It's kind of ironic that the majority of people who publicly piss on this country also despise Trump. It must hurt to know that you and your ilk are the major reason Trump was elected.
Why would I be irked by Trump? I voted for him. Doesn't mean I can't call him an idiot and be honest that he isn't a very good president.
Of course there is a double standard. And they don't even try to hide it:Read this in a blog, implying there's a double standard at play here. My guess is he's right:
“Jeff Danziger, whose cartoons are syndicated in The New York Times, had a caricature of ‘a big-lipped, barely literate Condoleezza Rice, nursing the aluminum tubes cited by the White House as evidence of Iraq’s pursuit of nuclear weapons.’” Then there’s Ted Rall, who called Condi Rice President Bush’s “house nigga.”
But that’s different. Condi’s a Republican, after all."
Here's one of Rice - there are too many to pick from. How many that are wailing about the Serena cartoon were defensive of this one?

Cool. What office you running for?
You voted for Trump, so I assume you are running as a Republican. Care to let us know who you are so we can get the word out? Good place to start campaigning right here.
Initial concepts of wide area networking originated in several computer science laboratories in the United States, United Kingdom, and France.
- We invented the internet. Millions of jobs and life improvements for nearly every single person on the planet
We finished it. France started is and created the plans which we acquired.
- We build the freaking Panama Canal
In 1932 physicist Ernest Rutherford discovered that when lithium atoms were "split" by protons from a proton accelerator, immense amounts of energy were released in accordance with the principle of mass–energy equivalence. However, he and other nuclear physics pioneers Niels Bohr and Albert Einstein believed harnessing the power of the atom for practical purposes anytime in the near future was unlikely, with Rutherford labeling such expectations "moonshine."[8]
- We built/created nuclear power, lightning rod, cotton gin, steamboats, electric lights
The same year, his doctoral student James Chadwick discovered the neutron,[9] which was immediately recognized as a potential tool for nuclear experimentation because of its lack of an electric charge. Experimentation with bombardment of materials with neutrons led Frédéric and Irène Joliot-Curie to discover induced radioactivity in 1934, which allowed the creation of radium-like elements at much less the price of natural radium.[10] Further work by Enrico Fermi in the 1930s focused on using slow neutrons to increase the effectiveness of induced radioactivity. Experiments bombarding uranium with neutrons led Fermi to believe he had created a new, transuranic element, which was dubbed hesperium.[11]
In 1938, German chemists Otto Hahn[12] and Fritz Strassmann, along with Austrian physicist Lise Meitner[13] and Meitner's nephew, Otto Robert Frisch,[14] conducted experiments with the products of neutron-bombarded uranium, as a means of further investigating Fermi's claims. They determined that the relatively tiny neutron split the nucleus of the massive uranium atoms into two roughly equal pieces, contradicting Fermi.[11] This was an extremely surprising result: all other forms of nuclear decay involved only small changes to the mass of the nucleus, whereas this process—dubbed "fission" as a reference to biology—involved a complete rupture of the nucleus. Numerous scientists, including Leó Szilárd, who was one of the first, recognized that if fission reactions released additional neutrons, a self-sustaining nuclear chain reaction could result. Once this was experimentally confirmed and announced by Frédéric Joliot-Curie in 1939, scientists in many countries (including the United States, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and the Soviet Union) petitioned their governments for support of nuclear fission research, just on the cusp of World War II, for the development of a nuclear weapon.[15]
First nuclear reactor
In the United States, where Fermi and Szilárd had both emigrated, the discovery of the nuclear chain reaction led to the creation of the first man-made reactor, known as Chicago Pile-1, which achieved criticality on December 2, 1942. This work became part of the Manhattan Project, a massive secret U.S. government military project to make enriched uranium and by building large production reactors to produce (breed) plutonium for use in the first nuclear weapons. The United States would test an atom bomb in July 1945 with the Trinity test, and eventually two such weapons were used in the atomic bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
Humphry Davy developed the first incandescent light in 1802, followed by the first practical electric arc light in 1806.
The Wright Brothers are famous for flying the world's first successful airplane in 1903 - yet they may have been beaten to the record two years earlier, according to a prestigious aviation journal.
