I would just take my chances with any country in Europe, even it turned out to be Belarus or Ukraine. At least in some of them you get free healthcare and education as well as a decent industry. Also, where guns are legal in Europe, at least they are trained to use them and are responsible.

Had this been asked in the 1950's. America, no question but today it seems so backwards in most things. Especially politics.



Xbox Series, PS5 and Switch (+ Many Retro Consoles)

Prediction: Switch 2 will outsell the PS5 by 2030

Right now USA by a mile lol Europe needs to get its shit together. It was my dream to live there, especially in the south. I was set to do my masters in Spain a few years ago, but all of that changed with the crisis. Maybe one day since I am indifferent to Asian culture, and I'm more familiar with European culture given the colonial ties they have with the countries I lived and grew up in.

Japan and Australia would be pleasant places but the gun thing instantly rules them out.

I won't live anywhere where Im not trusted with equal power in my hands as the government.


I'm afraid there aren't many countries that allow the ownership of aircraft carriers, or nuclear weapons...



Europe by a long shot.

London craps on any US city (yes, you too New York) so I'd go with Europe ... but Miami if you have money is awfully nice.

Actually I don't think it's illegal to own an aircraft carrier in any country.

They're just so expensive nobody would.  I mean only like 15 nations own Aircraft Carriers.

I mean an aircraft carrier is nothing more then a boat with an airstrip on it.

I believe the UK have auctioned off a number of aircraft carriers to the higehst bidder, accepting bids from both public and private buyers.

 

Chinese companies buy them to make theme parks and casinos out of them.



I tried to find a Gif with Phil from Modern Family yelling "USA, USA, USA!" Then I decided it wasn't worth it.

Still, my answer is USA. So far, my Amurikan life has been pretty great. And I wouldn't want to end up in a random European country thats still not quite up to par.

I'd go for Europe, despite the risk of being born in some developing nation. Once I'm in Europe I can move to any country anyway.

Life is so good and comfortable in most of Europe.

What is it about the USA that causes you to select Europe?  Most people in the USA have comfortable life.  The GDP per capita is higher that most EU countries, so on average you are likely to be wealthier in the USA.  Or is it for other reasons?

That's a myth. No healthcare, no social security or anything. In belgium you can live without working. In US some needs to have 3 jobs at the same time to live.

Isn't London extremely dirty? And isn't the cost of living really high? 

Also, Miami isn't all that great. It's extremely hot and there are zombies.
