There’s plenty of data that contradicts that article posted by mcgruff. In fact, that’s the first study I’ve even seen that lists QOL higher in the US than Canada and most of the other Northern Europeans countries. US generally ranks in the 15-20th range. I’ll post links when I’m not on my phone out on bike during my Saturday ride.

Truthfully, I'm watching the swedish chef on the Muppets while listening to Ace of Base. So I guess we're even on cultural appropriation.
And by the way if I say that I love my country. USA! it doesn't mean that I hate yours. My wife is from Lithuania. Corectly spelled and Pernounced (Lietuva) It took a lot of effort but I now speak fluent Lietuvan,,,otherwise I could not communicate with her parents. (Lietuva makes the best beer on planet EARTH in my opinion called (Svyturys Ekstra) (made in Klaipeda LT) Anyway, we have friends and family there, and we visit every two years. We also have friends from there who live in Latvia Estonia Poland Holland, Russia and the Ukraine. Our Ukrainian friends just moved to the US (based on my wife's suggestion to them to come here) and how she came here and has succeeded (my wife got herself a nursing license and now she's a nurse making good money $37/hr) a couple years ago and now they our Ukrainian friends live five miles from us and its wonderful. They now love the USA My wife has a friend from Russia her name is Tatiana, that we visit now and then, down in St Pete Beach Florida. My wife came to the United States via the lottery system. She went through all the legal steps and now she's a US citizen as of 16 years ago. And she didn't know how much she appreciated the United States until she went home the first time after living here sevaral years. She moved here in 96. She loves her home Lietuva but she says there's a huge difference between life in Lietuva and life in the USA. And that she loves the United States, and she grew up under the Soviet umbrella which ended in 94. I'm not going to get into it here but the stories she can tell about her upbringing and it's a horrific things that some of her relatives had to go through are are eye poping. I don't know where I'm going with this, kind of rambling but maybe a few people here will understand what I'm trying to say. My wife bought my kool-aid and I'm glad she did.

The fact that I picked USA has nothing against Sweden. This is where I was raised. I have been to other countries and I prefer to live here, warts and all. My grandparents came from Italy and Puerto Rico...the one that wasn't a fresh off the boat immigrant was only one generation older, from Ireland. Being from different places and taking advantage of what this country offered makes them (and me, by extension) a pretty sweet American success story. I am sure there are many places that might be better to live - but I live here. Having a moron for a president and lots of morons who support him does not make this a bad place to live, to me. The moron crew intent on limiting the options for many Americans does concern me, but I would rather stay and try make it a better community where we live.
“Look, the US is better than Sweden - the data proves it! Even posted twice, it was so exciting.
(Other data provided that suggests this is not the case)
”Actually, no one really cares about data”
Classic.
According to the data I posted that would be correct. I hung out pool side (it was 89 degrees) today then had some wondeful pizza for dinner. Got in my suv and headed to the beach. Picked up some ice cream for my son and headed home. Although it is expensive I love where I live. My quality of life is great.
To illustrate its fittingness, some thought examples:
"I don't have HIV so the world do not need HIV medicine"
"I have no problem taking out vacation days at my job. So workers should not have any legal right to vacation"
"I am not a woman or a child. So no need for maternal leave"
Empathy is the capacity to understand or feel what another person is experiencing from within their frame of reference, that is, the capacity to place oneself in another's position.
In the context of the discussion of QoL, your individual privileged position adds nothing to the discussion. But you choosing to push the "me" does shine a bright ironic light on things.

Remember the initial question: where would you want to live? So it is a great last sentence. I love my life and I love where I live. I am happily married, raising five amazing kids, have a great job and a beautiful house. I try to eat healthy and work out five days a week. Within an hours drive I can be at the beach, in the mountains, snowboard, surf, hike, fish, hunt, drink at award winning vineyards and breweries, and visit two major cities. Not sure where you got the rest of that from.
Ahahaha When I first started reading the forum in 2013, I was bewildered by the comment IBTL w/ the popcorn eating emoji. Haven’t seen it in a while- guessing this is the place for it be inserted.
