Denmark is Better than America

I am hereby going to take the Con stance and debate that the United States is a more admirable, reputable, famed and stupendous nation than Denmark. It is more economically prosperous and endorses human freedom far beyond that of the country of Denmark. It is thus 'better' by all possible human ideals and it has not become as liberal as Denmark or caved to join the European Union. Disclaimer: If we hearby somehow offend any individual, it is not intentional in any way; just the plain facts of inferiority of one nation to another. Good luck to the Pro, have fun and keep it clean! Firstly, I am going to argue that the USA is more economically Prosperous. Denmark has a GDP of $309.252 billion (per capita is $56,115), the Krone is 7.46038 per Euro as compared to the USA GDP of $14.256 trillion and the dollar at .8712 of a Euro. Secondly, I'm going to argue that the United States culture has spread Globally; Denmark hasn't spread its culture significantly whatsoever. Famous American singers, movies, actors, sports stars, critics, historians, talk show hosts, presidents, political leaders and economic leaders are known globally. A few choice examples are Tiger Woods, John Madden, Oprah Winfrey, Johnny Depp and any number of famous American bands. Compare these famous icons (and many others) to Denmark's... Has the world even heard of Denmark's hockey players? O_o They didn't even make it to the Olympics. Movie Stars? Companies? American Companies (and executives) and products are known globally. Coca Cola, Pepsico, McDonalds, Yum! Products Inc., Wrigleys, Microsoft, Apple etc. are all well known Globally. Bill Gates and Steve Jobs are well known executives. Politicians such as Franklin Delano Roosevelt, Ronald Reagan, Jimmy Carter, Richard Nixon, George Bush and Obama have influenced great portions of the world, and most the populace of most countries are familiar with these figures. In contrast, Denmark... do very many even know that Denmark's Prime Minister is Lars Rasmussen, or that it has a monarch who retains more influence than the Queen of England in England's politics? Does Anybody know that the monarch still retained great power in government in WWII and sanctioned Denmark's surrender? If they do, does anybody know who he was (King Christian X, for the uninformed, though I'm sure Wiki will have told you... I saved you the effort)? Denmark is an extremely small nation with limited industry and a populace smaller than New York City, not to mention the individual State of Maryland (and about 21 other States). Denmark has been a largely insignificant nation throughout the past, unlike the United States. Its most illustrious historical phase was undoubtedly that of the warrior Danes and Norsemen - vikings, if you will. The United States became a nation in 1788 and has progressed substantially on the global scale ever since. It dared even before it began to challenge the greatest nation of the world - Great Britain. It then challenged England again, Spain, the Ottomans and North Africans and various other nations in a grand variety of conflicts until WWI, when it established itself grandly on the Global Scale. The United States has a vast military; second largest active military in the world. It has, for nearly ninety years, been the Chief Democracy of the world in leading the fight against communism. Even though not every of it's policies were just or ethical, it stood firm in a time of trial and struggle against the spreading of Communism. If it weren't for the Marshall Plan in post WWII, the Free world may well have lost France, Greece and various other prominent Western Nations to the Communist Bloc. I have a variety of other points, but I shall wait for my opponent. good luck!
