Norway had held top spot for six years but was edged into second place by Iceland this year because of new life expectancy estimates and updated figures for gross domestic product, or GDP, the report said.

- Still the best thing is beeing Norwegian in Sweden :)

if you say .... :1orglaugh

yupppp.... stupid comment .... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Pretty much what I was thinking. Feel the same way about rankings of states. Please keep CA at the bottom of the list.

The USA didn't make it on the top 10 places to live list.

Imagine that.

But at least we are still the greatest country in the world!!!!
++++++++++++

Please tell it to the millions of illegal aliens who keep breaking into our country. Tell them to get on a raft and go to Iceland.

:flagface:flagface:flagface

Is insecurity a common problem? :1orglaugh

So they can or can't find Iceland on a map?

"that again puts AIDS-afflicted sub-Saharan African states at the bottom."

Atleast africa is good for something. I mean someone has to live a shitty life for us to live good lives right. God bless africa

I was counting the numbers of Nobel Peace Prize winners and all the "awards" presented to date and never saw one brown ass :winkwink:

Amazing how an annual set of statistics can cause so much flag waving - only my :2 cents:, but could not give a damn and sure would not want to live in the top 20 countries.

Only if they have a nobel prize ....

Yes, yes it does.

Yah whatever.
If it's the greatest country in the world how come it didn't make it to the top ten list.
The United States has turned into a communist state if you care to admit it or not.
It's a place that invades other countries without any proof, takes away so called "prisons of war" and holds them without any proof or time line as to when they will be charged.
The government of the United States can also listen on your phone conversation without asking for a judge to sign a warrant and can classify you as a terrorist at anytime to lock you away indefinitely. Who does this sound like ? Would the USSR sound similar ?

Actually very close and very real.
You think you have rights ? Bull.
Your rights can be taken away just cause you can be labeled a "terrorist" :thumbsup

can anyone find the link to the actual list?

i hate that a "news" article wouldn't publish a link to the source material.

Good...
Like we want anymore foriegn fuckwads in the USA at this point.

be proud - the usa is still the FIRST capitalist dictatorship in the world !!

why ... you want to cast a doubt .... :1orglaugh

@ Jesus H Christ, learn history, and you will see: the USA was perfect in copying all faults from good old Europe :(

right jesus h christ, the same as the USA has incorporated german speaking scientist and technicians, who gained nobel prices or made significant discoveries, regardless of their political statement ... at least they had to learn some English over there ....

You say Austrian speaking English as if America invented the language :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

And if his sponsor offered it i'm sure he would chose to earn in euros. :thumbsup

I'm not trying to earn US$ - I'm trying to earn hard EUROS - btw, my dryer needs a clean up too ;)

If Iceland were as close to them as the USA and they let most of them sneak in like we do AND give them jobs... you can bet your ass they would be going to Iceland. :2 cents:

You're not very good at picking up my sarcasm are you?

HINT: I am an expat. :thumbsup

I only go back to the USA when I HAVE to do business or visit family. It's rare to catch me "hanging out" there. Max I'm there 2 - 3 months a year, and that is being generous.

us is good for the rich but for the average joe its not a good place to live....you guys have children without healthcare....seriously
