Other than being the most tolerant, there isn't any other index to prove the US is the best country. Every well being index I've seen shows the US is just barely making it in the top 10.

I'm not in 5th grade so I don't know about these "ranking systems" but I can tell you the two things I like most about America:

1. Beautiful scenery: We have it all here. Just a gorgeous landscape.

2. Beautiful women: Best thing of having people from all over the world is the diverse group of women that call America home.

The fact that you are "being shown" these indexes shows that somebody is trying to convince you of something. Net migration would be a better indicator.

US gave $30 billion in foreign aid last year—more than double the second largest contributor on this list.

Isn't that great?

One thing is our freedom of religion. We are nearly tops in that.
