Let´s start a "We hate France Club"
I must say that I do not like the French people and France itself, this said I hasten to add that I have nothing against individuals, except fanatics who continue to claim that their nation, religion or culture is the greatest in the world.
With nations there are more factors than just economy, military power and political influence
One of them is a nations space program, where the USA holds absolute power!!! except that the European Space agency is currently developing a system called Galilei (is that spelled correctly?) which will render GPS absolete!!!
But the USA holds absolute power in this field!!!
There are other things which I won´t start describing now regarding nations!!
Religion, the greatest religion in the world, no such thing exists!!! religion is a purely personal matter and to each individual, his and her´s religion is the greatest!!!
Culture, well, american culture may impose itself on other nations, but it will never surpass the individual nations core culture if you take my meaning.
And to claim that American culture is the dominant in the world, well, America is the dominant nation in the world. And besides, a part of the american culture is based on stupidity (no offence, but its true) Your freedom, your freedom to anything you want, your freedom to sue fastfood chains because the food is fat! your freedom to sue people whose bags you trip because you yourself doesn´t keep an eye on where you put your feet!!!
C´mon people, you have to admit that many of the lawsuits going on in your nation is sheer stupidity, well, there may not be that many, I could be exaggeration a little, or a lot.
But it is stupid, and a complete and utter waste of time and resources!!
One could also account the greatness of a nation as to how much your people is proud of it, and I now for a fact that the people of the US is not the winner here!!!
...........I´m beginning to forget what we´re discussing here!!!
I´m getting dizzy!!!
