American Exceptionalism

[Boringanarchy2]

America is the latest in a long line of powers think they are tops and on their way down and out. We replaced England and the rest of Europe as the largest power and we'll eventually be replaced. We got to the top through a combination of luck, blood, and political expediency. Nothing exceptional about us.

You don't need luck if you have the skill
US got to the position of superpower because it had better law than the rest of the world, you had most freedom, and in the long run that is what matters in the competition of states. Now, your government has been corrupting your law against your constitution for a long time and your country is in decline.

corrupting your law against your constitution.

Please explain.

Yeah, all skill in having an ocean between us and Hitler. US got into this position because WWII basically bankrupted England and destroyed the colonial moment. Better law had nothing to do with it and the only freedom that mattered was the freedom to maintain our political and economic hegemony through any means necessary.

American Exceptionalism is just a racist, imperialist idea created by dogmatic, intolerant, conservatives as an excuse for their reprehensible behavior. It should be ignored.

The US having the "most freedom" is not quantifiable, it also is not true.

SOOO TRUE! And BcBudds, I wouldn't mind moving to Canada when I am older. I spent some time in Toronto on a school trip and I thought it was amazing.

If you do decide to move to Canada... I highly suggest against Toronto. I've lived in Manatoba and Ontario just near Toronto for a while and prefer BC now, nicer weather also

Serious question about Canada, do you all mind having such a noisy southern neighbor? Cause all kidding aside, I don't think many Americans have many unkind things to say about Canada.

That's not true...we make fun of Canada all the time. Although most of the time it is one of these three:
1) sarcastically to make fun of America
2) a stupid comment about ice, igloos or polar bears
3) making fun of the "aboot"

Hence the comment about kidding...

Don't like that you guys are screwing us on on gas prices haha. It all comes from Alberta but because of some contract we sell it all to you Guys then u sell it back, were paying like 1.30-1.40/liter.

Haha and you can't really make fun of us because whatever you try we just laugh at as well wanna hear all aboot it? Like hell I just took my polar bear for a walk down to the beer store after I finished my lumbajackin when we ran into a killer moose, but don't worry, frizzy, that's ma bears name took care of it with one big roar so I got ma beer just fine (5% I might add) and am on ma way out ice fishin'... Eh

Holy .poo.! You pay 1.30-1.40 a liter (for those who are well...American that's $4.92-$5.30/gallon). When gas prices were that high here, people started throwing hissy fits. We are back down to around $3.74/gallon on average here.
