Life's kinda funny isn't it? America's the best country in the world and yet...

You don't use the metric system, nor do you like soccer. Amazing isn't it. America's the place to be for fun times, video games at affordable, reasonable prices, services like Netflix and Hulu, etc etc. It's where the scene is at.

Really... I wonder what it's like to live in the middle of the United States. You know, neither in California, New York, or Florida. Or Montana for that matter. What's it like in the middle of the US? Is it just as glamorous as other places?

Flat...

I lived in North Dakota for three years and I really liked it. The town was small, taxes were reasonable and they didn't try and control your life.

I don't think any country is the best in the world. There's lots of awesome places to live out there, depending on what you look for in a home.

....although New York City > All. :P

By what standard do you judge America to be the best standard in the world?Crunchy_Nuts

Clearly by the combined number of nukes and fast food restaurants we have.

Funny you should say that and then all of a sudden imply that NYC is preferable to all when quite frankly, it's a pretty dangerous and unforgiving place for those that are not rich and aren't staying at the Marriott Marquis or such.

Oh man it will take too long to post all my pictures and show how much awesome stuff there are, enough to make an American fall in love with their country all over again. Like in that movie The

your right we are thebest country in the world

If you find America to be the best country in spite of those things, then I guess not using the metric system and not liking soccer is what makes America, America if that's how you're measuring our country. I've never been to the middle of the United States and don't care to be, but I think that says more about me than the mid-west.

Nah, you prefer the *Tossle for all for 5 secs - 2 minute pause* *Tossle for all for 5 secs - 2 minute pause* for an hour don't you? :P

There's a reason you're one of the only countries which play it y'know.

The metric system and soccer are for suckers!

"The best country in the world," eh? I'm flattered, but this is really quite a subjective statement. :P

Yeah, I agree it's silly about not using the metric system, but why does everyone have to like soccer. Anyway, I'm not sure the point you're trying to get at. :/

I live in the midwest... it's pretty average here.. not everyone in the United States acts like the extravagent people you see on TV, you know. Although I live in a somewhat more well-to-do suburban neighborhood than some others nearby, which means that there are quite a few snobs here. Not everyone is like that though, just the ones with money.

My grandparents live not too far away and it's definitely more rural where they're at.

Imo, the US is one of the uglier, if not ugliest of the good nations(good nation = nation that if I were to live there, I wouldn't suicide asap to get out of the misery of that craphole{middle east, mexico, china...})Inconsistancy

America is only the best country in the world to those who have never experienced a better country.

Even a skunk thinks hes the best animal

I live in central iowa and it is great. We have 3 of the top 50 colleges in the US in Iowa State Uni, Uni of Iowa, and Grinnell College. We have a top 10 precollege education system. You get as much culture as coastal states. Our cost of living is much less then almost anywhere else yet we still get paid the same amounts as elsewhere. Des Moines, Iowa City, Ames, and Council Bluffs are all just as lively and entertaining as LA or NYC. We do deal with the weather extremes in both winter and summer. -30F in winter with ice and snow everywhere. 110F in the summer with 100% humidity. We have tornadoes and we also do have faults through the state so there is the chance of earthquakes and we get heavy flooding in the summer as of late but I couldn't live anywhere else.

I can't really judge the real Midwest since I live in Chicago, but its mainly nothingness and flatness.

America's the best country in the world7abobb

America is unique in that we stress things such as individualism. If we don't like soccer or the metric system, then that's our choice.:P

America is a continent, and I can guarantee you that most of it isn't as 'glamorous' as some make it out to be. I'd much rather be a Canadian or a first-world European country citizen than a north-American: since they at least have a welfare state guaranteed by the government, although I see that as something that'll end pretty soon.

Awesome? I hate Brooklyn....not as bad as Bronx but still so many other places that are better.

Unless you live in Kansas City or Chicago, i don't think there's the big city glamour of NYC or L.A.

America isn't the best country in the world, but it's definitely not that bad. I live in the midwest, but I don't think it's very representative of the rest of the midwest. I live in south-eastern Michigan, in one of the richest and most populated counties in the country. It's hilly, snowy and filled with trees. Absolutely filled with trees. I hate going to the rest of the midwest because of just how incredibly flat it all seems. The midwest isn't all that glamorous, except for Chicago maybe. Crime rates are generally low, good schools in most areas. Just a generally chill place to be. :)

I agree about the metric system. I absolutely despise the imperial system.
