Well, you could always look here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Happiness_Report

USA is 14th.

8 European countries are ahead of the US. 

14th out of 157. That's quite good. Clearly far from being as lamentable as some people in this thread would want us to believe.

Not saying it's not, although personally given the resources available to the US it should be much higher, especially considering the Countries ahead of it. 

Having said that, there's a lot of Countries that should be doing better than they are in that list given their resources.

Yes, and I am asking how exactly are you using that source? In other words, does the fact that the USA is placed 14th on that list mean that living in Texas and Connecticut offer you the same level of happiness? Does that souce confirm that life in every single part of USA is worse than any part of Europe?

Who conducted that research and how reliable are their findings? Would Americans who would say that they are unhappy in the USA be happier in a European country that has a better happiness level?

 

Most importantly:

"several European countries are above USA in every sense that it matters to a citizien, from social servers to level of happiness"

What does the bolded exactly mean and does the source that you provided cover that?

It has graphs and rankings for GDP per capita, social support, health life expectancy, freedom to make life choices, generosity and trust (in politicians) which is the most comprehensive list of happiness measurement in a specific Country that I know of. 

The data is taken via Gallup's World poll and is used by the UN. Unless you know of an alternative or better methodology, this is the best way of determining the happiness level of the average citizen in one Country versus another. 

It's all in the link, and as I said, it's referenced so you could have just had a quick read. 

So do you think that covers "every sense that it matters to a citizien"?

Let me start by saying that I won’t be voting for either candidate.  I just wanted to point out the dirty games that both parties play during election season.

We are witnessing the strategic takedown of Trump in the media by the DNC.

Take a look at CNN for example.  All these videos of Trump have been “surfacing” over the past few weeks and specifically the past few days.  Every few hours it seems CNN has a new Trump headline story.  These videos/sound clips have existed for years and only now are they being brought up.  Strange coincidence that there has been a steady stream of them since Wikileaks dumped 2000 of Hillary’s emails.  Point is don’t let them cause you to forget how unqualified and untrustworthy our next president (Hillary Clinton) is.

When I was a teenager I used to see Democrats as the 'good guys' and Republicans as the 'bad guys'.  This election and the last couple have helped me realize that I was wrong.  Both Democrats and Republicans are 'bad guys'.

Ahahahah welcome to politics and the real world my friend. Of course his oponnents aren't gonna expose his dirtiest secrets at the start of the game. They will wait patiently, when the time is right, when it matters, like the current debates and then BAM. He got got, at the most important of times. October surprise. There is nothing strange about it.

hella funny how you guys get worked up over it though

"why didnt you expose him sooner when it didnt matter as much!"

If the lefties do not try any fool play, Trump will win.

 

 

Hilliary is much closer to it than Trump is, winning it that is.

Its not quite unrealistic that he can win, but its close to that.

Dear god, we're dead...

As close to it as you could quantify at present.

I am pretty sure it was a bomb. Almost everything he leaks becomes a nuke...

What I'm amazed, is that real USA problems are not discussed during your elections.
USA's debt is enormous. Its huge. And growing. How will next president deal with it?

Thats a REAL question. Cut the spendings? Or try to earn more? Who to take money from?

Your military is great, but only when enough money is spent. If USA coulnd't afford military bases all over the world then how it plans to stay nr one?

Thats important!

And not who fucked/groped who twenty years ago, when his dick was still working...
