Well... not exactly. In rating airports around the world, the USA isn't #1, or #2, or #3,4,5,6,7,8,9, or #10. America continues its race to the bottom as the government refuses to do the things that made us the great nation we were and should be.
Not one American airport was in the top 25. The first American airport to appear, Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky Intl Airport, comes in at number 30. The first major hub in the US appears at number 36, Denver.
While we continue to cut and cancel projects to upgrade our infrastructure, Singapore, Amsterdam, Hong Kong, Beijing, Munich, Vancouver, Tokyo, Auckland, Helsinki, Copenhagen, Narita, Cape Town, Tambo, Lima, Melbourne, and many others are all ranked above us. These are in industrialized, 2nd world, and third world countries.

Airports are where you pick up a plane and get dropped off by one...as long as it's safe and relatively easy to traverse, that's all I care about. I don't need a shopping mall in an airport, nor beauty salons, nor movie theaters, nor have an airport with beautiful architecture...If we were to spend money solely on function, I'd be for it....but you know that not how it turns out.

I am surprised that a card-carrying left-wing radical like Box still uses terms like "third world". That term went out of use about 20 years ago -- replaced by "developing nation" --- which in turn is being supplanted by the term "emerging world."

I prefer the truth- TURD World is the term I use.
And of course I am just broken all up that some socialists think they haven't stolen enough of the middle class's money in order to build temples that glorify another unaccomplished central planner somewhere. The things that made America great were individual enterprise, pioneering, trailblazing, and freedom. What made America is individual initiative and brave people acting in their own self-interest to build new places out of open and wild country. The successive generations who had ideas and made them reality without some glorious party leader at the "Capitol" somewhere. They didn't do it with government "protection" or "unions" or enterprise-crippling regulation. Nor did they do it with a bunch of porkers sitting in an air-conditioned office in Washington figuring out how to steal from some to help their cronies in certain industries and special interests. What made America great was not some consensus-building socialists that the Jesuit School lied to you about and glorified. It was the millions who wanted freedom and went out and DID things, and most of their names are lost to the history of the statists and the Eurpeanized institutions and schools.
Unlike what the nuns made up and the social reformers conspired to lie to you about, it was not government pork and largesse built on middle class backs to hand off to corporatists and statist bureaucrats.
America was simply great because it was once free.
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
OK So we're not #1 in that category... but The USA is #1 in the world in Education... Right? We are #1 aren't we? NO? #2?... #3? Oh $hit, not again...

To put it plainly, the United States is getting beat when it comes to preschool. On almost every element, the United States ranks behind most of the other countries listed. We rank: 26th in preschool participation for 4-year-olds 24th in preschool participation for 3-year-olds 22nd in the typical age that children begin early childhood-education programs 15th in teacher-to-child ratio in early childhood-education programs 21st in total investment in early childhood education relative to country wealth

We own more guns per capita than any other country on earth! With an amazing 89 guns per 100 Americans, we even managed to beat out our close competitor Yemen, who only has 55 guns per 100. If we can just manage to buy enough guns for that other slacker 11% we could attain something that no other country on earth has managed to accomplish... A gun for every single citizen!!!

Except in reality guns are like potato chips- most gun owners don't own just one . my sisters ex had a gun in every room in the freakin house ' just in case'. Gun owners are ALWAYS looking for another gun.

If you also count law enforcement, homeland security and the military, we have 1,456 guns per citizen.
