Proposition

America is not the best country on Earth. 16 countries have a higher HDI than the Fifty States including Australia! BeardOfZeus (talk) 07:19, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

• True, but you haven’t formatted your debate properly. Andrew5 mobile (talk) 10:37, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

More topics

• Gun laws and misuse of them, attitudes towards guns and their use, leading to violence and mass murders. (There is nothing intrinsically wrong with weapons, but they have to be handled and owned responsibly.)
• The health system, including the opioid crisis.
• Treatment of the indigenous populations. (Where are the equivalents of the SNP, Plaid Cymru and equivalents in other countries?)

Natives of a country and people living outside it will rate the good and bad points of the said country differently. Anna Livia (talk) 10:55, 6 October 2021 (UTC)

Also places like Japan have higher life expectancy BeardOfZeus (talk) 23:47, 7 October 2021 (UTC)

Japanese life expectancy might have something to do with their pescetarian cuisine from what I've heard.

But yeah, United States is greatest only in military and perhaps income inequality (there are countries with worse income inequality, but U.S. has the absolutely richest motherfuckers in the world, while still having huge number of dirt poor people).
