Whats the best country in the world(per person) - debate - GoFuckYourself.com

scottybuzz · 07-18-2006, 12:14 PM

per person (i.e. per average quality of life per person) Its quite obvious that american would in overall best country(but thats because of its size), but im talking about the average person.

I hope you understand what I mean.

I also do not want this to turn into a sleeze fest with people complaining about certain races.

Personaly I would choose the best country to be either Sweden Or Switzerland, because quality of life is just so damn good!

Sweden - they may be taxed like 60-80% but fucking hell, the tax is used to efectivly
They are not hated across the world like america or western europe.
They have a rich economy
Crime rates are superbly low
Schooling is good
and they have ikea which is like a seriously huge company globaly.
Per person I would say they are the best country

On the other hand though
Switzerland are neutral to everyone so they have no enemies.
The countries transport is second to none.
They are very very rich.
Quality of life seems to be good
You dont find many poor people there.

etc etc

debate with me please, but remember no fucking sleeze

Tough to pick when you haven't lived in them all, I think.

KingK7 · 07-18-2006, 12:21 PM

Oh, btw, Norway is a notch above Sweden.

Plus Sweden has an insane amount of immigrants.
Norway should buy Sweden and turn it into a cotton plantation. Problem solved.

From Wikipedia:

Quote:

Freedonia ("Land of the Spree, and the Home of the Knave") is a fictional country in Europe, depicted in the 1933 movie Duck Soup, which starred the Marx Brothers. Duck Soup was a box-office disappointment at first, but it has since been recognized as a classic film comedy, and seen as a subversive satire on war.

In the movie, tiny Freedonia is suffering from severe financial problems, and government leaders request a loan from wealthy widow Mrs. Teasdale to keep things afloat. The widow agrees on the condition that Rufus T. Firefly, played by Groucho Marx, take control and run the country. In the musical number that accompanies Firefly's first day in office, Groucho lets the audience know how things will run, singing lyrics such as "if you think this country's bad off now/Just wait till I get through with it."

Firefly insults and angers the Ambassador from the neighboring nation of Sylvania, which leads to war. Chico and Harpo Marx appear in the film as spies for Sylvania, and their trial for spying turns into an absurd musical number.

When the film was first released, the city of Fredonia, New York complained about the possible negative impact the film might have on them. The Marx Brothers replied, in typical Marx fashion, "Change the name of your town, you're hurting our picture".

In the 1960s, Woody Allen, working on Candid Camera, used Freedonia as a practical joke by asking passersby what they thought of the bid for independence for Freedonia. In the 1990s, the satirical magazine Spy pulled a practical joke on several members of the United States Congress. The magazine successfully convinced several Congressional members, such as Corrine Brown, to issue statements condemning the "ethnic cleansing in Freedonia," without their realizing that Freedonia was a fictional country.

This trick is later alluded to an episode of The West Wing when Congressman Matthew Santos, then hoping to become the Democratic nominee for president, shows his anger with modern political debates. The question of the "situation in Freedonia" was asked of a candidate in a Senate debate, and after the candidate said he would look into it, there was no allowed time for the other candidates to challenge him about the existence of the country.

I'm a dirty communist scumbag

Also is it too late to change my choice? If not, I choose Petoria

Dr.C · 07-18-2006, 01:45 PM

I live in the Netherlands and I think it's okay.. good healthcare and education and not too much unemployment. Crime is relatively low, the only problem a lot of Dutch people have is the number of immigrants, especially in big cities. A big plus for the Netherlands is that the weather is a tad better then in Sweden

At the moment staying with my parents in Spain, which is pretty nice as long as you're near the coast. The inland country is very dry and the economy is not as good as at the costa's (or so I've been told).

MrJackMeHoff · 07-18-2006, 01:49 PM

The US sucks balls.. My

Damian_Maxcash · 07-18-2006, 01:55 PM

40 + then New Zealand

If your are under 40 then Australia.

Although I have lived in lots of places, there are lots still to check out.... but so far thats my pick.
