Idea for a PvP event: USA vs. Rest of the World

[tyranim]

ive never been to kenya, but if someone loves america so much, they probably havent been in public schools, Brooklyn, or arizona. there is such a thing as too MUCH freedom, the great depression was caused because people kept making loans from the bank. not to mention how easy it is to corrupt the authorities here. this place sux hands down. even tho there are SOME good places here, the majority of america sux.

Puppychow why can't you just give Canada credit?  They did do better in my books.  If I were an athlete in the Olympics I would trade a couple silvers for a gold any day.  "I got 2nd place." doesn't have the same ring as "I was the best."  Course that might just be my competitive side showing.   I also think this tournament would be excellent.

I was just screwing around >_<.

Anyway, Canada did good, but it's freakin cold up there, so USA did better anyway.

[Cambadillac]

This is really unfair.  I live in America.  If i play, then it will be very lopsided. It needs to be:
America vs. Rest of the world vs. Cambadillac.

Seriously though.  Do i count as a Planet?  

Are you implying that you are extremely obese and fat? Well, that's no surprise. 98 % of America is overweight. I fall into the other 2 %. We'll crush those Norwegians and Swedes and Canadians and Austrians with our massive girth!

Sad   I'm not fat at all.  Im a cyclist.  Fit as a fiddle.  No fat and legs of steel.  Lungs like bellows and a heart like a big hearted thing <3.   8)
I count as a planet cuz i gotz da ski-zills. 

Seriously though.  I will handicap myself when i play, just to make it fair.  I will play one handed.  Dead serious.

Well said, Deedle.  I've been all over the USA, to Canada, Mexico, Japan, most of Europe, Kenya, and briefly visited China...and I have to say, there's a lot of suck in the world if you're looking for it.  I haven't ever been anywhere that I would say is definitively better than the USA...except maybe Japan, and that's only because they have this. (http://zotaku.com/2009/09/13/giant-rubber-ducky-at-osaka/)

As a Kenyan living in the US, I have to say I have the opposite experience. The US sucks and I am extremely happy that I will be out of here in two months. But then again, that's just my own view. How'd you like Kenya?

Well I'm sure you miss Kenya.  Like I've said I've traveled to quite a few places and experienced several different cultures, I love the wild life and certain aspects of areas like Kenya, but over my fav part of the trip in most cases was leaving places for good. 

There was a Kenyan family that moved into our school region when I was younger, when asked about how they liked it here they had nothing but good things to say and were much happier here than in Kenya.

I haven't ever been anywhere that I would say is definitively better than the USA...

Oh don't make me.

Corruption is every were you go, I've seen it even in 3rd world countries. 

I haven't been to public schools in Brooklyn, but I have been to a few areas in Arizona (colleges and  such)

A lot of America's problem IMO is we let to many people come here in the first place.

Really
You don't know what suck is until you've been to a few places that do not have near what we have or half the opportunities we do, go to a country were there isn't really any freedom.

CAn I use my fully upgraded deck, since this isn't for rewards?

And corruption isn't found elsewhere?

Concerning freedom...

Freedom is too abstract a word.  Were we to have a serious discussion, we must first establish what freedom means.  To some, freedom means just being able to eat on a DAILY basis. It may mean being able to run for public office.  To others, it may mean being able to complain without suffering repercussions from authorities.  Either way, it is a relative to one's experiences in life. 

I find that thinking about things in it's lowest denominator helps establish a proper gauge towards everything else in life.  I have protection (police).  I have food.  I have shelter.  Life is pretty nice.  No need to complain about a damn thing.

A feeling that one deserves this and that is a flaw in thinking.  Yes many things are crap (like schools as mentioned earlier) but who is to say you should have a school in the first place?  Good people in the past thought, "hey, i want my kids' kids to have free schooling.  Lets establish a school system! Better than nothing"
America is a pretty decent place.  Yes, there are many who have forgotten the faces of their fathers, but there are those few who have not forgotten.  Things can be fixed, things can change.  Dont wait for the change, go out and live it.  It take more courage than you think to stay true and live like a man (or woman).
