Why do those national rankings always ignore that we are #1? We're FREE, not Socialist like Europe. So why?

Yeah, all those people in those evil socialist top 10 countries don't know anything about freedom. I wonder if they are all tired of their horrid socialist chains.

Those National Rankings only showed what was the best country to live in all things dealing with life social conditions.

However, if you actually looked at the data, and decided what factors were most important to you the rankings would have completely different.

For example, I would make a case that Nepal is the best country in the world to live for one simple reason....69.1% of their population is female!!!

I'm presuming that you're from the USA - you don't admit to that in your question.

Free and Socialist are not opposites, and believe me - you're anyhing but free!!! Furthermore - we (Europe, and Ireland ion particular) have history and culture. 13 is too high a ranking for the USA and there's nothing awesome about the USA except for it's propensity to invade other countries to make up for it's own sense of inferiority. The saying might be true - "big mouth, small ....."

Guess when the rest of the world gets to vote we turn out to not even crack the top 10. But don't worry...we're Americans, we don't know anything about the rest of the world anyway.

socialism is not the opposite of freedom, dear.

Get a dictionary.

And you only think the US is "awesome" because you have been told to think so.

People who live in other countries are quite happy with their lives, and are just as "patriotic" as you think you are.

Don't you hate it when carefully considered indices of important data always spew out inaccurate results that get in the way of having blind faith in your country and xenophobic hatred of everyone else?
