right.
what makes you think that those statistics are meaningless? because you declare them? if I didnt put those numbers up and if I simply explained and stated those points without refernce, then I would have been accused of not giving any factual numbers. now that I did, you are still not happy. I have the feeling its simply the fact that somebody non-american breaks down some negativity of your country pisses you off.

thanx.

i made a choice ... to live in the US...

We are terribly unique ... and have a lot of great ideals ...

I too have lived in the US for some years... and yes the country is unique. but every country is in its way. ideals unfortunately are not enough, you need to live for them. and the US (speaking of the government, always) are not doing that.
maybe we dont have the greatest LEGAL system ... but its ideals are strong... maybe we dont have the greatest HEALTHCARE ("for all", perhaps , like u do in most european countries) ... but ... on many levels ... it is where most sick people come to get better ... or shall i say ... where most prevalent and rich people come to get better ... so it is looked up to ...I can go on and on ...

I remember loving Germany ... and Italy ... and Greece all had its unique cultures ... but ... all the countries ... in my book ... are not perfect ...

[/b] I never said they were. but america intends to be a role model for the rest of the world. so they should at least make an effort to be perfect, to set an example, for others to look up to. unfortunately they dont. [/b]

the cost of the health care system in general ... is enormous ...to the average German. In the US... people say the VA hospitals are the closest things ... to what the europeans have in terms of everyone being covered , but perhaps not the best med care... I was in a German hospital (one of my good friends had to have an appendectomy ) and i remember all the americans commenting on how old and dirty the hospital was ...

well, there's always the execption to the rule. germany is known for its hygiene standarts, usually hospitals are extremely clean.

the healthcare debate is a confusing one ... to me ... i do see the view that everyone ... in a perfect world ... should be covered ... but then again ... it also ... drags others down ... for example ... if i dont smoke ... why should i pay ... the additional ... monthly expense ... for those who have-in general- less good health and choose to smoke ... it is a complicated thing ... and thus ... why the americans ... choose ... so far ... not to go with universal health care ...

very good point. in germany however, people who smoke soon will have to pay for it, by sharing the cost for there healthcare. fair deal.
