Reply #29: I agree with you, but it is not just the 'great' powers that [View All]

call themselves great....People in India think they are the greatest...the Chinese think they are the most superior...so do the Japanese...so do the Koreans...Brazil, Peru, Ecuador, various European countries, Middle Easterners...other places...damn near every country I have been to, the people there think they are the greatest. Therefore, your statement implies that no country is truly great and maybe that is true. It applies very well for individuals though. Mother Theresa was pretty great, but I doubt she went around telling people that. Every knucklehead I met who went on about their greatness was a moron and nothing more. The truly successful people I met almost tried to hide their success in laid back social situations.
