No offense meant...but from this American...please don't lump us all together as ignorant...while I love this country there are vast differences among us.
Also...unless it is some kind of scientific study(even then you have error) any survey from any media source is completely BIASED. Studies like that infuriate me. You have no idea the type of people they asked to participate, if it was voluntary, if they targeted people from uneducated backgrounds to participate to get the results they wanted...the list goes on and on. None of those surveys on any kind of media mean anything because there is an extreme margin of error in their testing and the subjects they choose.
And another note...I would never say this country(United States) is the best. There are many places I'd love to visit that I believe to be beautiful countries. To say any one country is best is extreme.
