[quote=Turbo Punz]1)"You spin my world right round..." 2)"You must help yourself before you help others" Poverty rates in the States are far worse then here in Canada. How can you help others if you can't help yourself. 3)But most people in the States can't afford it... 4)YAY... Rights movements OP 5)LOL, you're just such a big country you just happen to mooch resources off of developing countries. Not exactly helping them. More like destroying their sustainability. 6)YAY 7)We get something called the outdoors and low-population density. O_O 8)Canada's all like, "Screw trillion dollar debt pools" LOL, even China doesn't have a debt problem as you guys. 9)I win I guess? 10)American Bias to patriotic. OP, please nerf.[/quote]

[quote=Canoas]America isn't even close to being the greatest country now. Here's some evidence: 1. 38th in life expectancy - 78.2 years 2. 34th in infant mortality rate - 0.7% (or 49th according to the CIA) 3. 16th in employment rate - 66.7% 4. 85th in income equality (10%) - 15.9 (the richest 10% have 15.9x more money than the poorest 10%) 5. 89th in income equality (20%) - 8.4 (the richest 20% have 8.4x more money than the poorest 20%) 6. 31st in the PISA 2009 results in Math (15 year olds' performance in this subject) 7. 23rd in the PISA 2009 results in Sciences (15 year olds' performance in this subject) 8. 9th in fatness - 74.1% of the adult population (15+ yo) are overweight (BMI over 25, obese is BMI over 30) 9. 90th in intentional homicide rate - 5.0 (intentional homicides per 100.000 people) But Canada may be even worse, so let's check the statistics: 1. 10th in life expectancy - 80.7 years 2. 24th in infant mortality rate - 0.5% 3. 10th in employment rate - 71.5% 4. 42nd in income equality (10%) - 9.4 5. 34th in income equality (20%) - 5.5 6. 10th in the PISA 2009 results in Math 7. 8th in the PISA 2009 results in Sciences 8. 35th in fatness - 61.1% 9. 42nd in intentional homicide rate - 1.62 I hope this helped clear things out. Canada is clearly better than the US.[/quote]

[quote=BluAnimal]They weren't planning on having fireworks in the St. Louis area because it was extremely dry. The night before though it rained just enough for fireworks to be in some places so the girlfriend and I went to go watch fireworks, snuggled up in the bed of the truck and had some snacks. Also I played League :3[/quote]
