My sister and brother-in-law lived there (Singapore) for ten years and yes I visited them on occasion. They called it the rock (for a reason). I agree, it is very attractive when looking out the window from a highrise, much less attractive in the back streets. Much of the same could be said from looking out the window of Trump Tower in New York, or slinking down a street in Harlem.
Home is where you "feel" comfortable and know you are safe, wherever that may be.
I knew that was coming! I agree, if it's so bad then why stay? All it takes is an airline ticket right?
I was born in Germany. I have lived and served in a few countries. For now I still believe that the U.S. is number one regardless of it's flaws.
Wouldn't it depend upon the critera in which one is rating the country(s) ?
After all If I was rating Singapore on the quality of the Western style Barbeque, they would probably finish well behind the U.S.
However if I was rating the legal justice system, I might give some high marks for the judicial caning that they have there vs our "Boot camps"
watever, even if the USA isnt first, its definitely not dead last, consider some of the 3rd world countries, which werent excluded in the original post, would you rather live there than here, or how bout dictatorships or somethin, there are lots of countries that are way worse off than we are.
and if you think its so bad then do something about it, sure, one person tryin to make a change isnt extremely effective, but one person sittin behind a computer talkin about how bad something is is even less effective, if at all.
i for one love this country. a country where i can practice whichever religion i choose to, or where i can practice no religion at all if i feel like. a country where i can help change something if i dont like it, a country where we arent killed or jailed for callin "Dubya" an idiot (i dont think hes an idiot btw)
lol,i love america but this country is really messed up,and i dont have the fiancial means to "go someplace else",plus i dont mind it that much.As many flaws as we have,we're still pretty cool.

I don't mind USA not being first, but come on, France rated over the US? Ok now...I like to be a nice guy and all, but I hope you get hit by a dumptruck. Pure-blooded American here...through and through.
I have a feeling Urbanski's prediction was right, haha.
No...I'm not an Indian. My ancestry is about 50% Irish, 50% French. I'm not straight off the boat though, so as far as I'm concerned...I'm pure-blooded American.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, one of the best countries in the world, People in America are truly blessed, generous, decent, friendly, compassionate, I have travelled one end of the states to the other, I have never had a bad experience. America has nothing to apologize for, most other countries are just jealous, without America, all of Europe would be goosestepping, its time European countries started to realize that. Feel proud of your history, support your troops. Although I'm a Canadian, I love Canada, but you can always recognize 'class' when you see it.
