is The USA a force for good in the world? (204)

chrisswag: When a nation becomes very powerful, its self confidence takes a leading stage and reaches the high level of superiority. When this happens, the natural tendency of dominating world politics and commerce becomes the reality. Now, at this point, it becomes clear whether this mighty nation is a good force or not. United States can become a good force if it deals with world issues with fairness and impartiality.

Does this make sense?
Nope!

maxmate1: It's not even a debate anymore. The demise has begun already. Time to reap what they have been sowing. Let's not dwell in the past, ignore present, and look at the bright future Queen and USA tells us....yeah right!
It's a Conspiracy!

OP the USA was a good force before but then turned into nothing more than a THUG state and is no more than the big bully in the playground of the world.JMHO
listen up mister. canada is a stupid state. if u don't like america then u like a terror state like iran, like russia which doesn't like freedom of speech and north korea where it imprisons its own people and let them starve. the u.s is the best nation in the world and it alot better than canada. if u feel that way then the u.s. should stop having ur trucks from coming in this nation and impose a very very high tarriff of goods coming from there. i don't like u bashing this nation. the treaty which gives canada and mexico the right to trade with this natio(nafta) has hurt this nation.

you know if it wasn't for the u.s. during the second world war all europe and asia would be under a dictatorship. how sad that people forget that we helped them. if the world thinks that we are bad then maybe we should stop all aid and money to all the nations and keep the oil and the money for our people only. the world owes us tons of money and we should demand that the world fork over the money it owes

Soon enough....every country will inevtiably isolate from USA and UK, learning the lessons. Then the show of your rant will be more amusing!

With the greatest respect it's attitudes like this that do you or your country no favours. The superiority and disdain that is shown for other countries can be seriously off putting and smacks of condescension and elitism.
No offence intended just an observation.

The provinces and territories of Canada combine to make up the world's second-largest country by area. There are ten provinces and three territories. The major difference between a Canadian province and a territory is that provinces are jurisdictions that receive their power and authority directly from the Constitution Act, 1867, whereas territories derive their mandates and powers from the federal government. In modern Canadian constitutional theory, the provinces are considered to be co-sovereign divisions, and each province has its own "Crown" represented by the lieutenant-governor, whereas the territories are not sovereign, but simply parts of the federal realm, and have a commissioner.WIKI

Interesting!
The Provinces are basically equivalent to the States in the US!

In 1980 the richest 1% of America took one of every fifteen post-tax income dollars. Now, according to IRS figures, they take THREE of every fifteen post-tax income dollars (doc). They've tripled their cut of America's income pie. That's a trillion extra dollars a year.

For every dollar the richest 1% earned in 1980, they've added three more dollars. The poorest 90% have added ONE CENT.

Yet the average American factory worker, according to Berkeley economist Enrico Moretti, produces $180,000 worth of goods a year, more than three times what he or she produced in 1978, in inflation-adjusted dollars.

So workers have TRIPLED their productivity over 30 years while the richest 1% have TRIPLED their share of income. Worker pay remained flat as the top 10% took almost all the productivity gains since 1980.

And about freedom of speech... You`ve get them less and less by the day

Canada has a FAR superior medical system in that yaknow, we HAVE one. Ive yet to meet a Canadian going to the States for inferior medical treatment. Americans abusing our medical system is a hotly debated topic here though. In fact its one of the hot tickets on the agenda of the upcoming PROVINCIAL election. roll eyes

America is a country that could be truly great, alas they need to understand that there are other countries in the world as well as them.

On the other hand the Americans are usually first to place their youngsters in the line of fire for other peoples freedom. I find America an enigma but on the whole glad we are an ally rather then an enemy!

I have no idea why John dislikes Canada, I have no idea why mate loves it when he can seethe with hatred at the expense of others, I don't know why some people make buddies with actual bullies and then make the statements against the USA, but it sure does show some true colors. Congratulations on a wonderful thread of Hate. I wish people would learn to be kind to one another, but here I see much hate and prejudice.

i am sick and tired people bashing the US all the time. it seems that they get their rocks off bashing a country that helps the world by giving them money and aid. like i said the US should stop all aid and money from those nations and let the world fend for themselves. they should be grateful but they are downright ungrateful bunch of whining kids. maybe then they would appreciate us. till then they should be more considrate. i don't hate canada but i do hate the whining and ungrateful atittude
