I too agree it is a great place to live. But I feel it is arrogant to say that it is the best. It is very closed minded to assume something is not good because it is different. There are so many diverse places in this world that also have much to offer. I would not hesitate to take up employment in many european countries. It is also typical for many people to say that no other place is as good when they have nothing to base that on. How many people that boast america is the best have spent time in foriegn countries, and not as a US soldier fighting. It's one thing to be proud to be an american, but I don't support being arrogent. Too me, it's the same lines as saying I'm white so I'm the best race.
