[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The thread is a joke. The idea that people living in DC of all places are qualified to pass judgment on their superiors around the globe is hilarious.  [/quote]
We’re the oldest and greatest country on the earth, we have the highest standard of living, and we’ve never lost a war, we can judge whoever we want![/quote]

We’re just the only country that tells the other countries we’re the best in the world.

Sure.

But why do people all over the world risk their lives to cross the border and build a life here? Surely there is a reason. ICYMI: upward mobility is a very real possibility, and even if you fall short you are in a safe area with access to everything you need.

Americans romanticize other countries and judge our own country far too harshly. [/quote]

Hey, I think there’s a lot that’s wonderful about our country, but the chest-beating is nauseating and the superlatives reek of insecurity.

I am well-traveled. Upward mobility is possible in most parts of the world. Freedom is ubiquitous — in fact about 20 other countries have more freedom than the USA, according to the Human Freedom Index.

I love to travel and the states. Yes, people want to come here. But your perception of people judging the US “too harshly” is nothing more than reactions to your ridiculous hyperbole. [/quote]
