I met a boy whom I knew from meeting his class at school. He was 12-13 a couple years ago and he speaks English well. I asked him about a food store which had just opened across from where we stopped to talk. "It is my store" he said. A house under construction nearby had some loud banging coming from the roof. "I like that house" I said to him. "That is my house". I explained my likings; he entered the gate to his house and I walked on. About 100 yards later it dawned on me. I would doubt 95% if an American child told me something like that. This boy? I knew he had no need to fabricate anything like what had just transpired. He graduated (at 16) and i have not seen him for over a year. The house is complete, of course and the store expanded.
Of course, I always hear this question in Russia. I tell honestly, USA is best for making money, but Russian people are by and large, best. It is the deep Russian soul.
Certainly not the decadent hyper-liberalist dysgenic hodgepodge where I contempoarily reside... America 60 years (preferably 100) ago would have been more amicable to my tastes and predilections. By God even the most Rudimentary forms of public Etiquette, decorum, and respectability have been grotesquely perverted and thrown into the heap. The onset of misandric Neo-feminism and this acclaimed "sexual liberation movement" 60's onward have fundamentally debased and masculinized a preponderant of North American females, engendering an unscrupulous, truculent, complicated relationship between the interactions of men and "ladies" and allowing uncouth social conventions to become normative. Sl'twalks and garbage attire/behavior/sensibilities abound....
Don't misconstrue my position for romanticizing the other nation, Russia is most certainly not beyond or impervious to reproach in particular regards....
USA
It's my opinion
Russia is good too, but Marpia and cold weather
depends on your definition of nice people and best country.
besides, most Americans never set foot in Russia and vice verse so how do they know?
