America is exceptional by every definition of the word.Lol. American exceptionalism. It's another name for American parochialism...
Being exceptional doesn't mean your are the best - it just means you are very good in ways that are very different than others.
I don't know. Parts of Mexico and Canada seem quite like it.America is exceptional by every definition of the word.
No other country on earth is quite like it, not even close.
Noexceptional adj 1 remarkable or outstanding. 2 being or making an exception.
I think everyone will agree that the Third Reich was exceptional.
Obviously.I don't know. Parts of Mexico and Canada seem quite like it.
What happened to 'not even close'?Obviously.
Again, depending on a strawman to make your argument is a tactic only used by those who can't argue the debate.The Third Reich was not an exception?
TIL
cnm is right. He submitted the correct definition and even gave an example of it.No
So... strawman much?
It's what people do when they have no argument
Of course you don't....
I don't understand what the problem is. ...
Nocnm is right. He submitted the correct definition and even gave an example of it.
It is stupid, and by very nature, dishonest as well.No
Anyone who has a 4th grade level of English knows that there are many-many words in the English language that can be used in different ways, and everyone who read my statement knows very well that I am using the positive connotation of the word exceptional.
It is absurd and ridiculous to say to someone saying an Olympic swimmer is exceptional, by saying "yeah, well so was Charlie Manson".
That is stupid, and a weak strawman argument.
Let's see now:
1). The title of this thread "Is Living in the U.S. A Life Wasted?"
2). My reply included the name "United Snakes".
3). You somehow read "continent".
4). I reminded you that I said "United Snakes", not "continent".
5). But you still insist that I am referring to "continent"?
I don't understand what the problem is. Do you not know the difference between a country and a continent? Seriously?
I don't have a problem because there is no problem. It's in your head. I've tried to explain the difference between a country and a continent but you don't "get it". That's not my problem .... it's yours. Take it to bed with you and nurture it if you like being frustrated. Me, I've got other things to think about.Of course you don't.
Panama is too politically unstable for me.
Currently it is one of the friendliest to Americans to retire in, the government LOVES Americans to retire there because they do not seek employment, and they bring their own money. Win-win for them.
But... you get another communistic regime take over and all bets are off. Afterall the Panamanian government is near the top in corruption.
And their ties to China is suspect to say the least. China has pumped $2.5 billion into Panama just in the last year.
Of course.No

Well, ain't you the prissy one! It was cnm who introduced the word but you think everyone should ignore what he said, right? Where do you get your gall?and everyone who read my statement knows very well that I am using the positive connotation of the word exceptional.
American parochialism is remarkable, granted.It is obvious, that I am using the positive meanings from the word.
Sorry, anyone with the honesty and intelligence of a gnat would know the difference.Of course.
Well, ain't you the prissy one! It was cnm who introduced the word but you think everyone should ignore what he said, right? Where do you get your gall?
Yeah?Hmmm. The Third Reich was normal?

”I’ve been everywhere”, as they say, and with the exception of South America, it’s true. And I did it all overland and that means that I’ve been to nearly 100 countries around the globe. I have lived in about 10 of them, so that should make me an expert, right? Well yes, I am an expert traveller but nothing stays the same so what I thought was perfect is no longer perfect anymore. I can choose to live just about anywhere I want and not many people can say that. The thing is that I live where I chose to live because it had the best of everything. It doesn't anymore and now I’m too old to pick up and change. That applies to everyone eventually. So, I make the best of things and I am happy that I didn’t end up in some of the other countries that are real shitholes. That is to say that I am fortunate to have made my own choices in life. I know what’s good and I know what’s bad and I know what I am doing to make the best of what I’ve got. Life doesn't get any better than that if you've learned how to roll with the punches.
