    I am not saying the US sucks, but I live in Canada and you can have the same freedom and all the luxuries you have and have FREE medical services and make more money. :smile:
    Does your country do more for the world than the US?

    Not sure why these three things are negative:
    Most incarcerated criminals? Perhaps that suggests that we have better law enforcement and keeping criminals off the street. To me, that's a plus.
    Or that it's a sign that crime is higher here than any other country?
    More people who believe in angels? Another plus to me.
    Only if you're a devoted christian.
    We pay more on defense? Right. The USA does far more for other countries than any other country.

    I'm staying where I am.
    At the taxpayers expense. And isn't it high time (I sure you as a catholic will agree) that we take care of our own first? We can't even agree on how to take care of the uninsured sick, but we can sure take care of other countries military issues.

    I wouldn't say we do any less. We are also in Afghanistan and Iraq with the US. We usually work alongside the US military in whatever the situation is. And we are one of the first responders when the US needs us (ie hurricane Katrina).

    If you ask Muslim countries, they would say "has any other country done more against other countries?" Point of view makes a difference.

    I'm not saying Canada doesn't do great things around the world. I know many families who were affected by Katrina, so I appreciate all the help we received.

    Lol, Canada responded even before our own government. But if it was HAITI, we're there because we care.:laugh:

    Of course Muslim countries feel that way about the US. We're talking about what Americans think of our country.

    Lots of Americans are disgusted with how our country is. That's why we have elections.:laugh:

    I'm very intrigued by it, yet I don't have HBO.

    The ones "disgusted with how are country is" are free to leave. Now, for those disgusted with policies, perhaps, and not the country itself: work to make some changes! Vote, volunteer, write your congressman, run for office, etc. If you complain about something, either work to change it or shut up.
