2. Well, if we discount Luxemborg

we're number 10. Luxemborg really isn't a country, is it?

3. Look at all of those socialist countries ahead of the U.S.

Two of the top three are Scandinavian countries with their stinkin' gubmint socialized medicine! All of those socialistic Scandinavian countries are ahead of us!

So's Canada. That's blasphemy! Canada's always our little brother and can't be rated ahead of us in anything. Didn't you guys at Newsweek get the memo?

It's obviously a biased survey and should not be acknowledged.

:sarcasm:

Everyone knows USA is #1 in everything. Just ask us.

It's too bad they didn't have another category to rate the countries - military spending. We'd be #1 in that and it wouldn't be close.

I have a feeling the U.S. would be #1 in idiots in the media if they had that category to rate the countries by.

4. Speaking of socialized medicine,

Japan, with its socialized system, is ranked No. 1 in health on that list.
