    Georgia is Top Ten countries, but I stopped at 8.
    You really should put ‘merica down instead of United States.

    In fact you can find all of that just inside of Texas.  Well, except for the glaciers, of course.

    Why?  "America" is actually the name of two entire continents.  
     
    I'm also curious as to how many here have actually been to GB, Canada, Germany, Japan, South Korea, Italy, Austria, etc.

    Canada, GB, Scotland, Japan, India, Hong Kong, Mexico, Denmark, Marshall Islands .... I guarantee this is a much shorter list than most on here, but I try to never pass up an opportunity.

    You all can argue this all you want, but as a first generation American, I can say with conviction that if the USA isn't the best country, then why do people die trying to get here?

    My aunt didn't die while my grandmother (and father) left everything they knew and tried to get to any other country on that list.  Ironically, they were fleeing one of the countries that ranked higher in that "poll" that was posted.

    Change my mind.

    My opinion only - there are always bits and pieces others may do better, but big picture, we’ve had a great run.  The tragedy here to me is we seem to have stopped trying to be best, we just really like to talk about it.

    It seems to me that the slightest criticism of American culture triggers a discussion about why it’s the best country in the world perhaps indicates we have a bit of a problem.

     Without digging through upstream posts, I recall @Canugghead posting a list of the greatest countries in the world which triggered a discussion on why I felt we have the greatest country.

     That is true, but it really starts with each and every one of us. Rise up above the muck and be better, lead, be kind to a stranger.

    He did, but it was in response to a question about why not move to another country if the US is so bad.

    Not much to dig through, just go back one page, after weberwho’s devastating pics.

    When @JohnInCarolina delivered the MickyD pic someone blasted him with:
    A man of your means and intellect can surely relocate to any number of “the rest of the world” places. Many without guns. Of course without guns often also means without many other civil liberties. Check it out. They’re great. Always wondered why people from the far and away best country ever, would pine for “the rest of the world”? No thanks. 

    To fact check the above brag I posted the usnews.com top hit in google. Canada happens to be at top of that list, it was not meant to brag.

    There is literally a town/province called Paradise in NZ.  Check it out sometime.  Based on photos I have seen, they got it right.

    The wife and I visited about 12 years ago.  I was down for a work trip and she tagged along and got to do the tourist thing.  It’s a beautiful place.  I want to return again some day, but the plane flight to get there is a PITA.

    Knew and proud of the ranking when it was released. Picked google top link to demonstrate the ranking project was commissioned in the US, not a Canadian, Chinese or Russian agency falsely claiming its country is the far and away best country ever.

    Please note my previous post explaining the grievance industry. 

    Heck one of your Olympic bobsledders just became a US  citizen. She’ll be competing for US now. Funny, not too many flowing the other direction. 

    Note that a Royal from UK wanted to come here too. Unreal! 

    I find it especially rich that you identified as a fact checker. Fact checkers are widely viewed as misleading if not outright liars. They are all paid by large corporate interests and are vetted to ensure a slanted point of view. 

    This is cognitive dissonance on full display. Aka circle jerk. 👍🏻
