LOl. That's fkin crazy. That prison is freaking crazy, but I can't believe it works... xD
"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. This world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its laborers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children. The cost of one modern heavy bomber is this: a modern brick school in more than 30 cities. It is two electric power plants, each serving a town of 60,000 population. It is two fine, fully equipped hospitals. It is some fifty miles of concrete pavement. We pay for a single fighter plane with a half million bushels of wheat. We pay for a single destroyer with new homes that could have housed more than 8,000 people. This is, I repeat, the best way of life to be found on the road the world has been taking. This is not a way of life at all, in any true sense. Under the cloud of threatening war, it is humanity hanging from a cross of iron."- Dwight D. Eisenhower
Well, i was borned in MYANMAR....or BURMA....it is neither communist nor socialism. I think it is military junta or sth like that. For those who dont know what military junta is.... here is the definition
a government led by a committee of military leaders
So, it was also not a democracy country where you can say that YOU HATE YOUR LEADER...or sth... And before i moved to singapore, there was a riot or sth like that and we cannot even go out and buy food ....
Yeah, some communist countries are good and some are bad...I have not experienced them before. So yeah, I thought military junta and communist were the same but apparently they are not....thats why i used the term communist in my last post...I am sorry if i offended communist country...
This is a very talked about thread but i still think that canada is Best , and for USA if ur natural born players were any good u would like it.
Seriously paroxysm, not everyone has the same lifestyle. My aunt lived there, and she had to buy diapers on the black market. It was not a good place to live.
BTW: yeah norway looks nice and all,(beating france is easy, since they have never won a war lol.) But you can't do that with big nations, it just won't work.
There is no need to put it this way. The only thing we are best at is getting things done the right way; were organized. Europe is getting there. Islamic and Arabian countries reject our helping hand, and take it the wrong way, therefore wars break out. We are just quick learners?
Great point, I agree. And people are stereotyping Americans as overly-patriotic, fat, stupid, couch potatoes. Well let me tell you, its not the truth. We've had some douche-bag presidents... that's the problem. Like Bush. Hell, every damn republican in the house.
Well we carry almost every country, we are not bragging or anything so calm down.
usa is the BEST country any one who belives otherwise is a communist
Maybe we are a proud nation because we are the creators of almost every convience that you have in your line of sight has something to with this short list of American Inventions.
1784 Bifocals Benjamin Franklin is usually credited with the creation of the first pair of bifocals in the early 1760's, though the first indication of his double spectacles comes from a political cartoon printed in 1764.

After taking his operation to Chicago, McCormick prospered. By 1871 his company was selling 10,000 reapers per year.
1833 Sewing Machine Walter Hunt invents the first lock-stitch sewing machine, but loses interest and does not patent his invention.

He reorganized and sold his first major order to the War Department during the Mexican War in 1846, and went on to become rich.

1857 Passenger Elevator Safety System Elisha Graves Otis dramatically demonstrates his passenger elevator at the Crystal Palace Exposition in New York by cutting the elevator's cables as it ascends a 300 foot tower. Otis' unique safety braking system prevents the elevator from falling; his business prospects rise.
1858 Burglar Alarm Edwin T. Holmes of Boston begins to sell electric burglar alarms. Later, his workshop will be used by Alexander Graham Bell as the young Bell pursues his invention of the telephone. Holmes will be the first person to have a home telephone.
1859 Oil Well Drilling at Titusville, Pennsylvania, "Colonel" Edwin Drake strikes oil at a depth of 69.5 feet. Prior to that, oil, which had been used mostly as a lubricant and lamp fuel, had been obtained only at places where it seeped from the ground. Western Pennsylvania witnesses the world's first oil boom.
1860 Repeating Rifle B. Tyler Henry, chief designer for Oliver Fisher Winchester's arms company, adapts a breech-loading rifle invented by Walter B. Hunt and creates a new lever action repeating rifle. First known as the Henry, the rifle will soon be famous as simply the Winchester.

1865 Web Offset Printing William Bullock introduced a printing press that could feed paper on a continuous roll and print both sides of the paper at once. Used first by the Philadelphia Ledger, the machine would become an American standard. It would also kill its maker, who died when he accidentally fell into one of his presses.
1867 Barbed Wire Farmer Henry Rose, invents the product that will close down the open cattle ranges by closing in cattle onto individual plots of privately owned land. I.L. Ellwood and Company's Glidden Steel Barb Wire will dominate the market; by 1890 the open range will be only a memory.
1870 Pneumatic Subway Working in secret to hide his operation from Boss Tweed, who opposes it, Scientific American publisher Alfred Ely Beach builds a pneumatic subway under Broadway in New York.

The Bell and Edison patents, however, were forensically victorious and commercially decisive.
Not to mention that when your punk ass country gets into trouble with an angry dictator next door, who does your Government call? thats right . The white house.
