i don't normally like to post. prefer lurking.

americans tend to be whiners and complainers so take above posts with grain of salt

everywhere has pluses and minuses. i lived in the netherlands and i didn't like it. over a decade. too much social control. too high taxes. everything expensive. didn't like mandatory health insurance because i don't go to doctors. government in your life from cradle to grave. too group oriented. no freedom

canada i lived for 4 years. don't like mandatory health care cause don't go to doctors. where i lived in vancouver everybody lied. don't ask me why but they did. nature best in the world there. everything similar to USA though more government control.

USA has most generous people of all 3 countries. i've had hard times and americans have been most giving to me. USA is place you can experience the most freedom . probably l/2 of american population doesn't like government . that's why there are guns. government = tyranny. beautiful nature here.

l bedroom is same as in canada or europe roughly = $700/800/month
food roughly $l00/week (tastes better in europe) (canadian/american food is disgusting because big corporations make crap food(there is good food to find but costs money))
i don't smoke or drink usually
gas $3.60/gallon
internet $26/month

electronics are cheap and so is clothing and other durable goods

food is costly

fascism is coordinated worldwide by those that have been in power. so this land has become more fascist.

difference here is americans won't tolerate much longer fascism. when i lived in netherlands dutch put up with fascism. europeans seem more obedient.
