It's also about what you value. If you think cheap beer is an important part of the quality of life, you'll hate Norway.Why can't you be a non-conformist just like everybody else?

Norway? That doesn't surprise me at all. They are an oil-socialist country. It was funny watching an American economist just go apopleptic about Norway's great welfare benefits and how horrible they were for Norway's booming economy.

Re: UN picks best nation to live
Well figure it out, you have crap employee rights and entitlements and you have a next to non-existent welfare state. Because of this I would suspect the US drops down the list a bit...I certainly wouldn't fancy living there for those reasons...Originally posted by MosesPresley

No more stupid than any other country trying to lay claim to being the "best country in the world". All you can do is measure different criteria and rank countries based on any given category, but it's rediculous to say that there's any singular "best" country.Originally posted by Kuciwalker

I'm not surprised -- there are more progressive countries than United States in terms of economic well-being, civil rights protection, and so forth.A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.Comment
