American

Why would the American nationality be better than another?

Evil-Mist: “Why would the American nationality be better than another?”

because its core values are better.

core values (such as freedom) are the essential elements of culture.

cuisine and art, by comparison to core values, are trivial aspects of culture.

for instance, a case can be made that china has a better cuisine than many another country; but china’s core values are more important than cuisine.

one of china’s core values is communism; they are a communist country. their access to information is controlled by the government.

therefore, though china may have a great cuisine, their culture is, on balance, not as good as cultures that have more freedom.

a case can be made that italy has better art than most other countries, but italy’s core values are more important than art.

multiculturalism is the view that all cultures are equal in value.

America has the best culture.

the group I belong to that is most special is “American.”

why is the American nationality better then the others? since more countrys have more core values, more freedom, more culture.

you name china, try to compare with a country as denmark, swiss, australia, netherlands, belgium, france, england, germany, spain, portugal, canada, iceland, italy, austria, greece, finland, sweden, norway…..

should i continue?

please name the place of your country, in which you claim to have freedom?

Boomstam: “why is the American nationality better then the others?”

of course every person is precious and a child of god (for those of us who believe in god).

but america is the best country ever to exist in history.

those who were born in america are fortunate.

those who move to america are smart.

Boomstam: “since more countrys have more core values”

core values being few in number, it’s not so much that one country has more core values than another; it’s that core values differ.

america’s core values:

america is unique and great because of what it says on our money: “in God we trust,” “Liberty, and “from many one.”

America is unique and great because of its unique combination of Christianity, democracy, and capitalism

Boomstam: “more freedom”

there may be a few countries with more freedom in certain areas than america. but overall, america is the country with the most liberty.

also, those countries that can beat america in certain freedoms are all tiny by comparison to america. if those countries were as large as america, their systems wouldn’t work as well as america’s.

and those countries that can beat america in certain freedoms are not players on the world stage. america is not only a player, it is THE player.

Boomstam: “more culture.”

it’s true that many other countries, being older than america, have more culture than america, that is they may have more music, more dance, more literature, and more cuisine.

but having more culture of that sort doesn’t outweigh the fact that america’s culture is the best overall, because superior core values outweigh cultural things that are trivial by comparison.

Boomstam: “should i continue?”

pray continue, my dutch friend.

sincerely,

salle the american

salle learn more about other countrys plz i saw you have added wisdom too somewhere. the really wise man would say he knows dont enough.

keep that in mind

salle: america is unique and great because of what it says on our money: “in God we trust,” “Liberty, and “from many one.”

liberty is invented in holland, the whole french revolution is invetend here. our coin says, God is with us. our prime minister and queen are christians. plz salle dont think the US is unique. because your not.

you speak that in the US you have the most liberty but in the netherlands and most other EU countrys nobody gets locked up without a trial. how is that for liberty?

offcourse is america the player in the earth. i dont doubt that with that militairy force. but look at the index of the place you can life best. denmark wins.

look at the difrences between rich and poor. its HUGE in the USA how is that for fair?

im not going to argue with you where you can life best. Only you should doubt everything and search for all truth.

doubt it all except the faith in God.

Salle, have you ever lived in any other country for any length of time – heck, even traveled outside of the US?

I always wonder if you actually know what freedom is? I just wonder if you see freedom as the amount of TV channels or the amount of choice you have in your supermarket?

There are published lists of the best places to live factoring in standards of living, freedom, crime, etc. The US comes after Western European countries and Australia.

Is this a case of the US being the best because, you know, it is, with little red, white and blue flags?

I don’t think America is the best country, in fact, as a country I hate america, although I love americans. America is always looking for what’s best for the country than what’s best for the people, and no, they arn’t always the same. Plus our history and legends can’t compare to that of other countries and I’m sure countries like the ones already mentioned are just as free if not more free than america on a personal level. I guess what I’m trying to say is, we’re still better than Canada.

The American nationality is the best nationality because the United States of America are founded on ideals/ideas, rather than on blood connection or social status. Anyone who embraces our constitution and upholds it, will make a good American and propser. Sure there are problems in the USA, but there are problems all over the world – and no society is perfect.

I am a proud American, and wouldn't want to be anything else!

Gbman, you are a white male, right? Try being a hispanic female in this racist elitist country. I dont mean to attack you, just making a point.

the american nationality is not the best but is ours as americans … we are whites we are browns yellows reds were even black … a complex mixture of many cultures combined into one… AMERICAN …. your past is our past your people are our people …....

sounds like europe

You'll find that racism and elitism is alive everywhere, not just in America.

Anyway, insert Chuck Norris jokes here.
