[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would raise them in the USA first because, having lived abroad in many different countries, I think we have by far the best quality of life. However, outside the US, my top personal choices would be: Italy, France, Malaysia, England[/quote] LOL where exactly did you live? We’re not even CLOSE to having the best quality of life…[/quote] Actually we do. This is such nonsense. You spiked Americans have absolutely no idea how good you have it. If the UK was a state it would be #51 in every single metric. [/quote] WTF is a “spiked” American? [b]And you’ve obviously never lived in a Nordic country[/b]. Most places in the US are an absolute embarrassment in comparison. We’re still better than Canada, though, and I’ll die on that hill.[/quote] Don’t even get me started on Nordic countries. Incredibly high COL with low salaries Terrible weather Lack of innovation and diversity of jobs Rules/laws about everything High taxes *Insane mortgage debt* for income levels Inflexible labor market due to laws Everyone making roughly the same amount of money. A cleaner making not much less than an engineer. Forced gender equality that in reality has just made life more difficult for women and easier for men. For example, women being pushed to take long parental leaves that are low paid with unavailable childcare. Women expected to have completely separate finances even if married and completely provide for themselves. Hence the parental leave since men are now not supporting women after they have children Group think where everyone is the same and it you’re not, you’re a problem, which is why there is a lack of innovation and growth [/quote] As I suspected, a list of complaints made by a person who has obviously never *lived* in one of these Nordic hellholes. The quality of life is AMAZING and they’re extremely kid/family friendly societies. But they do expect their citizens to be educated and responsible members of the community, so I can see why a person such as yourself would be fearful of that.[/quote]
