American exceptionalism

[dieselram94]

I hate to break your bubble, but many countries offer the same opportunities we do

Do US company's pay taxes - errr Yup
Do we have limits - Darn tootin we do

As for the American dream. Well, other countries (Insert name here) dream do too

But in America it is achieved much more often and is often on a much larger scale......kind of like Disney, Ford, and many others

Spart,

One thing the Brits are extremely good at is their dry wit....such as Monty Python(I reversed the letters on this one.....lol - these threads are getting so funny they're making me dyslexic) the carry on gang, etc.....and me thinks you fit the mold of that style also...lol.

These threads are getting funnier by the minute. Perhaps they belong in the nonsense forum

Spart: You remind of the babe.

The babe with the power.
What power?
The power of the voodoo.
Voodoo?
Who do?
You do?
Remind me of the babe.

Relax everyone ! Members from other countries have as much a right to their
opinion of the U.s.,
as U.S. Members do of other countries.

When one whole side stops throwing stones, waving flags & Pumping Chests,
I'm sure the other side will do the same.

Spart, I knew that one....one of the largest shipping lines in the world.

That my friend is only the tip of the iceberg I worked for them of several years, and even met A.P Moller himself.

Them and another huge Dane company EAC

Nope, the US doesn't have a lock on the biggest and the best

We just are!

Tell that to the Chinese when you're working for them somewhere down the road


Jeff, is it OK to wave my freak flag high

 

[Dano Sverige]

Threads gone way offline! So...anyone with an actual clue of the term got any REAL stand alone "exceptionalisms"?

 

[spartacus53]

ummm no

Hopefully Ammonhotep will happen along again and enlighten all of us

But somehow I believe he thinks every nation has their share of success stories

 

[Crispin]

Yes. What is exceptional about America is our ethnic and religious diversity. we truley r a melting pot and religious haven.

Contributed greatly to the development of motorized mobility.
Sorry spart,not claiming development of the wheel!.or Al Gores internet.
Coined the phrase for weiners hot dogs. Super bowl and its half time.
Cotton gin, dental floss,defibrillator,zippers,Ferris wheel. All born of exceptional minds and i,m sure there's more.

Dano, have you ever been to America...I'm guessing not based on your posts. Yes in other countries you can start a buisness but how many taxes are you going to pay, what limits are placed upon you, in other words here in America we still have something called the American dream.....try considering this.

They call it the American dream, because you have to be asleep to believe it..

Really, are you sure? I started with absolutely nothing and have attained it! quick pinch me and wake me up before I have a nightmare such as living in the u.k.!

[dieselram94]

Using a quote by George Carlin is supposed to add to this discussion but quotes by our founding fathers don't

 

[dieselram94]

I think you can wave YOUR freak flag high if you want to......maybe camp out under it with Dano!

I am actually a huge supporter of the founding father's principles.. Especially Thomas Jefferson ..Well besides the slavery part.. but if you think America is still the utopia it once was, you are living in the past... It might still be able to be saved, but it will be a long road ahead..
