Sorry, I don't know anyone that has an account on one of the sites, but I do know a site that compares a whole bunch of them and can tell you how to get your own info. for free (which seems to be what you are interested in).  See the site in resources.

Really, I think this is pretty basic stuff that you can find on your own.  You shouldnt trust random people on a question board to help you understand something so basic to what our nation is about.

Try taking an honest look at the questions and the answers just on this site alone. Can you imagine anyone you think of as being 'the best of the best' putting up with this garbage for more than 2 minutes? And please bear in mind, the questions and answers provided here are primarily from people who are only parroting back the awful suggestions made by either Limbaugh or Franken, and by reading their posts you can see most people here really have no understanding of what they are writing, they just like the idea of making strangers feel bad. Every third question is "why is W the devil?" and every fifth question is "why haven't we killed all of the libs yet?"\n\nAnybody who has any sense of self-respect has long since given up trying to reach us with any sort of proper ideology. We have embraced the idea of being the lowest possible denominator, minus one! We watch survivor not because we want to see people eat earthworms (that's why we watch Fear Factor, because we can see Miss Ohio eat earthworms in a bikini and tiara and then witch slap Miss Samoa!), we watch Survivor because we want to see a starving dental hygienist say awful things about a starving PhD candidate. We willingly giver millions of dollars to the publishers of Us magazine and People because we care more about Tom Cruise eating his wife's placenta than we do about whether children in Darfur have ANYTHING to eat at all. We get all up in arms because of illegal migrants mowing our lawns because our War in Iraq is going poorly and we need to be distracted, when we don't care that there are international drug cartels smuggling narcotics to enslave teenagers to their poison every day through the same routes. We pretend we care about the NSA listening to our phone calls, when everyday we gleefully swipe our discount cards at the grocery store, not caring that the 3 cents we are saving is actually creating a massive database that will be used to deny us health care, insurance and probably employment opportunities in the very near future.\n\nOur priorities are completely out of whack, our interests are completely purile, and our allegiance is to nothing more than placating our own sense of boredom. Honestly tell me that anyone wants the absolutely thankless job of trying to really lead us, if they are capable of doing ANY other type of meaningful employment?

As amusing as find your ranting and as much as I agree with you, I still have to say: educated people still are out there, even though it might seem like they were abducted by aliens... \nStill, I would put the question in a different way: How many people on here have ever cared for education?\nPS: I like you!

Hi, I am an Englishman and never visited the States. I suppose like many people I would have to say that I have had mixed feelings about the USA. Most of the information regarding world events etc comes via the media and does not I think always give the most unbiased opinion. Not just in political events. We all see popular shows like Oprah and this without doubt has a profoundly negative effect. We see in the main what can only be described as weirdos and have to wonder if these strange selfish people are indicative of the country as a whole.\nHigh consumers, irresponsible ecological attitude and a me, me, me mind set.\nAll sounds horrible doesn't it? Thankfully there is the Internet where over the past couple of years I have made some excellent friends who have illustrated that there is a far more caring and unselfish, generous aspect to many of the citizens of the US than I previously thought. \nMy country and yours have been strong allies both economically and in time of conflict and shared a whole lot together. I personally hope that this will always be the case.\nWho knows what may happen in Iraq, North Korea and the rest of the world. But I believe that in the main (although always influenced by oil) The forces currently in Iraq are trying extremely hard to bring about stability. If they were only allowed to do so, your country and mine could bring our troops home. The sooner the better.\nIn a nut shell I am pro American. OK?

20 percent of the people here are not native English speakers, and probably do not understand your question fully.  This is evident by their grammar.  Not to mention their spelling, which could actually be an American or Brit that just types too quickly.\n30 percent of the people here are beginners at Yahoo! Answers and just want a quick 2 points to proceed to level TWO.  They don't care what sort of serious or silly answer they give.\n49 percent of the people here are guys (like ME) and we are NEVER wrong, but feel we just have to say something to you babydoll, cause you LOOK HOT to me, and blah blah blah.\nThat just leaves ONE percent of us who are truely dedicated, educated, sincere guys and gals who wish to help mankind in some small way.  We try to improve our BEST ANSWER percentage whenever possible.\nDear Miss Evil Chinchilla, click on my avatar now and see that I have a 10% Best Answer rating.  It could be higher, but I myself sometimes succumb to the urge to give a sarcastic, funny, cruel answer.\nYOU MISS EVIL, have inspired me to achieve a 15% rating by the end of 2006, while maintaining a steady pace towards level 3.\nAnd you know what Level 3 means, don't you?\nYAHOO gives me a new shiny Harley Davidson (whoops, I'm American) and I would be proud to take you on the first trip from Miami to San Francisco.\nwhew... a long way to go for 10 points...  :)

I agree with the previous post. Why not both?  And I really don't want to come across as elist, but I doubt the American citizentry really knows enough about either country to be making such determinations.  What you've learned from watching 'floating heads' argue on CNN or Fox News for an hour probably isn't enough to be determining whether or not you think a country should be trusted.  Hopefully then, our elected officials will do what we expect them to and approach the situation with expert tact.

Can't believe the answers some people post in this place.\nLet me try to explain something to every reader here: DEMOCRACY DOES NOT EQUAL CIVILIZATION.\nI've heard so many Americans say "oh my God, those people in the middle east are savages, they don't even have a Democracy!!!!". Just can't believe it...\nWe're talking about a culture that has sustained itself through the millenia without democracy, and pretty well I shall say. What happened then that we read about them in the papers every day? WE CAME IN. Americans came in. Europeans came in. We're just trying soooo hard to get their culture like ours, selling them everything they "have to" consume, forcing them to follow our examples.\n\nI remember when the war in Afghanistan started, several major TV networks decided to make a drama scene about "women in Afghanistan", remember that? I actually heard a spokeswoman saying "it brutal how they treat women, not allowing them to expose their bodies. They are complete savages!".\n2 months later there was a video response from some women in Afghanistan, trying to explain to us, stupid close minded Americans, that that's how they lived, and that they were ok with it!\nMiddle East cultures, if you've read any of the Corahn, have a great respect of women. They do not abuse them, that only happens in "civilized" countries like ours.\n\nYes, we are forcing them to accept democracy and to accept the westernized way of life. It's really sad actually, if this keeps on there will be no variety at all in the way people think. Not until we all think like Americans.\n\nAnd the answers in this and other questions throughout this site is just a proof of how close minded we can be.

Of course you can !\n\nThis site isn't only for the U.S.\n\nWhere are you from ?

Notice you're only getting answers from people who are from the US...?  All but one who stated what another country's opinion is.  Please disregard the rest.  Now, I was stationed in Germany for about 3 years and I can say that the majority of people that I encountered had a pretty good opinion of American's.  I never really got too much of their opinion of America as a whole.  If it is of any consideration, after the war in Iraq started the Germans actually volunteered some of their troops to guard our posts over there.  Just a little enlightenment and something that the people who say "The whole world hates America after the Iraq War" might want to think about.  The biggest thing that I can mention is when we went to Holland for some training:  The Dutch still look at America as liberators.  So, that's just my opinion as some one who has actually been to other countries, not one who just criticizes my own while I'm safe in it.

As pretty513 has just confirmed - many Americans are quite dumb. I have no idea whether this is the fault of the education system. The UK's education system isn't great at the moment, but I came through it being able to spell and use correct grammar. Going by the spelling and grammar of many of the Americans on here, I think their education has failed them somewhat.
