I guess China is the best.......

Depends on what you're looking for.

The US is the super power (in more ways than military) for a reason. Parts of Western Europe and Australia are close seconds (and are even better in some areas), but in overall quality/opportunities, IMO the US is the best.

Cuz I'd like to be able to chill after work with a nice doobie and not get hounded by police?

I mean, have you ever met a mean smoker? Shiet, smokers are the most chill people on earth.

Because we keep them out (except for the Mexicans, apparently).

I get the impression that everyone here thinks that this country is complete $hit. There has to be something else other than booze, drugs and hookers.

 

[ChAoTiCpInOy]

Better in what way?

 

[QED]

20/20 I think ran a recent show detailing the "happiest places" in the world to live.

Denmark, I believe, was top on the list. The US was middle of the road.

Do you remember why Denmark was better?

Were they possibly talking about the United Nation's Human Development Index? The US is currently listed as number 12 in the world. Linky

The whole review was based around surveys done asking people of various nations what they liked and disliked about their country, how happy they are, how stressed they are, and how hopeful/concerned they are for the future.

Denmark ranked high, according to the study, because everything is highly socialized-- so most people do what they enjoy and/or interests them for a living as opposed to working long hours at jobs they hate. There is little crime. Apprication for the arts and culture is very high. There is very little political strife. People are generally very content with what they have and are not prone to buy things they don't need.

But, perhaps most importantly, Denmark has almost zero diversity--religious, ethnic, or otherwise. This means less differences of opinion, less strife, etc.

Interesting that most of the top rated nations are in a cold climate.


And yes I do like pie

So if I decided to live there I would be considered as strife?

I don't think so. Denmark was #1 in their study-- which was primarily based on psychological surveys of citizens and not necessarily GDP/GNP or health care statistics.