- First in flight
Jane's All The World's Aircraft claims in its 100th anniversary edition that German aviation pioneer Gustav Weisskopf was actually the first man to successfully build and fly his 'Condor' plane in August 1901.
Apple uses child labor and sweat shops? How is that good or changing lives? Can you provide any evidence of how these company change lives across the world? What about all the jobs those companies outsource to other nations for cheaper labor? How about all the companies that negatively impact world wide?
- How many jobs/changed lives have US companies improved across the world? Apple, Amazon, Facebook, Coke, Budweiser, the list is pages long. Global jobs, improvement of lives, etc.
Lot's of countries have these and many more freedoms. 180 Democracies exist in the world, and most have similar freedoms. We weren't the first country with freedoms.
- Freedom of Speech and Freedom of Expression, Freedom of Press, Freedom of Worship
Really? How so?
- Melting pot, open-ness to immigration - like no other country
Music makes a country great now?

Many countries have far more literary achievements than the US. We are aren't even current top 5 in literacy rates for God's sake.
- Literature achievements - Poe, Twain, Dickinson, Hemmingway, etc
Women did not even have the federal right to vote until 1920, and they still fight for control of their own bodies to this day. 11 countries allowed women to vote before the US and several had women serving in government before the US allowed women to vote. it's 2018 and we have yet to had a woman as President of VP. We've only had 1 ever win the nomination of a major party. Women make 79.6 cents on avg to every man in 2018. So tell us again about the feminist movement in America.
- Feminist movement
The US's accomplishments dwarf any other country's - despite being relatively young. Since 1776, our resume stands out against any other country's accomplishments. The fact that some of you liberals don't recognize American exceptionalism is offensive.
Now that I've actually read part of this, you're a complete POS. The fact that you actually think like this and spent time typing it is ridiculous. I'm now ignoring you - please move to Venezuela, North Korea or Cuba.
I just want to say I felt like I've been hammered today.
I don't think I'm going out on a limb when I say this is the worst troll this site ever had.

Not sure what office yet, and I will probably utilize the Trump method and just go with whichever party is convenient at the time and easily manipulated.
Just look for the name Ben DaKnee.
Serena was going to lose anyway and she knew it. Her ego couldn’t accept getting her big fat *** beat so she had meltdown to change the narrative. Hard to feel too sorry for her as she’s the wealthiest female athlete ever and is one of best women’s players of all time. Age, heat, and conditioning caught up with her. There will be more days like that as she keeps playing.
You have butchered this thread enough - maybe butchered this board enough with your rambling cut and paste posts as long as a doctoral dissertation as well as having 31 different screen names which I am sure is not permitted by Rivals. Like someone said in an earlier post if you are going to run for office put your real name on here so those that want to support you can, but $100 says that will never happen.
I really hope you don't put a lot of stock in rankings. Once you research how many rankings are calculated, you find that many are worthless and don't measure what you think they measure. For example, WHO used to publish a health care ranking. The ranking did not measure the quality of health care available in each country. The rankings merely measured what percentage of people in each country had access to free healthcare. So the measurement was biased toward a certain view of how healthcare should be provided.
Some of your items are similar. For example, if your corruption measure comes from Transparency International, it doesn't actually measure corruption. It measures the perception of corruption. Hardly an accurate measure of actual corruption. Not that 16th in the world would be anything to be ashamed of.
Being in the top 10 most racist countries is also very subjective. I don't know which ranking you are looking at, but in doing a quick Google search, I found several lists in which the USA wasn't in the top 25 that they showed. So once again, I wouldn't put much stock in that measure.
I'm not sure what ranking you are looking at for poverty, but many of those measure poverty by the percentage of the population that earns half or less of the average income for the country. That is a horrible measure. Someone who earns half the average income or less in the USA is living much better than someone earning half or less the average income in many other countries. A much better measure would be based on relative buying power, but that doesn't fit the narrative most are trying convey.
I'm not bothered by much of your list.
It doesn't bother me that we consume 24% of the world's energy. We are the world's largest economy, and I would expect us to consume a level of energy consistent with that.
