You may prefer the life in Italy, Netherlands or Costa Rica but US rules the world.
Some ppl like it, some don' but what i stated before is rather true.
There is actually only one truth in that - the fact that the US is the biggest world power. The only element that is accurate in that statement is that the US is the world's biggest military power. In all other respects it is irrelevant and likely to get less relevant from this time forth.

The fact that a nation cares to squander a significant portion of it's revenue on a load of metal under the guise of "defending our nation" has got to give rise to the possibility of a mental disorder or a severe sense of insecurity.

You actually hit the nail on the head when you raised the issue about lifestyle. Much as I liked my time in the US and have many friends there, - it is not a country that I'd actually choose to live in. In fact, almost any other country has more basic freedoms than the US, especially at this time. It is also not a country I'd choose to live in and operate in the adult biz and live under US laws - there are more incarcerated people in the US than any other nation on earth.

Bottom line... who cares about the "world's biggest power"? As long as they don't mess with me or where I stay - I don't give a shit. Other countries seem too busy to bother and it is all about lifestyle than listening to garbage every day about "wars" and "how we need to defend ourselves".

I find it all very, very sad and with little to offer of real life...
