You can make a positive and negative list about each and every country on earth, and still not prove anything. All you can do is find the best place for you, based on what you want out of life.

I'm fortunate and happy I was born and raised in the USA. It's an awesome place. But after 30 years of living there, I wanted to live abroad to learn new things and have new experiences. It has helped me grow and learn as a person. But that's just me. It's not for everyone.
