Fine, if you're going to judge which is the 'best' country, I'll go with New Zealand. You could go with the Scandanavian nations in terms of living standards. American living standards are lower than Australia, NZ, Canada and most European countries. Their citizens also have fewer freedoms than the countries mentioned, so America is basically out of the running if you're going to do a 'best' country scale.

It's a ridiculous concept and really shows the philosophy of the way Americans are brought up. You're not better than other countries, that's a load of **** that ought to be removed from the curriculum.
DO YOU EVER JUST TAKE ANYTHING LIGHTLY
