I don't think calling America fascist is at all appropriate. We have made some "world police" mistakes, but we ARE NOT FASCIST. And we do not conquer the world with bombs. The U.S. does not seek territorial expansion. Please stop.

To be able to work is highly valued in Germany
We have extensive laws that protect the employee from getting fired easily. People can go to court to fight against getting laid off (of course barring things like theft or obvious illegal behaviour) We even have an entire branch of law courts that attends to cases whether a layoff is justified or not. Employers have to present solid reasons for why an employee should be laid off. In many cases if an employer has/wants to lay off staff he has to do a "Sozialauswahl", which means you cant fire the people that are least valuable for your work, but you have to take into account how old the employee is, how many children he has and how many years he spent working for that company. You can't fire a family father instead of the young promising single employee.
Of course rules can be bent so those things happen anyway but I think it's remarkable how much value we put into being able to work

You probably should have quoted him for context.

Comments like that make things worse for Americans. It gives the ignorant ultra nationalistic believers credit to their drivel. + Show Spoiler + America has been in recent wars which were horrible choices but we didn't enter a total war phase like World War 2. If Europe was enveloped in territorial conflict again or worse, America was directly seiged, you'd see a scary response. If you don't think of us as one of the great powers in the world you might be right, but I think you're not looking correctly.
You know what America has that's pretty unique? Blizzard.

Every year, the 13th of December we force out school children to partake in a nation wide KKK-rally with white robes, torches and everything.
Most candy liquorice sold in sweden is extremely salty.
Our elk warning signs are often stolen by tourists, causing lots of traffic accidents. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Street_sign_theft
Prostitution is perfectly legal in sweden. But it's against the law to use their services.
A bragging list I compiled a while ago: + Show Spoiler +

The world owes Israel thanks for:
since it'd be a very long list, every - is actually a category. -solar water heaters(heating water with the power of the sun instead of expensive electricity or gas. mandatory for every house/building/etc) -separating waste into recyclables and burnables, with a mechanical process, turning everything not recyclable into energy) -the gulfstream G100, which is actually named IAI Astra -Elbit, which makes a shit ton of communications systems, including a lot of optics systems for drones and sattelites -Desert irrigation techniques(the company that invented the drip irrigation system was purchased recently for almost 1 billion dollars or something in the area) -Checkpoint, Amdocs, Converse, Mercury interactive. It's so rich of high tech industries that the coastal plain is nicknamed "silicone wadi(arabic for valley)", Pentium 4, dual core, and pretty much any kind of CPU architecture after the P4, Flash drives(invented in 1998 in israel. later evolved into the tiny micro SD cards) -night vision goggles, and lasers -CT scanners, MRI scanners, ultrasound scanners(yes, the ones that show you your unborn children) medical lasers, the SmartHand(a prosthetic that allows users full motion with it, including playing the piano, writing, typing, and feeling what you touch. it's a real hand made of metal) -world's tiniest camera, designed to fit into a capsule that acts like an endoscope(comes with a transmitter inside the capsule).
What's unique about us? not much:
-second largest amount of start-up companies in the world(the US being the first. but when you look at the population, it's about 1 company per 2500 citizens in israel, so yeah... let's go with the highest amount of start ups per 1000 citizens) -our very own weapons industry: The Merkava series. The windbreaker system(replacing the iron fist system which wasn't even completely developed before being rendered obsolete. yet the americans are trying to make something similar named "quick kill" instead of adopting superior tech) our very own aerospace program which created the kfir(americans used it in topgun training for a while), the nesher, and the arava. The TAR-21(Tavor) assault rifle, now in use in Indian special forces, and the Philippians are going to replace all they're M4s/M16s for the TAR-21. -our very own recon satellite network(with our very own launch vehicles to put them into orbit. can't trust foreigners to put the extremly fragile hardware up there, now, can we?) -The ability to turn everything into a Neo-nazi/racist comment. Dear god how I hate the extreme right wing morons here...

Most hated country in this thread and maybe even in the world. That's also probably why you don't see many Americans posting on this thread.

Seriously, the US is the least unique or original country on the planet.
I agree.
Wish I could be French.
Take it BACK!

Switching gears to Taiwan...
- Taiwan is the world's capital for Mandarin pop. And a lot of Mando popstars come from the US. - Taiwanese tea has had a lot of influence, from Oolong tea to Bubble tea. - Thanks to the vagaries of history, Taiwan has the most unique political situation in the world today. Officially it is not an independent country, but neither is it clear which country it belongs to. Unofficially, it is an independent country and all nations including China treat it as such. This issue has driven Taiwanese politics since the 1950s, yet there is a wide consensus amongst Taiwanese that the status quo of "no unification, no independence" is best for now.

Thoses that are critisising the post from other countries are dumb. The only things you can say is : "my country is more awesome because..."

My country made the metric system :D
To add on france, we have a system after high school that is quite unique, where you can decide to work like a madman for 2 years, and then pass some competitive examination to enter the best schools of the country (at least for engeenering), where sometimes you are even paid while studying :D.
France have more different cheeses than day of year (i'm not sure, but a famous french president declared that it was hard to govern a country with more different cheeses than day of year, and I trust him on this point), so if you have to encounter a french in a Bo710, care, he could cheese you all the way with different builds .
