"Why is America the greatest country in the world?"

It's not the greatest country in the world.
You're going to tell our students that the country is so star-spangled-aweomse, that it's the only one that has freedom?
Canada has freedom, Japan has freedom, the U.K., France, Italy, Spain, Germany, Australia, Belgium!
Out of 208 sovereign states in the world, 180 of them have freedom.

There is absolutely no evidence to support the statement that we are the greatest country in the world.
We're 7th in literacy, 27th in math, 22nd in science, 49th in life expectancy, 178th in infant mortality, 3rd in minimum household income, number 4 in labor force, and number 4 in exports.
We lead the world in only 3 categories: Number 1 in incarcerated citizens per capita, number of adults who believe angels are real, and defense spending, where we spend more than the next top 27 countries combined, 25 who are allies.

Now none of this is at the fault of a 20 year old college student, but you are, without a doubt, part of the worst. generation. ever.
So when you ask what makes us the greatest country in the world, I don't know what the f.uck you're talking about.

my teachers teach me now that we're a pretty f.cked up country. It really isn't sugarcoated anymore.

This is actually a famous quote, I'm not sure if from a movie or tv show, not my own words. There are still some uneducated f/cks that feel America is great and perfect, you wouldn't believe. I just work with the public. I hear it everyday.

oh i didn't know that... I'll have to look the quote up now. I don't really know about the rest of the world because I mean I'm only 14, but in my school at least almost everybody is unpatriotic and I remember last year in a class our teacher told us, "I don't know why we're always made out to be the good guys. America is just as bad as the other countries we criticize" Those are just my personal experiences though.

There you are. I was the news room. I think that's great. I'm 18 years old and not once have I had an adult tell the me truth about our country. I had to figure it out myself. It's great that people are teaching our students the real world now.
