(sorry Eladrimstar for stealing this, but I just couldn't resist)

Many American nations are higher on the scales when it comes to easier life. People in the AU live longer, are individually richer (or at least less in debt), have more free time, are less likely to kill each other (which astounds me, as that seemed the focus in the first half of the last century), less likely to suddenly lynch me (see the last part of my sig.), and are just better, pretty much. For the price of nothing more than higher taxes.

And yet, whenever my fellow Europeans are told this, they immediately, despite facts to the contrary, claim the US is the best country in the world to live.

If, in the next few decades, Europe doesn't shape up and be more America-like, I'm moving to Miami or New York or Rio de Janeiro. Assuming none of those are underwater.
