yes I DOOO
-
No I don't. I have lived outside of the US and traveled to lots of different countries so I have something to compare it to. I will say there is no such thing as the best country in the world. Each place has their good and bad points. No place is perfect and one place is just as good as another depending on your circumstances.

currently it is leading, but when something is at its peak, there's no way to go but down~
-
For me personally, yes. I have no major complaints here although I wish the political system wasn't so gridlocked at times.
For the person who lives in Denmark, I have no problem with them saying that's the best country for them.
Each person has different needs and desires...they won't all be met by a single national entity.

Right now, the U.S. is ranked 13th according to the United Nations' annual Human Development Index. Norway is now the #1 place to live. IT USED TO BE THE U.S.! WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO ABOUT THIS????? We CAN be great again, if we're willing to reclaim our lost work ethic and start to value education again!!!

The most important factor in my life right now is earning the best income I can from the Internet. I do NOT want a job or a business, I just want the money. I have searched extensively for ways to do this in other countries and there are NONE that even come close to the United States from my experience. I hear it all the time, "why can't I do that from "XXXXX" country?". The advertisers want United States traffic and are willing to pay extra for it and Fusioncash is only ONE example. I'm sorry, but I am staying right here.
-
Yes, I do. But i've lived here my entire life and have never went outside of the US. I know I would rather live here than anywhere else.
-
i would have to say yes, because i can't imagine how
different my life would have been, had i been born into
a society less free than ours. and i speak of freedom
in the general sense -- choices, opportunities, etc.
i traveled europe a few years ago, and in comparison,
switzerland was one country that seemed limitless to me.
but from my experience, i'd have to say yes.
the U.S. really does have it all, and "all" includes the good,
the bad, and the ugly.
-
yes land of free home of the brave we make misstakes but doesn't everyone.
-
I would say i believe that as far as rights and freedom goes
-
I want to say yes because I'm from here, but I have a sinking feeling it's not. lol
-
Since its birth, the USA has been the best and most unique country in the world. Let's hope it stays that way :)
-
I'll say we're the best based solely off of the sheer amount of job opportunities we have. But not many people are seeing any of those opportunities due to the recession. :(
-
Yes I think that is the country full of good chances
-
there is NO good country it this world.
We all have our own issues/problems and none of the systems are right, all of them are correct.
-
I have never been outside the country so I can't really compare but as a woman I like having my rights as an american...so i'd have to say yes. For me the US is the best country in the world
-
I cant say that the US is the best country in the world, I think we are too arrogant and act like bullies. The living conditions here are amazing and the freedoms we are given is worth fighting for, but sometimes I think the powers that be say we are fighting for freedom when we are really fighting for money or limited worldly resources or things that the average American will never see because we are not among the elite (wealthy, presidents/CEOs of multinational corporations or leaders of countries).
I studied business for 2 years to get my MBA and I can honestly say that the US is not listed in the top of any list for employee benefits and perks, cost of living wages or least medical claims filed. For the work standpoint and the most bang for your buck, the US sucks

I have yet to see any guards preventing people from leaving.

Always enjoyable to see people act like this country isn't worthy of criticism, and thus improvement, in some (perhaps many) respects.

This country is just fine the way it is, it's just a few of the people in it that need changing.

I do....However, there is so much room for improvent, we can be even better!

The people are the country...if you say improvement is needed among the people, the country also needs improvement.
And may I ask what is fine about the education system? What is fine about the health care industry? What is fine about the one-party government structure puppeting themselves as two parties? What is fine about our ridiculously uncontrollable desire to push our noses in any and all foreign policy across the entire globe? What is fine about the gap between rich and poor? What is fine about the insane amount of wasteful spending and disproportionate spending on the military when people are living in boxes on a sidewalk? What is fine about the future of social security? What is fine about the government's lack of funding one of the most positive advances in the history of biology (stem cell research)?
The list could go on for days. I guess you could say the country is "fine," if by fine you mean worthy of ignoring what needs to be improved and hoping it works itself out. I don't know about you, but I don't want a "fine" nation. I'd like a prosperous nation that minimizes its mistakes and fixes those already present. In order to do that, one has to take a pessimistic eye to the big picture of this nation occasionally...

Opinions are like bellybuttons, everyone has one and you can have yours. I'll stick with mine and be happy for a long time, since I have heard that crap all my life and nothing has changed. My kids are all educated as much as they wanted to be, I'm not pushing my nose anywhere, I don't have any problem with some people being richer than me and some being poorer, I don't know anyone living in a box on the sidewalk that doesn't want to be there and Social Security is treating me just great. If you don't like the way things are, use the system to change it, that's your right. I don't want to change a thing.

Yes, and no; we cause an awful lot of destruction to other
countries for the sake of money.
I love the world we are all
just as important as the next person.
:peace: :heart: :thumbsup:

With all of the rights and opportunities available to us as Americans, it's hard to argue otherwise. It's up to us to take advantage of what we have to make this a better place.

I can't really say because I have never lived anywhere else and I don't know enough about other countries.
