I can't see being able to say we are greatest country in the world unless I had lived in many of the others high up on the list. Like saying my city has the best "X" in the world, but never having tried the others, just what I have read.

Hmm..he said he took a big deuce and he didn't see them. You say it was pretty loose. So are they still there? We gotta get to the bottom of this.

Yep we have it too and the same problems, I found Canada had very similar politics to the UK. The trip I done from vancover to Oregon was amazing and I done it in the height of the summer so no snow just lots of hot weather.

If Hillary Clinton can lose nukes, anything is possible. I'm sure they're still in there.

What did you find about Antarctica's governance that gives you reason to view it as inferior to U.S.'?

I've been to Asia, but only five countries in that continent. Continental visitation is irrelevant expect perhaps for Australia.

All the best.

I suspect, in spite of whatever objective measures they cite, at the heart of many folks' answer is that they are citizens of it; therefore, it is.

Typical group mentality.....but fallacious.
USA is a great country but national pride prevents them from seeing greater possibilities.

You know I scrolled down and read that comment and I asked myself, "who wrote that?" I then speculated in my mind and scrolled over to find out. And though you aren't the only person whom I had in mind, you are one of them.

All the best.

Exactly my point! Like I said before, being humble in the US is a sign of weakness.
