And if we want to talk about LGBT rights, New Zealand is now open to same sex marriage unlike the US where only 14 states allow same sex marriage.
So which country is free-er?

!!!! Like... Zimbababou is better cause they allow you to kill people and for people who are passionate about killing it's an important value. Zimbababou is therefore the freest country.

How could i possibly not know that when I was the one that pointed out that per capita America is not the richest country in the world?

Well because we are talking about the richest country. While Qatar and other countries with the biggest per capita in the world is still dependent with the US, Japan and other powerful countries, the world is slowly turning out to have much bigger scope than 50 years ago when the US totally OWNS exports. The world is now in a more competitive phase where US exports are shrinking by the day while other countries (again like China) growing a lot. Unless the US government gets their **** together, this phase will continue to totally flat out the US in a short period of time.

2. The US has destroyed many countries and imposed paths, stereotypes and imaginaries about them. Also designed a model of how a country should be and how should it develop.
3. Their economic sistem was imposed all over the world. It has probed being unstable and destructive for other countries and also for the US.
4. The US is the only country that refused to sign environmental agreements. Also is the country with less reduction of environmental impact.
Take a seat sis

Russia used some American stuff such as B-25 bombers, but America didn't supply the 84,000 T-34 tanks or the 45 million rifles and submachine guns or the 40 million soldiers

There's a reason the pope lives in Rome, not Detroit. He would be stabbed for wearing a dress

You guys love saying the negatives. But America had had so much positives. There's a reason why it's the most innovative country in the world, and why it's economy is the largest.
America gets people angry for sure. You can't be proud of your country or say anything nice because you're arrogant. Other countries love to push stereotypes of the American. But little do they know they're doing the same exact thing.
So drink your Coke, watch your American film, listen to your American music, and surf your American Google or social network while using your American computer software.

This whole post...
Avril moved to the US in 2007 (5 years into her career), Nelly has ALWAYS lived in Canada. Bieber... is Bieber (I before E, honey).
As for Drake:
Quote:
"For tax purposes, I need a U.S. residence," said Drake. So he's officially moved in right?
"Yeah," he continued. "But I didn't necesarily move here, I still live in Toronto but I have a residence here now so I'll be splitting my time. I still love Toronto with all my heart, it's the greatest place in the world but I just needed to come to the U.S."

and the Uk would most likely have won WW1 without the USA (but, it would've taken another year or two)
|
Sis we joined in 1941 (At least 4 years of active involvement, seeing as how it ended in '45) and if the U.S. hadn't been supplying and helping GB and China's asses (Neutrality Patrol, supply lines to China), Japan wouldn't have attacked us and we wouldn't have entered the war. We tried to let everyone else sort out the mess with some material help, but the lessors couldn't do it.

It's such a flawed logic. If we think about his concept then his concept of a "free" country is a country with no rules at all which is what the term "free country" means now. A free country is basically a country where people are safe to walk the streets at any time of the day while worrying less about their safety. A free country is where the government makes fantastic rules and regulations and in which people agree to be apart of. We can't say the same about America right now.
Btw, I'm not from New Zealand but I am impressed by how that country circulates all around.
