USA..the best country to live in?

I could say it's Mexico, but i haven't lived anyplace else.\nI know we have insecurity, the economy is not very stable, the salaries are low, but if you stay away of Mexico, D.F., you can find a lot of great and beautiful places to have a nice life. \nIf you are asking in order to find out if there are some other options, i can tell you that Monterrey is a modern, vigorous, economically growing citty wich is not as insecure as the D.F.\nAnd there are many little and beautiful citties where you can do little business - not big money - but live a peaceful life, like Queretaro, Guanajuato, San Miguel de Allende, wich are colonial citties; Cd del Carmen, if you like the ocean, Michoacan and Puebla that are sorrounded with wooded landscape. \nSo, i don't know if USA is the best country to live in, i've hardly been at Texas a couple of times, but i love Mexico and i've had a great life till now.

I am proud to be an American and there is no other country where the masses are clamoring to get into like there is here. We have the freedom that no other country enjoys whether it is freedom or speech or religion. The country is so large that there is a place to go for every desire whether it is the mountains, beach, gambling, large amusement parks, family locations, or adult locations. If you like snow and the cold there are the northern states and if you like it hot there are the southern states.  We may be a new country in terms of the countries of the world but as the young people say, “newer is better”.•

I have to ask first, why do you want to leave?  Not that I'm pro-American - I'm actually anti-American, but what is it about America that you don't like?  Why do you think things will be better in a different country?  Each country has their set of problems and people are always frustrated with something or other about whatever country they live in.  I love the country I'm in, and wouldn't leave no matter how bad it got.  To make things better you need to stick with where you are, not give up and run.  But if you need to move, them move!  Lots of countries are amazing - England, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, actually anywhere in Europe - many countries accepting new people.

Depends on the individuals.  I believe that America is the best country in the world but some Americans are not worth the space they take up.

Missouri Has the Best Cost of Living and would be nice, I'm  told the weather is modest..however Washington State has the Highest Minimum Wage and they have it good there with your option of Ocean, Mountain,etc and a wide varity of job Markets.

YES, it is greatest country in the world.....bar non.  Not without warts - but which country isn't. Why is it great?  \nFreedom\nGenerose\nDiverse\nYou can go coast to coast and thru middle America and still find each State to be unique - in customs. food, culture.\nGood, good peole. No matter how much we are trampled on, hated, etc....we are STILL the first to step up to help.\nThe 4seasons\nThe festivals\nThe good hospitals and medical care\n\nTaxes are as great as they used to be, but still not as bad as some socialist leaning countries.\n\nIf you meet the legal qualifications, you can become President - you don't have to be rich or have a title or anything.\n\nWe have a BIG middle class.\n\nYou can own a home - no matter where you are on the ladder of life - if you can't afford it, you can go thru Org such as VA or HUD....it is the american dream and it can happen here.\n\nI could go on and on...but you get the picture.

Define best.  Highest income?  Crime?  Standard of living?  Democracy?  Free speech?  Environment?  Pollution?  Or are they all important?\n\nThe UN's lists of best countries to live in keeps coming up with the same names year after year: in alphabetical order, Canada, Iceland, New Zealand, Norway, Sweden, Switzerland, plus a few others.

i believe Honolulu, Hawaii has the highest cost of living for the USA.. I believe San Francisco is second......i live in the Dallas-Ft. Worth, TX area..we have a very reasonable cost of living here as does most of TX, because we have no state income tax, and because real estate taxes are pretty low, compared to the rest of the USA.. we generally have no snow days here either--i have been here 32 yrs, and have not shoveled snow in that time ..32 yrs..WOW

Great is so vague and it depends on your preception of the word.  There are pros and cons to many countries, but I believe statistically, you will find that Norway and Switzerland come out on top as some of the 'greatest' countries in the world.  That is because they were rated on various positive attributes such as pollution level, crime, education, wealth, economy, healthcare, unemployment rate etc.  These are general quality of life type criteria.  Although there are some places in the US that receive high marks, the country in general, does not rank as highly.  Mostly because of the high crime, high pollution, healthcare system, etc.  So, I would guess that most people who say 'USA' immediately, have probably never traveled much outside of their country to look at it more objectively.

ill say th eunited states of america.. im from the philippines but ive been to the states thrice and i would really say that it's best to live there because it's clean and you have a lot of job opportunities and you can make much money.. but if you like to stay in a country with friendly people, nice neighborhood.. you should stay in the philippines.. christmas here is better than the US because we have gift giving and food giving to the neighbors..

It all depends on where are you from and where do you want to live.  If you are an american and want to live in the US working for an american company, you might be better of in the US.  On the other hand, if you want to work in Australia, or you are not american, I'd go for the Australian University.  The US is the most wonderful country to go for vacation and shopping.  Living in the US means working too much and sticking to too many laws, not to mention a strict police and sometimes abusive.  Enjoy Disneyland, Coca-Cola, 5th Avenue and Rodeo Drive.  Party in Miami but live in Sidney!

OH CANADA ALL THE WAY!  free health care, good education, wonderful wildlife, clean air, nice ppl a it's liked around the world.  its always top 5 in best education or best country to live.  i don't even know if the US makes it onto the lists. however there are some nice parts in the US but overall Canada is where its at.\n\nIn response to democracy, Canada's govt is way more fair and equal than the US.  look at the electoral voting system in the US.  and Canada doesn't have a senate.

Yes, the U.S is one of the best places to live...we are also one of the world's powers, plus it would be good for the economy.
