This is why Americans get laughed at and mocked around the world. Please, stop showing your West Virginian roots so much.
Clearly, West Virginia. Without you uneducated, poor, ethically deprived, drug addicts, America would have never prospered.
Now, are you still afraid of humiliation to the extent that you won't tell us why you are against the banning of bump stocks?
Race has zero determination of culture.
What is American culture? Should other nations strive to be like the Southside of Chicago? How about the culture that elected that socialist NY woman you all seem to hate already? Do those meet your approval? Should, say, London strive to be more like McDowell County?
You guys are idiots. Capitalism, our Constitution and Bill of Rights, system of government, etc have all made this the greatest country to ever exist. It’s so great that you can’t even find a legitimate #2 because we are so far and away better than every other country that exists now or has ever existed.
Horseshit. WAR made us the greatest country ever. We won the biggest war, and came out of it with the biggest weapon ever. All the other nations that could compete with us were bombed to shit. Then we took all those factories we built to win that war and made shit for the rest of the world to buy.
I'm as a big of a fan of the Constitution, our system, all of that stuff, as the next guy. But planes, bombs, and rockets is why we became the biggest and best, if we are judging biggest and best the same way....quality of life we are not the best.
And speaking of capitalism, what were the tax rates when we began dominating? You want to keep on dominating? Time to pay up, motherfvckers. Excellence doesn't come cheap.
I shudder from high embarrassment for you when you have to come out of the holler.
"We are so far and away better than every other country that exists now or has ever existed" that we lead every list of best countries to live in, right? No. Well, we lead almost every list, right? No. Well, we lead a lot of them and are second in the others, right? No. Well, we are in the top 5 countries in all of them, right? No. Well, we are in the top 10 in all of them, right? No.
Truly, do yourself a huge favor and move your family out of West Virginia. There is a great, giant world you are missing by insulating yourself in Podunk, West Virginia. The fact that you go around and make that comment only further solidifies that fact.
You do realize that there are people who have lived all over the world, right? You do realize that there are people from countries who have also spent time in the U.S. and whose countries are ranked higher than the U.S. who mockingly laugh at Americans who make the claim that you did, right?
I think most reasonable people would place a handful of things as the most important when looking at the best countries: safety/crime, environment/cleanliness, education, healthcare, freedom, income vs. cost of living.
When looking objectively at those categories, the U.S. isn't in the top 5, let alone probably even the top 10.
But hey, we have American football and guns!
Maybe the rich and wealthy from other countries laugh about it. But, really you can make something of yourself here and we can do more things here than most everywhere. Go watch football, go play golf, go fish, go drive and see mountains and a desert. Go to the ocean. Drive for 3,000 miles and see most every type of land feature. Get on a plane and see two different oceans in one day if you want to.
When you think about it we are the best. Not perfect, but probably do have it pretty well. Think of all the stuff you can do here with the freedom and ability to get around. Not a place on earth can match that really.

So because we have a lot of land means we are the best country to live in? I'll be sure to let China and India know that.
Want to know what Sweden, Finland, and numerous other countries say?
"Hey, no matter how rich or poor we are, we can get solid medical care without ruining our future economically. We can do many of those things you listed without having to strategically sit our family somewhere in church in case there is a shooter; we can actually be friendly to people simply to be friendly, not to fake it in order to determine if they may be a shooter. You can make the same amount as a woman doing the same job as a man. We don't have tens of thousands of homeless people in all of our major cities. We don't have garbage blowing through our city streets. We don't have crazies trying to blow up our entertainment venues. We make damn good incomes without watching the plethora of people who can't afford a pot to piss in like so many in your country. Oh, and it's nice to be able to have conversations with people, because most of us are educated, thanks to our great educational system. We don't have a plethora of uneducated, deplorables trying to jump into the discussion."
Good for them. enjoy winter, assholes. While I am playing golf or fishing you are freezing your nuts off. I would bored as shit in a place like that. I will put up with our problems over being a place like that.
Plus, they are Lilly white people. Do you want to go there? Let's ship them half of Chicago or Detroit and see how long that winter wonderland last.
You realize that your graph is helping my argument, right? No, you don't realize that? See my point about education compared with those countries.
On the Nationalism stuff, this is a good read.

