Is there a greater nation than America

JohnSmith

Bulgaria

No matter how much some people hate USA, it is still the greatest country in the world. It's the best example for how democracy should go, how to work and how to live. But it's not easy to be understood by everyone, especially by people with first english words like "insert coin, play again". You still do not believe me? Check this, maybe you'll change your mind:

well maple I totally agree with u but 4 the last part. I dont want 2 b pessimistic but i think it is the truth. Well India is labelled the largest democracy of the world, but do Indians get all the freedom they ought 2 get in a democratic republic? I fear not. Is the freedom 2 curse our political system be called freedom? and I wont curse nebody 4 it, it is all due 2 we indians ourselves

 Guys, guys!... How can you say so? That won't do! We all should pray for the best country and the best nation in the world! America, America!
 Nothing can be greater!

  Starting with democracy, as it is,  is a Myth =) It has never existed and can therefore never exist, which is being so kindly demonstrated by the youngest nation on the planet =) For, as a true 'teenager', America is craving for 'being not like everyone else' and 'prooving it's identity'... The only problem is one has to have the identity, therwise it may be quite hard to accept it and show it to everyone.  
 But on the whole everything is fine. We all adore this country of the longest history and the richest culture, which give it the right to play the leading role and tell everyone what they should do and where they should go =)

I agree with mapleleaf about the USA. I saw those Americans who couldn’t find their country on the map and thought that the USA has the largest territory on the Earth. Saw those poor Americans who even could not afford himself to buy an envelope to send a letter. Those Indians living in reservations. Don’t think they are proud to be Americans. But there are Americans who live in their restricted little world thinking that all Americans live like them do. These are really proud. They don’t even know why but they are proud. And repeat it like under hypnose.

There isn't the GREATEST country in the world. The United States is one of the strongest countries which doesn't mean he is the greatest.

Any a country is the only one in the world, so any a country is the greatest.
