"Odd as it sounds, our civil engineering. Have been abroad to England/South Africa/Philippines and was struck by how different aka organized many things we take for granted are in the US from municipal utilities to driving code/structure to building arrangements to household fixtures and the list goes on.
It’s remarkable how polished they are here. Our worst is still far better than many most likely. Hats off to the men and women involved in that work."

Pink,
1. No you are wrong. Visit California. when you compare apples and oranges please think about what you are comparing the US you need to compare it to Europe. Not just pick out your best infrastructure country to the whole of the US. Cause then I would Say California which is on Par with Germany. Lets compare all of southern or Eastern Europe to the US and then we would have a wholly different conversation.
2. and as far as civil engineering read the same above...

Lavonia,
The US has the highest number of immigrants (foreign-born residents) than any other country in the world, at 50.6 million.
That's more than three times as much as the next highest- Germany, with 15.8 million.
People all over the world want to come here. Jealous?

Calvin,
The term "America" refers to the U.S. If you're interested in referencing all of North, South, and Central America, you would use the term "the Americas," plural.
Nobody in the world says America and doesn't specifically mean the U.S. Not even you.

Sig,
Yeah, the owner does, which would technically make it a "courtesy" toilet, which implies generosity.
But it seems pretty f@#kin' stupid to argue semantics about a toilet that we can sh#t in for free, while you all have to pay.
