Realpost:

We don't hate you. Point of fact Europeans don't even think of you pretty much ever. Just like you get on with your own lives, Europeans do the same. We go to work, come home, go out and meet friends, stay in and watch the telly, whatever. But then on the internet we then come across Americans backslapping each other and how amazeballs they think they are and how everyone is jealous of them and we're like... really? And so we react to that because its obnoxious and basically wrong. Its hard to be jealous of something that is of little consequence to you. Maybe if we were in a brown country that you like to bomb we would think about you and hate you more. I'm sorry you are not as important to our everyday lives as you think you are.

This is basically America on the internet.

Read the comments on any website that has anything even remotely to do with the US. Foreigners are loving frothing at the mouth with hatred.

I'm a foreigner and I'm not. My friends are foreigners and they're not either. Like I say we got more important poo poo to care about than America. Newsflash tabitha, you are not as important as you think that you are. Sorry.

Ask any European what they think of Americans and they'll be like...

"Oh yeah, Americans, they're mostly pretty cool people but I wish they'd stop banging on about how amazing they are all the time cos I loving hate that"

And then they get back to munching their sausages, croissants etc.

Why not try humility? Clearly being liked is massively important to yall and as far as I can tell it would do wonders for your global image. That and stop bombing brown people.

You obviously don't have a whole lot of poo poo to worry about because you're too busy getting butthurt over some American posting on the internet.

Case in point.

Can we not get better ambassador in this thread for USA than an alcoholic buttchugger who wants to beat up his own mum please? It's kind of hard to take you seriously.

Serious Question

What country is actually better than the US? This is taking into account all of the triumphs and pitfalls.

Serious Answer

Best at healthcare: Netherlands
Best at football: Brazil
Best at peace: Iceland
Best at baseball: Cuba
Best at art: France
Best at food: Italy
Best at life expectancy: Japan
Best at hockey: Canada
Best at education: South Korea
Best at being rich: Qatar
Best at democracy: Norway

I guess your probably best at a few things like autism, childhood obesity and gun murder though but good effort anyway

GDP per capita does not mean "highest GDP", it means highest average purchasing power across the population

which country has the highest GDP

Newsflash belinda, per capita is the most accurate to look at statistics when comparing different places. I'll tell you why. It's because places have different populations of people. I know that's a hard concept for you to grasp.

which would matter if the question was "which country has the richest population" instead of "which country is the richest", hope this helps

since apparently you really are a bit thick i'll explain it a bit simpler...

Place A has 100 people and 50 of them are killed by guns.

Place B has a million people and 51 of them are killed by guns.

Which one is the most saferest? if we use your method its Place A but if we go by per capita its Place B. This is why per capita is important when talking about populations of people.

Not really, Australia is a bunch of inbred criminals, while the US was created because England was too loving dumb to think that the colonies could actually pose a threat. "Oh, look at these stupid colonials, they think they can stand against the might of the British Navy." Well, they did, and it's probably one of the most hilarious and embarrassing defeats in history.

"The British embassy in Washington has apologised after tweeting a picture of a White House cake surrounded by sparklers, "commemorating" the burning of the building 200 years ago.
The US presidential residence was set on fire by British forces in 1814 during the "War of 1812" with the United States.
A number of Twitter users said the embassy's tweet was "in poor taste".
The embassy later said: "Apologies for earlier Tweet."
It added: "We meant to mark an event in history & celebrate our strong friendship today."
'Only sparklers!'
British troops led by Maj Gen Robert Ross attacked and burned public buildings including the Capitol, Washington Navy Yard and the president's mansion during the conflict.
It was the only time that a foreign power has captured and occupied Washington.
The offending tweet on Sunday read: "Commemorating the 200th anniversary of burning the White House. Only sparklers this time!"
The British embassy message, published on its official Twitter account, has been retweeted more than 4,000 times.
One user questioned: "Is this suppose [sic] to be funny"?
Another wrote: "I think this is in extremely POOR TASTE."
An apology was issued on the account two hours after the original message."

im not sure why americans get their knickers in a twist over actual genuine historical poo poo that happened



end of the day its important to acknowledge things that happened so that you can learn from them

again: that would matter if the question was about the population and not the country

I'm not asking "in which country is any random person likely to be rich", I'm asking "which country, as a collective entity, is richest"

no you said 'which country is richest'

per capita is how you work out which country is safest and the same applies to richest. if you got a billion people sharing a hundred dollars that doesnt make them live in a richer country than one with a single guy with 99 dollars. use your brain come on.

Firstly to everyone having a spack attack over the Great British royal family, they cost the taxpayer an average of 56 pence per year. That's not even the price of a Mars bar but when you consider all the entertainment provided by Prince Philip's antics not to mention all the lovely tourist revenue generated by all you lot coming over here trying to catch a glimpse of the Queen's in her knick-knocks it's money well spent I should cocoa.
