According to this, USA ranks 8th - http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/1089906805255_85316005/?hub=CTVNewsAt11

Norway seems to be the best place.

 

 WTF? 8.7 per cent of those born today are not expected to survive to age 60    That is a high percentage (and for Canada btw for those who to lazy to click on the link).

I don't know if it's the best or not, but for me it's not, I'd never think that the best country is one which doesn't have football as the most important sport

The most important sport is Football, just American Football.

 



Hi, this is Vince with Shamwow.

no it's japan.
everybody knows that :P

they have nintendo , sony, toyota, honda, mitsubishi and nissan etc etc (L)



Dont make me laugh, no offense or anything it's just America is not the best, that's just entirely your opinion, Canada's much better and it's still not considered "the best"

Yup, you're right, it's the most important, that's why it's popular in every country that...oh wait, nevermind

Actually I was referring to only here in the US, not the world.  You shouldn't nit pick everything so much, people would like you more.

Everyone has the opportunity to improve their life.

Except for the people who aren't white, Christian, male and rich?

USA has democratic government

Florida, 2001? Two-party system favoured by state bias and funding? Electoral college? Politically coloured judges?

, best technology

Probably.

, affordable living standards,

Except medical care?

best hospitals are in the USA.

Yes, but the majority have little access to them and the ones that do have so many lifestyle-caused health problems it negates the better treatment and still makes you an averagely-healthy country.

, Hollywood movies are in the USA.

90% of the films made by them are "stupid" ones aimed at young children (animated fantasy rubbish) or lifestyle ones with no content aimed at young women.

USA is the best in the world at most sports.

You mean, the sports they chose to play? Your "World Series" only has one country in it! Your major sports (Basketball, Ice Hockey, American Football, Baseball) are barely if ever played outside of the US/Canada. In 'real' disciplines, other countries are better. If you adjust for population, the UK and Australia are better than you in the Olympics.

USA is the world leading nation

This statement has zero content.

There may be bad things about the USA but all in all it is the best country in the world.

Outsiders can see a lot more things wrong with your country than you. Mainly your healthcare, education, foreign policy, extreme conservativism and religion.

Barack Obama is now our President

But you elected, and then re-elected Bush first. The Republicans had to be utterly disgraced and have a weak candidate just for the Democrats to barely get 50% of the popular vote.

and we are blessed by God.

Well we are blessed by Thor, Zeus and Wotan.

USA will recover to its former glory

When? The Cold War era? When the US was taking out democratic governments and replacing them with dictatorships?

and overcome the financial crisis

Through protectionism and corporate welfare?

and lead the world into the future.

Feel free to give me your reasons to support my pro USA stance.

Ah, ok, didn't get that part. Do really people not like me much because I nitpick so much?
