Someday us Americans can only hope to live as well as you 2nd/3rd worlders :Buck:

The unwashed rednecks like you who have no international passports have no chances at all :Graucho

I just feel ashamed to be part of the human race...

99% of our 7 billion population is a complete idiot.. now GFY

For example Platoon. I like Hamburger hill too. But not limited to those.

I'm very well aware of this as well as north african campaign, Russians fighting Japanese Kwantung army in China and lots of other things you are about to Google up. So yea son, Im a WW2 history buff. Love those documentary shows and books.

Americans aren't the best about teaching world history and things other countries have achieved but ...

Those were Mexican marching downtown LA silly, not French or the Dutch. Please do everyone a favor and don't get out of your trailer park. And if you really need to brag about visiting other "countries" in front of you inbreeds on Thanksgiving please limit your travels to Tijuana or Niagara Falls.

Not when it comes to press freedom (position 32).

All "your" achievements were made by immigrants, son. Einstein, Tesla, Von Braun, Sikorsky, Pentkovski etc - they all got their education in Europe. What exactly have you invented? A German hamburger or Italian pizza?

And a whole your country was built by slaves from Africa.

In a way that is a complement that the Europeans were unable to realise their projects in Europe and had to flee / travel to the US to have the freedom to develop.

Aspects of American freedom are very positive, it is a shame that abroad US foreign policy is supporting the worse states.

American freedom is mostly economic freedom, and even that isn't doing that well. The rest things can be described as that they have the idea of freedom, but it hasn't realized that much. American freedom is kinda myth.

What America has, is a good economic ecosystem, just like China has these days. Although one big aspect of the ecosystem has somewhat fleed to China, etc.

I don't argue on that. But initially we were talking about the US education, which is just a joke.

Where every citizen (including kids and old men) owes more than 120,000 dollars to the other countries. In fact it's the World's biggest debtor economics. It's very easy be #1 in dollar country when you literally print these moneys. If the world will replace the US dollar with the Chinese yuan, the US will disappear in no time. Think about it.

Still, it has good economic ecosystem. Especially if compared to Russia. Russia's ecosystem is kinda just oil based industry; not that much of a ecosystem to speak of. And despite of Putin's attempts, the situation hasn't meaningfully improved.

Which exactly "attempts" are you talking about?

Habla Finlando? You post me those Russian news and tell to Google translate. Here you go, you translate this time. Kinda old news from 2006, but it came first up from google.

"Viime vuosien talouskasvu ei kuitenkaan riipu pelkästään öljystä ja raaka-aineista. Etenkin presidentti Vladimir Putinin ensimmäisellä kaudella 2000-2004 toteutettiin tärkeitä verotukseen, omistusoikeuksiin ja yrityshallintaan liittyviä uudistuksia, jotka ovat helpottaneet yksityissektorin kehittymistä ja talouden monipuolistumista."

Well, I help you with this ready translate by google.

"In recent years, economic growth does not depend solely on oil and raw materials. In particular, President Vladimir Putin's first period 2000-2004 was carried out important tax, property rights, and corporate management reforms that have facilitated private sector development and economic diversification."

But the situation is that these attempts haven't been very fruitful in the long run.

In Russian or English please.

Haha and do wonder why they ended up in the US?

50 of the top 100 universities in the world are in the US. I think you might find one that's like ranked #400 in Russia :1orglaugh

Do you honestly think you're fooling anyone here? Like we don't know you're in some 3rd world shithole? Be real man.

FYI brainiac, USA isn't even in the top 10.


and every citizen owes $120k?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

the US will disappear if the world replaces the dollar with the yen?

:1orglaugh

Beat me too it, was about to mention we have most of the best colleges & universities in the world


Oh and United States cease to exist? Russia is in the process of ceasing to exist with these low oil prices... Russia has a balanced budget with $90-$100 oil. Oil is at $50 and may never actually recover to $90-100

according to research, USA is the most free nation on the planet

Who cares? The US education sucks (look at yourself and admit it already, redneck), so who cares? :1orglaugh

You are so stupid to laugh at that. I have no idea what thing you consider as "freedom", but the US police kills more US citizens than terrorists. It's about a thousand times more than in Russia. So enjoy a boot on your neck and be a sheep like others :)))

The reason why US education scores lower then a lot of places is because we accept EVERYONE even if they are idiots. Its easy to skew your scores when a country only accepts their elites

Russia?s civil liberties rating declined from 5 to 6 due to expanded media controls, a dramatically increased level of propaganda on state-controlled television, and new restrictions on the ability of some citizens to travel abroad.


:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Faced with international pressure and the rising potential for domestic discontent, the Russian government expanded its control of the media, stepped up a propaganda campaign to justify its actions and vilify its opponents, and cracked down on independent news outlets, particularly online.
Journalists, politicians, and family members who sought to investigate the deaths of Russian servicemen in Ukraine encountered bureaucratic obstruction and trumped-up criminal charges. Regional elections in September were tightly controlled from above, with any coherent opposition eliminated.
By the end of the year, Russia?s government was increasingly isolated from the international community and struggling to neutralize anticorruption activists and other domestic critics.

