Is America number one?

Right now America is the toughest kid in school. The toughest kid is sometimes a douche and people are glad when there is a new toughest kid in school. Unfortunately he can be an even bigger douche.

So if America never existed, those products or actions would have never been invented or come about?

If America never existed and someone else was able to take those actions and create those products we'd give someone else the credit for them. But America does exist and they did take those actions and create those products, so we give America the credit for them.

Who is number 2?

KittyButts · 07-01-2012, 05:42 PM

OH-- Looks like a poll tie!

50% of the time, 100% #1.

I'm cool with that.

BrianAlt · 07-01-2012, 07:09 PM

I abstain.

I like Canada better. I want to travel there more and I would then seriously consider expatriating.

To all the douches that live in the USA and voted that the U.S. is NOT the BEST--y'all can leave.
To all the rest-Ya did good.

If you like being taxed for silly shit, go to France, where you are being taxed for the tv's you own and the fact that they (The French) are now contemplating taxing your computer screens..and that includes your mobile devices.

Yeah-Europe is the best.

If you like being able to talk shit about the United States...and ya love to stay out of jail...Welcome to our dysfunction home. A place where you are free to fail and succeed with gusto.

Of course the United States is the best country in which to live!

Interesting article for this conversation...

100 great things about America - FORTUNE on CNNMoney

Although, number 45 is Woody Allen, but to their credit it says, "more for his prolific body of work (and for playing the cello in a marching band) than for his parenting style."

Also interesting is number 98, The GIF, "because America was built on pictures of cats."

Lots of items on the list are KATG subjects, many of them recurring.
