'Which country does the most good for the world?'

Hello midcan5,

I found this fascinating and since I have genetic markers from the 'most good' country it helps explain my wonderfulness. LOL Many in America would call the nations in this survey socialistic? So why is that a bad word in America? Who made it bad and why? Thoughts.

I have never been happier that Ireland is on the planet!

I wish I lived in a good country.

I haven't listened to the video but I'd have a hard time believing that since the US has essentially been the worlds policeman since WWII and that death due to war, as a percentage of the population, are at historical lows and that with just reasons the post war era has been called the Pax Americana, that the US has done more to enhance peace and prosperity that any nation in human history has.

Hilarious. I must say, I have met many Texans who are mild mannered, polite, and maintain impeccable social etiquette.

I always say I am Californian when I am traveling internationally. In general, that provenance seems to be held in higher esteem than Trumpist America does .

I've discovered in my travels in Asia (and I've been to Japan, Philippines, Hong Kong, South Korea and China) that there are only two US States as far as they are concerned. California and next to California.

Warts and all...I have to agree. That doesn't mean we haven't done some pretty appalling things and that there isn't room for improvement but as I said previously, this era of human civilization isn't called the Pax Americana for nothing.

If the USA, as a world power were to vanish than economic collapse and violent upheavels would occur all over the world.

As ugly as Americans can be...we've done a pretty good job of protecting and policing the rest of the world from some pretty bad guys. I'm not being a nationalist either. The evidence of the impact of US international leadership is overwhelming.

I can't speak to southeast Asia, but Europeans know more than a few of our states. I have teenage relatives in Russia who are fully aware of Texas, Florida, Hawaii, Alaska, etc.

I have told some Europeans that buck teeth and sloped foreheads usually indicate West Virginia, Kentucky, Tennessee, et al.

They were doing fine when they were Socialist. It wasn't until America got involved that things went to shit. And it's the same thing every time a country attempts Socialism.

I still don't want the kind of Socialism that Venezuela had, because it's way too restrictive, but they're just not a good example of Socialism failing.

Purportedly,international polls frequently indicate the socialist dominion of Canada is the most admired nation on earth.

For some weird reason politicians like Trump and George Dumbya Bush reduce America's stature in the world, and travelling internationally one gets a palpable sense of increased anti-Americanism.

So Canada does not have a free market system based upon CAPITALISM? :palm: Where does the money for all THE FREE SHIT come from? :dunno: The only thing Canada is successful at is TAXING THE HELL out of its citizens. Hell Canada would be broke in a heartbeat.....if its borders were not protected by the greatest military on earth.....THE U.S.A. What it does not have to spend on PROTECTION it wastes on government programs.....so the socialists can stay in power. Why do they have cheaper meds? The citizens of the US pay for the actual cost of the drugs as they pay for the R&D that Canadian citizens do not have to pay for...…….its one big shell game.

Especially with this USA Christian Nation's Communism of Christianity while private property is defined as whatever their master race needs to maintain ethnic cleansing of anything defined not Christian; which in itself is Christiananality pedophilia resulting in an Islamidiotocracy of "death to the infidels" tautology to supplement that "serve the Pope or die" diatribe master economic plan.
