We have yet another mass shooting going on.

I guess the term "slave labor" doesn't have a universally accepted definition.



Does this mean China will soon render the US un-exceptional?

No, cause their people are poor as ****.

It really is impossible for you just to say "I was wrong. My bad. Sorry." Isn't it?

Not actually trying to defend Ben here but when have you done that?

[Dinner]

All the time on multiple forums. If I am wrong I usually do at least own up to it.

[Ben Kenobi]

Nah. It's just pure racism. The people who believe in "American exceptionalism"... what color are they? What color do they believe you need to be in order to be "American"?

I'm responsible for the sava 2 minute hate troll on America in a thread where Americans died? Gosh, I don't see why I'm responsible for other people's ****ty behavior. Back on topic.

No, cause their people are poor as ****.

Are we going by per capita GDP then? Maybe we should be discussing Norwegian exceptionalism.

If your country is smaller than ****ing singapore and loaded with oil then no there's nothing special

norway is smaller than singapore?! have you ever thought about consulting an atlas?

american exceptionalism certainly exists, because some americans believe in it. in the same sense that some greeks believe in greek exceptionalism and some pakistanis believe in pakistani exceptionalism and so on etc.

[giblets]

Singaporean exceptionalism then?

Norway has 300,000 fewer people than Singapore. Have you ever consulted an atlas?

Yes but unlike Americans they are wrong.

[DaShi]

The fact remains, you only count it if it makes America look good.

Maybe you should ask money back for your geography lessons - atlasses rarely say anything about population - they tend to say something about the size of countries.

[Al B. Sure!]

Nowadays it's the reverse, south is looking to have a much higher GDP than the north. You can thank unions for that.

What?

GDP per capita:

If your atlas doesn't have population numbers it's a ****ty atlas.

American exceptionalism exists because it must. We are the richest, most powerful nation in the world and the world's first modern constitutional democracy. Our system of government, culture, and way of life is the envy of and has been adopted globally. It is not the same as 'greek exceptionalism' or anything else so predicated on an ethnic identity. Americanism is life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, ideals with global appeal that must reach the darkest corners of the earth for the sustainment of human progress and the betterment of all mankind. A world without America is a dark world of suppression, genocide, and poverty.

Look at how rich northern Virginia is compared to the ****hole that is Philadelphia. I think you've proven HC's point.
