Corruption in the United States.

[Lozal]

Yet, if you called me white, and I said "I'm caucasian, you racist bastard" you'd think I'm retarded huh? funny how double standards work.

Water.

That makes no sense, dumbass.

I can assure you that there are the same kinds of governmental issues in these foreign countries as there are here.

You are right about that, they do exist elsewhere. But, the point that you're missing is the fact that the level varies between countries as I've said earlier.

This thread was meant to discuss the corruption and compare it upon the levels of other countries and such. The problems are elsewhere, just in separate amounts of these issues/

It does make sense. America thrives on Double Standards.

The point is, you're not going to escape governmental issues such as this.


So you're saying there's some kind of official scale on how bad your government is? You're retarded.

Uh, yes, dumbass, there is a scale that measures the amount of corruption present.

When was this established.

When was this established.

"It began in 2001 simply as a collection of research on global corruption. But, since 2003, has grown into a report dedicated to providing information and solutions to corruption in various areas."

Notice how un-corrupt all the Nordic countries are 

US is 20th place out of 180, not too bad I'd say.

But that has nothing to do with being corrupt.

Stating your opinion as fact and repeating it continually doesn't mean anything.

we're nowhere near being the best

nordic nations are far better than the us could ever hope to be

We're much better off than most of the world, but we're still not even near the top.

RRRG! I hate it when people put the US on this pedestal above everyone else. It seems so egotistical and insensitive to me. And even though America is an amazing place to live and i know I'm SO fortunate to live here, I've never gravitated toward striking fear into another country with severely confrontational displays of my patriotism and showy displays of our military forces.
