USA fourth place

I don't see it that way. America is number one. If you don't see it that way, you should go somewhere else. Unlike that cretin in the White House, I do NOT apologize for the greatness of my country. Do you want to see your ranking go up from 4th to 1st? Cut off foreign aid for a year and see if you don't see the votes come in for us. Just like welfare and liberals. If the Dems cut off welfare you will see voter registration change to the right. Same deal. Buying votes and bribery works.

When the Yankees beat the Sox 4 games to 3 it doesn't matter very much that you don't see it that way.

I don't care if my ranking goes up. I just want the middle class to return. Let's make America Great again when the money was more evenly distributed. Why do a handful of people need to be as rich as Putin and Kim Jong-Un?

So, you feel we should reward the lazy and penalize the motivated-wealthy. Got it. Another socialist. Spread the wealth, right? Real Americans are not lazy, and not jealous of their betters.

GDP per capita based on purchasing power parity (PPP). PPP GDP is gross domestic product converted to international dollars using purchasing power parity rates. An international dollar has the same purchasing power over GDP as the U.S. dollar has in the United States.


We are at the top.
$16.8 trillion GDP 318.9 million POPULATION $54,597 GDP PER CAPITA, PPP


Can anyone explain this to me [the $54,597]? It looks to me like everyone is doing quite well?

Do you believe the American soldiers fought so future generations of Americans could brag they have the 2nd Amendment intact - and proudly say that the USA has the highest murder rate by handguns and mass killings by guns of the top ten civilized countries?

More left wing false propaganda. You are always on the wrong end of the gun argument. Liberals always assume that if we had less guns, there would be less violent deaths. So naive. All that does is put the power in the hands of the bad guy, and there is MORE crime. So naive.

What demographic does most of the killing? Inner city minorities. THAT is what we need to get rid of. They are what bring ALL our statistics down.

When will re finally accept the fact that it's THEM.

Really? A dictator? An ex-KGB with brutal politics?

You call them the "motivated-wealthy"? That's what you want to parade out as "successful"? They're brutal psychopaths. The world needs less of either of them.

Ah...yes they are...or will be soon. Lazy minorities ARE jealous of their betters. A black man made it to the presidency, time for the excuses to stop. Time for quotas and affirmative action to stop.

Without the available guns, would Sandy Hook have happened?

Would Columbine have happened?

Without mind altering SSRI drugs, would EITHER have happened?

Don't be so quick to surrender an essential right for the wrong reasons.

If you want to ban guns then at least use the example that best describes the "gun problem", minority gang members in the inner cities kill many thousands a year. Many are never reported, the body dumped and nobody cares or misses them outside the gang. There is where the "gun problem" really exists. Why don't you use that as your example? It doesn't "fit" your "equality" meme?

Maybe we'd all start questioning, asking..."what's REALLY wrong with these people, why do they act and live so differently than we do?". I've asked that question and my answer was...it's them, they're different. What is your answer? It's my fault? My "people" have held them down unfairly?

Yes, it would. The areas of our country that have the strictest gun laws have the highest rate of gun related deaths. Countries such as the UK have higher knife related murders than we do, therefore it is safe to say that when they don't have guns, the substitute is also lethal. And last year the UK had anti-knife campaigns going. Then it will be bats, etc. You can't get rid of violence by getting rid of any potential weapon. You lower the chance of being a victim of violence by allowing each citizen the choice to defend themselves, and have strict enforcement of laws with strict penalties for violating those laws.

Yes, some form of Sandy Hook and Columbine would have happened.

You lower your chance the MOST by staying as far away as possible from "minorities"...that is a simple FACT. The less diverse an area, the less violent it is...that's a FACT.

Strict enforcement would mean 90% of the minority population would be locked up, that's racist. Too expensive too.

In both cases, they were on SSRI drugs.

Perhaps a D-day documentary is needed to get us back to the beginning of this thread.

Operation Overlord & Neptune (D-Day documentary) - YouTube

I do not know if there is one or perhaps more than one but the moronic comments being repeated ad nauseam topic after topic have convinced me that I need to take a break from Political Talk. It just is not enjoyable .
