America: We’re (Not) #1!

Hello,
Can you help me to find most popular dating sites: mens, womens, cristians…
With best regards,

Many of those were only cities, not countries. Many are socialistic countries too. Which is just a mask for failure.

Before we all get panicked about this, note that there are no definitions of these terms in the chart (although I assume the source links provide at least partial definitions).  Take Democracy, for example.  The U.S. is not a Democracy, it is a Republic (If we can keep it…) The Founding Fathers deliberately limited the unfettered will of the people by imposing a constitution which limited the powers of the government, and in particular the legislature.  They did so because they greatly feared factionalism and mob rule, and it has served us well (at least until we decided to ignore it.)  Having said that, someone who believes in pure democracy would rate us low on that scale because of these limitations.

Similarly, if you believe that society (however defined) should pay for health care (and you’re willing to gloss over the inevitable rationing by waiting that accompanies that type of health care), you would rate the U.S. low on health care.  If you compare the U.S. to countries where lawyers cannot become obscenely rich by exploiting every mistake that a doctor makes, the U. S. will not look as good, as we practice a lot of defensive medicine. 

But ask yourself this.  If we are so poor at health care, why do world leaders and the wealthy tend to come to the U.S. when they need medical care?  When was the last time you heard about a non-Norwegian tycoon traveling to Norway for a procedure?