Although I wish people were less violent, I'm not surprised at the gun violence in the this country. Unfortunately, in a free country people will do things they shouldn't. Freedom is inherently more risky than a controlled society. I value freedom, so I would rather live here.
It's not worth it to try and address every ranking you have posted, it's just important to point out that those rankings don't necessarily mean what you want to imply that they mean.

He won’t do the research. I tried to explain to him you don’t have to have the significant mathematical background like someone like me does, you just have to try to be more intellectually honest.
He’s way more interested in protecting his leftist ideological views than having a serious discussion.
Michelle Obama and Serena Williams both have dicks. Big beautiful black African American dicks. Hoo-Ha!

In all rankings? No, of course not. However, I do put a lot of faith into accurate polling that considers many factors and most accurately looks at the issued based on testing or per capita numbers. For instance, with your example I would not put much faith into because it demonstrates a couple of biases and doesn’t consider the other factors and forms of healthcare.
Transparency International commissioned the University of Passau's Johann Graf Lambsdorff to produce the CPI.
The 2012 CPI takes into account 16 different surveys and assessments from 12 different institutions. The 13 surveys/assessments are either business people opinion surveys or performance assessments from a group of analysts. Early CPIs used public opinion surveys. The institutions are:
· African Development Bank (based in Ivory Coast)
· Bertelsmann Foundation (based in Germany)
· Economist Intelligence Unit (based in UK)
· Freedom House (based in US)
· Global Insight (based in US)
· International Institute for Management Development (based in Switzerland)
· Political and Economic Risk Consultancy (based in Hong Kong)
· The PRS Group, Inc., (based in US)
· World Economic Forum
· World Bank
· World Justice Project(based in US)
Countries need to be evaluated by at least three sources to appear in the CPI. The CPI measures perception of corruption due to the difficulty of measuring absolute levels of corruption.
Validity
A study published in 2002 found a "very strong significant correlation" between the Corruption Perceptions Index and two other proxies for corruption: black market activity and overabundance of regulation.
All three metrics also had a highly significant correlation with real gross domestic product per capita (RGDP/Cap); the Corruption Perceptions Index correlation with RGDP/Cap was the strongest, explaining over three fourths of the variance. (Note that a lower index on this scale reflects greater corruption, so that countries with higher RGDPs generally had less corruption.)
It sure does seem like it would be an accurate measure. Over a 3rd of the institutions used to measure were in the US. Doesn’t seem to indicate to much a of a bias. Of all the countries, I would agree it’s not too bad, especially considering where we rank in other areas. However, it doesn’t indicate we are the best or even top 10.
Poverty level is measured per capita of the overall population and based of each countries level of poverty. Of course, US poverty level is higher than a lot of others, but that is because the US is a developed nation, so the average wage and cost of living is higher than most. Why is that a horrible measure? Also, this ranking is based off the Purchasing Power Parity, off GDP (PPP), instead of just the nominal GDP rate which if far less accurate. GDP comparisons using PPP are arguably more useful than those using nominal GDP when assessing a nation's domestic market because PPP takes into account the relative cost of local goods, services and inflation rates of the country, rather than using international market exchange rates which may distort the real differences in per capita income. No one is questioning that poorer people in poorer nations don’t have it even worse, but that doesn’t change that fact that per capita we have an incredibly high poverty rate among developed countries. That’s embarrassing and definitely not indicative of the best country in the world.
World’s largest economy? Really? You may want to look that up. China has the world’s largest economy, unless of course you are strictly looking at GDP, which would demonstrate a bias that you were speaking of earlier. Again, GDP comparisons using PPP are arguably more useful than those using nominal GDP when assessing a nation's domestic market because PPP takes into account the relative cost of local goods, services and inflation rates of the country, rather than using international market exchange rates which may distort the real differences in per capita income. among countries. PPP is often used to gauge global poverty thresholds and is used by the United Nations in constructing the human development index. These surveys such as the International Comparison Program include both tradable and non-tradable goods in an attempt to estimate a representative basket of all goods. However, I must ask you, why would economy dictate energy usage for you. Wouldn’t energy usage be more accurately measure by population. China, who also has a larger economy has 4 times as many people in the use to use energy. As does India. How in the world do you think its rationale that 4.28% of the global populations utilizes over 25% of its energy strictly based on economy?
