If it was, why would they live in western Europe? My country has its flaws, but out of all the places I've visited or even lived, it's the place I think is doing stuff the best. If it wasn't, I would move elsewhere. No way I would move away from what I percieve as the best country in the world. That's just dumb.

    Don't get the started on the mental gymnastics of those Americans. They bitch and whine about how people don't treat them the same as the locals, even though after 5 years they speak know only the absolute basics of the local language.

    I don't know how they justify it, but they seem to think being American puts them above other cultures by default.

    Do you somehow not realize moving countries is difficult and expensive?

    I do, so why would someone move from the supposedly "greatest country on earth", to somewhere else if it's so difficult and expensive?

    They wouldn't. I was commenting on the fact that you said you'd move if you didn't like your country best

    I would. Granted, I am fairly privileged and live better than a lot of people, so that is mainly a comment for myself.

    I am assuming you are Danish from your instance. In any case, don't you realize that the only reason you could just move countries is that you already won the jackpot? Yes, you are quite privileged. Many Americans would love to live in Denmark. I know I would. It's far from an easy option and pretty much means I'd not see my family except maybe once every year or two

    From my previous comment, "I am fairly privileged and live better than a lot of people"
