On the United States

heh Id imagine that question is kind of like trading which stereotype you want to experience sometimes. I imagine you might be asked about shaved heads and if you know kung-fu too. Was curious thanks for that.

Yeah. I often prefer the atheist stereotype, to be honest. I don't like to be seen as someone who won't defend myself, because I will. We just swear off unnecessary violence and bloodlust.

China's population density isn't nearly as bad - did you read a single thing I said? Beijing, for example, size of Hampton Roads, and only 1.5 times the density.

Question: What makes the USA the greatest country in the world? Answer: It is not you, but it could be.

Question: In what aspect do you consider the USA the greatest country in the world? Because there are plenty of nations on this planet, some of which have a higher level of education, more security and peace of mind (no fear of terrorism) and even better economy and health care. So under what criteria is it the greatest?

I think 786 /mi2 (2010 population density of Hampton Roads, VA http://www.coopercenter.org/sites/default/files/node/13/HamptonRoads_Region_CooperCenter.pdf) is considerably smaller than 11,500/km2 ( 2006 population density of Beijing http://www.citymayors.com/statistics/largest-cities-density-125.html). Now granted they aren't from the same years, but this was just a rough search. If you have any more recent reports that say different, that'd be interesting to see

I did it per mile, and I have my stats here: Hampton Roads: Population ( as of 2010 Census ): 1,707,369 Square Mileage ( Urban ): 526.8 mi^2 Density: ~2,647 people/mi^2 Beijing: Population ( 2014 ): 21,500,000 Square Mileage ( Municipality ): 6,336 mi^2 Density : ~3,393/mi^2 Now the Municipality of Beijing is considerably larger than the city of Beijing, which is roughly the size of Hampton Roads. For comparison, New York City's stats: Square Mileage (Urban): 305 mi^2 Population ( est. 2014 ): 8,500,000 Density: ~27,597/mi^2 Your argument, xueli, holds as much water as my roommate's shattered bong. I can deal with either pollution, high population density or natural disasters if the three aren't mixed together in a shitty soup.

I've done some traveling and studying myself on foreign countries. The ability to recognize the strengths and flaws of a country, whether yours or not, is the sensible thing to do. I don't like everything the US does, but I wouldn't say I hate the country. The US is one of the most accepting counties in the world along with Canada, the UK, an Australia due to their multi-ethnic, multi-lingual, multi-religious societies. You say you love China. I want to teach in China. But I recognize the pollution, humans rights violations, and corruption of the communists. Would I still like to live there? Of course. The US has their own problems, but I want to work abroad to make money. The US isn't perfect by any means. We have done and do things that all Americans should be ashamed of. But a nation isn't the government or military. A country is the people. And most people in the world, despite what the media portrays, are the same. We each want love, hope, safety, and survival.

You don't know how cite sources do you? Also ps, China has a lot of earthquakes too. But whatever, no point in arguing with a person who's closeminded to this point. It's like arguing with a radical
