To have the US compete you would have to break it out by state. How can Alabama compete with Norway haha.

These lists are so subjective, it's not like they really mean much.

for everyone that thinks this shows something about the us as a country... youre an idiot. yes these other countries may have better living conditions than the USA as a whole, which includes the entire south, but guess what? i bet every invention youre using right now is a US invention. look at your tabs for your US invented internet right now. most of you probably have facebook-USA, google-USA, and something like youtube-USA. the us is still the best country in the world, and this shows jack shit

the list ranks countries by standard of living (obviously subjective), not by number of inventions, your post is a bit pointless, mine is too though

The list was never intended to show anything about the 'power' of a country, whatever that is. No one assumed this either.

perhaps you should think of an actual argument next time?

It's funny how a great number of people getting involved in these debates are likely not to have been to any countries other then mexico for spring break and canada to buy beer...

n you say fat as in good you spell it phat.  And it's the junk food one.  There is a thread about it here on NSG someplace.  Something like per person there are more fat people even though the USA probably has more total people fat its like a higher majority of the Australian population is fat.  I can't remember and I am a little high right now.

i hope this works.. USA ranked 9. australia ranked 21.

There are currently 1.6 billion overweight adults in the world, according to the World Health Organization. That number is projected to grow by 40% over the next 10 years. The following list reflects the percentage of overweight adults aged 15 and over. These are individuals who have individual body mass indexes, which measures weight relative to height, greater than or equal to 25.

I could point out MANY flaws with all those countries

AUS has the fattest amount of people and the 5th highest taxed, and has many, many bans on random stuff, such as american psycho the book and auto paintball guns

Ireland has insanely expensive housing costs and an emerging problem with militias

France is the 4th highest taxed country in the world, Sweden being the 6th

and 50% of all of japan's doctors are in debt

There was a thread someplace that said Australia was number 1.  Plus, that list SUCKS cause it's all jumbled up and is making my retinas bleed.

I may stand corrected though.

Google founder Sergey Brin was born in Moscow, Russia. Facebook co-founder, Eduardo Saverin, was born in Brazil. Steven Chen, co-founder of youtube, was born in Taipei, Taiwan. His partner, Jawed Karim, was born in East Germany. Jawed also created the core anti-fraud components in PayPal.

Mark Zuckerberg, one of the few American-born founders in your list, is also the only one ever accused of and sued for stealing an idea, not only by fellow students at Harvard, but also by his co-founders.

Those companies exist because the United States is one of the easiest countries to start a business in. NOT because our country is superior.

agreed. Although I would refine it more. Make a triangle from the northern most tip of Washington to Denver, Denver to the Southern most tip of Cali, and then up the coast of California. Maybe make a wide arc so we get Yellowstone in there.

You're right, I do get pissed off at bad grammar.

I mean, c'mon, English is arguably the most commonly accepted language in the world. You Norwegians should spend more time learning it.
