I agree, France is not #1. You should come to Norway, it’s beautiful down here. I don’t think USA should be #1, but it’s definitely in top 10. Majority of European countries are overrun by filthy Muslims and gypsies, and euro-zone is on the fast track to collapse. Europeans got lazy and stupid.

I will tell you all something:
America- Your a fat lazy country but thank you for helping England with the war, oh and thanks for leaving Iraq the other day? Cheers guys.
England- Your slagged off like mad by people who dont live here and people who do. Sorry love xd
Norway is has best quality of life and extremely good healthcare and education system Norway is 1 btw I’m an American so I’m not supporting my country because I’m Norwegian
For pure freedom and the ability to have your back watched, America, is number one. It’s a land were no matter what your race and religion are, as long as you are causing the wheels to turn and are paying your taxes, you have the right to do what you wish. Heck, even if you are a lazy bastard(based on the gene passed on by the male) or on Welfare(Based on the educational attributes of a Family) you can live life with no worries. Many other countries on this list are wonderful, many are much better overall than America but, we are the only country in the World, that offers Pond Scum(those who produce children with little regard of who the Father may be)the same rights as the rich(those who make Millions by using the Uneducated in their experiments) and their destructive ways. Only in America, can we truly say: The US Government takes care of us all! Have a Safe and Productive Day! Dbone.
Dbone what on earth are you talking about? Pure freedom? For the USA? The US Government takes care of us all? If you knew “anything” about the US government you would know that if they really “helped” their people, they wouldn’t have spent *Billions of dollars* of people’s money to make aircraft such as the SR-71 Blackbird (Which hasn’t been in use or production for over 40 years now!) and the Aurora project (which we don’t know if it’s being used today or not.) Each Black bird was about 30+ Million to make. This is the 1950’s-1970’s were talking about. The whole “Sr-71 project” was worth billions. I don’t know if you know this, but Millions of people around the world see the U.S.A. to be a “evolved Germany,” it’s 100% noticeable that they want “Power over everything” Nuclear power, technology and weapons advancement. It’s written all over the internet and has been noted by Military personnel, that some military will find, and Kill whoever tried “telling the world” of something that was supposed to be kept quiet, freedom..safety…right. I fail to see how you said ” Only in america we truly say the US government takes care of us all ” when in fact, it was the U.S.A. Government that got* themselves in so much debt. (Example, making Secret Aircraft, Nuclear Power/Bombs, Hyper and super sonic travelling weapons aircraft, that’s just a few, I’d list more but you’d think them to be impossible or unearthly.) I can 100% Guarantee to you, if you Americans hadn’t tried to be the most dominate with weapons and military, then you wouldn’t have been in such a…low state that you guys are in now. Russia and Asia Do not, like the USA, and truthfully Russia and Asia (being alliances) have both nuclear power, in the description of world war 3* u see the “nuclear holocaust.” If Russia and Asia were ever to attack the USA that country would literally not stand a chance. The only chance they would have is if the US Unexpectedly attacked those 2 first, and** anywhere U find WORLD WAR 3 it’s also noted that the USA would be a part of it, HUH, big shock there, That being said, it is “obviously clear to see that if the USA hadn’t done, certain things***** or reacted in such ways** in the past 2 world wars, things would have been different today, and probably for the better. For the countries part. . The government keeps so many secrets from it’s people it’s stupefying. If you could actually know what** things their government keeps from it’s people, I would make the assumption “Millions” of its people would move, or leave the countries premises. So before you start stating all this non-sense against one of the MOST AGGRESSIVE countries in the world, being Great awesome and caring to it’s people, Search your facts. It’s obvious the government doesn’t want people to know about things “Like aliens” for example. Your an American, so I’d have to obviously have the assumption that you know that it was your people first on the MOON back in the 60s right? It’s 2012, we have car’s that can park themselves, planes that can fly at speeds over 3500 (and some secret up to 30,000 MPH +) we have undersea travelling tunnels, and we have the technology to fly aircraft around moons and planets in our solar system, so then ultimately the question arises, if the USA wanted to prove to the world they could be first on the MOON, why on earth* have they not gone back? The first step on the moon was 02:56 UTC on 21 July 1969 by the famous Neil Armstrong, it’s 2012. Do the math. So the US haven’t been to the moon for 43 years WHY? That’s the question you should be asking when doubting all this ALIEN “nonsense.” Either way your government is the least trustworthy in the world.
