Good stuff here.

I checked the stats, pretty much right on the money.

I'd suggest that, before you blindly condemn or praise it, ask yourself if it's possible that it could be true and then do your homework on the statistics he rattles off. I found them to be factual and so, that being true for me and all drama aside I believe that this piece deserves our consideration ... as individuals and as Americans.

And I'm still waiting for the day when people identify themselves as Citizens of Earth, rather than just a piece of land somewhere in it.

[MrTeslat]

the whole serie is about how a real media should report facts (not like fox news) so i was already pretty sure that numbers were good (at the time of the shooting of course).

no, we can't do that! that makes too much sense! 'Murica is too awesome to not be the greatest country in the world.

/sarcasm

We need something to relate to. Personal identity is core to human nature and without an "other," the term Citizen of Earth is meaningless. That term will only have meaning when the term Extra-terrestrial is applied to another being in reality

[Alistair Cooper]

His answer was of course brilliant but dripping with Sorkin's arrogance in the way he assumed the "sorority girl" necessarily agreed with the premise that America is the greatest country in the world. Her question was "Can YOU say why America is the greatest country in the world?" This question might demonstrate the same weary skepticism that Will exhibits in his answer. She herself isn't sure - but she wants to make these talking heads articulate it to weed out the bullshit

I freaking love this speech and 24 people (at time of commenting) have done nothing more than expose their ignorance by down voting it. The only thing I want to know is how many takes this took.

Yeah the great USA only executes people ,invades other countries for profit ,kills civilians then lies about it,makes biological and chemical weapons and uses them on others ,creates the Aids virus and releases it on purpose,forces experiments on people ,misinforms its citizens ,spys on every nation on earth ,starts wars to suit themselves ,assassinates countries leaders for not toeing the uS line ...yes a great free country indeed
