[QUOTE="LilMinx, post: 3263031, member: 115476"] In a nutshell, he discusses how America ranks surprisingly low in things like public health and education when compared to other countries, yet many of its citizens still believe that they are #1 at pretty much everything. As a half-American, half-Canadian currently living north of the border, I agree with both your and Maher's sentiments. It seems that so many Americans fall hook, line, and sinker for the idea that the USA is the best country in the world without ever having experienced life anywhere else. Not only are there people who live happy, fulfilled lives with much less than the average American, there are also countries that offer better education, better healthcare, and more freedom than the US. This doesn't necessarily make the US a bad place, but as Maher says, it does make it a little silly for Americans to figuratively wave a big foam #1 finger in everyone else's faces. [/QUOTE]
