A recent UN report just said that the UK and US are the worst places in the Westen world to grow up. I think that its fucking disgraceful that the world's richest and fifth richest countries could be so low. My faith in my country has been badly shaken and my political beliefs are ready now to tumble towards the left.
Do this report suprise you guys?
Why do you think we are doing so bad? The economy? Cultural differences? Bad governence? Bad parenting?
This report has really annoyied me that we're doing so badly but in the end I know I shouldn't be suprised by it. The Neatherlands was the best place to live by the way followed by Sweden.

You can move here, BUT:

  • Anything you need to live here can be summarized with a single word: expensive.
  • You need to get a good job. Here the more you work (and not the more money you make), the more tax you have to pay. This can cause you to work so hard it actually kills you.
  • You don't have any freedom of speech here.
  • You need to understand the Dutch language. Thoroughly. Currently, my English (which isn't my mother tongue) is better than my Dutch.

This just proves there's always two sides to every story. The side that the media wants you to see and believe, and the true side that someone who lives there, like Dirk, can tell you.

You make it sound like the UN and the BBC are trying to trick us all. And Dutch children don't really have to bother with any of the things Dirk listed.

Point is I'm not an adult. Oh, and I forgot another point: your freedom of speech is so low here that if you admit being a communist, some teachers might Smurf! with your grades.

I'm pretty sure the study is bias because America can be a great place to be raised but it also be horrible. It all depends on where you live.

And what class you're born into. If you're upperclass, the Western world is great, if you're WC it sucks.

Yeah, America is probably the most extreme when it comes to class and life in the western world.

Well, Canada in my opinion is the best place to live in the western world. Divers peoples, beautiful landscape, lots of opportunities very little racism (compared to some of the other major western powers) and hey...we haven’t gotten attacked yet so…. That must be a pulse, (but don’t know how long that will last with Steven harpers in power)

Soooooooo....

:lol: GO CANADA :lol:

You ever been to Quebec my friend? Sure Montreal is okay but the furthur out into the country you get the more racist towards English people. The only reason Canada isn't the best place to live is because we're beside the US...

and I agree:

GO CANADA!!!
