The United States was ranked the 14th "Happiest" country in the world. It's actually based on a complex series of factors. We just dropped to 18th.http://thehill.com/blogs/blog-briefing-room/news/378358-us-drops-in-annual-world-happiness-ranking …
Last year, I wrote this feature piece on how the United States is not the best country in the world. It's just some bullshit people say around here. We're not #1 in any of the 10 most important factors. We're often not even Top 10 or 20 (or 50).http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/king-united-states-not-best-country-world-article-1.3303665 …
Come on, give credit where due. The US is #1 when it comes to a number of things - murder of civilians - coups - torture - unjust war - genocide - repression - surveillance - mass incarceration - exploitation Read our American Crime series for the facts:http://revcom.us/a/440/american-crime-series-en.html …
If we spent as much time actually working to improve ourselves as we do on obnoxiously proclaiming our greatness, we'd be fucking awesome.
This country has never been "great" in a good way. It has been "Great" at lying, stealing, cheating, racism...I could go on
Any country that would nominate Trump for a public office is the worst country in the world. Any country that would actually put the "man" in office is worse than that.
Was listening to some old radio show (from the 1940's) and wondering when we started calling ourselves 'the greatest country on Earth'...after WWII? After the moon landing?
All good points. This nationalistic false pride that has been created is not warranted. There are many areas that we need to improve in to make the country better.
even in his answer here, sorkin fails to address the fact that even when america was THOUGHT to be the best country in the world, for minorities - it was NOT. https://youtu.be/q49NOyJ8fNA
Strong words. Speaking the truth many want to hide is not un-American which is becoming a common term these days
American exceptionalism
Excellent article, thank you for sharing!
Show of hands. Any black people believe the US is the best at anything good?
Whoa whoa WHOA! Hold on there, Shaun. Let's not get all hung up on fancy statistics when we're trying to delude ourselves into thinking that America is #1. Next you're going to try and tell me that we don't have the best healthcare in the world!
Trump is making it better on a daily basis
So who do you think is #1?
