Is the USA the greatest country in the world?

The economy was doing pretty good (not perfect) when Clinton was in office atleast a lot better than it is now.

actually they say in a few years white people wont be the majority in the US anymore...god help us then...I dont have a problem with other races coming into the US at all as long as they learn to speak our language and use it as their primary language. I personally hate when customers at my work come up and try to talk to me in Spanish/or any other language for that matter and get mad at me when i tell them i dont understand and ask them to speak english. They just look pissed and either leave or half ass their way through english and i still can barely understand them sometimes.

Thats the thing most dont learn the language...which is irritating as hell...hell if i could get away with it i'd tell everyone that comes into work that i cant understand to fucking leave...
If white people become minorities do u think we'll get special treatment, fuck no....

On thanksgiving day, I was sitting at my parents house watching tv...think abc or something like that. all the sudden, some guy comes on a starts babbling about what an influence the latin culture has had in america. Then he goes on to say they are going to broadcast some primetime show in Spanish with english subtitles. needless to say, I got some weird looks from my parents as I started yelling at the tv this is america. we speak english here. why in the hell do we have to read what is being said on our tv. if you cant speak english get the hell out of here. If we go to other countries, they expect us to speak their language, and if we cant, well fuck us, we arent gettin around anywhere in that place.

Not trying to piss anybody off because i fuckin hate when people cant speak english around here but the USA does not have an official language like most other countries so technically you cant say speak the language. None the less im not gonna learn other languages to accommodate these people.

I don't really care what color, race, religion etc anyone is that immigrates to the USA as long as they come here legally, and come here to be come Americans. Not African-Americans, not Mexican-Americans, not Norweigian-Americans, not Muslim-Americans, not Christian-Americans, but AMERICANS... Period.
Lots of diversity, and the freedom to pursue your dreams is what has made this country great.

I can see if u get laid off a little help till u can get to another job (which u should be immediately trying for)...but if someone just doesnt wanna work then fuck them, they should starve....

I've never used any illegal drug in my life. Druggies tend to piss me off on the occasions that I've dealt with them.
I'm pro legaliaztion, though. What people do in their home or at a private party is their business, not mine.
I think we can progressively repeal the war on drugs, and pot is a logical starting point. The affects of pot on a person are certainly no worse than alcohol consumption, and the damage done from alcoholism to the individual and to society seem to be considerably more impactful.
Every rapist that is let out of jail earliy to make room for someone using or selling pot is a total perversion of justice.

So the transfer payments used by the government can be a good thing. You cant think that everybody is a free loader. There are real disabled or povershed people that actually need this income. Also the federal programs that created jobs and helped us get out of the great depression was a good thing and they continued into the 50's with projects such as the new deal, interstate system, hoover dam, etc. It just does not have the impact on our economy these days because it is so much bigger. I do agree we should not support the freeloaders though and have a tougher system to beat.

Considering that wasnt the only thing that go us out of the depression...WWII had a great deal to do with it...war stimulated our economy, especially when we werent fighting and just selling our weapons to other countries...Yes the govermnet funded war was good too...but all that shit wasnt pointless like you said earlier. Transfer payments can be good...especially with the multiplier effect.
