Every other County can display so much patriotism and pride for their homeland but when Americans do it they aren't humble.. They are cocky or arrogant. Now I know how Gaga feels.

who cares most of the countries that are mad don't even have clean drinking water. Being jealous should not be their number one priority, however making sure people don't poop and drink from the same water source should be .

Some people in Latin America are constantly so pressed about the US, they even call them "gringos" and act so bitter when it comes to american society and yet they're flooding the streets in LA and San Diego 
In all seriousness the US >>>>>>

despite the occasional wacko (then again every country has one), the USA is the best country in the world.

All hype no real sh!t.
Norway, Sweden, New Zealand, Australia, Canada >>>>
But really I'd be scared to live there tbqh. Every other idiot has a gun, those obesity problems, so many people living off low wages, the state doesn't really have your back unless you're rich it seems, the great differences between different classes, the over-patriotic messT, etc.
This is just a generalization obviously, but it does indeed stem from reality

I actually think most people just think you're idiots, especially the people that ran/run your country. A long time ago the US was seen as such an incredible place, during the 50s and 60s especially, thanks to JFK, "the country of the free" and all but pretty soon people realised that was bull and that you were hypocrites bc you elected Bush... twice. 
Well not all of you obviously... but still Americans. Also, a lot of you saying you're the best and **** like that, especially during elections, and you're clearly not, reasons being the ones in the post right above mine.

It is not that serious, trust me lamb. I never worry about my safety and I live in the mess that is Florida. Those obesity problems are by choice, which is the beauty of the illusion of freedom of choice. Alot of people do live on low wages but i agree with Britney, you better work bitch

But still doesn't change the fact that Qatar is the richest country.

Except that's a world wide issue, not just the US of A

To stick to the truh here again: that mostly is an issue in the US, much more than elsewhere at least.
Regardless of whether or not you are pro firearms or against them, it definitely isn't too great when every next best idiot and asshole has a gun lying around at home without any rules, exceptions or regulations. I think most can agree on this, and people in other countries often think that isn't very smart and would not be comfortable with that. The only other country with gun laws as lax as the US that I can think of is Switzerland, but their attitude towards and handling of the issue is... different.
Also, the fat part is true too. Except for only a few small island states mostly in Oceania, the US is the country with the highest percentage of people above a BMI of 25. Leaving those tiny island states out of the equation, there is no other large or semi-large country that can top the US in this regard.

So the US have much more of a problem with those two things than other countries do.
However speaking of Kuwait: I just saw in this World's Fattest Countries index that Kuwait is actually ONE POSITION above the US in the list. Go figure.

I didn't say that it changed the fact that they're the richest. Someone, I don't know if it was you, said something that I can't even remember about me joking about low population, I just stated that no one literally lives there.
And yes, I do have social benefits. And yes, I do have health insurance.
Some of you people hear something about US and healthcare and assume none of us have it. You guys hear about a school shooting and assume the US is a warzone. Like, its a double standard for whenever an American in tgese thread isn't up-to-date on the politics and laws of every other country in the world, we're "ignorant." But people hearing these bits of US info and making assumptions isn't. All any of you want to do in this thread is be bigots against the American people. Yall preach about acceptance, ha

I wouldn't live anywhere else although I don't like our president turning our country into a socialist country.
Still... God bless the USA!
