UN says largest humanitarian crisis since 1945

[Kosh]

Yes I spent 4 years in Germany

Then  4 in Australia might have stayed

Then 3 In North Carolina

This is just based on systems I have used (for all I know Mongolia's might be the best in the world)

Germany - fastest, least complicated, Best doctors in terms of knowledge and being helpful

Australia - Nicer Hospital then at home . Just below Germany in the above

America - If I don't have something nice to say

bold mine

Fare enough. I only have direct experience with the US and depend on other people's stories. My sister has little good to say about Canada healthcare, but that another discussion about access and efficiency if you have non resident status. (4 years in Calgary while her husband worked for Shell). 

The bold: That is at the heart of the matter. The constant negatives about the US get old, at least for me. Yeah, the US may not be the best at all things, it has flaws, not perfect. That being said, I think (hope) you'd admit, in part, that the US must get a lot of things right also.   

And here is what rubs me wrong, this forum seems to have more than it's fair share of US haters (maybe hater is to strong, but it's close). So now the question I would pose is why? Does the forum population give equal time to Canada is shit because....., Austria is shit because......, Britain is shit because......

Or is this more a case of sour grapes? Is it more personally fulfilling for people (you, abaris, Mr Abba, Min, to name a few) to run things down than to prop things up. Personally, I can't be that person. Well I can, but I don't like it and would prefer not to. What do you (the collective) prefer and do your posts support your preference?

I live in the US and I fucking hate what is going on.  I don't hate my country, but I'm sadly disappointed in about half the population.  I don't see the leaders of other countries taking to twitter in the middle of the night and spewing batshit crazy ass bullshit.  Trump and his alt facts minions are a direct reflection of the average American psyche and it's truly horrendous and frightening.  So much for enlightened civilization.  In my opinion, any criticism from abroad is justified. 

I'm happy to pat ourselves on the back when I think we do right, but I wont turn a blind eye when we devolve into the mental equivalent of monkeys throwing their own shit at the wall.   From what I can tell, I'm not going to have much nice to say about murrica for the next four years.
