Poverty? Life expectancy? Vaction time? Infant death rates? Education? Standard of living? Crime rates?

Are you suggeting that the U.S. is the only country with "freedom"?

From the ones I've visited, yes we have the most freedom.

And I do agree with what you said, America is the best country.

Please do not take this as an attack; however, I would like to know what countries have you visited that left you feeling this way? Please understand that this question is coming from the Peoples Republic of Kalifornia so I have problems--many problems

After more thought, I might be confusing some countries as having as much, or more freedom confused with feeling like I am being treated as an adult. Fact vs. feeling. Different.

"Left me feeling which way"?
I asked someone to provide the reasons (statistics) to why he believed the US was the best country.
I didn't express any feelings.

No problem. Canada, England, Hong Kong (under British rule in the 1980's). No true freedom of speech and no 2nd amendment, and not too sure about the 4th amendment. If the government doesn't like what your doing they stop you and there is not much you can do about it. Canada basically seized the first power company in the early 1900's. They didn't regulate it, they SEIZED IT! And trust me you won't want Canadian healthcare. I have in-laws in Canada and the UK.

Philippines, Mexico, and Central America, you are only as free as you can pay to be. Government corruption is rampant.

Haiti, pure dictatorship. No legal rights at all.

There is much more I could tell but thats a start anyway. Cali is heading the way of these other countries it seems.

Canada....wonderful people! Beautiful country.

[yqtszhj]

Canada, I'll agree that it's beautiful. As to wonderful people, I spent my time in Toronto and I wasn't that impressed. Maybe it was because I was in a big city. Where I live people are just as friendly if not more. My brother in law is a Canadian redneck and he's ok but he's from Alberta so maybe that's why he's different. They have this weird love/hate relationship with the government. They love the substandard free stuff but hate taxes. There is so much under the table business it's crazy.

But the government is in your business big time. You can't cut down a tree in your yard without permission and possibly planting another one because of global warming. Now I do love trees but I don't want the government to tell me I have to love them.
