"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed. But they produced Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance. In Switzerland, they had brotherly love. They had 500 years of democracy and peace. And what did that produce? The cuckoo clock."

Even in the "best" nations there are people living in despair, but I'm not complaining about the free education, health care and all other "free" stuff i've gotten from this country.It's candy. Surely there are more important things the NAACP could be boycotting. If the candy were shaped like a burning cross or a black man made of regular chocolate being dragged behind a truck made of white chocolate I could understand the outrage and would share it. - DrosedarsComment

The US as best nation to live? You cannot be seriousI will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Of course all of these responses are from non-americans. Everytime I talk to one of my countrymen, they tell me I live in the greatest country in the world. If the UN is correct, how can they be so wrong?"In Italy for 30 years under the Borgias, they had warfare, terror, murder and bloodshed.
