    Most big-hearted nation

    Just a thread for people to post positive facts about the US, I figured it would be good to balance out all of the negative threads about the US.

    World's most big-hearted nation: the United States


    The United States is the world's most generous nation, according to a global index of giving, as a higher proportion of Americans helped a stranger than any other country in the world.
    The 2013 World Giving Index – published annually by international nonprofit organization Charities Aid Foundation – looks at three measures: monetary giving, volunteering and helping of strangers in a typical month. The survey, published on Tuesday, was carried out in 2012 across 135 countries.

    The U.S. made a significant improvement in charitable behavior, rising to the top position from fifth place last year.
    Meanwhile, three countries tied for second place this year: Canada, Myanmar, and New Zealand. Australia, which was the highest-ranked nation in both the 2010 and 2012 reports, dropped to the seventh position.

    It was fun while it lasted...

      Great thread, always good to have some balance.

      Here's a picture of Adolf Hitler smiling at a young girl. Why the guy got such a bad press i'll never know.

          1. The aid you give is bound. Meaning that it gives to other countries, but they have to spend the money in USA economy. (not helping to country in it's short and long term goals)
          2. The example of bill gates is a bit ironic because he gives tons of money to really reactionary, right wing, groups.
          3. Your bombing schools across the whole world. (in fact you have been in war every single years, for more then 60 years in a row)
          So destroying with one hand and repairing with the ' other'
          4. Giving aid doesn't help countries!
