Enjoy yourself with your Mercedes, 4th wife and your cheetah. Just have a company and lay all the day. Now, in Qatar.
Or
Select your president, be free, you can have safaris in our jungles. Good for a vacation. Austalia is waiting you.

The Arabian countries are wealthy, but not free.
Australia and New Zealand are very nice. For me, New Zealand tops Australia, just because it is not so hot in summer.

Nobody talks about these but what about Qatar, Emirates or Saudi. As long as you are a citizen of the country. No democracy but super wealthy. What do people want ? Anyway here they clearly take benefit of their ressources.

Norway could be compared with Nuru mess by the way.

I don't know well New Zealand and Australia ? How is life there ?

Only two countries scored top of all the 2017 freedom indices for political rights, civil liberties, economic freedom, and press freedom. They were New Zealand and Switzerland.
Switzerland model is also very interesting. It is not al all the same as Sweden on the economical point of view and for the social protection. But they don''t really have natural ressources and perform quite good.

I'd say that the common point that I see is that :
* people are proud of their country and to live there
* the economical situation has been good for a long time

Norway is one of the few successful models of government-heavy healthcare systems, but that's not all to life.
Sweden and Denmark but not Norway.

Norway is a "paradise" because they are only 3+ millions but live on the biggest oil field of the North Sea. They managed this treasure at best but the results cannot be comparable with countries without such ressources.

Sweden model is more interesting regarding their State management model.

Austin and New Orleans have been absolutely swamped with idiots running away from the product of their own idiocy on the West Coast and love nothing more than to tell us that we, the ones who built the places to which they were so attracted, don't know how to live our lives properly.
We built this city on rock and roll!

So maybe they don't score perfect on all statistics. Still, overall, they do better than the USA. But you just can't admit that, can you?

I have to wonder whether we can deport the people who have moved to California from shitholes like Ohio or Alabama back where they came from. I like the Salvadorans. They are hard working and have great food, unlike midwesterners and southerners
I like how you quote the food, that's the extent to which most liberals interact with foreign cultures. Not you specifically, maybe, I don't know you. Just funny how the benefit everyone seems to mention is diverse cuisine and nothing else.


And I don't think you have the slightest clue how fucking happy those of us living in the South and Midwest would LOVE to swap transplants with you smug fuckers from California. Austin and New Orleans have been absolutely swamped with idiots running away from the product of their own idiocy on the West Coast and love nothing more than to tell us that we, the ones who built the places to which they were so attracted, don't know how to live our lives properly.

Finland is ahead of Switzerland in gun ownership? That surprises me.

"Finland ranks third in global gun ownership behind only America and Yemen; has the highest murder rate in western Europe"

It's almost like the two are linked.

don't scandinavian countries lead the world in suicides?

Look to Denmark, the country that routinely leads the world in happiness surveys per-capita income is also a leader in categories like alcoholism, murder (highest rate in Western Europe), suicide and antidepressant usage.
Finland ranks third in global gun ownership behind only America and Yemen; has the highest murder rate in western Europe, and by far the highest suicide rate in the Nordic countries. The Finns are epic Friday-night bingers and alcohol is now the leading cause of death.

Worldwide surveys have consistently ranked the Scandinavian countries — with their generous family-leave policies, low crime, free health care, rich economies and, yes, high income taxes — as the happiest places on earth. But this happiness has always been accompanied by a paradox: the happiest countries also seem to have the highest suicide rates.

I agree with Octavious that most differences between many countries are relatively small. If you score #1 or #25 in a world ranking of all of the measures I menioned, you are lucky to live in there. It would be refreshing though when people could recognize that their own country is not always number one or even in the top five of the world and that other countries do things better.
Noone of them should call the less fortunate countries s***holes.

That comes at the price of higher taxes, but most Europeans are fine with that. Universal health care for example is supported by even the conservative and even more rightwing parties.

Capt Brad, nobody says US is bad. And you may have noticed that millions try to go to Europe too, risking their lives. US is not bad, it is even very good.
But Northern Europe is, according to all kinds of measures, better.
Life expectancy, happiness, availability and affordability of healthcare, freedom, lower diffences in wealth and income, financial protection against bad luck etc. are all better.

Perhaps we should keep the undocumented and deport all of the leftists.

Re: Post here if you live in a Third World s***hole

by CAPT Brad » Sun Jan 14, 2018 10:46 pm

And I repeat. If the US is so bad, why do millions risk death and deprivation to come here.

Re: Post here if you live in a Third World s***hole

by CAPT Brad » Sun Jan 14, 2018 10:45 pm

Of course the real oppression in the US comes from the left who is trying to stage a political coup and overturn an American election. Something that even the US Civil War could not do. The left has no ideas just peddles fear and loathing.
