Aside from like Switzerland and Japan. Maybe parts of Canada. I can't really imagine where else. And please don't tell me anywhere in Western Europe. Sure as hell isn't nice to live in a country where they hide and cover up terrorism so feelings don't get hurt.

Agreed. I would wager that most people who claim the US is the best have not traveled much.

Almost every time there's a "personal freedom ranking" it's categorized so it has a bias toward welfare states. Like it'll stretch the definition of freedom so that it encompasses things like "access to healthcare" and "social safety nets" for the express purpose of sticking it to the United States, even though most of those countries rank lower on actual personal freedoms like free speech/expression, weapon ownership, free enterprise, etc. You can argue which is more desirable to you but only one can be called "personal freedom". Like it's not even a debate. One is the correct definition, the other is a deliberate misdefinition.

You're right, easy access to guns is definitely a more important part of "freedom" than accessible healthcare required for life.

America is wonderful, especially if you live in a solid community that cares. I live in Montana myself. I've seen people say.. "it's a flyover state. Or it's a podunk state."

Hey man, say whatever yall want. It is so beautiful here in Big Sky, it's not even funny. It's looks like a painting every direction I look, I'm so blessed I couldn't care less what some angry little man online says. I'll just keep enjoying my great job and lifestyle and access to anything I could ever possibly want, as long as I work and get the money to pay for it.

No other country offers as high a standard of living to so many people. Complain all you want about poverty and oppression in the Usa, our homeless people still have cell phones. We've led the world on so many things it's ridiculous. Keep talking shit though.

Isnt it pretty much just california and maybe hawaii that can compete with the rest of the developed world? No way a place like florida can compete with the uk, canada, aus, etc


California, Texas, and New York are the only states that matter tbh.


1/3 of all Americans live in California, Texas, Florida and New York. 4 states define a good portion of america. Without those four states america is nothing. The next 46 states need to step it up.

False. Things like high healthcare costs lead to loss of freedom via debt.

No it shouldn't. His statement was clearly about the total amount of people, not about the proportions, in which case a micronation/tax haven state like Monaco would clearly win.

Fraction of our population. The Usa brought in the poor, huddled masses and offered amazing opportunities for more average people than any other country in the existence of man.

In terms of military strength and contribution to world growth, America is the best. However in terms of health, education, healthcare, crime rates and standard of living America isn't even top 10. People who say that are either completely brainwashed by patriotism or have never been to Western Europe or even Canada. Even in terms of culture and history America is a fucking Child of a country in comparison to Europe and Asia.

You clearly haven't given that you live in Mon-fucking-tana and hold such outdated and narrow-minded views of the world.

And guess what? If you're gonna make a claim about how Murrica has the best standard of living for the most people, that's up to you to substantiate, not me to debunk. But it's as easy as looking at the poverty levels, income inequality, access to healthcare, % homeless, % in prison, etc among other first-world nations.
