Best gif/debate thrad ever!

Right you are, BUT...we're talking about EO's, not laws. Laws involve more than just the president, which is why I brought up EO's and how they make a president "the most powerful"

See but now we're really getting into specific things.
You can't call it "the most powerful position in the world" as some other heads of other countries can do similar things (I don't believe they call it executive order either, but it's the same idea).
Perhaps you can say something like... The President of the US being the most powerful head of a country (in relation to other countries, dur) since he/she has such a power, but then again as mentioned, others have similar powers.... But they're still not ruling over other countries. Just passing 'laws' (yeah, yeah, EOs) that affect relations between their country and others or what not.

Well, it's the most powerful position in the most powerful country in the world...so it kinda goes hand in hand.

I'll take that as a yes to socom <3

Lol yes, of course you had to resort to that xD

Still not making the President the most powerful person in the world...

Countries are only powerful due to what they have. Take that away, and the country is suddenly less powerful. What would happen if every country broke any relations they have with the US (and made up for it by going to other countries for whatever they needed)? The US would have their military, but then what happens to your economy, or just your supply of anything. Quite a bit of the US's electricity comes from outside the US... If that gets cut off... What happens?

Of course the same can be said for pretty much any country, but my point is... Calling a single country the most powerful is idiotic, because they need the support from other countries as well.

But yes... As it stands, if you really want to look at it your way the US is "The most powerful country"

(Still doesn't make el pres the most powerful in the world though xD)

lol, that right there makes your whole huge ass scenario defunct. Of course if everything that makes the US what it is suddenly disappeared...it wouldn't be what it is today.

Sure, the US needs support from other countries...but so does every other country in the world.

(fact: el pres is the most powerful person in the most powerful country. anything more than that...well, I guess that's harder to identify...so take it as you will.)

No, it doesn't make it 'defunct' it's just a fact. Like I said, my whole point is, the country is powerful due to it's support/relations with other countries as well. On it's own, it's no powerhouse.

Exactly what I said...

That still doesn't mean that the President of the US is the most powerful person in the world.
That would be like saying:
Oh SOCOM is a harder game than COD, so the best player at SOCOM is definitely better than everyone else when he plays COD too...

It does make it defunct, even if it is a fact. You posted a scenario, and then immediately followed with how it was meaningless...making it defunct.

EVERY country out there is powerful because of its relations with other countries. NO country out there would be what it is today without its support...I don't know why you don't get that. If every country somehow became independent, solely working in the chaos of internal work only... the USA would most likely be on top.

And that's a horrible analogy. COD and Socom have nothing to do with each other. You're basically comparing the power of the US to that of the Martian Military.

I didn't say it was meaningless... I simply stated the truth...... That it applies for every country. But that doesn't mean what I said is incorrect.

If every country somehow became independent, solely working in the chaos of internal work only... the USA would most likely be on top.

I DO get that every country is where it is because of it's support, although I don't get how you still think the US would come out on top... All they'd really have is the military. A lot of countries have a lot more resources that would allow them to survive on their own. Honestly, what will you do? Blow up a few countries then slowly die?

And that's a horrible analogy. COD and Socom have nothing to do with each other. You're basically comparing the power of the US to that of the Martian Military.

Nah, the point wasn't the actual games... It was the 'difficulty' and how being the best at the harder thing doesn't necessarily mean you're the best at everything.
Same with power, being the most powerful person of the most powerful country, doesn't mean you're the most powerful overall.
