Hello girls and boys, Diamonddozen here! If you didn't see yesterday's blog here it is: http://www.planetminecraft.com/blog/art-teachers/.

Wha? Diamond what are you doing? A rant on America? Why yes simple-minded question asker. I am. So slowly MineCon is coming around. This is the first year it WILL NOT be in America. Have you ever noticed that every other big event goes to Las Vegas. Sure Las Vegas is the party place but that doesn't give it a right to hold events. Look at Canada. We may not have any casinos or anything like Las Vegas but we got beautiful terrain on our side.

How is America supposed to pay for all these cons and what not anyways? Aren't they in debt (please don't flame me mr.)? I don't get it why does America always have to be the center of attention? I'll just be hangin' out in my igloo after a Polar bear ride and then news will come on about how America is in debt. Then 3 days later they announce that they are hosting some BIG event.

What? Three paragraphs? That's unruly of you! Well, simply-minded question asker, yes it it. This one is going to be short. STOP STEALING ALL THE ATTENTION.

Anyways, thank you for reading! Please don't forget to comment, diamond, subscribe, and enjoy!

The reason why America is the centre of attention is because it has the money. And yes the United States are in debt, however it's not a big issue and certainly not an alarming one: the US debt-to-GDP ratio is about 70% which is surprisingly less than the normally conservative Germans who are almost at 80%. Where Greece on the other hand have a debt-to-GDP ratio of over 100% and in fact the Greek government is bankrupt and is seriously in the negative. So compared to Greece, Italy, Spain or Ireland, the US is fine.

Besides, events like MineCon create revenue, which is good. Unless of course it turns out to be a complete failure. You can't make money without spending it.

If America in debt wasn't a "big deal" then how come every time I turned on my t.v. news about that came up?

And you believe news. It's what the news feeds off; and what's more is that the news is like any other media program, in other words, it needs ratings to compete with the other news programs. Therefore, the news needs to make their news interesting; and what is more interesting? your usual humdrum updates: lady does this, lady did that, guy did this, guy got murdered and so on. No, what is interesting is failure, despair, struggle, death (on a large scale), natural disasters etc. So don't you think the news is going to have the intention of making a big deal about the debt; people like that kind of news, they like to see destruction whether at a physical level or economical level.

And besides, surely the statistics I provided you speak for them self.

It's also politics, but I don't want to go into that, you can probably imagine.

The number one rule with the news; assume it's all a lie, and from there you work your way to the truth.

The news is corrupt enough as it is with all the bullshit going on so i wouldn't rely on it anyway.

America as a whole is in debt, Americans who set these conventions up aren't. Also one thing I know from watching a lot of Starcraft 2 games is that there are many conventions in Europe for various things.

I also managed to not read this as a flame on America so don't worry too much there.
