Of course you don't want an opinion. Plenty of wide open spaces here in Scotland, but I'm not going to bother going to the trouble of getting street view links. I'm just satisfied knowing I live in a breathtakingly gorgeous country while you live in boring suburb.

Still less than the US. The amount of c*ap food in US supermarkets is shocking. Everything is processed and full of fat and HFCS. Cheese is dumped on everything.

^ No wonder he doesn't want your opinion. Despite his polite demeanor you consistently take the opportunity to promote your great lifestyle and denigrate his.

The whole weather is pretty bad thing is overplayed.. I like the variety actually - it is nice to experience snow and cold for a few months, followed by the exhilaration of a spring thaw and pleasant weather to a hot and sticky summer. Fall is the most beautiful season of the year - pleasant weather and changing of the colours.. Its all very refreshing and rejuvenating actually.
it is cold for 4 months, but when it is.. its pretty extreme, as in, put-your-life-on-hold extreme. prefer the sort of weather we get in Southern France or Southern California. it rarely gets colder than 10C and rarely warmers than 25C. that is just about perfect and there is no place in Canada that offers that kind of weather. though spring is nice, i still don't like snow or anything below 5C which comes with it.

So i'll just assume that Europe doesn't have the wide open spaces like what we have in the United States.

Google Pannonian Basin. That would be a piece of land comparable to the flyover states... *yawn*

Last time I checked Fargo was a mass of yellow fields not shops.