Again, there are 180+ democracies in the world and most all have the same or similar freedoms to you. Why is crime and gun violence so much greater here than in those counties, regardless of measurement utilized?
I know you won’t address them, because you can’t. That would involve you having to see the truth.
I know you and others don’t care because it goes against what you have been taught and choose to believe. However, no facts prove we are the greatest country on earth. Most every country thinks they are the greatest. Even the North Koreans believe they are the greatest. It’s what has been ingrained in you all since you were children and it’s easier to believe that than to accept the facts that it’s not. When presented with facts, you simply shun them by saying they are inaccurate without any evidence as to why, or just simply say you don’t care or believe them. I, nor anyone else can make you accept something you refuse to accept, but facts remain, we are far from the greatest country in the world.
Just curious, what do you think makes the US the greatest country in the world?
Your inferiority complex is showing. You might want to cover it up a bit. Your need for people to believe you are more than you are is very telling. It’s a political board on a UK athletics site, don’t take it so personally.
Driving for UBER and working the drive thru at McDonalds do not equate to a significant mathematical background
If you had a mathematical background you would be able to put it on display and actually use math to prove any of it wrong. It should even be easy and fun for you. You alluded for 3 days you would be able to do this and easily be able to prove it all factually incorrect. Yet, as of today, we are still waiting for you first one.
If someone worked for McDonalds and drove for Uber what would be wrong with that? I don’t aspire to do those things, but at least they are making an effort to work and support a family without resorting to illegal means like selling drugs... Seems hypocritical for someone to be on here turning their noses up at people for their employment choices while constantly supporting the liberal ideology which you support. Talk about arrogance and lack of self awareness.
Well put... he csn’t Help but expose the weaknesses in leftist ideology
.
I stopped reading his posts because he couldn’t have a discussion without resorting to baseless ad hominem attacks.
Nothing is wrong with it. Who said there was? Why did your mind automatically associate there was something wrong with it? I think that points to a deeper internal issue for yourself.
I think if you slow down and really pay attention to what I posted, you will find it said working at McDonalds and driving for Uber do NOT make someone an expert in math or give them a significant mathematical background.
We all know you read them based on the fact you rush to post immediately after. You might want to look up what an ad hominem fallacy is and how they correlate with fact.
them
I find them entertaining yet boring and childish. Kind of like how one can’t not watch a train wreck
You are correct that it is the same antics every post - insult, attack, arrogance without basis, post a bunch of links to others work that are 64 paragraphs long so he looks smart because of the volume but he is just citing someone else’s work and thoughts and nobody reads it because it is too long and boring.
What do they say the definition of a genius is - one who is able to reduce the complicated to the simple. Here we have just the opposite - taking the simple and trying to sound smart. Shows me someone who is as another poster put it “has some serious social disorders” and it is extremely evident by the fact they easily post 50+ times a day which means they have nothing else to do rather than work, family..., they use multiple probably 2 dozen screen names) citing the fact that Rivals does not allow more than a certain number of posts for newcomers, yet rather than wait to get past that phase this person (who seemingly has multiple personalities to match the same number of screen names) just keeps making up names and even copies other posters names for his alts. Tell me that is normal. Maybe someone should let the mods know that he is having trouble getting enough posts in, and maybe they can help consolidate them into one or maybe none once they catch on to the lack of email and number or alts on the screen name. [winking]
So this liberal, beta male, cuck created an account to respond to a tennis thread? [roll]
Now you want to play dumb after you are caught disparaging people who work for McD’s and Uber. Everyone knows you were implying that someone who works at these places is not smart enough to understand high level mathematics - don’t have to be Archimedes to know that.
While working at those places is not seen in society as being “worthy” at least it is an honest wage. My dad who was fortunate to make a very good living and retired in his 40’s as a pilot always taught us it was better to be honest and make a clean living than to cheat or do something illegal. You can backtrack all you want but everyone can read what you posted and make their own conclusions, and nothing about your statement was flattering to those workers and you chose them for a reason. Now you are not only arrogant but also a liar, but everyone on here knew that already. Just don’t know screen name/personality to tell it to. Pick name and lane already or we can help do it for you.
