Nedich Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 America hands down is the best country to live in, I dont see why this is even an argument best armed forces - safest I read somewhere that there are 80 gun related deaths every day in the USA. But i'm sure you're right, just because it has the largest army it automatically becomes the safest place to live :roll: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Viktorkrum77 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 America hands down is the best country to live in, I dont see why this is even an argument best armed forces - safest Um, Switzerland is much more powerful than the US when it comes to military technology. Bigger isn't always better, in this case the most technologically advanced is, which is Switzerland. BTW China has a bigger army. :wink: Me doing staff.

insane Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Less than 5% of Americans are considered to be Obese. If you think about it, that's ~1/20 people. That's quite a high rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're apparently not educated on the military technology the Swiss posses. And they have an army, I believe it's mandatory at a certain age to get training. Me doing staff.

blue107 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 Ok, this is an obese man- This guy would be one of the most obese people alive by your standard(using the BMI) Pretty much any athlete would be obese because it doesnt account for muscle. Um, Switzerland is much more powerful than the US when it comes to military technology. Bigger isn't always better, in this case the most technologically advanced is, which is Switzerland. Are you saying Swiss would win in a war because they have better DEFENSES? Only one country could ever even challenge the US, and thats Russia 485th person to ever play RuneScapeBlue107- perm banned 10/12/2007. $300 USD reward if you can get me in contact with someone who will take 5 seconds to look at evidence and get my original character unbanned.

Nedich Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 there is also over 300 million people in the united states. You obviously don't realise the size of that number. Countries such as the UK with roughly a 60 million population have about 2 deaths a day, compared to 80? Statistics my friend, should I google it? As you'll probably bleat source...

And that's what counts, not sheer size (China) or pure technology (Sweeden). "Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

das1330 Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 the swiss airforce actually uses f-18 fighters they bought from the untited states and they do have a conscript army, but with training of only 6 weeks its not nearly as effective as a regular standing army. vehicles: * Leopard 2 main battle tank * CV90 infantry fighting vehicle * M109 howitzer self-propelled armoured artillery@ * Mowag Piranha armoured troop transport@ * MOWAG Eagle armoured patrol vehicle@ (modified hummer) at least 1/2 of the vehicles they use are bought from the united states, marked with a @ sorry victor, you might be able to win the obesity argument, but theres no way youll get this one. oh and heres a crime rate statistic map http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Statistics35.gif Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell of a lot better than 1/3. I agree that America is an overweight nation, but some Euros have ridiculous misconceptions about us.

malo2 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 statistics aside, why is it that everywhere I go I see people trying to bash the US, or find ways to show its not good. Sure its not anywhere near the best country, but it is the richest by GROSS, its true that it sometimes tends to have a bit of a loud mouth, but thats usually necessary because it seems to be the only one taking any real action against obvious threats. Whenever theres talk about different countries, it always leads to people trying to make one country in particular look bad for no reason, Id much rather live in the US than China, because in the US, finding a mini'mum wage job is very easy, and the minimum wage is over $7 usd \ Lastfm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

____ Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 and the minimum wage is over $7 usd \ Which is not a good thing in the least bit.better than $1.25 + tips. At least the bulk of your wage is not determined by the people you serve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
