Nah, it's just China and India are the only 2 other countires that have more people than us. We are like the 3rd largest in terms of total population. We are going to have some crazies mix in with everyone else.
I didn't say that those other places had more people than us, just that a high population doesn't always equal a better country with more innovation. How many people are in Sweden or Italy vs. Nigeria or Pakistan? Which countries produce better stuff that there is a global demand for?
Dude, I get it. We rule with Levis and Hollywood.

It's just in your post I was understanding it as that you were trying to say that there were more people in those other countries than us.

Lool I'm not trying to start a fierce debate about it. You are right we do have a lot of people more than most countries. As for Hollywood, I'm not saying it rules. If you look at most of the stuff that comes out of there, its quite shit. I'm not defending Transformers: The Last Knight. Its just that in spite of our shitty movies, the rest of the world's are shittier by and large lol.

Well Pakistan produces some of the best opium in the world and there's plenty of demand for that. Nigeria leads the world in scam email production. Apart from ABBA what has Sweden ever done for us?
For legal reasons, we are not threatening to destroy U.S. government property with our glorious medieval siege engine. But if we wanted to, we could. But we won’t. But we could.

You are right about the opium! I'm still waiting on those NHS pain pills btw. Way to leave me hanging.

IKEA is a pretty big company. Spotify is also Swedish as is Mojang and H&M. Those are the ones I can think of off the top of my head, but there are many more. These are all companies that are known and valued around the world.

I will never defend Transformers: The Last Knight but damn, audiences in China eat that shit up like it's water, apparently (if you go by what it made in China). Hollywood these days really doesn't make any movies just for the US anymore. All currently blockbusters now have to "pass the Chinese censors" and play for Chinese audiences. In my opinion, it really takes away from what it COULD be to even more water down bullshit.

Yeah I've been pretty disgusted about Hollywood catering to the Chinese censors for quite some time. Its pretty shameless pandering, and it shows in our blockbusters. Have you noticed how in the Transformers movies etc, the Chinese government is always portrayed pretty favorably? We are always working with them to stop some existential threat and they are heroic. That regime is the most murderous in history. That Great Wall movie with Matt Damon seems to be the most transparent example of that. Meanwhile, Brad Pitt is still banned from China I believe because Seven Years in Tibet made their government look really bad.

I'm still waiting for the pic of you in a Che t-shirt and a recital of ''the red flag'', you know the conditions for gibbs from the NHS.

Pakistan makes a lot of T-shirts. That's a very popular product. :whistle:
