Best Country in the World

a)Nazi Germany laying in ruins and being destroyed at the end of the war has nothing to do how great the nation is. Why? Because as I described earlier, it was of no fault to the nation itself, but a military mistake in strategy and some bad luck. If the United States was attacked by a nuclear warhead from China today, and NY City laid in ruins, would you say it was not a great city? No. First, when you initiated this debate, you said any country from history. If the country is FROM history, obviously it has risen and fallen. So you knew that the country might already be destroyed. Anyway, my point is you can't use the fact the Nazi Germany fell as an argument against it. With that said, let me begin 1. Nazi Germany had border and USA did not. This is actually an argument in my favor. The fact the Nazi Germany had borders also means that the countries around it had borders. Thus, for the Nazi's to expand, they had to capture it from people who owned it. Nations who owned it. Nations who could and did go to war. The United States had no borders, so it had no one to fight against except Indians. And the Indians were not a country that could completely band together. So I agree with the facts, but the significance obviously leans to my favor. 2. Ideals The reason I said ideals did not matter is because they are inter-subjective. Please do not make me have a side debate with you over morality and communism in this large debate. Not everyone shares the same ideals. USA once had slavery. USA put thousands of Japanese CITIZENS in internment camps very similar to the Nazis. The USA did not treat early German and Irish immigrants well. Do not talk to me about ideals of the countries. Why? Because both were at fault and the impact of both are inter-subjective. Not always will democracy be looked at as a good thing. The Middle East hates it. So unless you want to debate who communism, holocaustic events, and ideals are good or bad ( and that would take a LONG time), let's skip those arguments. 3. Destruction Look at the first thing I say in this round 4. We are using bits and pieces of previous rounds so numbering my fluctuate  5. Problem Solving Hitler did make an army from almost nothing. After WWI, the German army was nothing "After the Great Depression struck, more Germans were attracted to Hitler's promises to improve the economy, defy the hated Treaty of Versailles, and rebuild Germany's military power" . http://www.cybergerman.addr.com... There is more he did in the military, but this I will include in technological innovations. You attack communism. As said above, we do not know if communism is truly bad. But the fact still stands, he initiated social reforms, as I said above like giving benefits to all workers. Unemployment was very very low. You agree. What is the United States track record on unemployment? Laughable. Nationalism was supported because of the people's support for Hitler. They saw the economy improve, they saw their border's expand. They saw the positive social reforms. And they saw the Jews as the enemy. Nationalism was strong because the country was great, and the people knew it. 6. Government "This is different than the U. S. b/c of the Freedom of Speech we have. We are not dominated by one party. There are two parties w/ 2 very different povs who control the government. .. checks and balances. .. This makes the U. S. a ever changing, ever opportunity giving country that stomps all others. " -Your wise words of wisdom, let them be, let them be.  The United States two party system that you idolize is corrupt and not very representative. Here is my proof. Can anyone remember a candidate not supporting the cutting of spending? Can anyone remember a candidate not supporting change (besides incumbents)? Lobbyists are able to exploit our system because it is two party. Nazi Government never had to cater to special interest groups because they did not need the money. Why is nothing done in a speedy manner in America? Because The democrats and republicans always slow things down if they don't like it. Nazi Government, as one party, did not spend forever on changes, because they were unified. Any finally, if two party systems are so great why is front-runner Obama and Huckabee both supporting vertical politics? Both supporting a coming together of the two-parties into one party? Our system, I am sorry, is deeply flawed. 7. Military The United Stats, did not crush Nazi Germany. Nazi Germany, led by Hitler, made the stupid mistake of constantly expanding and thinning out his troops. The USA waited until France and Russia and England had already done most of the work. But as said above, this issue does not matter in the grand scheme of things. 8. Economy Communism, read above. And yes, you are slightly wrong. But it doesn't matter. Because the people in the USSR would look at you like democracy was the devil. All inter-subjective. Do you want to read my socialism is good debate? . http://www.debate.org... 9. Technological Innovation Go here please. I couldn't not fit it in the character limit. Just scroll down and you will see it. . http://www.schoolhistory.co.uk... You ended with one main point a)Nazi Germany was a quick fix while the USA was stable Is that true? As I have proved above, Nazi Germany had a stable economy, stable society, and stable government. The USA is not stable. Let's go start from now and go back. Riots to War in Iraq. Assassination of President JFK, and others. Anit-war riots for Vietnam. Women's rights riots. Slavery revolts. Civil War ( the US coming back from this only shows that it was held together very weakly before ) , over one-hundred amendments to the Constitution. Failed Articles of Confederation. Here are my reasons why Nazi Germany is a MUCH better t country that the United States 1. More territorial expansion is more difficult lands to acquire 2. Very superior economy 3. Powerful government 4. Many technological innovations 5. Ability to fix problems My opponent cannot boast these things at the same magnitude as Nazi Germany
