Better than the USA?

Everybody seems to hate on the USA...

but which country is better than the USA?

And why?

No, not everybody hates the US. Given the choice to live in USA and many other countries, I'd probably pick the US.

However, the collective arrogance of the US pisses a lot of us off. The fact that the US is a world superpower means it often meddles in the affairs of the rest of us, which we don't appreciate. Getting some of America's more idiotic and cut-throat economic (and otherwise) policies rammed down our craw does nothing to endear us either.

I can still remember the sick feeling I had when I spoke with an economics student out of the Netherlands, and he adored the US system, warts and all.

"Ever live there?"
"No."
"You're a fucking moron."

Personally, I'd rather live in Canada, New Zealand, Australia, and much of western Europe (and some parts of eastern too). YMMV.
