Ok thanks so you have to live in a shithole in the middle of nowhere to be safe, got it. It sounds more and more appealing. Apparently my life expectancy would drop by at least 2 years and my children would have 85% (!) more chance to die in infancy. Not even worth mentioning that i'd probably have less free time overall to perma-camp lodizal [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
You guys should really wake up and stop behaving like a bunch of bullying toddlers "hurr im the best the rest if y'all are shitstains durr". At least i find comfort in knowing that you are not all thinking this way.. Just like muslims. Or christians. Or elfsim players. All that reminded me of https://youtu.be/VMqcLUqYqrs |
The foundation of your post isn't wrong; quality of life in the US is pretty much second rate compared to many parts of Europe. And that vid is one of my favorites.
But "having to live in the middle of nowhere to be safe" isn't how it works here. You just have to earn enough money not to live among the poor or among our parallel societies. There are plenty of nicer areas in all our cities.
I'm a huge admirer of Europe, I think you do so many things better than we do. That's why multiculturalism makes me cringe... I don't want to see you throw it away.
Pretty much this attitude is what is wrong here:

Well, America is the best and it is because of immigration, not despite it. Over half of Ph.D.s from US institutions go to "foreigners". Because they leave their shitholes to come here for the opportunity of a better life. Those who succeed do so because they share the principal component of American tradition: Individual Responsibility. The problem with urban areas is that many people detest the idea of individual responsibility and peddle the perversion of collective responsibility.
