On a rough calculation ( based on current population and PPP estimates ) they would have a combined PPP per capita of $10,800 (international $) which places this theoretical nation at 75th - 80th out of the world. Definitely not best.
Well, we need not be the best, friend. We just need to be united.
Time will only tell if we will advance even further. Hopefully we will. And even if we are not the best right now, why should we not strive to be the best?
Such ideas like "we can never be this" and "we can never be that" are words of a loser. He has accepted to be the loser from the start. With such weak minded individuals, we cannot even advance further than the state we're in right now. Why actually strive to build an industry? Why actually strive to create our own technology? Why actually strive to create a clean society?
Why strive to combat social injustice? We will strive to do our best.
That is the least we should do.
Quote:1. You're a racist.1. I am, and I am proud to state this. Obviously, there are a lot of negative connections that are associated with this word.
2. I never said I consider myself better than anyone.
3. The rights of the individual should be held over the rights of a society because if even one person's rights are infringed upon, you're doing it wrong.
4. I do not consider myself above the law, although I will advocate it's change if the law infringes on rights or if it's based on incredible ignorance.
5. I advocate unity. In fact, I'd love it if we'd stop all this bullshit about "my country this, my country that, I'm going to start wars and murder people for my country". That's not unity. I consider myself, first and foremost, a citizen of the Earth and then a citizen of America.
6. Respecting the individual and placing yourself above people are not the same thing.
In Turkish, racist means "Irkçı". It takes on the same suffix as "Kralcı", which means "supporter of the King". For me, a racist person is a person that supports his own race, and supports it above all others.
Whatever connections you seem to associate with it are not really of my concern.
2. You don't have to. You do so every time you vote, you assert moral superiority to others, although you claim no racial superiority, you have it in you every time you speak of christians, where you claim to be individually, superior to them.
3. What if those "supposed" rights infringe upon my rights? Obviously the society is always above the people, as people exist as nothing more than animals without society.
4. I'm glad to hear that you are not someone who supports anarchy, though. Sensible person, you are.
5. There is no country called earth, friend. Besides, country this, country that are things that exist due to the social evolution we've went through. These are the pinnacle of human social evolution. The nation state.
