Think about it this way...\nWhy is it that more people try to get into America than any other country?  That should give you an indication on what the rest of the world REALLY thinks about life in America.\n\nConsidering how good it really is here I think we have a right to be proud of our country.\n\nBesides, I have never heard anyone rip other countires for being jingoistic or proud of THEIR country.  Why should we?\n\nGod Bless America.

I assume that the US is the country in question?\n\nSoutherners are friendly, to be sure, but I'd say that down-to-earth Midwesterners are just as nice--trustworthy and eager to make a person feel at home (I'm originally from Ohio, so I'm definitely biased!).

God is the God of all people.  I think Americans can be grateful that they have the abundance that they enjoy.\n\nPride is another matter and it depends on how you mean it.  It is good to be a great nation, but it is also important to be a nation that seeks peace, looks after the less fortunate, and maintains ethical standards of resource sharing, justice, and care for the planet.

No true, I have some very good american friends, though I have never visited the country.\nAnd here, here to the comment about wise voting over the last few days.

The USA is a great place, but it is egomania to claim we are better than anyone else.\n\nThe EU does a better job providing basic services such as healthcare to its citizens. China has a bigger Army. Japan has a cleaner enviroment, and better education. Dubia has a higher per capita wage.\n\nUSA is good, but not the best

I agree with with you...those who live in this country and are not proud to be an American are not in their right mind. They are FAR LEFT in their thinking. Thank God there are sane people like you and I who are happy to be on the RIGHT side of things. For all those America hatin, tree huggin hippy people out there..get real...this nation is great. Though no single nation is perfect in everything, America is BY FAR the greatest nation there is. I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN, WHERE AT LEAST I KNOW I'M FREE...AND I WONT FORGET THE MEN WHO FOUGHT WHO GAVE THAT RIGHT TO ME....\n\nThere aint no doubt I love this land...God Bless the USA!!!

So I've lived in 4 countries - England, Ireland, Switzerland and the USA. From those 4 it would have to be Switzerland.\n\nWhy? - More advanced democratic model, the government works; High quality of life; Good and safe place to bring up a family; Low Tax; Low unemployment; High disposable income; Beautiful; Great Skiing; Diversity; Central location in Europe.\n\nWhy not Ireland and England? For me this is home, and there is so much that is right here, especially culturally, but the rain and high tax are the big issues.\n\nWhy not USA? Again a lot that is good and it is my current home, but high Tax; poor family life quality; absence of real culture; broken government system and education system would not allow it to make the top.

Who told you that America is a great nation? Other than military power there is not a single aspect in which another country doesn't surpass America. It is a country of excesses, full of idiots and ruled by a few evil but intelligent people.\nIt is not surprising that those few smart (but still evil) people can easily make the fools believe whatever they want to.

There isn't a country that is more important than any other one, because a country is comprised of people. If I were to say that my country, America, is the most important, then essentially I'd be saying that the people who live in America are more important than those of any other country. Which, of course, is silly!

I think Americans are good people for the most part just like in the majority of other countries but as a society in whole we tend to group people in big categories together and say they are one way or another.  Unfortunately things will never change that way.  People are people... some are good and others are not.  Every country has them all.  I guess it depends on the politics that rule the countries nation that makes Countries look bad or look good.  Right now I think the American government is making them look bad in some aspects but I respect the fact that they are a very proud nation. I have been to the USA and love it there.  I would hope that people realize the amount of propoganda out there that causes people to think a certain way and that we must know we are not getting the full story when it comes to the war in Iraq and many decisions that are made by the president and government.\nSad but true

This is just my opinion about the above statement:\nUSA is the greatest country in the world, and Americans are by far the best people in the world.  Negative talks about US have been going on since the beginnings and always will.\nI feel we should take care of our USA and it's people first in all ways, and if we have any MONIES left to help others, then we should do it.  Our bleeding heart volunteers in Iraq, should come back to the USA and help us here.  I never heard of Iraq sending volunters here to help us.\nI know this is a comment and not an Answer!

Not all of us are not proud to be americans.  Many people aren't because they have a feeling of self-loathing that america is the most fabulous nation in the world.  They feel it's unfair that america is prosperous, powerful, and happy. They ease their minds by making all of the world's problems america's fault.  I can say that I still am proud to be American.  Can you?

The USA is a wonderful place for many but not all. As for the "best" place there are many other places that are good too.

Yes, very good people, the US media does a pretty good job depicting people from other countries as a bunch of illeterate corrupted terrorist savages, when in fact most people all over the world have good education and show more respect and knowledge of other cultures than americans.
