Why some people keep denying that America is NOT the greatest country in the world?

England has a large GDP in the world.

England has a relatively high GDP per capita in the world.

England educational institutes are the best in the world (Oxford, Cambridge etc.).

England has contributed to nasa and has uk space agency

England is also one of the largest immigration country. Why? Because people want to come here for political/economic reasons.

England is the home to the majority of the multinational (sky Virgin, coca cola, pg tips etc.).

The English language Is widely used as a second language around the world

England is also one of the countries that win a large portion of the Nobel Prizes.

England usually does well in the Olympic Games and Eurovision Song Contest

England has the majority of the world's wealthiest people (Simon cowell, etc.).

England is one of the most diverse and open nations in the world.

English pop culture and celebrities are almost worldwide (one direction etc.).

England has one of the largest and most advanced military system in the world.

Guess what? America isn't the only country in the world to achieve any of those things! And those things doesn't make it the greatest! There are countries a lot more beautiful that America such as Italy and Canada and New Zealand! There are beautiful powerful respectful countries out there and you are meant to respect them not be arrogant and only have praise for your own Jesus Christ.

Well, as an American, I also see:

1. The US ranks something like 70th in terms of access to health care

2. Life expectancy in the US is far away from the best

3. Press freedom in the US is mediocre and declining, thanks to Obama

4. The US isn't the most democratic or free country in the world (see Freedom House and plenty of other surveys)

5. The US has high income inequality, poor public education, deteriorating infrastructure (thanks, Obama), etc.

In short, it's one of the better countries, but it's certainly not the best. Try Sweden or Denmark.

You are aware english is not your language? You speak our language and the nations who speak it speak it due to the british spreading it around its empire, including you. People in europe etc speak it as it is the most spoken and that is not due to the USA, it is due to the british spreading their language as said to be the language spoken in the most countries. I could do alist easily that long for the UK that which unlike yours would not be mainly due to population and country size which the USAs is on GDP, Olympics where per capita it is nowehere near the top just has more entrants and most points youve written actually., You should read how the USA reached the power it has had, it paints a version of ww2 that none of you would want to hear about how the USA wouldn't even sell supplies to the UK as it defended itself (successfully) against germany until the UK paid mega bucks, handed over invention blueprints to some of the biggest inventions today and handed over a huge number of other guarantees and belongings. Yet we hear a tale of fantasy off americans regarding that war. Also the USA letting off nazis to develop the USA is another claim to shame.

America is not the best country in the world. Your reasons are very artificial because in reality, America gives 5% of general resources to the world, while it consumes over 70% of it. The figures are hideous, at least here in the U.K, major co-operations pay the primary producers. In America, have you even heard of fair-trade? America is the leading cause of Global warming, as well as dimming, and hell has the hypocrisy to judge countries such as Russia for taking over unlawful land. America's foundations were built by thieves, who forced the Native Americans to leave. It, with utmost dignity I'll say, is not the best country in the world. Possibly the worst, since it causes war and lies to media, claiming to sort it out.

Good day to you sir.

We don't get financial data until long after it has already occurred, such as with a recession or a recession recovery.

The constant critiquing of the US is apt, because it keeps us on our toes.

We need to forecast problematic financial tendencies long before they occur in order to be able to fix them before they go beyond reach.

When you look at those things per capita, it generally doesn't come off tops. The US simply has a massive population compared to other developed countries, that's all.

America is without a doubt the greatest nation on earth. It is also the root to all evil known to mankind. America is the most evil place on earth. The country was built on shredded blood.

It was when the Irish and Brits were around. Poor patriotic German. Proud of something that isn't yours to start with.
