Why the USA is a disgrace

Inb4 Nymph starts screaming and crying, learn how to debate and accept criticism.

As usual, you take things someone says, way out of context because you read far more into it than necessary.

Stop making straw man arguments then.

I wasn't. Perhaps you should stop having more dick in your personality than what is presumably in your pants and quit putting words in other people's mouths.

Judi was speaking about the USA, and saying how she would prefer to live there than some other countries, that doesn't imply at all what you suggested it implies, EP.

To me it does. I don't see why she would point out such an obvious thing otherwise.

To you it does. You don't see why. Okay, and?

EP, unintentionally or not, it was you making a strawman because you suggested she implied things she didn't even after she clarified that she didn't.

EP there was no argument, or strawman argument.  The thread got to the point where a conversation about where people would rather live had arisen, then someone explained they would rather live in America than a lot of other places in the world even though it isn't perfect.

You made a strawman argument by saying the world isn't divided between hellish countries and the USA, which no one said was the case to begin with.

You're basically saying hey your statement is too simplistic so I'm going to purposefully misinterpret it to mean things you never said, claim you were arguing about something you weren't, then argue against the points you never made.

[Edwardo Piet]

Perfectly put, Pablo.

Wherever you live, your home country is a disgrace. And a pleasant surprise. And all things in between. Name calling reflects on the speaker, not the target.

That's his normal "go to" bullshit whenever he has nothing else to say and he wants to derail a thread with his circular arguments.

The main question seems to be, what policy you country persues and how it influences the rest of the world. Quite naturally, as I said, the impact of the US fucking up is bigger.
