Being poorer or richer has nothing to do with standard of living--which the list shows.




For information on how to measure the Standard of Living, download this pdf file.

cypras, so much better, yes its poor, but everyone is so layed back, and then there is greese. Oh the food

ya know i just can't believe canadian slums can be worse than american slums, granted i've only been to canada like twice and only for a few days. But man the "inner cities" are so crap in the large metropolitan areas of the U.S.


but yeah if you are at least middle class it's not so bad in america, as long as you have a job that covers health insurance and your kids don't go to college. if you're middle class and you're kids are going to college you get raped.

You seen my picture online somewhere?

lol cant believe noones mentioned Ireland being no.10







WHY!!!!! how the bejesus did did that get 10, this place is the arsehole of the planet lol

higher standard of living in the states??? my ass. whats your unemployment rate again? private healthcare, substandard public education?? i think not


id rather live in iraq... HAHA

america is the best place in the world to live if you are motivated and have the stones to make it in a true market coordinated economy.

it's the worst place to live if you're a lazy bum.


and it's the exact opposite for Scandinavia.

Well GDP per capita isn't the greatest of measures to use. I would say the UN development report is fairly good with its calculations. As someone stated before, however, the top 10 countries are typically the one and the same since the HD indexes have miniscule variances at that point.

5.6%. Do you know what your unemployment rate is? I think not since you asked that question.

quote:

Originally posted by colonelcrisp whats your unemployment rate again?

US: 5.6%

Canada: 7.3%

quote:

private healthcare

superior healthcare

where do you think most drugs are invented? Canada?

Canadians go to the US for premium health care services

quote:

substandard public education??

where are Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Columbia, Berkley, etc.???

Canada?

even the public universities in the US are far better than Canadian ones

oh, and there is MUCH MORE financial aid available in the US

TA's should chip in for your ticket. we'd have one less anti-American bigot

Is that the list for richest countries? Or is it your personal list of most livable countries? Swiss at 4th is a nice touch if it is

Agreed. Its a fucking shithole. The girls arent nice - I dont care what the fuck the rest of the world says.

The only reason someone should like living in Ireland is if they have some fetish about modems, slow Internet access and vastly overpriced broadband.

Originally posted by butterfly why isnt switzerland there? wasnt that at the top of some list or something?

Presumably because its near damn impossible to get a license to live there permenantly!

GDP per capita, adjusted for PPP

So is like the internet your whole life, and the determinate of what makes a good place? How exciting.

I've met heaps of hot, easy going girls from Ireland, and unless the magically change when they arrive in Australia, I'm figuring there are some there also.

What's the use of being at the top of such list? Take Japan, for example. Those guys work hard but many Brazilians who come back from there say that they're extremely stressed and work their arses in order to live. Sweden is famous worldwide for its cases of depression and suicide. No offense to those who live in these countries (I would even like to go to these places someday), but there's nothing like living in a laid back culture where we actually enjoy our reasonable quality of life, weather and friendship... I really don't understand why work so hard if you can't fully enjoy what you're working for till you retire. Not to mention that many parts of Brazil can be compared to most European countries (but the northern parts of the country take us back to the middle of the list because they're blatantly poorer)

At least, that's how we see it.

edit: Just realised I spelled something wrong.

very well said Marcus
