  1. Quality of life, lower. Western Europe is better. Like, objectively better, as shown in quality of life research and more. We're happier and have higher standards of life here and that's a stone cold fact. Sorry to burst you bubble, but it's true

  2. I'm pretty sure he cherry picked the worst weight stats from the EU and several other things too. Also he mentioned plenty of things that the US does better than Europe, so don't get your knickers in a twist.

  3. Fun fact: even after the taxes and usually lower income (US income is huge), most EU countries' citizens are richer than Americans at the end of the day. In income stats the US is the highest, but in wealth stats (as in how much money you keep after the bills. How much you own) the US is one of the lowest in the western world. This could be because of very high bills in the US but also due to something as simple as Americans liking to spend all their money.

  4. America is the greatest country in the world! has lower quality of life than western Europe, much less working rights, a less healthy population, no proper social security and a ridiculous amount of shootings and deaths in cities like Detroit and Chicago

  5. At this point, yes.... because the 2nd amendment gave guns to the criminals and it'd be too difficult to take them back again...

  6. We have more and better rights than you under the European Convention of Human Rights and more (privacy much better protected, right to a fair trial much better protected, no "exceptions" to the right to live as there is in America, and many other things). We don't have a 2nd amendment but all across Europe you can buy guns, the only difference is that you need a licence (which you get if you're 18+, mentally stable and acquire some experience in a shooting range, or if you study to become a hunter). Most farmers have rifles here too, for example, but guns aren't popular amongst people who don;t need them for anything. Your income tax rate is low (and income itself high), but in terms of wealth you stand low compared to other western countries. So a lot of the western world is richer anyway at the end of the day (high bills in America?). I live in a European country with privatised health care, so there's that. And a socialised health care system isn't by definition slow. That the one in Canada has that particular problem doesn't mean elsewhere in the world this problem isn't fixed. But I don't know enough about the waiting times to actually compare them with the US. And you ARE flooded by refugees. More than Europe, in fact. 11 million illegals and counting, with the government being clueless on where they are and are incompetent in stopping them from coming (best "solution" yet, build a wall and have Mexico pay lol). That on a population of 300 million. In the EU, 2.5 million refugees came on a population of 500 million, and ALL of those have given finger prints and have been photographed upon arrival so they're in our system. Unlike the US, we know who they are and also where they live (we obviously provided that for them so we'd know). Moreover, the refugee stream from the ME has already been stopped by the EU with the Turkey deal. The EU stopped it within months, the US... like 20 years and counting lol

  7. Hmm, I wonder who lead the EU... oh wait, it's the bloody member states themselves, smartass. Member states bully themselves by voting for laws that are bad to themselves or by forming demands that annoy themselves? Seriously dude...
