Americans are the best race thus far

Americans have #1 best social location in the world. The best
opportunities of all people in the world and we have the best
military.
Americans are generally English speakers as well, the most
expressive language in the world!
Our customs are great too. One arms distance from each other
most of the time, handshakes, expressions, etc.
We basically bully each other to keep each other as top dogs in
the worldly community. Everywhere we go we get MAD respect.

Yeah.. I see no reason to even start debating on this because
there's a shitload of pro and con arguments that it's way to
tiring to get into.
Besides, Americans are essentially Europeans.

K so youve listed some negatives, but I don't see any of you
posting what is more positive about your countries ^^. You feel
inferior to USA or what?

How do you make this claim?

This shows that, in the US (and UK), if you are born poor,
you're greatly more likely to die poor.
Nearly on every dimension we consider positive, such as
education, health care affordability, infrastructure, the US is
getting further and further behind. One of the only things we
are still relatively good at is median income.
I'd much rather have been born in Australia, New Zealand,
Canada, Sweden, etc etc.

Chakra, More people are on the waiting list to get into the US
than any other country.

That's cool. Per capita we aren't near the top, though.

Per Capita, Libya and Qatar has over nine times more migrants
than the US. Zimbabwe over six.

Most of the poor that become rich happen in the US.

There's more opportunity in the US to become RICH even if you're
POOR :D.
So, Chakra, do you have an opinion of which is the best country
or not? If not then get out of the thread.

Your evidence of poor people becoming rich is an article that
with 11 people? That's an entire 0.000035%!!! Such mobility!!!
In the US, your chance of success/failure (economically) is
determined 50% by your parents' wealth. In Denmark it's 15%. You
seriously think individuals have greater opportunity in the US?
Basically any north western European country is better than the
US. For the sake of argument, though, I'll pick Iceland.
Iceland ranks 12th in Education (US 13th), 8th in
inequality-adjusted HDI (US 16th), a perfect Freedom House
ranking (same as US), 11th in corruption (US 19th), and 1st in
peace (US 99th).
