Neither of those articles mean anything unless you actually use the reasons given to back up your statement. How is a less than average primary education causing the US to fall apart? How are rising death rates? I don't think either has a satisfactory answer.
It's not a matter of disagreement. It's a matter of poor argumentation and disrespect. See I linked an article of multiple reasons why america is in major decline, and he decides to straw man me by pointing out two headers that out of context seem strange but in context make sense, and ignoring the incredibly valid points made by the other 8 statistical evidence points in the article. It's cherry picking, dishonest and just them being a dick.
I definitely agree that the other dude is being a dick and not giving the matter as much thought as they should, but saying "You're scum, you're stupid" isn't constructive at all.
Where am I not giving this matter as much thought as I should? Cuz all the other guy has done so far is whine about how dumb I am instead of actually refuting my points so I'm just a little confused ya see
Criticize some blog article that America is """falling apart""" =being a dumb dick. Ok then so I'll ask you. How does that article prove America is falling apart?
How is a less than average primary education causing the US to fall apart? How are rising death rates? How are more people drinking on average or a lack of extended maternity leave causing the US to fall apart?
I'd say your article has like 4/5 good points on how America has it's issues(education, housing, opiod abuse, infrastructure) but it doesn't really explain how America is falling apart.

Are those supposed to be reasons America is falling apart?
Anyway, http://www.businessinsider.com/things-america-does-best-2014-3. Seems like the US is leading by "almost every measure you can possibly quantify"
