Is the United States of America an exceptional country?

Does the US have a special place in history like the Roman Empire, Hellenic Greece, the British Empire, etc.
Do we, as a country, mean something to the world. If we weren't here or ceased to exist would the world be a darker place?
As some people say about work, are we the indespensible country?

If we weren't here many countries would have to find someone else to hate.

Define exceptional. Exceptional in what way?

I already did that....can't you read at all?

While on the subject of missing airliners, have they located the remote island yet? If so, was the 777 "still" camouflaged?

Most definitely yes. The countries which despise us do so because they aren't us.

There are many other wonderful countries but whenever I travel I am always the happiest when I return. I would like to know from anyone who chose either of the last 2 options, where in the world would you prefer to live permanently?

would he have used wmd's on Israel? how many dead? of course Israel would never have stood for that and Baghdad would still be glowing purple in the night sky after the Israelis nuked it.

our compassion for the oppressed of the world to you is a weakness. to those who are oppressed, poor, controlled and without hope America is the shining beacon of a better way of life. why else do they flock here illegally? even the huge risks are worth it. they have nothing to lose and nothing in their own nations to look to for a better life.

you are like sports fans who hate the Patriots solely because they are the champions.
you hate America. that's perfectly clear. America to you is the great evil that imposes its will on a world that would clearly rather be left alone. we probably should leave them alone. in poverty, war, oppression and despair. but we don't. we've nearly ruined our own nation is this effort to oppose dictators, communists, fascists. has it been worth it? that depends. if we are successful yes it will be. the world has a chance to be free and prosperous. if we fail the world becomes dark and evil. ruled by pedophile Muslims and brutal communists who deny freedom to their people. in the true legend of a hero, someone who has the might and will to oppose such evil is compelled to act. today, only one Nation fits this description.

The United States of America

Go to Switzerland and Austria, then go to Thailand and the PI. Switzerland is so wonderful it seems like a dream every time I am there.

Hopefully, Mr. Trump will makes us a better country again.

Just try to get on the dole in Switzerland, or immigrate there if you have nothing to offer them. They will fuck a bitch up.

You can either go to Tel Aviv once again.

Or you can go to Hell!

Take your pick, Loser (as in you lost the wager).

Yes. And like those countries, we are falling into the ash heap of history due to our own internal corruption. We used to be exceptional. Not anymore.

Genocide of native americans, only country to use nuclear weapons on civilians (twice), lies about reasons for war, overthrowing democratically elected governments. This country as also done plenty of good things, like defeating the Nazis, bring the Balkan genocide to an end, fighting al Qaeda, humanitarian aid all over the world.

The assertion that we are "exceptional" is like telling the rest of the world we think we are better than all of them. . .its arrogant and one of the reasons so many hate us.

Genocide of native americans,
fuck them. they were killing themselves before we ever got here just like blacks in Africa. it was a mercy killing.


only country to use nuclear weapons on civilians (twice), lies about reasons for war,
we lied about Pearl Harbor? i've head some fucked up revisionist history but this takes the cake.

overthrowing democratically elected governments.
Name one.
