The BEST country in the world to live in according to Michael Moore
 

Norway
:thumbsup

norway fucking rules .. but i'd take denmark, just barely though

Australia by far. Sydney, not Melboring of course.

Police officers don't carry guns there! :)

Norway is great in very many aspects, but taxation is VERY high, also porn legislation has been strict ( that's why we moved out 10 years ago ).
But quality of life is good, it's all from the oil though.

you get what you pay for though.

i spent a night in jail in norway, and they gave me money for the time i was in

Just to illustrate this... My friend's mother works as a cleaner out in one of the oil-platforms. She works 14 days, then a month off, cycle goes like that all year.
She makes roughly the equivalent of 110,000 USD a year with the current dollar rate.

It isn't just Michael Moore who says that.

That part of the world ranks at the top of all the best places to live listings. Makes me want to visit there to see for myself.

never been there, but shure worth to visit at least

I'm willing to donate $10 to send him there.

I have to agree, Sydney has been good 2 me! :thumbsup

Too damn chilly for me.

True, Scandinavia is good, Norway is the richest. But also very very expensive to live in. Sweden is a little better but we have more problems.

The Human Development Index agrees.

to fucking cold

:helpme

Denmark is fucking amazing. The women are stunning and the street art is fantastic.

its fucking freezing over there

It's biased and one sided.

I know Norwegians, they 'd love to emigrate to Sydney, Australia or Miami, Florida.

The climate in Scandinavia sucks big time.

You get paid more but food prices are the highest in the world and it's small compensation for such bad weather.

I like Nordic girls though. HOTTTTTTTTTTTTT like fire.

More like someone else gets what you pay for. You never see the taxation back, because the fact is most of gets wasted on scumbags, or lost in an inefficient and ineffective system. I support socialist policies to a degree, but certainly not to the degree the Scandinavian countries pursue it. Australia has only just started to move away from ridiculously high income taxes, to a low spending Government and it's a breath of fresh air. No longer do those who actually have ambition and work hard (and I don't mean just business people, but also those who work OT or have second jobs) get punished for their efforts. In the end it's a much better system for all if you ask me.

LOL denmark is a fucking dump...

cold as fuck and they have some of the higest taxes in the world not to mention a consumer VAT of 25% on EVERYTHING - oh and if you want a new car you pay the govement 180% in VAT/Tax ...

i already absolutely hate the weather where i live now, so dont expect me to go more up north to even shittier weather.... i would never move to scandinavia just for that sole reason

You teasing again? :winkwink:

One thing you are assured of is that this thread will be populated by the Mike Moore Hate Squad and another mob proclaiming how they know all about Norway, how crappy it is and why everywhere else is better :winkwink::1orglaugh

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<< see the paradise...

Don&#180;t get angry with me people from Norway, but I would die of sadness living in countries like that. You already now, for latin people too much rules are a jail for a soul! :)

dude, over there the sun rises at 2:45 and the sunset is at 3:01, and you have all these 16 minutes to enjoy your great quality of life - indoors of course because if you go out your willy freezes and then you need a blowtorch to bring it back to life

I've been to Norway, its a nice, but a little cold, place. Great if you're into natural blondes.

True. We were paying about $15 for a pint of beer.

Norway is good, actully, most scandinavian countries are good.
Except FINLAND!

sydneeyyyy

Norway truely is one of the nicest countries I've ever visited.

Maybe Norway is great, but why would you care that Michael Moore said it? He's a fat piece of shit.

FUCK Michael Moore!!!

EOM

send us the hot women

they can keep the rest

:1orglaugh

Howmuch i know in Norway they have somuch power plants they even heat their roads.

true, but too much of that "latin soul/no rules" and you got 3rd world corruption and exploitation.. and not much happiness either

I would love to visit Norway.

I prefer Sweden over Norway, less tax, much lower consumer prices (everything) and we are in the EU (both good and bad) and also our view on porn is very liberal

Norway tops "Best Places to Live" lists all the time -- by people who undoubtedly don't live there.

Take a look at a map, people, it's WAY north which means:
1) It's damn cold half the year
2) It's damn dark half of the year

So if you don't mind extreme, long, cold winters with almost no sunlight, be my guest... otherwise, these so-called lists should take things into account like the natural human need for sunshine once in awhile and not freezing your ass of whenever you step outside.

:thumbsup

My kind of place :pimp!

as long as your on the coast, norway's not nearly as cold as i'm sure some of you image .. there's some gulf stream that keeps it warm .. the climate where i was is basically the same as here (vancouver)

Norway totally rules. But so do other Scandinavian countries. Living standards are high and social differences are not as apparent as in the rest of the world. The corruption of police and other institutions is at its lowest in the world and if it wasn't for damn Poles who infested it, it would have been near ideal.

today's forecast

kristiansand, no

I'm in for $100...be he has to stay.

I have been saying norway is the best fucking country for ages, but none of my friends listen to me.

The girls are FUCKING FIT the streets are clean, the place looks nice and its got an all round NICE feel to it!

they paid you for the time you spent in jail lol :pimp

Funny I always thought I would say Norway too - I was there once, Norway and Denmark are the places I liked in Europe the most, and i have been in something like 20 different countries so far ..

It's not about taxes it's about relaxed people - you don't have to face 150 idiots every day.