Rifle, Raoul and others...if we aren’t, by far, the greatest nation on earth, name the country or countries above us where you wish you could live instead.
Thanks.
Thanks.
On the other hand, you can tell us specific reasons why it's so fantastic now, when you cons thought it was going to hell in a hand basket the 8 years obama was in office.
It was going to hell with the socialist token leader running around apologizing for American exceptionalism
What are we basing our choices on? I'd like a mix of the best attributes from a few different places, including the USA.
Wishing I could live somewhere doesn't mean it's the best country in the world. I wish I would be content living on someplace like Bali (Indonesia) for the rest of my life. However, there are influences having grown up in the U.S. that have given me interests which couldn't be met on somewhere like Bali - things like being somewhat close to family/friends, being fluent in the major language, American sports, American music, etc.
So asking what the greatest nation on Earth is that I'd rather live in is flawed. If I had no family/close friends and no interest in American culture (not things that are "better" than other countries, but rather things I am interested in as a result of living here), there are plenty of places I'd rather live.
To answer your question, let me ask you what the top attributes are in your eyes for what makes a country great. Do you disagree with any of the ones I listed?
Safety/crime, environment/cleanliness, education, healthcare, freedom, income vs. cost of living.
If you agree that those are all near the top of your list, do you have any others? After answering those, then we can look at everything in the U.S. compared to other countries.
Shows up for me. Here it is:

I wasn't looking for what you thought was wrong then, we already knew the reason why you thought it was bad. ^^Read the bold lettered words above.^^
It is fantastic now because Obama is not POTUS. That was my answer. Got rid of him and Hillary all in one time period. Doesn't get much better than that.
In other words, you can't come up with anything better now than before, except the black man and the woman aren't in the White House.
I never mentioned race. You did. You asked for a specific reason. I gave you two. Those are at the top of my list. 1A and 1B
Do you really need a bunch of numbers that are made up by bureaucrats to tell you where you would like to live ? That’s what rifle wants, just so he can argue semantics all day long. Just tell me the countries you think are better than America that you would rather live in. It’s really simple.
Use whatever criteria you wish, but list the country or countries.
Sure, if high speed rail and universal health coverage are all that is left to make America a utopia. And an ITT campus in every town.
Much like rifle said, my list would be whack. My perfect place would be isolated and have brutal weather.
Canada: Saskatchewan sounds great. Not many people. Crazy temperature extremes; Prince Albert SK has a record high of 102 and a record low of -70. And it gets tornadoes. Plus the most sunshine of all of the provinces. Sounds awesome.
Canada: Newfoundland. Did you know St Johns once had an ice storm with 5 inches of ice? Fvcking aye. Lots of Nor'easters. Isolated, low population. Least sunshine of all the provinces. You can see icebergs float by.
Antarctica: OK, not really a country. But a polar desert sounds great. I can make a career of hunting for meteorites, as the ones there are the best preserved. There's hardly anyone to bother me. Healthcare access would suck, but hey if I die I'll be a frozen mummy and maybe one day scientists will study me.
Nepal. I'd like to live in a small town along the route to Everest. I'll sell moonshine to trekkers.
Australia: giant spiders, that's all.
Arizona: OK, so technically that's the USA, but to listen to you Trumpers it has been overran with Mexicans, so I guess it counts as another country. Really hot but has mountains with snow. A big metro area but I could live in the middle of the desert and be left alone.
take a pole across the world .
you'll probably be tired at the end, but at least you'll get to see some different places along the way.
mexicans don't even come to mind. the do come to mind when thinking of nova and california, though. so, why do you liberal faggits consistently make shit up about what "trumpers" think and/or say about any given topic?

really? link? for some reason, the word mexicans isn't even a thought in my mind when thinking of arizona. what typically crosses my mind is "arizona sweet tea", some half ass brand of tea that's probably not even made in arizona; arizona wildcat football and basketball; desert and cacti; and pussy. i've heard the pussy at arizona and arizona state is plentiful.

It's not obvious my entire post was tongue in cheek? The first two were semi-serious, and then it all went to shit lol. Giant spiders, dude....who the fvck wants to live with that?
