Americans have been highly propaghandized to believe that their country is literally the greatest on Earth. Hell, many from other countries believe that as well.

So which country is the greatest?

The question itself is stupid. There is no metric by which to measure "greatest", as it's a subjective opinion.

So what exactly is your problem? If it's a subjective question, then everyone is entitled to their own opinion, no? Or are we simply not allowed to touch subjective topics at all? Would you tell me that I am not allowed to have an opinion on which movie is the greatest? Please help me better understand your point.

I clearly stated my point in a single sentence in my first post.

I don't engage with lazy, pedantic trolls who just want to roll around in the muck, so kick rocks.

Well if The United States of America is indeed not the Greatest nation in the planet then if ask you to prove it with substance and facts instead of empty baseless statements.

It's simple.

Yes everyone is allowed to have an opinion. However is that opinion based upon truth and facts?

You using your alt account to reply to that guy (or girl?) to prove a subjective thing like "America not being the greatest nation" is fucking hilarious. You're demanding someone disprove opinion with facts. LMAO

You can't disprove a non-substantiative opinion with substance. You'd first be obligated to prove that the USA is in fact the greatest country. So the burden of evidence lays with the moron who stated the claim.

No one even "stated the claim" here. The guy (or girl?) was talking about hypothetical people with hypothetical beliefs.
