For the last 50 years, the average person has a higher standard of living than in the USA. Pregnancy leaves, more vacations. Only 5% church attendance.

LOL! Ya right. It's estimated that there are more than 200 million guns on the streets of America. And that's just the civilian population! That doesn't even begin to count the military hardware. I'm having a hard time picturing the Swedish volleyball team invading America. And if you don't like this country, get off your butt and change it. We can do that you know. Just one more of the many great things about America.

If we opt to offer up usa, we ought to might want to attack them. they don't hearken to us. They requested to invade a usa, were given a veto from the Benelux, France, ... and wanting to do it on their own. So till we went to Iraq with our own military to forcefully supply up them from invading, we do no longer have any impression. the in hardship-free words component we may be able to do is say 'we will no longer promote to you' or 'American import could have larger taxes'. yet then there'll be a backlash... . can we take care of that? Our political leaders determined lets no longer. So why are we unable? because we do not opt to get into warfare with the U. S.. or perhaps we can't. The Nato includes united statesa. and Europe - maximum international places don't have an 'military' of their own any extra. also, we've had some negative aspects: at the same time as the european international places were combating between themselves contained in the first area of the 20 th century, united statesa. become growing. at the same time as we were attempting to get alongside - it is particularly complicated using our diverse backgrounds, cultures, previous, languages, and the occasional malicious application - united statesa. become growing. And, also, do not ignore, all of us matter on united statesa.. Painful because it is to say. After WW II funds fee become linked to the american dollar. Wall street crash. And now they are in hardship back in united statesa., and wager what? we are having massive losses besides. we are tied to that continent with the aid of marketplace. What first minister is going to positioned all our prosperity on the line? it ought to have reward contained in the longer time period, yet he'd lose the subsequent elections. contained in the proper, except for our inner issues, international marketplace and militia-project, we are nevertheless ruled with the aid of persons who're in essence selfish. Politics is not any longer some thing you do because you've a perfect. it is a pastime.

You mean like Amsterdam, who has an extremely high crime rate? I also imagine there is a hefty tax bill associated with all those benefits too. The difference is they have the moral fiber to do the right thing and be good citizens. It is instilled in their young. You try that here and the whiners get going. The problem with young Americans is they want their cake and eat it too. You will learn you can't have it both ways.

I am an American living in Norway. They have 1/3rd of their population living off welfare and the second highest suicide rate in the world. Beer costs 6dollars a bottle at the store and food is so over priced people stay thin because they can't afford to over eat. Their government is more corrupt than Americas and is more out of touch with the people. Honestly go somewhere and see it for yourself don't listen to the UN and their BS. Norway donates money to the UN to get such good ratings. Norway produces loads of weapons for NATO and they have the highest drug addiction per ca-pita in the world and the largest heroin problem.
You couldn't be more wrong about a place and truly don't have a clue about the world. Not to mention they are the coldest least friendly people on earth. Come here and see it for yourself. Your correct about literacy but with 4.3 million people that's not a big accomplishment not to mention we take refugees from all over the world and allow them to go straight into the work force while Norway makes them go to school. It really makes me mad when people talk about a place they don't know about..

I suspect you'll get a lot of angry replies about taxes and such - but all those of who who think the Scandanavian system is so terrible might want to consider that there is no movement there to go to a U.S. style system.
What's so bad about believing we're all in this together?

Yes, and their standard of living is way below ours.
The people of every country wants to come here and live because we live so much better than them.
And your description of Scandinavia is pure bull.