The Russian education system is marred by bureaucratic interference, international isolation, and increasing pressure to toe the Kremlin line on politically sensitive topics.

In March 2014, a leading history professor was fired from a Foreign Ministry?affiliated institute for writing an opinion article that compared the imminent annexation of Crimea to Nazi Germany?s seizure of Austria. In May, Putin signed a law that prohibits the ?rehabilitation of Nazism? and the spreading of ?intentionally false information? about the Soviet Union?s World War II actions.

Historians have warned that the new law could be used to punish scholars who are critical of government policies.

Also during the year, the authorities removed more than half of the previously approved school textbooks from the country?s classrooms, leaving much of the market in the hands of a publisher owned by a close Putin associate.

Yuan (CNY) not Yen and you already know about this Dyna as we had a previous discussion where you were once again, as always, fully own3d...

If you look back in history, when the GBP was the reserve currency (and one GBP bought you 5 USD) and USD took over, the UK began its decline and actually today the US looks a lot like the UK did back then. The UK was over extended colonially, and the US is over extended militarily. Of course, both are terrible indebted today.

Technically, he is right about decline because the Reserve currency status is so crucial. Although I doubt US will disappear or at least, see the example of UK loss of super status - what happened was that the decline began not longer after 1900 and has continued ever since. However, the UK never disappeared - just fell from being No.1 (by GDP) to what it is today position No.6 - UK is the 6th largest economy in the world today.

It took a good 115 years to fall six positions.

That does not mean UK is totally irrelevant today and US would take a lot longer to move down the rankings, partly because the only country near it in terms of GDP is China (You can't include Japan because its a basket case). It's worth noting, as I pointed out in another thread that China has massive foreign currency reserves (another name for a Country's bank account):

https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-pr...ked-china.html

i point out the stupidity of the comment "the US would disappear" and you take issue with that yet still point out the US would not disappear? and you think I'm fully owned?:1orglaugh

you really are a simpleton. again, that's not an insult. It's a fact.

and so fucking what if i wrote yen instead of yaun. i mean really, you are in way over your head here, walk away before I continue to set-up a nice spot in your brain and work my magic.

when you exclaimed that CHina's economy is the most important in the world?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


that was good for a lolz that day, if i get a second, i'll track down that thread and post your drivel here for more lolz.

Owned, ignorant, clueless and definitely not well informed.

You prove that when you fail to condense your response into a single post and have to resort to multiple replies, stupidly thinking quantity is better than quality. I'll have to give you a D- :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

here's that little gem of wisdom from our resident gfy economics guru:

ahahahahahahahahahahah.

feel free to inform me as to even just 1 single fucking "metric" that shows CHina is the most important economy in the world.

the truly bizarre part of your fucked up posts is that I asked an honest valid question in reply to your exclamation, here it is

but you need to exclaim here that I was owned in reaction to my asking that question.


you really are a simpleton.

I didn't see such claim. Besides, as USA really hasn't democracy (based on study), so it's kinda hard to say it is the "most free country".

BBC News - Study: US is an oligarchy, not a democracy

then you did not click the link. USA scores 1 across the board in all categories.


no study needed to show USA is not a democratic government, it's very clear for over a couple hundred of years this is a representative government, it;'s in the consititution.

that's not to be confused with a democratic society.

Okay, it belongs to the group of "most free", as do a big bunch of other nations too, but it doesn't say that it is the most free of all. And about the democracy; it didn't mean that you lack direct democracy; it meant that you lack any kind of democracy. Are you trying to be smart ass, or just stupid?

Representative democracy is a form of democracy and it is what is meant when people speak about democracy.

Democracy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I'm not trying to be anything. What I am doing is pointing out you are wrong.

here's more proof
you try and make it personal calling me stupid or amrt ass at the same time you portray USA as fully lacking any kind of democracy?

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh


that may work in the 3rd grade but not here.

When you say 'US education', I think what you are referring to is a 'public school' education.

Assuming that's the case, what you are saying does have some merit as the quality of education one would receive at a typical US public school (elementary & high school) is not on par with the quality of education one would receive in a similar situation in Germany or Japan or a handful of other advanced countries. The problem with that logic is that it does not factor in the world class quality of education provided by many private schools.

Found a few lists.

Top World University Rankings | US News Best Global Universities
Academic Ranking of World Universities - 2014 | Shanghai Ranking - 2014 | World University Ranking - 2014

My school was ranked 30, 39, 79, 28, 29, & 39 respectively. When looking at the most international of the lists (QS Rankings), the top ranked Russian university is Lomonov which comes in at #114.

I posted the link to the news about the study. Read it yourself. Answering to that you have representative democracy is just being smart ass or stupid. Either way, it has nothing to do with that study.

USA has so sucky kind of democracy that:

"Americans do enjoy many features central to democratic governance, such as regular elections, freedom of speech and association and a widespread (if still contested) franchise. But we believe that if policymaking is dominated by powerful business organisations and a small number of affluent Americans, then America's claims to being a democratic society are seriously threatened."

At some point it is viable to say that it isn't democracy, any kind of.
