Alright, Militarily speaking... yes.

While energy and domestic advances aren't US strong suits, laughs, there is no doubt the US is, FOR THE TIME BEING, the most powerful country in the world. But trust me, I know that won't last forever. Unless we have some major reforms, we're gonna fall behind real quick.

There was a case where some kids were playing knock knock run (you know where you bang on the door and run away) and as these kids of about ten ran away the guy came out of his house butt naked and shot them in the back because he claims he thought they were robbing his house. He recieved no punishment as he was within the law.

In conclusion, from across the ocean, America seems a strange and deadly place.

We have to do no such thing, our gun laws should be ENFORCED, not repealed, or changed. Look at Switzerland, it has the highest gun ownership levels per capita in the world, and yet have one of the lowest crime rates, coincidence, I think not.

You mean that utter and complete failure in which thousands of people die every year while waiting because of it? Yeah, um no. Competition increases quality, it's as simple as that. The United States is actually one of the most advanced, and powerful nations in the world, not to mention during the progressive era (you know, that time when conservatives were running and the economy was booming and subsequently the country) we were the best in nearly every aspect.

The US is the richest country in the world. There are no doubts about that, but that's because of sheer numbers.

Japan is by far not the most technologically advanced, most of their products and advancements, are made in the United States, by AMERICAN scientists, they simply get credit because it's a Japanese company.
