I haven't lived everywhere, so for me to say the USA is #1 is just ignorant. There are a lot of things I like about the US, there are a lot of things I don't. Saying it's the best by people haven't lived everywhere is like a 17 yr old Christian born in Kansas to Christian parents declaring Christianity is the only true religion. When I retire, I plan to live in various countries, travel the world because I realize there are a lot of places out there with a lot to offer.. Of course Bosnia, Iran, Iraq and Afghanistan probably won't be on my itinerary.
