Let's see, many years ago, we landed on the moon. Anybody else done that? What do you want me to do, write a fucking encyclopedia?

And what were Neil Armstrong's first words? "That's one small step for man, one giant leap for MANKIND!" Neil had it right, which is why he said it as he did, but then he actually had an education, Bob!

Exactly. Isaac Newton wan't American. Gallileo wasn't American. Someone didn't just suddenly 'invent' a moon rocket from nothing.

I don't have to explain what, your stupid smilie face? Thanks, I couldn't explain it in a thousand years.

You're saying that I don't have to explain why the USA isn't the greatest nation on Earth. Oh, now I get it, it's a conundrum, in other words it can't be explained because it is in fact the greatest nation on Earth. Yeah, that's pretty good.

It's not 'the greatest', because only stupid yanks would make such a stupid, meaningless statement. Just the fact that they keep saying it shows that the only thing 'greatest' about it is its percentage of morons.

The way you egocentric fucks go on and on about your own country as if it's the only one on earth makes me want to puke. Actually Canadian politics is far more interesting. US politics is just the same old dirty, nasty shit ad infinitum. Canada has just had a very interesting election, but do you see the Canadians on here mentioning it? No. They are far too polite for that. I bet you didn't even know it had an election.

Maybe men did create "the madness" , but only because women let them. If women had made a stronger case for sanity, it could never have happened. Women are just as much to blame.

Did you notice that the OP was started by an American? By and large it is really only the Americans who go on and on about the greatness or otherwise of theirs and other countries, you being one of the main offenders. Insecurity issues I think.

To tell you the truth, the only thing I know about Canada is that they're always trying to glom onto our sports, like football, baseball and basketball, you know, pretending to be Americans, I guess.

At least the Canadians have a bit of class and taste (probably the French influence), unlike the crass, loud-mouthed Americans.

OK, but don't forget, we own the world, and like they say, if you've got it, flaunt it.

Like anyone should 'own' it. Just another reason to hate your shit-hole.

Why do the "haves" always have to put up with the "have-nots"?
