No. Making a declarative statement that "America is the best country in the world" is silly unless you've been to other GOOD countries to compare them to. OF COURSE America is better than a 3rd world $#@!hole! Nobody's saying otherwise!
Not worth responding to. I think you know what I mean, but you want to defend blind patriotism--it's kind of like Awyrryrlry says--it's the whole guns and God stereotype.I suppose I have to try strychnine before knowing its poisonous as well or taste stale bread before knowing fresh bred tastes better?
Sorry--but I do not accept the idea that being intolerant of intolerance is THE SAME THING as being intolerant of anything else.
Then your argument still makes zero sense. How do you know he didn't review all countries in your beloved Europe and still came to the same conclusion? Assuming facts not in evidence
You assumed ignorance of your opponent based on a personal bias against that declared statement. I wouldn't be doing cartwheels on that logic.Not worth responding to.

Come sit down beside me I said to myself
And although it doesn't make sense
I held my own hand as a small sign of trust
And together I sat on the fence

I doubt he's been all over Europe and NZ and Australia to make this conclusion. Generally people who make those kinds of herpy derpy "USA USA USA is the best country in the world!" kinds of statements know the least about living in other modern civilized technological 1st world countries. It's like how someone saying "I'm intelligent" usually doesn't show much intelligence.
