WOW, you have been owned by a European girl that knows more about Ice Hockey than you just by doing a little Internet research.

So what were you saying...no american ice hockey national team at the Championships?

Americans are so uptight...

Are Europeans too stupid to grasp facts such as USA Hockey does not sanction an IIHF team?

Tell me EXACTLY what part of that stumps you.

I'll try to dumb it down for you.

The OP is right about some things.

América will possibly be always number 1 in TELEVISION: the quality of america tv in UNDENIABLE, i mean, shows like Seinfeld, The simpsons, Lost, Curb your enthusiasm, Mad Men, The Wire, The Sopranos, In Treatment,House, Friends, Desperate Housewives, South Park and many many others (couldnt possibly write them all down here, cause there are a lot), are great quality show. In the writing, in the acting, in the producing, in the directing, etc, this is all high quality television! Even the not-so-awesome shows are waaaay better than most show from any country. Seriously, your TV is so good that i dont even watch argentinian tv here, i download and watch your series, and most people who appreciate good tv do that too.

One you didnt say: MOVIES. America has some of the better directors in the world. I particulary appreciate the sensibility of Wes Anderson and Jim Jarmush, but there are TONS of very talented movie directors and you have all type of movies to choose from. Really impressive !


Atlethes: i must agree with this, the olympics prove you guys have the best, better trained atlethes in the world! However, one little downside, you´ll never be the BEST in SOCCER, the most popular sport in the world!! (unless you try to be, and then we are screwed! )


I dont agree with: Food!!! Been there, try the food and theres no way theres the best food in the world, au contraire (Poirot would say) the food taste is actually quite artificial, i dont think it can compite with nations that have amazing cuisine and flavours. Even Argentinian food is so much better. Come try a streak, an ice cream and a pizza down here and then come back to me.

Subtle Propaganda and mind control, illusion creation, mass (human) programming, uniformity of everything and everybody, amount of ignorance per education dollar, USA is #1 hands down.

1. Television
2. Food
3. Athletes
4. Trucks and Motorcycles
5. Music
6. Evangelism
7. Financial Products

did I miss any?

I would put: "Talking about being number 1" at the top.

No. My Harley is in a class of it's own. Almost everyone who buys a rice burner does so because they can't afford a Harley.
