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. |
US ghettos << Canadian ghettos, but
US middle class > Canadian middle class |

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. |

US: 5.6%
Canada: 7.3%
superior healthcare

Canadians go to the US for premium health care services

Canada? :stongue: :stongue: :stongue:
even the public universities in the US are far better than Canadian ones

Agreed. Its a ing hole. The girls arent nice - I dont care what the 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. |
