thewre is not a country out there with a government that i like or see as furthing humanity. They all are more concerned about the here and now instead of where we will be in 20,40, 100 years.

I live in the USA so I don't envy any other country.

I fail to understand the logic.

--------------------

Getting interesting results from both threads. People seem to envy countries with better economies (Germany, Japan, Northern Europe, Canada, South Korea) and dislike high profile, high population, and politically hostile countries (USA/UK and China).

Guess Cold is good, and too many opinions are not.

I'll spell it out for you then. I live in the United States of America which while not flawless has everything I want so I do not feel any need to move to another nation. I think after work I'll go target shooting, then have some Burger King, watch Star Wars and play some Halo 4. It's good to be an American.

Like I said I've love to visit many other nations, but I'll always come back to the land of the free and the home of the brave

You make it sound as if no other country has Burger King, or they can't watch Star Wars or play Halo :P And you're not the only country to be the home of the free and the brave :P We in Sweden enjoy everything that you listed, plus free healthcare, free education and less school massacres... And we haven't been to war for almost 200 years. That's almost as long as the US has existed...

And the OP makes it out as something negative that we don't have a larger military force? Why should we have that? As I said above, we haven't been in war for almost 200 years (next year it the anniversary!!), so that's actually a pro, not a con imo...

But I can envy the US for it's very large scoop; you can swim in the tropics, drive through the desserts and go hiking in the dense woods. That's kinda wonderful. And all the Mediterranean countries has such a long history and wonderful weather; what's not to like about that?!

This thread is not about dumping on other counties. I'm not going to criticize any nations. I don't want to live in Sweden. It does not appeal to me. I'm sure you like it, but I don't want to live there. I'd like to visit one day.

The hell are you on about? No one likes it here! It's cold and dark during winter, and during summer it's too bright and hot... And both Spring and Autum is too wet =(

 

BTW, I'm sure your European neighbors will send a congratulations card for your 200 years of peace while they morn the heroes they lost in WWI and WWII. That's not a criticism of Sweden it's just odd to me to celebrate remaining neutral when faced with such rampant evil.

As you can see we have risen above such barbary and should be the envy of the world ^^

No, no, no, I love the fact that Sweden has no military, I actually think Sweden is an awesome country, but I realize that most people reading this thread are American, and in the USA People like military for some reason. I actually couldn't think of a con for Northern Europe, but I felt to Americans, this might be one.

I'm Canadian, and I honestly admire Northern Europe. I think Europe in General is awesome because don't all NATO countries lack a boarder? Every country is so rich and Unique and the Beaches of Italy and France are probably just as far of a drive for you, as Florida is for me. I voted Germany because of good beer, and good car culture, plus the a good economy, and it's pretty smack in the middle of Europe, so you can drive anywhere (and without a limit in many places). Plus hot girls, but all of Eastern/Northern Europe has hot girls.

I guess you could say that we're "communistic", at least we are seen as such by many, so that's a con ^^ And it's damn dark and cold here during winter =/

I get why you wanna live in Germany for the beer and the close approximation to the rest of Europe - but make no mistake; there is no hot chicks in Germany :p

Japan I wan't to experience something different. Canada and Northern Europe don't seem like they are much different than the United States.

I would probably like to live in either Switzerland or Japan. Although, I would not mind staying in Sweden either.
