     This is no laughing matter.... serious intervention is needed to save a fellow brotha.... we need to work together to get 3rd the help he needs...

    https://counsellingresource.com/features/2016/02/01/illeism-and-narcissism/

    Have you ever heard someone talk about themselves in the third person? That’s something called illeism, and while it’s probably a fair bet that not too many are familiar with this term, most of us have probably heard someone talk this way at one time or another.

    Lastly, it’s not so much how someone references themselves that will reveal their narcissism but rather how they regard and refer to you. If someone’s repeatedly ignoring, disregarding, or stepping all over your feelings (even if they claim it’s not “intentional”), or acting like you don’t exist, don’t count, or especially, don’t compare, you’re probably dealing with a narcissist, or at least someone with a fair degree of narcissism in their character. So, if you’re involved with someone who has the unusual habit of referring to themselves in the third person, beware for sure, but don’t necessarily panic. Be less concerned with how they reference themselves and more concerned about how they regard you and the other people in their lives. That’s the surer test of their character.

    The report is released annually.
    Last year Canada ranked second only to Switzerland.

    1    Canada
    2    Japan
    3    Germany
    4    Switzerland
    5    Australia
    6     USA

     

    Canada is a fine country. Visited many times over the decades. Have several friends there (including covers members) and two relatives. The U.S.NEWS is a credible medium but I have to wonder how much the 2020 pandemic affected their 2021 rankings for the U.S.   If not for covid I believe we would be ranked higher.

     

     

    Terrific country!  Have a few buddies up there myself.  They've been ranked by the U.S.NEWS ahead of us for a few years now.

     

     

    we should close the gap with the canadians by at least one position if not two in the next report

     

     

    At LEAST one spot improvement to narrow the diff!   Don't know at this point if other countries could also improve significant enough to overtake the U.S. and widen the gap

     

    i agree  but looking down the list beyond USA there could b  1 or 2 nations poised to move up and create greater separation unless canada tumbles in the rankings

    @KellyM_1964

     Sure as hell isn't going to be the Aussies !!!  

     You are correct though, Sweden and the UK are just behind the US and with the UK dropping all covid mandates (no they didn't get rid of these they just are leaving it up to the responsibility of their citizens) and the Swedes going AGAINST vaccinating their children under 12 years of age.... with those moves both countries may overtake the US, depending on what happens over the next 12 months...

The U.S.NEWS is a credible medium but I have to wonder how much the 2020 pandemic affected their 2021 rankings for the U.S.   If not for covid I believe we would be ranked higher.

     

     

    Terrific country!  Have a few buddies up there myself.  They've been ranked by the U.S.NEWS ahead of us for a few years now.

     

     

    we should close the gap with the canadians by at least one position if not two in the next report

     

     

    At LEAST one spot improvement to narrow the diff!   Don't know at this point if other countries could also improve significant enough to overtake the U.S. and widen the gap

     

     

     

    i agree  but looking down the list beyond USA there could b  1 or 2 nations poised to move up and create greater separation unless canada tumbles in the rankings 

      Possible.  I'd rather just see us move up though.

    The U.S. News & World Report  just released their 2021 Best Countries ranking,
    and our good neighbor, Canada, has taken home the title for the first time in history.
    The report is released annually.
    Last year Canada ranked second only to Switzerland.

    1    Canada
    2    Japan
    3    Germany
    4    Switzerland
    5    Australia
    6     USA

     

    Canada is a fine country. Visited many times over the decades. Have several friends there (including covers members) and two relatives. The U.S.NEWS is a credible medium but I have to wonder how much the 2020 pandemic affected their 2021 rankings for the U.S.   If not for covid I believe we would be ranked higher.

    Once again our social-democratic neighbor to the north beats USA.

    This time in the 2022 World Happiness Report.    Yet again.

    Canada was even further ahead of us when Trump was in office.  But we gained ground in 2021 under Joe Biden after Trump was kicked out by Americans fed up with his BS.

    But at least we rank just above Czechia.  an_cheers

    That report also shows we are far behind the other "pseudo-Democratic-Socialist" countries like Finland, Denmark, Iceland, Switzerland, Netherlands, Luxemburg, Sweden, and Norway.

    But at least we have freedoms and rights those countries don't!
    This includes the freedom to restrict voting rights of visible minorities; the freedom to contravene a woman's legal right to abortion; and now the freedom for angry citizens to walk freely in public carrying loaded guns.

    So we are ranked 16th,  behind all those socialist-democratic countries, including Canada.

    Welp,  thank goodness we aren't ranked 17th in the world.  That would be embarrassing for us.

    @I_Need_A_Detox

     Try touting our country once in awhile instead of trying to play the race card. That's an easy copout.

    In fact, when is the last time you promoted a predominantly non white country?

    Like never most likely, You just like to start shit about race.

    You don't care about anyone but yourself.

    Most of us call this free speech, when things don't go the dem's way you play the sexism, the you like little kids and the race card, it's ok for Sleepy to play the race card remember he said he going to put a black woman on the bench, why would you even come out and say that? If Trump said I'm going to put a white male on the bench a couple people in here would say Trump was playing the race card with letters this BIG, one thing about sleepy is at least he knows what a woman is, Jackson doesn't so she should go and then try another black woman at least one who knows what a woman is, and we know why she didn't answer that but I think that going to make her sit out a few cases if she doesn't know the difference. I don't care if the person is black, white or even has poke a dots. But Sleepy plays the race card and you don't say anything.

    OH ya  VP Harris lost another staff member I think she just past Trump, Don't you guy's love it. The things that are coming out in the book are not good. And one of her people deleted 10.000 + tweets and emails (come on man)

    Canada announces new legislation to freeze purchase, sale and transfer of guns.  Stronger penalties against trafficking.  National buy back program for assault weapons.  Gun capacity limited to 5 rounds.  Stronger red flag laws.  Canada remains one of the safest countries in the world.
