Here you go, you're a good example of what the majority of the US thinks.
And than you wonder "Why do they hate us so much over there in Europe?
By the way, the best place to live in the world is Norway. And US is not even
second or third.
Quote:
For the fourth year in a row,
the United Nations has ranked Norway as having the highest standard of living in the
world. Sweden, Australia and Canada are next in line, while the United States is further
down the scale.
End Quote.
The United States landed in eighth place on the list. So much for your "By a wide margin".
Although I'd give it a much worse rating, below 15. There are many countries I'd pick
rather than the US, countries with higher levels of Democracy with people who are a lot
less arogant, are better educated overall and are a lot slimmer. Who wants a 150Kg+
girlfriend?
I've been to the countries mentioned here so I know what I'm talking about.
I bet you've never been outside the US, have you? So what is your position based
upon, government propaganda? Did your mama tell you US was the best place to live
and you were gonna kick those EU asses?
