What if Germany, France and Scandinavia were superior to the US? The murder rate in the US is 3 times higher than in Europe, French banlieues are pretty harsh

What if Germany, France and Scandinavia were superior to the US? The murder rate in the US is 3 times higher than in Europe, French banlieues are pretty harsh but have nothing on Northeast Philly, creationism is a non-issue on the Old Continent outside minor communities, and US healthcare is a total mess. I saw this video the other night about a team of physicians going somewhere near Bristol, TN. What's this? It's scenes you'd think you'd see in Africa.

If being objectively superior is the criteria for celebration (or as you see it, bragging), then the US trounces any of those countries in space and can be celebrated. If superiority were irrelevant, then it would be fine for the US to celebrate also. I think this view of celebration as bragging is your real issue.
