Debate: IS the USA the greatest country.
Side: Citizens should be apologetic.

You are fearful because you buy the media's bull. I bought the media's bull? Your WHOLE POST just proved you did. Yes America isn't the shitest country. Yes you can walk around in America freely and invest money and not worry about the government killing you with the click of it's fingers (many exceptions to this case actually) but you can do that in hundreds of other countries. Just cause America isn't the worst.. doesn't mean it's the best. Get your thumb out of your ass. America isn't the only country where people can practice their own religion, politics etc.

" America isn't the only country where people can practice their own religion, politics etc." but it is the only country with the American dream that so many leave their own country for. They die coming here because it is the greatest. It is so great that millions do not want to stand in line to get here, they will chance death and/or imprisonment for a chance to come here.Hundreds of other countries do not have that.

Actually America isn't the only country everyone tries to migrate to. It also doesn't mean that USA is the greatest country. It might be great for 100 years but it's already sliding downhill. Now thousands of people are beginning to migrate to China and India and Brazil. You don't look at one small time frame and 1 small reason to decide whether or not a country is great. You look at the whole of its history. USA has historically been weak, bloodthirsty, lack of liberty and freedom etc. Maybe for a period of 50 years it was on its way to becoming a country somebody could look back in the future and call great but it never made it.

"everyone tries to migrate to"- Who claims/claimed that?" You don't look at one small time frame and 1 small reason to decide whether or not a country is great"- Who claims/claimed this?Tell me your choice of who is greater and the reason and I can surely pick it apart.There is simply one answer and one answer only,some just never want to admit it.That says more about the person than the country.

Yes our politicans are not something to be proud of but if you look at our history when america needed he citizens most they took the challenge and fought to keep our country free look at the american revolution we fought for our freedom and won it look at world war two tons of young men stepped up to fight for demecracy and look at the war on terror while the reasons our goverment may not be right look at all those who answered the call to fight for demecracy

Right. When was the last time that the United States threatened another country with a nuke?

"When was the last time that the United States threatened another country with a nuke?"I dont think many people forgot what happened to Japan

Side: Citizens should be proud.

"they just threaten everyone with nukes."- who is everyone? Japan suddenly accounts for everyone? Not only did we bomb them over 60 years ago, but that was the first and last time that any country used an atomic bomb on another. It is idiotic to say that the United States threatens "everyone" with nuclear weapons and then have one example that occurred over 6 decades ago for support. So, good job you're an idiot.

Side: Citizens should be apologetic.

We threatened use in the Korean War. That's not talked about often. What is deterrence but a threat anyway? You have to understand that sleeping with a gun under your pillow is okay, but walking out the door with it and waving it around the neighborhood is not nice.
Debate: IS the USA the greatest country.
Side: Citizens should be proud.

The Korean War was still almost sixty years ago. Two examples with that distance of time away from the present is no where near enough to say that just we threaten everyone with nukes."walking out the door with it and waving it around the neighborhood is not nice."- in this case, it has been more like walking out in public with the gun concealed. The public would only know that you have it because you have shot someone before.
Debate: IS the USA the greatest country.
Side: Citizens should be apologetic.

Not quite. It's well-known the kind of firepower the US is packing, hell we used to release numbers every once in a while just to remind everyone of it.
Debate: IS the USA the greatest country.
Side: Citizens should be proud.

"It's well-known the kind of firepower the US is packing"- that does not mean that we threaten every other country with our nuclear weapons on every instance that we threaten them."hell we used to release numbers every once in a while just to remind everyone of it."- we were not reminding "everyone" of it. You may not remember, but the United States used to be in an arms race with the Soviet Union. We released numbers for them, not for everyone else.
Debate: IS the USA the greatest country.
Side: Citizens should be apologetic.

Actually, had we dropped it under the table to them directly, that would have been threatening. No, those numbers were generated indirectly and to the world stage. Throughout a lot of the Arms Race, we weren't on good speaking terms with the Soviet Union.

Side: Citizens should be proud.

had we dropped it under the table to them directly, that would have been threateningThat's ridiculous logic. Since the US did not send them the information directly, it could not be considered a threat? Of course it was a threat; it was their greatest enemy releasing the numbers of how many nukes they had.

Debate: IS the USA the greatest country.
Side: Citizens should be proud.

"well your government isn't exactly getting rid of them"- you really do not understand a lot about the world. The US is reducing its number of nuclear weapons, but can not eliminate all of them because other countries possess nuclear weapons as well. Does this mean that we are threatening them with our nukes? Absolutely not. We are simply making sure that in the case where a nuclear war could occur, we are prepared."if you knew someone had a gun and they had just shot someone wouldn't you think they'ld be prepared to shoot you"- just shot someone? It was over sixty years ago. Why do I have to keep reminding you of this?

"another U.S citizen who beleives that they are the only country in the world that matters."- that is absolutely not what I meant, but it was no surprise that you misinterpreted what I said."if you see someone get shot you don't suddenly yell at the guy with the gun."- that is a terrible generalization. Also, I was not stating that people now blame the US after such a long time, but stating that using one event that took place over sixty years ago is not grounds for stating that the US threatens "everyone" with nukes."also 60 years is a long time to a country."- yes......"the bombing of japan was a show of power, you don't honestly think that when a country gets hit by a superbomb, no-one bothers to notice."- yes it was a show of power. It is wrong, however, to say that the United States threatens "everyone" with nukes after it has only used them on a single country. Under your logic, if a nuclear power threatens another country, it must be threatening that country with its nuclear weapons. This view is ridiculous."says the idiot"- wow it takes some serious brain power to come up with that one, but it definitely takes more courage to actually say it to somebody.

