    I think what a “bad” country is should be properly defined if this argument were to continue. Are we comparing what impact countries have had on the world overall? If so, what exactly is a negative impact and how do you measure it?What time frame are we looking at?

    While I think it would be interesting to do so, I’m not the person to continue this argument further. I don’t know enough, nor do I have the time to learn enough to do the topic justice. I guess we can just agree that the US sucks.

    Also cool username, its kinda like mine.

      I appreciate the honest response and honestly I relate to the sentiment of not engaging in this discussion further as these are typically extremely wide ranging and require a lot of contextualisation, doing this online can be extremely exhausting.

      But I find the question you are raising quite interesting as to how exactly a countries (govs) impact on the progress of humanity is to be defined. This is exactly the direction in which I was thinking to go when I was considering to compile a list.

      Thanks for the compliment about my username;) I don’t really associate your name with anything concrete but I assume there was a drug trafficker from LA who was referred to by that name? I am not from the states so I might not know everybody that has become infamous like that!
