Only freedom, a chance to be anything you would like to be and more opportunity anywhere else in the world can give.

You have to earn the "American dream". It's not given on a silver-platter. But at least you can get there with Protestant work ethic having been the main driving factor.

This point isn't valid, because most of Canada (especially in the north) gets very cold and inhospitable in the winters, so there will of course be a lack of population there.

Did you ever hear about the leading industrialized nations, the Group of Eight? Well, three of them are European countries. Sure they are members of the group because their folks are lazy.

These threads are simply stupid and leading nowhere.

There's almost 150 million people in Russia. So that throws out your theory, Before you try to say it's because you're part of the new world. Mexico has 106 Million people.

All of Europe has a GDP of 14,430 compared to 13,743 GDP of the US. Broken down that comes to 45,563 for Americans and 29,433.40 for Europeans. I have a low paying job but I still make more than the average European!

If people vote with their feet then the US, Canada, and Australia must be the best to live in because that's where most immigrants move to.

I don't like the materialism aspect of the US but I do think we have the best cost of living of any high income country. Most Americans can afford their own house and a private car even without a college degree. The high cost of living in Europe is probably the main reason their birthrate has fallen off the map (it take a long time to have the money needed for children)
