"Richest? The US is the world’s biggest debtor." Economic output, disposable income, access to capital ... . China is one of the biggest creditors. Does this make it one of the world's richest countries? "Most innovative? In what, except IOU’s? Have you bought a GM car lately? Technologically advanced? Did you know that the US, which invented the Internet, lags most other developed countries in high-speed Internet use?" More than half the world's R&D occurs in the US. The US has won over half the world's science-based Nobel prizes. Apple, Microsoft, IBM. Oh, but they don't make good cars anymore so you must be right. And TVs and radios! When's the last time they produced a decent shortwave?

Let's not dog on the great superpower while their down. They most certainly are the greatest consumers in the world as we know it. No matter what is said about the U.S. they are and always will be our big brother. Beside Blenz and Hudsons bay company, Canadian Tire and smarties they control what we buy. Look around I see Starbucks and Walmart and Sears and almost every American fast food giant. So they are smart enough to take your own backyard and your money. They pretty much own Canada and if they wanted to could take over. The vast majority of them are buffoons but we have a lot of half wits too. Look at the morons here who think Real Estate only goes one way.

@scooby: Yes, but there are over 300 million of them. If 90% of the population is ignorant, that still leaves over 30 million-which is slightly less than the population of Canada--that are not.

"What I meant was, that Americans are some of the most PROFOUNDLY ignorant people on earth." Cognitive Dissonance Alert. It's always a wonder that this lazy Canadian trope about our neighbour happily resides alongside the fact that America is one of the richest, most innovative and technologically advanced countries on earth.

"What I meant was, that Americans are some of the most PROFOUNDLY ignorant people on earth." Yes they are, but what does that say about the Canadians who watched their housing bubble collapse, yet are part of this housing bubble and can't see it.

Boobust if you really think that while the rest of this planet is watching their equity recede before their eyes and such a thing can't, won't happen here. The true definition of you is incredibly naive and ignorant.

"yeah thats it we are the best place on earth just no one has heard of it yet they want to all move here. Good argument boom/bust, I guess that is the logic of a bull." And you? What are YOU talking about? What I meant was, that Americans are some of the most PROFOUNDLY ignorant people on earth. And, who gives a shit what they think about us or anyone else, for that matter? In other words, they don't "define" me.

"I was watching old war movies over Remembrance Day weekend. Nazi Germans were cursing them “scammers”, “swindlers”, “piece of scums on earth” and other derogatory terms. It was not race stupid but profession." What the hell are you TALKING about?