And in the art of debating you must make exact your intentions and meaningsYou said that the United States "threatens everyone" with nukes. I asked "who is everyone", obviously a question on which countries the US threatens. You, being the smartest person in the world, came to some strange, disconnected conclusion that I am an American who believes the US is "the only country in the world that matters." I was explicit and exact in my question, your lack of intelligence led you to a meaning that was completely irrelevant to what I was talking about.otherwise your opponents will manipulate this to their advantage.lol, in what way did you use your confusion to your advantage? What do you think you gained from that?You are now repeating what I have already disputed.First, you are incapable of disputing that fact. Second, you confused yourself once again and I was forced to repeat what I said in the hope that you would interpret it correctly. Unfortunately, you do not learn from your mistakes.why do you bother typing pointless statements like that.I could say the same thing about any argument that you have ever posted.It didnt "threaten" it nukedAre you suggesting that the US nuked "everyone" ?it shows what will happen to any country that dares touches one of the U.S's little harboursNice try down-playing that. If one country attacks the other, kills thousands and then declares war, which lasts a few years and incurs thousands more dead, and eventually refuses to surrender to the victor, is that not justification?Therefore a show of power.This is a direct quote from me in my previous post---->"yes it was a show of power" lolI don't need you opinion on my insultsSee thats the problem. Can it really be considered an insult if it does not insult the person its meant to? It might actually have been so bad that it made you insult yourself.you should know that it's a bad thing and accept it.Lol I accept it as a bad insult......

and you're not afraid to use themYou need to analyzed the situation more closely. The United States is not afraid to use nuclear weapons; what nuclear arms-possessing country would be if they are in a desperate situation enough to move to their last resort(nukes). Its the fact that we have been in several wars since the last time we used nuclear weapons and have not used them since that shows that the USA is extremely cautious of their utilization.I dont understand how you could not take that as a threatA threat is a measure of intent. The US has no intention of nuking a country such as Madagascar, for example, therefore they should not be threatened by us. If possession garners threat, everyone should feel threatened by the police.I have no wish to explain my motives to you.Nor do you have the ability. The blabber that comes out of your mouth is indefensible as it is random.the fatc that you cannot provide that shows how little the foundation is which your argument was built on.I just don't understand you. First you told me to find an example. I replied by saying that an example would be any argument you have ever posted. You then say I am incapable of providing an example. Ingenious.....no-one else had any defence against.The Japanese had defenses against an American invasion. Should have we invaded Japan? (the total loss of life in this situation would probably have been higher than dropping the atomic bombs)How could you not be concerned about your own safety when someone has that?A cop carries a gun. Should I not feel safe next to one?Its called exaggeration its a form of linguistic device.Doubt it. You probably didn't know how long the war was lol.Yes, but you were the ones threatening them.It was not a threat to their existence. It was a threat to their ability to wage war on innocent people. you then have a fleet of battleships facing there directionThe naval base at Pearl Harbor was actually established before WW2. Its not like we built it just in case we decided to go after Japan.Japan occupied all the oil producing areasReally? lol Did Japan occupy Alaska?(notice it says in 8th May 1945 Japan made an attempt to surrender)Notice the source to back it up as well as the amazing detail offered in regard to the attempt to surrender.And how is being born in a country that belongs to your enemy a crime punishable by death?It was a part of Japanese culture to save face. Make no mistake, they did not want to surrender.You were showing every country in the world not to trifle with you. Oh so I guess we were showing a country like Nigeria not to "trifle with" us?Urban dictionary....Yeah, I stopped reading that sentence when I saw this.I am sitting here and laughing at your pathetic attempts to elevate yourself above me.lol no you arent. nice try though

The poor in Canada are the richest anywhere.1) Free healthcare2) Government housing, street centers, group homes3) Food stamps4) Family-oriented programs (Child tax benefit)5) Low income families (or individuals) are exempt from certain taxes.

Great at being Lazy: if we are so lazy why are we the leading super and if you look at our history we have accomlished so much for a young nation
Debate: IS the USA the greatest country.
Side: Citizens should be proud.

I will start with the lazy comment. Americans are not lazy. We work for everything we have. We have longer work weeks, longer work days and fewer holidays. Americans have driven the world economy for almost 70 years. We have accomplished more in the last 100 years than many other nations have during there entire existence.As for patting ourselves on the back, we have a lot to be proud of and just because we can list off a long line of accomplishments doesn't mean that we are "patting ourselves on the back" any more than say an Olympic gold metal winner is patting him/herself on the back by being exceptional.I do agree with you that we should not be sticking our collective noses in every body else's business.If you want to measure how great our country is by how rich our poor are than we are a pretty great country. The only "poor" people out there are the ones that choose to be that way or are drug addicts or mentally handicapped, and even they have options if they want help.You sir, are taking cheap shots at the country that you presumably live in. If you don't like it everyone would be happy if you left (you included).

Nationalism gives me the shivers... It's the kind of mindset that leads to unconditional civil obedience. Overall a bad idea to put too much faith in a nation. I love my nation and I believe in it, but not in such a way as to believe it is the greatest or that it cannot be beaten or improved upon.
