I'm not falling for this jingoism! Well.. who am I kidding, of course I am.. I don't think we're best but it's not a competition (yeah, that's what all losers say!) .

U-S-A! WOOHOO! Time to put my US flag shirt on again.
Well what you want me to say? Today, I woke up few hours ago. I started the morning in the sofa watching American tv channels and shows. I drank American soda, and now I'm listening American music. And here I'm speaking with Americans. I'm about to watch an American movie soon. I won't be eating Mämmi and watching all Kaurismäki movies and listen humppa. Jeesh, even I'm not that patriot.

U S A! U S A! U S A!

edit: Ups forgot to answer. Yes I think we're better than most countries.

You don't know a whole lot about us Swedes then... We're indoctrinated to secretly and smugly believe in our own superiority but it's a total social taboo to actually say so out loud. Instead we put up (skewed?) universal criteria for greatness, note sweden's high position in every chart (schools! telecommunications! fair play! etc.) and pat ourselves on the back, while clearly demonstrating that this does not make Sweden, as such, better but that we're simply quite good at stuff everyone obviously aspires to.

Plus theres the entire protestant-scandinavian Jante law, but let's not get into that.

The Jante Law has ten commandments that basically all say:

Canadian here and its patently obvious that we are better than MOST countries on almost any measure an average person might use. But as has been pointed out, there are a lot of crappy, impoverished totalitarian countries out there.

Just the fact that we are all sitting in front of computers with internet access means we are all sitting more comfortably and freely than about half the world.

we don't have that taboo in norway. we are generally more nationalistic (in a joyful, non-racist way of course) than other scandies I guess. I think it's because we were a "colony" for so long.
