Do you honestly think Brits and Australians are living in tin sheds and foraging for scraps?
Except you weak sauce betas just rolled over the first time the gubbermint told you to turn in your guns. I'll never, ever understand that. This is the American response to the cucks who demand we disarm and roll over for them:

We didn't roll over? It was pretty much universally agreed upon by everyone. It was Bi-partisan from both major parties and the general public was in over-whelming support of strict gun control.

There isn't and never has been a gun culture in Australia. Which is why no one here gives 2 sh*ts and is completely fine about our strict regulation.

It might be hard for you to understand but gun culture is pretty much exclusively an American thing in the Western world.

Because we're very team oriented being a capitalistic society with major sports teams competing against one another across several sports. Look how volatile our elections get -- it's because we're team oriented society.

Red vs blue

Republican vs. Democrat

Yankees vs. Red Sox

Lakers vs Celtics

Cowboys vs indians

Cops vs robbbers

North vs South

East coast vs west coast

United States vs the world

I'll be honest -- hearing a crowd chant "USA! USA! USA!" gets me a raging patriotic ****ing boner.

You're not afforded the same opportunities in other first world countries as America. No other country had the vastness and diversity of jobs, high wages, very low discrimination etc. It's a combination of factors that makes America stand out even amongst 1st world countries. QOL is also second to none.

I never said America was more free, most Western countries are more or less free (although EU has some BS speech laws). I also know people in the U.K. and Aus don't live in shacks maybe you shouldn't assume stupid ****.

IMO the bottom of the barrel morons are the most patriotic, nobody else gives a **** either way.

It's because most people need something to latch to so they can feel like "a part of something".
The billionaire and the beggar both have 24 hours in a day.

That's why grandma's apple pie rocks and yours sucks.

Sure Australia has high wages, also has high ass prices and limited selections. It's called purchasing power and I'm talking real jobs not some cashier position.

Also LOL at you're ranking I'm sure it's 100% flawless so must be nothing left to discuss. Meanwhile, back in the real world, Americas a way better country to live in unless you're poor.

bb.com just happens to be an echo chamber occupied by well-off young guys living with their parents. "Nobody never gave me nothin'!" So it swings right, like that other guy who got given lots by his parents but claimed to be self-made. These ones probably have "flat feet", too.

well, i think that freedom of speech is, in a way, an obligation to speak in that if you have something to say or an opinion to express but do not, you are doing a disservice to those that might want/need to hear it.

You may have the same economic chances, but you keep on dodging one important thing in this thread:
Our superiority when it comes to innovation and infrastructure. Other countries may have some of the same things, but there is a reason why the US is on top and is currently the most powerful country, it didn't just happen. We have a history of innovation and adaptation.


The majority of top corporations are US based. Some include: Google, Apple, ********, Coca Cola, Microsoft, General Electric, Standard Oil etc etc, you get the picture.

Here are just some American inventions: The internet, the personal computer, the cellphone, email, videogames, chemotherapy, GPS systems, LED lights, laser lights, the assembly line, the microwave oven, traffic lights, defibrillator paddles, hearing aids, zippers, fuking cookies ffs. also, the lightbulb was made commercially available thanks to Edison's design

We have NASA.

We have the best educational system in the world.

Also, like some others said, our history is pretty cool. Ups and downs to it, but the US seems to be in an alright spot now.

Because if you're patriotic of your country, you're more likely to forgive those in charge.

They use it brilliantly in their anti-NK propaganda. Simply say NK threatens them and they have all of the Americans foaming at the mouth wanting to turn the place into a parking lot.
