Why Is U.S.A. superior to all other nations?
481851
If the USA is so superior, then why are the people in Louisiana still not back on their feet? Why hasn't Bush stepped in the help those people? Why does the rest of the world come before his own country? To answer your question, the USA in not superior.

Compared to whom, Nathan?  Add a comparative statement in your question, because compared to most of the world, we're geniuses.  However, if you are referring to our educational test scores, I would agree that there are other nations that do better. That is the price we pay for freedom.  Some of our citizens have the choice not to have the same work-ethic/education-ethic as others in our country, and our scores go down.  Add that more immigrants come to our country from more nations than any other country, many of them not speaking a word of American or English and our scores go even further down.  In addition, our insistence on freedom of speech means that we are used to people speaking even before they think, because they aren't scared of people censoring them or acting like they are stupid due to a single statement.  We know we can ask a question and they'll make themselves clearer.  In some advanced countries if you say the wrong thing, you are labeled a fool and anything intelligent or valuable you might say is ignored from then on.  Americans are used to sifting through piles of garbage to get at the truth, and everyone gets multiple tries, so we just keep getting better.  Oh, one more thing:\n\nYou just insulted two continents: South America and North America, which includes the larger countries of U.S.A., Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Argentina, Cuba, etc.  Do you want to rephrase your question?

America is not the best country in the free world (or any other world).\n\n1.  America traps millions of its own citizens in poverty.\n2.  America denies basic health care to millions of its own citizens.\n3.  America is ruled by a president who became president by means of fraud.\n4.  America's economy is dragged down by the nation's militarism.\n5.  America's primary and secondary school system was created by big business for the purpose of generating conformity, and it works.\n6.  America supports genocide committed by other countries who are friendly towards western big business.\n7.  America ignores genocide committed by people who 'don't matter' against people who 'don't matter.'\n8.  America has repeatedly interfered in the affairs of other sovereign nations, generally for the purposes of making itself wealthier and improving its ability to control the world.\n9.  America's mass media is run by big business and is therefore afraid to explore unpleasant truths (see numbers 1 to 8).\n\nShall I go on?  Sure, why not...\n\n10.  America drops bombs on children.\n11.  American snipers shoot children.\n12.  American foreign policy starves children.\n13.  American foreign policy leaves sick children to die.\n14.  America destroyed Nicaragua.\n15.  America has now destroyed Iraq.\n16.  America is friends with Saudi Arabia.\n17.  America looks the other way regarding human rights abuses in China.\n\nWow, this is getting tiring.\n\n18.  American electoral politics is entirely dominated by two parties who disagree on almost nothing of substance.\n19.  American electoral politics is the preserve of rich people.\n20.  America is a racist nation (see number 1, for starters).\n21.  American big cities have murder rates higher than anywhere else in the 'free' world.\n22.  America is destroying its middle class.\n\nAnd finally, because I have to stop sometime...\n\n23.  Americans habitually deny the truth about America.\n\n(PS  I sound like an ideologue, I know, but I am genuinely open to any of the statements above being shown to be false.)

I think America is arrogant :&#92; sometimes the individuals, but mostly the nation as a whole. It gets kind of annoying when people sit there praising America as if it has no faults and all other nations have no merits. Thats what I hear around alot.. "America is the best and everything else sux" It gets kind of annoying sometimes.

Speak for yourself.  You're to fat, lazy, and stupid to type or spell  correctly.  And your opinions reflect your stupidity and laziness.  America is the greatest country on earth.  We have done more good for the world than all other countries put together.

Hmm America is strongest and most powerful country in the world And it is nation of immigrants. So it is highly unlikely that immigrants are distroying a country.\n Rather they make it better :-)

The USA is a great place, but it is egomania to claim we are better than anyone else.\n\nThe EU does a better job providing basic services such as healthcare to its citizens. China has a bigger Army. Japan has a cleaner enviroment, and better education. Dubia has a higher per capita wage.\n\nUSA is good, but not the best

I sort of agree.  Especially during the Olympics.  The USA is so much bigger than (moire populated and better ) than all other countries, why don't they compete under specific states?

Nope! Nothing beats the good ole' USA.\n\nHey, this was the "first thing that came to my mind". LOL

if you cannot feel any difference in your country, elsewhere in the world it can be felt by the way the governments reacted. Everyone is happy that America will measure better its foreign policy before taking any radical action, like war. A single country cannot control a whole world.

There's a whole nation to the north of you that has a higher standard of living, its economy is in better shape, the minimum wage is higher, has universal health care instead of a bloated military that spends trillions on weapons that are never used, is not obsessed with imposing one religion or another on its multicultural citizens, is present as peacekeepers in the world's hotspots, has soldiers coming home dead or injured due to American "friendly fire", has marriage for all, and is a parliamentary democracy. It's the second largest nation on the planet, shares the North American continent, and by and large, most of its population has no desire to be American.

You are correct in your analysis and I agree with everything you say above. It is a shame and a terrible mistake what the USA are doing around the globe, but especially in the Middle East.\n\nThe reason for their unsubstantiated belief of superiority can be found in their religious doctrines and in the massive economical, political and military power they have accumulated.\nIn fact they are one of the worst nations on the planet and their bloated empire will crumble and fall as all empires have before. The decline has already started, and if you want to understand what is going to happen to the USA, read about the end of the Roman Empire. The parallels are staggering.

America has a nasty habit of getting involved in matters that do not directly affect us.  This is a huge cause of contention with other nations.  When America is so divided (and not united as promised), they feel that we shouldn't have any right in telling them how to live.  Americans are also very self-involved.  We think of ourselves first and others last.  Americans also tend to think in terms that the world revolves around them not realizing that there are many other cultures out there.  We forget that other countries have different laws and standards than America and generally, Americans just don't care.  This is why other countries have hatred towards Americans and the government.
