"Like all of western Europe. All countries on the decline. All countries that, because of liberal socialistic mentalities, have a little less to offer mankind every year."

Except a higher per capita income, better health care, better education, less crime, longer life expectancy, etc...

I don't think there's a single true statement in there, but feel free to provide citations if you believe that those claims are correct.

"The European Union average life expectancy works out to 78.7 years
The United States avg. life expectancy is 78.06
So, there's true fact number 1
courtesy of Wikipedia"

A) Wikipedia is not a source.
B) Your numbers are too close to be meaningful. Clearly, you were just "shooting from the hip" with that, and are grasping to support a claim that you made up on the spot.

"United States- 11,877,218 total crimes comitted in the last year...and that's number one on the list"

Hmm... any European countries have the same population as the US? No? Then divide by population and get the crime rate.

And let's draw a distinction between property crimes and direct violence, shall we, and get both rates? Having your newspaper stolen is not the same as forcible rape, so using "total crime per year" is patently absurd.

"as for better education, let's just be simple and use basic literacy estimates ( ... )

United Kingdom- 6,523,706
Germany- 6,507,394
France- 3,771,850
Italy- 2,231,550
Netherlands- 1,422,863
Sweden- 1,234,784
Belgium- 973,548
Genius. Simply genius. :) Probably all of these countries have the same population level, so if Belgium has less total crime rates, it makes it safer.

If you have the same approach on the GDP, you'll see that China is one of the richest countries in the world. Who cares they have more than 1 bln people. :)
