I understand that, just throwing some shit your way.
I have traveled a lot in my life.
I live in an area that is one of the most full seasoned places in the world. During the summer it gets up above 120 degrees in the shade, below freezing in the winter, every green in the spring and the fall colors compare to New England in the fall.
We have a lake with 365 miles of shoreline, we're a couple hours away from the beach, minutes from the mountains. I can play in the snow in August, I can explore caves minutes from my house that take hours. The people are friendly, the crime is low. Most here want California to split three ways and make this the state of Jefferson. Black Bart held up a Wells Fargo Stage Coach walking distance from where I'm sitting.

And if I need the big city, San Francisco and Sacramento are a day trip away. I just got back from a road trip to LA

you mean in a studio filled with sand :1orglaugh

classic!! :1orglaugh

I think you're looking for this thread
https://gfy.com/fucking-around-and-business-discussion/654000-food-guys-eat.html

You're talking about a place where you live. I'm sure that almost every a rather big country has many places like yours. But I thought we were talking about different things. E.g. why the USA is #1? The #1 in what? etc...

BTW, I'm going to visit your city this summer (no b/s). Then we can start a new thread like like "is San Francisco still the biggest baddest and best city on the USA" :)

P.S. Some pics from snowy Russia (shot not by me):

Maybe for the politicians but from an average citizen’s point of view, it's
Norway, hands down.
May not be the baddest or wealthiest (although their GDP is definitely up there)
It’s a great place to live and unlike America, a country that cares about their people.

Just my opinion don't want to get into any heavy debates over it.

God Bless America!

China bank is moving to buy US branches.

I want to ask a Native American Indian.

living now in Thailand super good and cheap , but never for all life:) , live in Prague it is ok in summer, but of course US the best place for livng , including kids and your old dad or mom who will get second interesting life in US.... Was living in Barbados or st. Kits :D, travel a lot of time , but never been in Australia, some people said that Sydney or Melbrune are good for living for people who likes mega city ;) but average house price in good location in Sydney starting from 1 000 000 US makes me cry ....

and about Russia, have some good good place, but never for living, and better not even travel to any city show photos from main city all in shirt :) travel to Moscow last year , never want again :), only Siberia and Baikal ... not for whether only from people and from everything that around you when you are in Russia , same Ukraine, but people much better , but also all dirty and boring like in Russia ...... better live in Burkina Faso then in Russia for me
nothing personal

They are the biggest consumers of online porn, so for me they are number one!

i like it here just fine.

LMFAO!!! ... RICH?! mwahahahahaha - sure, as long as china gives ya money :2 cents:

Pigshit...China owns a small percentage of our National Debt. We buy Chinese products with dollars...China gives those dollars back to us when they buy U.S. T Bills/debt...pretty much a win...win for the U.S...now isn't it?

So USA get products from China and China get some worthless piece of paper that is losing it's value all the time due to inflation of the US dollar... Sounds like a win/win!!!

I'm an American not living in the USA and I'm not making a value judgement on quality of life, but I'll point out that...

When the world was about to enter a global depression, when the credit markets were freezing around the world, where did the world rush to put their money? China? India? Russia? Norway? Canada? Nope.

Right, wrong or indifferent, it was the US Dollar and US Debt that the world fled to. Call it the lesser of evils, but that's the reality and it answers some of the moronic comments in this thread.

Sweet deal isn't it.

You are correct...and they did this because they knew that if anyone could survive a global depression the U.S. was...and is...their safest bet...as we have the largest economy in the world.

NOT true. Canada would beat U.S. in that sector anytime :winkwink: but yea! Immigrants get lots of opportunitues in U.S. too.

Still a long time for U.S. to lose #1 spot thou. Despite whatever the fuckin debt U.S. has to China, China doesn't even come close to being #1.

How can I argue when you call USA Baddest and Best ;-)

I don't think you have gone to Alberta or other states that make Canada...There are huge natural sources, most of which are under ice as of now. However, dont you worry, man will find a way to exploit them. And lets not forget the recession that we have just gone through.....Canada fared much better than US & UK...So there

Thread over. :thumbsup
