Re: The 500 Greatest Countries of All Time
I downvote the USA (downvoting a country seems sort of racist though), purely because then the UK has a better chance. ;D

Its not racist. More like... anti-nationalism? IDK lol But racism would be discrimination against one race, and America has people of every race.

Firstly that is a horrible thing to say. Assuming everyone is from the USA. I believe Red is from the UK. And America does not have every race.

Do not start a flame war please. I never assumed everybody was from the USA, please read the text colored red. Any further replies similar to the above will be treated as flaming, and dealt with as such.

Its a perfectly good reason. He didn't say any hate towards the USA- he simply stated he feels that the UK has a better chance to be the greatest country of all time.
I'm not sure if I agree though. I think Canada is a more likely competitor.
The UK and the USA are both great places though.

Re: The 500 Greatest Countries of All Time
My favorite is most likely Canada, and downgrade U.S.A.
We have issues.

Considering they are the only decent places.... sadly that is the way of the world today.
Though, everything is getting better. Many countries are developing more and more and may be soon considered a developed country... and perhaps a decent place to live. India, Mexico, Brazil, China, a couple middle-eastern places and even some parts of Africa (South Africa and Egypt) are on their way. I hope that someday all countries will be evenly wealthy and everyone can be happy.Yeah, I agree. But as you said, things are fairly rapidly getting better. And fairly rapidly worse in other places. But as a whole it's definitely improving,
And isn't New Zealand a decent place?Isn't New Zealand part of Australia?
HOW DARE YOU

Uhm no.
He's downvoting the USA, which is winning, so that the UK has a better chance of winning.

Re: The 500 Greatest Countries of All Time
Just to share my opinion, I'm down-voting the USA, not to increase another's chances but because of their healthcare.
