That was the question. I guess you missed the "?" after it.

That was YOU, raising the possibility that the US was the worst place to live. Otherwise, you would have chosen a different title, like "US--not the best place to live?"

But hey. Care to discuss LEGAL immigration? You know -- the way YOUR ancestors came? It averages about a million a year. All those people coming, year after year after year, to the hellhole that is America.

Howcum, cuz?

Sorry that was from the original title of the video. I should have come up a better title. The point is that I don't think anyone here is saying that the US is the worst place to live. That would be just as ridicules as the American Propaganda Machine saying "American is the greatest". Which is what I suspect RT was trying to counter point.

Personally I don't think it is the worst place to live. I do believe that it is not the best place to live either, and I see it declining pretty fast. Especially if you are not a billionaire.

I don't think the Deep South is a third world place. It is poorer than the rest of the USA, and has been for a long time, since after the Civil War. As to why, it is something to look at, from a historical perspective.

I would nominate most liberal run cities.
What about Seattle,WA;Minneapolis,MN;Madison,WI;Columbus,OH;A ustin,TX;San Francisco,CA;San Jose,CA;Portland,OR;Boston,MA? All are liberal cities and none of them are considered miserable cities.

I'm just saying that whether or not a city is liberal or conservative is not the best indicator of misery.

Libs and leaners on this forum often speak ill of the south. There's only one reason I can see why that would be. Racism. Yep, I said it. Run tell that (old southern expression)!!

Look at the charts again. Where do the numbers start going down? This blaming Obama for the problems caused by Bush is getting old. We all know who wrecked the economy. You are not going to rewrite history that easily.

Well if it's so bad, why don't all the Lefties and their clientele do us all a favor and pack your bags? Then we can get back to restoring what works, without all the green and pink nonsense.
