The USA is a great place, but it is egomania to claim we are better than anyone else.
The EU does a better job providing basic services such as healthcare to its citizens. China has a bigger Army. Japan has a cleaner enviroment, and better education. Dubia has a higher per capita wage.
USA is good, but not the best

Of course not. It's the rest of the world who envy the freedom of America that makes people think we're better. All you have to do is look at our health care system to realize we are far from the best in that area. Just because our government doesn't necessarily make the right choices all the time doesn't mean we as Americans need to be targeted by the rest of the world. We're just like most people. We just want to live our lives and be left alone. If you want to be our friend, great, if not, so be it!

Not any longer. We seem to have lost our moral compass with the Bush administrtion. He is morally responsible for the deaths incurred in an unjust war. I don't think that the citizens have the arrogant attitude as evidenced by Bush. But our freedoms are great & better than most countries in the world. I think the rest of the world will see an improvement in the way the US approaches other governments when a new president is elected - I hope. Bush was eager to go to war & he abuses the powers of his office. We need a president who is willing to negotiate with other countries; not start a war.

No, as a US citizen I think it is among the worst places on this or any other planet. That is why people wait 10 or more years to immigrate legally and others cross the border illegally in groups of a hundred or more. It is the worst because nearly 10% of our population is illegal aliens.
There are a very small number of countries in the world where more people want in than out. The United States is one of them. So do I think it is better, no but I big chunk of the world's population seems to.
BTW, that small number of countries discussed above never needed a wall to keep their people IN.

Yes. I won't lie about it to you. Yes I do feel my country is better than whatever country you may come from. I disagree with the current President, and his Administration, but I still think my country is better. I'm thankful everyday I was born here and not some backwards third world country. People from all over immigrate here to live and have a better life for themselves.

Compared to the over-all lifestyle of american people vs. the rest of the world, I believe it's safe to say that most of us do.

Yes. We have the finest cars, biggest houses, largest salaries, and most beautiful women in the world. Not to mention the most nuclear weapons. He have indoor plumbing, Hollywood, NASCAR, and the NFL. We have Vegas and Disneyland. He have SUV's, and drive them as fast as we can. Anybody messing with us gets destroyed. We can criticize our government, but will kick your **** if you do. God personally blessed the USA. I wake up every morning and thank Him for being born an American.

Of course. don,t you. I've gone around the world once, and I can tell you from personal experience. There is no place like home. We can drink water from a tap without getting horrible abdominal cramps, and the only people who die from malnutrition or starvation have anorexia, and should have got some help
