People flock to all civilzed countries for medical assistance. Americans travel to Canada to buy cheaper prescription drugs.
I don't consider America better or worse than comparable countries, why do you put so much effort into trying to make similar countries look worse?

i never said other countries were worse nor am i trying to make other countries look worse. all countries can do that on their own without my expressed opinion (including the country i live in).
i am 100% for my country and as for asking why? well that goes without saying. there are some countries i think need adjusting in their thinking and france is at the top of my list. that does not mean i do not like french people for the one's i have come in contact with have not been the stereotyped people i hear about.
i do not like reading, hearing or seeing other countries put down america and it's americans for the sole reason that we have done so much for other countries and at times, it seems as if we are doing more for others then we are our own. being american, i can voice that without fear. has our government been reckless? at times, definitely. has this country recooped and moved on? without hesitation!
i want you all to think for a minute....on 9-11 there was no looting, rioting or crime of any kind and in a city where this is most possible, it didnt happen. we had people all over this country wanting to help (some with ulterior motives i am sure) and as a country, we didn't let this circumstance devastate us. now, take a look at the middle east, asia and even europe (where in northern england pakastan's and palistines who reside there still believe in arranged marriages and will kill their daughters if they run away and marry outside the arrangement...i have the article to prove this) and tell me if they would handle the situation the same as we did when arranged marriages are still believed in? i am not saying that living in another country is a bad thing and that everyone should come to america. i think we have enough people comming over here and not with the best intentions (which is obvious).
i am sure those living outside the us are quite content and that is the way it should be. however, dont scream anti american when we have done more good for those outside of our walls then harm. and if those govt's think that our govt is the evil empire, then dont come to us for assistance of any kind. you cant eat your cake and have it to. just doesnt work that way.
have a good night
