The Soviets beet hitler, not the American, world war 2 could have been won with out the US, it would have lasted longer, been harder to win, and more people would have died though.
I love that Bill Maher publicly points this out. I've been saying it for years. I wish with every ounce of my being that America really was #1 in everything. We're just not. And saying that we are is not enough to make it true. We need to actually MAKE it true, and not think that we just are.
Yep. You can't knock football because they don't belong into the same group. One is a sport and the other one is a waiting game where the players are pushing others for 1 minute and then wait 10 minutes to repeat the prior.
I agree with all of what he said...incudling the "soccer" remark. It's not called "Soccer", it's called FOOTBALL! The FA (Football Association), FIFA (Fédération Internationale de Football Association) and UEFA (Union of European Football Associations) all agree with me. The game Americans call "football" is just rugby with all the testosterone removed.

PS Bill...please, please, PLEASE...never stop doing what you do. We need more of you, saying the same things you do.
"beat hitler" comment - essence of American ignorance. if you even can single out a nation that "beat hitler" it would be the USSR, hands down. All americans know is d-day and perl harbor. What about battle of Kursk - largest tank battle in history? Battle of Prussia - greates offensive in history? Battle of Stalingrad - greatest urban battle in history and fucking turning point of the entire war. Soviets lost well over 50 fold what americans lost. americans don't know shit.
@borgespontes "Brazil invented the airplane". Talking about Santos-Dumont, are you? That's very debatable. I doubt many people outside Brazil will agree with you.
@bittercottoncandy If you are talking about the brilliant Wright brothers I must desagree with you, I dont understand why didn't they inform the press or made public exhibitions?? They did it 4 years later, after Dummont.
And the main difference, IMHO, is that the 14 Bis could take off with the power of his own engine, and the Flyer 1 was WAY more potent but used a catapult to take off.
@mtlilr Fair enough. ;-) But now that I'm older it seems like a lot of running for a very few points. I guess it was more fun to play back then than to watch now.
@mortalweedbath666 hahaha yeah even the french ... are u... i dont want to insult you but man you still dont know what football is ok here is a real statemant... barcelona football team is the most expencive team in the whole world (in any sport) . That means the average pay there football players get is more than the average pay in any sport (including nba nfl...)
@vojo4anime I dont fucking care about the economic issues of the sport , im not a moron I know that its very popular , but it remains to me VERY BORING . 1: Draw games 2: the defense , you just need to be a line and jump (the tallest person is the best ) . That's sucks . Nice to play but to watch .... cant understand . Btw I love it instead of baseball (the wtf sport , BOOOOOOORRRRRRRRIIIIIIIIIINNNNNG ) I rest my case
@mortalweedbath666 you just said i know its very popular, but it remains to me very boring... well its popular becouse people who love it watch it... i think ur just special but dont wory there are special people but they keep to them self they dont make there opinions public even do they know everyone else doesnt think like them. You rested my case tnx
@mortalweedbath666 Average real game play in a soccer game - over 90 min. Average REAL game play in amer. football - around 10 min (Wall Street Journal). More than 90% of what you watch in an NFL game is actually replays and commercials. Of course americans think its boring - USA has a serious case of ADHD. Hollywood intentionally makes sure all the scenes in their blockbuster movies don't last more than 10 seconds. It won't dare make a movie like Hurt Locker.
@Zbochenez I dont fucking care about football . Im Canadian and I LOVE HOCKEY ! :) Yes its too long (soccer game ) to just watch someone kicking the fucking baloon the farest as he can ... Sorry , I like to watch the world cup and btw , the final WAS FUCKING BORING , even my french(european ) friends told me that it was the worst final ever ... He loves hockey now rather than soccer

To the total crimes rate at 3:37. That is based on the number of crimes. which are actually reported to and accounted by the police. Countries with bad, corrupt or not enough police (like many non first world countries) look naturally better in that statistic, even though they aren´t. (Russia, Brazil, Nigeria,etc...)
So the US is definitely not the worst country in that regard.
@Frosty1979 Nah, if one of every hundred citizens (if not more) is or has been in jail, I'd say that America has earned it's number one place. Also: the Bush Administration should be brought to Hague and be judged as war criminals and for crimes against humanity. And then they should be hanged.
There isn't too much I'd praise America for nowadays. Not since 1930's.
@ricardofuego I'm sorry, my reply may have failed to express its intention without misinterpretation. I meant "joke" as in Bill is "joking about it" in response to the comment by mtlir. Not that i care much about football though XD
@ricardofuego It's allright, we all know that football is by far the most popular sport in the world (USA being the sole exception) I'm portuguese so i know how much screentime it gets and how fierce the fans get. It's litteraly the only sport that appeals in here. You being from Argentina certainly know it all that much better than me. Lucky i'm not Brazilian or it could get ugly between us i guess XD
@Khafleim Actually I'm not a "fan" for years, but I do watch some "classics" from time to time and I have fond memories when I was playing it. If you understand spanish check out these beatiful words from Maradona: watch?v=9nrNk4SzBAs
@mtlilr -the soccer remark was a joke, and as such it may as well be a stupid joke, but don'tcha have a sense of humor...yet, having played soccer since i can remember i can only laugh heartily on it...thanks to Bill for tellin' it like it is...i'm gonna blast some Metallica now -Enter Sandman...
The funny thing is, even a moderate, self critical American still thinks they single-handedly "beat Hitler" and "democratised the modern world" (where the hell did that come from?).
@ltsaint911 Guess he was thinking about the outcomes of the defeated nations and what happened to them after the war. America didnt single handedly beat hitler, america just came to the rescue, though i think russia couldve taken care of germany at some point right? Though idk about taking care of japan, i mean look at the battle of singapore, asians beat europeans, americans beat asians i guess. lol...and the japanese american unit in europe was the most decorated mid sized unit in the war
I think the comment about having "democratised the modern world" was in reference to our continued effort to tell other countries how they should run themselves (in other words, I think it was tongue-in-cheek.)
Also, there are plenty of Americans that don't think America saved Europe from Hitler, myself included. Unfortunately, our education system sucks so bad that History isn't stressed in schools.
The fact that you quote "democratising the world" as though that would be a valuable achievement shows that you're just as dumb as Maher and every other Anti-American. Democratising the world, even if it were done, would be of little to no value since democracy in itself is worthless without an accompanying constitution, checks on government power and would still be worthless compared to the peace and happiness-creating value of a global free market system.
@ltsaint911 Well, in a sense, America did ''defend'' Democracy in Western Europe, and fought against the Communist ''threat'' single handedly (for the most part).
@ltsaint911 You're right. I think he really thinks that or he's being "pragmatic" so he doesn't get too much far away from mainstream. Either way, in that regard he's promoting the "we #1" nazi shit.
@ltsaint911 well to be fair...he did not say "Singl-handedly" , but there is no question that the entrance of The us to WW2 was the turning point of that war , giving the Allies the Upper hand for the first time ..fair is fair !
America got where it is on the work of non-americans. It's the most hypocritical immateur country and for how young it is, has way too much power. Our freedom having a price, isn't freedom.
agreed with this vid until the soccer remark. I dont even like sport but It's obvious to me how much more skill and beauty there is in soccer compared with the running & barging into people which characterises US 'football'.
