Australia, Canada, The USA, all great countries that would be fun to live in. They have all so much to offer. If I’m lucky one day I can come and visit
All of Scandinavia looks nice.I would also like to visit Iceland one day to see their nature. There’s so much out there to see in the world.
It’s exciting to think about all the cool things that’s out there to see in the world.

SwedenI'm at my third holiday week of 5 payed (little more $$$ than when working). We get that every ear, If i manage to leave my sofa and slip, break a leg, I go to my doctor and get that taken care of, for free. So I think I'm staying in Sweden :-)
Oh, yes, we keep that damn rapper in custody, he wont get a chance to skip his sentence. He can't pay his way out of here as in the US :-)

Swedencincybearcat said:5. The government of Sweden controls your access to alcohol.
In the decade after the second world war, Sweden was really struggling with the problem of alcoholism. After trying several other methods of cracking down on this issue, the government decided on a policy that they called Systembolaget in 1955. This structure is the government-controlled alcohol store, and it is the only place you can purchase products that contain more than 3.5% alcohol.
Is this true? If so - reason enough to not vote for Sweden!

Take a close look at it in sweden. It’s not good at all. Heck I don’t even like most of the state laws we have that restrict access, but they are tame compared to Sweden.hippiemom = goodness0 -
SwedenJust imagine, if I lived in Sweden we could own a business AND have health care at the same time!
What an amazing idea.
Taxes wouldn't be any higher either.
No-brainer right there!Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -
U.S.A.Joking aside, there are many amazing places to live and I would enjoy living in Sweden most likely. That alcohol law though is legit a downer for me. It would be a real reason I would likely prefer many other places.
SC - I’m assuming that includes any beer that is over 3.5% too?hippiemom = goodness0 -
SwedenI don't drink the devil's piss so I'm good to go...not very progressive with pot either though and I do enjoy a dry buzz.
It's a classier buzzMonkey Driven, Call this Living?0 -

Our taxation rate is barely lower than Canada and Sweden, and is definitely higher if you consider the costs like healthcare, childcare, and other benefits the government can provide cheaper than our private options that are not considered taxes.Monkey Driven, Call this Living?0
