Quality of Life Index
https://www.usnews.com/news/best-cou...-life-rankings


The Quality of Life is based on an equally weighted average of scores from nine country attributes that relate to quality of life in a country: affordable, a good job market, economically stable, family friendly, income equality, politically stable, safe, well-developed public education system and well-developed public health system.

What social scientists do agree on is that material wealth is not the most important factor in assessing a life lived well. The results of the Quality of Life survey reflect that sensibility.

Best Countries for Quality of Life

Canada
Denmark
Sweden
Norway
Australia
Netherlands
So, why do you live in a country that at best is only the 7th best? I'll help with the packing of your bags when you're ready to ship out to one of the above utopias. Life is very, very short. You shouldn't waste a minute longer in this dump.

By the way, do any of the above countries top the U.S. in immigration or visa applications?

I say that we should pour gasoline on socialism in these United States and let the other guy pick where he wants to go to for his last days. Let them pay for their own jollies in . . . .

Canada
Denmark
Sweden
Norway
Australia

If there was even 1 more of you, I definitely would leave.

So I guess your moron wants to build a wall to get us out of 7th place? Paper it with the death certificates of the folks kicked off Obamacare?

% of GDP spent on National Defense
Sweden-1.0
Denmark-1.2
Netherlands=1.2
Canada-1.3
Norway-1.6
Australia-1.9
USA-3.2

We should cut ours in half and put the savings to social programs and let the above countries know we can't afford to help should they ever come under attack.
Excluding Canada of course

Actually, I'm not the only conservative, evangelical Christian in these United States. In my local church alone, there are plenty.

So...don't let the door hit ya on the way out...

P.S. We're in 1st place in terms of being the country where the vast majority of immigrants want to settle.

I would be for much of that if done right. Btw, screw Canada. They have been milking their safety off our teet for too long

Why is the united states responsible for developing the worlds drugs only to have other countries then copy them and sell them for nothing.

We should just do the same, it will save A LOT of money. What is wrong with the USA.

Unbelievable!! Ordinarily, I wouldn't get a chuckle of any kind out of some jackelope getting hurt while attempting such a stunt, however, I believe that it is merely a little bit of "Justice" being doled out to the person whom in this case is the most direly in need of a good dose.

costs? Spend some time the (TX) valley, diabetes is out of sight down there. Eating habits of the (mostly illegal immigrants) populace down there is appalling. My wife taught down there for a short time, the diet those folks live on will kill you. Fruits? Yes.... But, No vegetables, a lot of lard. More fat people down there than anywhere I've ever seen.

And WE have to pay for their lifestyle in the end. Send them to Sweden and watch the chart move like running water
