Comment on Is America Really That Bad?

  Yes off the top of my head our parks system is emulated world wide and generally the most impressive aspect for visitors of our country.

  We also have unparalleled accessibility for people with disabilities. Try to get around Europe in a wheelchair. You won’t have a good time.

  It is relatively easy to start a business.

  We have the top universities in the world.

  We are the best place in terms of medical R&D, as well as scientific research in general

  We are above average in gender equality (though there are certainly places that are just as good or better). I wouldn’t want to be a woman in the middle east, for example.

  We have the best road connectivity, though obviously quality of those roads could be improved.

  We provide more humanitarian aid to foreign countries than anyone else (depending on your perspective this could be good or bad).

  Should I go on?

    You should back those things up with more than “because I said so” is what you should do.

      These are all easily googleable items.

      Or whatever, if you want to believe the US has zero redeeming qualities, then go right ahead. I’m kind of sick of talking to someone who has such a fucking negative outlook.
