"America is the best country in the world"

Despite some of these inefficiencies, I enjoyed visiting America on vacation 8)

I don't really care, the US is screwed up in some ways, yea we know it.

Gods promised land isn't so blessed anymore :P

You either love America or you can Get the **** out!

Leaving

Yeah, I'm right behind you....

Lot of problems but I dont give a s*** anymore, I live less than an hour from Disneyland I dont need anything else.

The health care rankings are_critically flawed.

I love living in America, good enough for me, don't really know why everyone is always hell-bent on proving it's inferiority though :?

Also, how is #1 in cellular phones good? :?

The formula is News = Fact x Importance

The USA suffers from having a Y-axis that's only half the length of the average Western nation, hence the poor rating in Freedom Of Press.

America isn't perfect but to me it's the best country in the world.

The only American that will ever appreciate or understand life outside of America is one that has lived outside of America for any length of time.

Europe is the place to be. Ireland, UK, or Continental Western Europe.

It's like people who hate homosexuals and always say "Im cool with em but if they hit on me I'll knock em out". No gay person ever has or will ask you out just like you wont find an over patriotic American you cant find in Europe. In fact America usually has a far better view towards Europe then Europe has of America.

I agree. I think that the country with the least amount of cell phone usage and texting is a good thing.

It is not about a complex. It is about a quality of life. Leave him alone.

[QUOTE="SF_KiLLaMaN"][QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]Probably because there are also Americans hell-bent on proving It's superiority. Those Americans I just cannot stand. You know all the ones that're like "God bless America" and "Proud to be American" as if they're better than everyone else

I can't even respond to this..

That's the land of Canaan.

Even though America is a **** hole to me, I somehow still attracted to go there, mainly the southern region. Goddammit! I want to be a redneck living in Tennessee.

Half of those things are impossible to measure/rank... and mobile phones / inmate population? How are those stats even relevant? Just because a nation has a low inmate population does not mean they have fewer crimes... just fewer people being caught...Dark__Link

As evident by the fact that India is #1. I find it a little hard to believe that India has the fewest criminals in the world.

Be honest, you just want Taylor Swift.

I love America but if I could go back and live in Asia with my relatives, then heck ya im packing and leaving quickly.

i heard somewhere that the more cell phones are in a country, the harder it is for tyrants to thrive. you should look it up though.

Though that will be almost impossible, but hey, living in Nashville or Lebanon would be nice right? Just think of the days when Christmas used to be cold.

how do you figure? isn't that an argument from ignorance?

[QUOTE="Jolt_counter119"]

[QUOTE="DmadFearmonger"]That's only because more people live outside America than inside. More people to bash it. America is full of itself and wants to get involved in the affairs of the rest of the world. I mean, why did america give a crap about the royal wedding? They didn't! They just thought "Hey, something else is going on in the world that isn't American! Lets Americanize it!" Gives us foreigners good reason not to like your countryDmadFearmonger

Well...as long as you're having fun.

Why's that? Do you not think of it as largely peaceful nation albeit hampered by terrible poverty and a sickening gap in weath between the rich and poor?

The US harbours 5% of the worlds population and 25% of the worlds prisoners. 1 in 9 black men aged between 20 and 34 are in prison. If that's interpreted as a result of an effecient policing system then that raises other questions about why such a high % of particular demographic are in jail.

But anyway, I'm not having a go - just pointing out. No where's perfect. Life's what you make of it. Taking some kind of mean/median average as to quality of life is meaningless to the average man of the street anyway.
