Post by: Ripsnort on July 10, 2003, 08:31:18 AM

They've gone from #1, to #3, to #8 in the last 3 years as "Most desireable country to live in".  I'll try to find this years results on the web, just heard this report on the radio coming into work today.

The top 10 are all so close it doesn't make much difference.  I heard that Canada dropped because of a chance in the way some economic indictaors were calculated or something...

My brother keeps telling me how much he detests america and would rather live in canada.  I keep telling him "its 150 miles that-a-way and a tank of gas" and to "get the hell going".  He's still here however, taking advantage of this country while badmouthing its flag, people and history like so many other really stupid people........

As for me, canada is nothing more than a vast timber reserve sparsely populated with a few timid people, eskimos and a few islamic terrorists.  The fact they voluntarilly disarmed says alot about the average canadian.  Hell, Iraq probably has a more potent military today.  Just give us the excuse I say.  WMDs in canada?

I like nothing better than laughing at more bone-headed, uncultured, ugly americans (why are all of you so fat??) as they try to decpher a roadsign in French or ask whether the prices on the menu are in US dollars or not....

Get the overall ranking of any country... HERE (http://hdr.undp.org/reports/global/2002/en/indicator/index.html)

BTW Norway was #1... I guess weather has nothing to do with it.
