We need more stuff like this.

I was most amazed by #9, #12, & #37... and #36 is probably the funniest.

Love it! Nice visual learning. Tool

How else are we supposed to keep qualified women out of the workforce? Sheesh!

Dude, it we were to give paid maternal leave, the CABAs would not only emasculate us, they would do it from the comfort of the couch instead of out earning money where they belong!

Except in the US, CABAs have paid maternal leave. It's not a funny matter, really. The fact that the US is - aside from a handful of insignificant nations - the only country on earth that does not offer paid maternal leave just shows how backwards this country really is. Utterly ridiculous. And yet, some people still believe the US is #1. That notion is nothing short of hilarious.

So what nation is enough "#1" that you would rather live there?

Oh, there are a few. And I know that I'll eventually end up in one of them. Working on it.

Fact is that this place is actively being turned into a banana republic. I'll be outta here before the right wing gets their banana republic utopia that they're laboring hard to establish.

Seriously, where? I'm not arguing with you that the fuse has been lit under the US. I just like hearing others' opinions on where they would prefer to live.

Pay people for not working? How unAmerican! Sheesh! Sink or swim, dude!

Women should not get paid time off for getting knocked up. They should pull their own weight like everyone else.

[Mr. Big Dog 10,747]

Home would be good. Difficult for my wife language wise. But there are other places. I have opportunities in many countries around the world - comes with my job. Easiest targets would be Canada, UK, Ireland, HK and Singapore. But I'd rather go to Germany, Austria or Switzerland - in that order. That will take a bit more effort to get something suitable lined up. But it'll happen eventually. Things are really not going well in this country - and by the looks of it, they're only going to get worse. I can't get used to the backwards way of thinking that seems to take hold in this nation. May as well live in Afghanistan - different religion, same Taliban.

I like the one with the Metric system. American arrogance at it's finest.

[Karee 4,189]

That is really cool. Thanks for sharing that Dave.
