Aww c'mon dude I already argued your healthcare point.Having been born outside the states, I can tell you this much, patient rights in another countries are practically nonexistent, here you can be a bum in the street, walk into any city hospitals ER and you will be taken care, by law they have to, walk into the ER of a hospital in a South American country and if you have no insurance, well you better start learning how to walk on a broken leg.Not sure if serious
The health care in this country will cause an average American to go bankrupt because of a broken leg.
Technology is literally the NSA's dream world.
American entertainment is brainwashing every little boy and girl in this country to believe that twerking with booty shorts with some bubble gum and camera is okay.
Just 60 years ago, we had segregated bathrooms and water fountains. Very diverse huh.
Those are your reasons to be proud, really?
Entertainment and media is a global thing nowadays, the Internet is global and so is American film, alot Of American shows are viewed internationally through satellite, so you can't blame American pop culture more than you can blame bad parenting and censorship.
Not sure where you are going with the whole racism point as rebuttal to this country being diverse....I don't think ANYONE can name another city more diverse when it comes to cultures, race, nationality than NYC...I mean there is literally people from all over the world residing here....something I don't think you'll see anywhere else
You're saying because the vast majority of countries have subpar healthcare in comparison to us that we should be proud of ours. I've already said that that shows an annoying amount of complacency. Just because have you better, doesn't mean you can't go for way better.
Then also there's the issue that you're comparing apples to oranges. There's a reason the the US usually is only compared to Canada, European nations, Australia, and New Zealand. That's because they are all on pretty close developmental levels.
I'm sure you would call BS if someone tried to compare the militaries of a small Latin nation compared to the US, so you should hold the same standard when talking about healthcare.
So yes, the US trumps most of the world in healthcare...who aren't our peers when it comes to development levels. But among our peers we're low on the list.
ANALOGY:
What you're doing is telling Adam Smith, the high-powered, well payed lawyer that because Javier Burgos in accounting or Juan Ramirez the secretary both have crappier suits than he does, that he shouldn't bother upgrading the suit he has now, even though the other high-powered lawyers at the firm have much better attire and look much nicer than he does.
What you should be telling Adam Smith, that since he works with and is a high powered lawyer, he should dress like one. And that means upgrading his suit.
See what I mean?
