[QUOTE="JL 0513, post: 1793517, member: 50088"] Lot's of people cite Nordic countries and places like New Zealand as great places. They are nice in their own ways especially since the majority of the world's population lives in largely crappy conditions (China, India,...). Keep in mind these are tiny cultures. The United States has more illegal immigrants than the combined population of New Zealand and Sweden. There's more people in NYC and LA alone. It certainly makes things less complicated to deal with. So are these nice places? Sure. "Greatest country in human history?", I think not. You have to measure history, developments/accomplishments, power, lifestyles, and everything to measure a country's status. The title goes to the USA. It's actually not even arguable if you're thinking rationally. I can't name a single thing to come out of New Zealand. What do they make or invent of significance? The United States has more inventions than every country combined with just a fraction of the world's population. How would you like to pay $8.50 for a gallon of gas? Welcome to Sweden. It costs you $6.50/gal in New Zealand. A gallon of milk in NZ is $6.50. Good times. We as Americans too easily forget how good we have it. We have a lot of problems but you really need to look at [I]everything. [/I]Why isn't everyone flocking to these places? Why do most aspire to the US? I don't see anyone here getting ready to move to Sweden. Why? [/QUOTE]
