Ok hello, i am seing so many americans saying that USA is the best country, and i just don't understand, what makes it better than mine (Ireland). Ireland is a free democratic society, i do as i wish, Ireland has been voted best quality of life (2005) and has the second most GDP per gapita in the world. Now i can understand if you prefer america, why is it only Americans who say things like that? Well maybe if Ireland was as big as the Usa and was right next to the capital of the world for immigrants (Mexico), it would have just as much immigrants. If we live longer here and recieve more GDP per capita, on average we have better lives. Yes, america has produced lots of things, but there is still extreme poverty (worse than any other MEDC) the health service is very expensive, and very bad obesity rates. I can speak my mind here, in fact, there are no guns here and no racism, so we are safer. Now please explain how you are a better country. What makes you so better?

You have to be kidding, no racism or violence in Ireland? If it is pure utopia I should probably move there. However, I think the biggest reason America is considered the greatest by many is because of the opportunities that exist here. You may be right about GDP or expensive health care (which could use an overhaul), but because America is founded on capitalistic principles it is more likely someone can achieve greater wealth. The country is more about individual accountability and liberty than it is about forcing equality, etc. It is a personal choice obviously. I've traveled all over the world and am grateful each time I return to America.

Oh, it's you again, the one who claims 9/11 was faked by the Americans.
Now that you finally claim a country I'm wondering if you are the woman that said "The trouble with me is that I am a vindictive old shanty-Irish b*#ch.” Is your name Eleanor? (Eleanor Medill Patterson quote)
America is also a free society. And we are free to help other nations combat poverty. And we are free to help you stay free if the occasion ever arises.
When anyone asks me about the Irish character, I say look at the trees. Maimed, stark and misshapen, but ferociously tenacious.
I think you ignored your history lessons. Remember when Ireland had 4 million people but because of trying to promote industry, forgot to plant potatoes and a great famine either killed or drove away your people. And how about the first Irish immigrants to Ellis Island. America is so bad but, the Irish couldn't wait to get here. I think you are angry about your own country's blunders that you have to insult other countries so that you can feel better about your own.
Something you said is almost right. Yes, Ireland has the second highest level of MDMA (you said MEDC, can't even get your addictions right) )consumption in the world (Ecstasy). Makes us wonder if you are enjoying it right now.
According to popular belief, "The Irish ignore anything they can't drink or punch.” And “The Irish don't know what they want and are prepared to fight to the death to get it” maybe that is why all your questions are so hostile.
Winston Churchill said,
“We have always found the Irish a bit odd. They refuse to be English.”

it may take place even even though it quite is not going. the US shape might limit this form of pass. even although, if a President wanted to be an absolute monarch, he could assume the terrific to set aside or redraft the form. His undertaking could be getting human beings to settle for his valid proper to try this. In prepare, an absolute monarch will remember on the loyalty of the two the army or the police - ideally the two. So if the President persuades the army and/or police to assist the adjustments and to be prepared to implement them, they are going to stick. on the different hand, unpopular leaders are continually in threat of overthrow or maybe after many many years, if a properly-liked insurrection manages to sway the police or military, the chief will in basic terms be swept away. consequently, on an analogous time as that's available (yet very no longer likely) that the US could become an absolute monarchy, that's magnificent that it would stay that way for terribly long.
