Answer 1

i have lived in korea and kuwait...i have visited mexico, the philippines, ireland, taiwan, and germany. i am in the us military. all of those places are uniqe and fun - but trust me america is the best country in the world. to me its like our founding fathers took all the good parts from all the other countrys, and then made america based on everyone else's mistakes in the past. america is the best overall by far...but dont take my word for it....find out urself, travel as much as u can. u learn so much and have so much fun doing it. i reccomend southeast asia like thailand or the philippines, everything there is so different from what ur used 2...it will be an expirience of a lifetime.

Answer 2

Bermuda, but they have very strict laws on becoming a citizen. You need to live there for 10 years and be a positive member of society, be educated, be tax paying and maybe they'll vote you in for citizenship. Even a marriage to a Bermudian, does not make you a Bermudian.

Gosh, if only America had something like that...we may never want to leave!

Answer 3

I lived in Japan (Tokyo) for ten years, while working for a Japanese company.

I found a few things better, there (they have a higher standard of education for their children, and the rail service kicks @ss!), but, after all, I'm a product of the society in which I was raised, and prefer the freedom I have in the U.S.

Examples:

In the U.S., I may own a gun. Or a rifle. Or several of each.

I may enroll in college at any age, not just at ages 18 to 19.

I may expect more privacy ...everywhere.

I may vote directly for our President (the P.M. of Japan is NOT elected by popular vote).

If I solve my difficulties in a way that is different from my neighbors, I am not looked down upon for it.

I am not burdened by reams of "Family Paperwork" upon the event of a marriage, birth, change of residence, or death.

Answer 4

Better country for who?, that's the question. We're all different. We want different things from life. We also protect our borders because we like to be secure. To be open to others means trust and friendship to the needy ones. My answer. Yes will always be a better country than US. More likely the country where you grew up in.

Answer 5

I'm English but I've visited America a couple of times. From what I've noticed they are largely comparable in terms of personal, social and religious freedom but America (at least at the moment) is significantly cheaper.

Answer 6

Every country is a better place to live as long as you are happy with your environment and happy dealing or associating with people around you.but of course home sweet home there's no place like....home.
globally speaking, every place you go there is always danger,violence,crime etc...
there's no better place to live but in the hands of God.

Answer 7

All countries have something cool about them that you don't have at home so that's why it is good to travel. No one country is perfect.
