White Pride?

[CapnAwesome]

What is there to be particularly proud of in America?

If you like the political system over there you are mad. Ours is better and there are probably even better systems elsewhere.

I know you can't like the health system coz it's the worst in the developed world.

The social programmes suffer in comparison as well.

I've heard it said that America is the richest nation on earth but actually it's the most indebted.

It's not the worst nation in the world but is it something to be proud of now, in a post Bush world where the glitter has been blown off and all standards abandoned at the first sign of trouble?

America is neither the most indebted (per capita) nor does it have the worst health care system in the developed world. Not according to the WHO, which ranks the US 37th in the world, ahead of a few first world countries like New Zealand and South Korea and only a few notches behind Canada. I agree that the health care isn't what it should be for sure, but it's just inaccurate to say it's 'the worst.' Maybe for accuracy you can say 'one of the worst.' http://thepatientfactor.com/canadian-hea...h-systems/
