    How can a country be both the most progressive and innovative yet most backward on the planet at the same time?

    • It isn't. It's just backwards. You'd get the same innovation with a room full of chimps with typewriters.Morning_star
    • I'm sure its been said a few times in this thread, but it all comes back to money. Politicians are taking (tens of) millions from the gun lobby.dirtydesign
    • Not progressive, nor innovative. Just wealthy and stupid.maquito

    • Is it progressive if you're following decades behind Europe and Canada and actively fighting stuff like universal healthcare?i_monk
    • Saudi Arabia just lifted the ban on female drivers. Is that progressive, or just catching up?i_monk
    • I'm talking about arts, music, film, technology... America is without a doubt innovative and progressive in those aspects.set
    • I'm agreeing with niko. In many ways it's backwards but in many ways leading the way. A strange melting pot...set
