China won the last olympics.

5 - USA has a military 5x larger

Who are, at the moment, evenly divided between middle Eastern countries

Mike Bassett England Manager = best football film, ever, soo funnny



Football is a LOT more dangerous then Rugby... the padding is there for a reason. The sanctioned hits in football are stuff that would be outright outlawed in Rugby, hell it's illegal to block.

1- About 5 times your population Larger isn't better, it's just larger. Also we kick your ass on population density if you want to go down that route anyway.

2 - About 40 times your land area Yeah, and most of it is unusable desert and mountains, and the bits you can use aren't.

3 - USA is only country to use an atomic bomb on another country, let alone 2 bombs I struggle to see, apart from the end of WWII, why this make USA better than Britain.

4 - Best in the world at Basketball, Golf, American Football, the olympics and many other sports Well of course you're better at american football, you're the only country that plays it. Now at the football (not handegg) world cup we are in the same group. I can't wait to see England kick USA's ass in the worlds largest and most important sport

5 - USA has a military 5x larger You said it though, 5 times larger population, so military personnel per capita is still about the same.

9 - The American Dream Hasn't existed for years.

10 - 11 of the 25 richest men in the world are in America, the highest ranked Brit? 29th place Yeah we suck on that front.

11 - Fast Food! McDonalds, Wendy's, Subway? You can thank America Nobody's ever been to a Wendy's outside of the USA. But the other two I guess we can thank you for... Thanks for the obesity problems

12 - Capitalism Yeah, you didn't invent it and we in Britain are also capitalist.

13 - Fuck Europe! USA didn't join WWII until 1941. And that's only because Japan attacked em! That's not a reason, that's just a statement.

14 - The computer your typing on right now? Oh yeah an American invention How so? It was British for the most part. Charles Babbage, Alan Turing, George Boole, Ada Lovelace, the British army... All of these were working on the computer before the USA even knew what a computer was.

15 - Tea? haha fuck that we drink coffee bitches! We drink both tea and coffee.

16 - Xbox! oh yeah. Where's your console Britain? ZX Spectrum... *Wipes tear from eye as memories of the past fade away*

17 - American football is rougher, tougher, injuryer and more manly then that wimp sport soccer! ha ha ha Come here and play Rugby then.

18 - American muscle cars! So what you've got Fag-uar and Ass-ton Martin! We have GM, Ford and Chrysler Our cars all extremely sporty and stylish, we win. It's not quantity, it's the quality.

19 - They have a black president! What you still have a white guy? Does the colour of a persons skin determine how well they run a country... Alert the masses instantly.

20 - US Virgin Islands > British Virgin Islands Prove it :-p

21 - America doesn't fuck around. They need oil they go and take it! With the help of the British military may I remind you.

22 - Texas Yorkshire

Also. If I were going to argue for the USA being the best country in the world i'd go with this.

The US spends more on Medical Research then the rest of the world COMBINED.

The US spends more on scientific research then the rest of the world and still the leaders in general.

This thread is awesome! XD

Why is America is awesome:

-Junk Food
-We saves yo asses in WW dos! no you didn't. Alan Turing and the Russian Army did way more than the USA in WWII
-Chuck Norris
-South Park
-We kicked some British but. Twice! Hmm... not likely.
-Pizza Wat?
-Sushi Seriously?
-Tacos Mexican?
-Our national buildings can look dirty. Britain has operating pubs older than the USA (I work in one).
-American Idol A spin off from Pop Idol, originally a British TV programme.


 

Eh, actually the US entering the war did in a way save you from WW2.

Not the Nazis mind you... but the Russians.

Without the US involvement in the Europeon Theatre USSR likely would of took all of Germany and even most of France.

With taking all of germany would come their atom bomb secrets.  Which the US may not have been working on had it won the war.


In otherwods.  USSR Hegemony and a general rise of "communism" which was really cronyism.

 

I mean heck, England might of even signed a treaty with the Nazis.  It was barely holding on even with all the illegal help FDR was giving the UK behind the US citizens backs.

pfft. well, at least our taxes aren't as high. And at least our money goes to "things" and not some saggy old lady with a lot of jewels. Hooray for more spending money to go on video games! :D

EDIT: Oh, and we have "counties" too, they're like "states within states" and we have 3140 to be exact. .
