Ofcourse it's acceptable when the member countries accepted the conditions themselves when they joined the union.

These are not problems. The only "problem" with health care is probably the hygiene of some places. There are no tax problems. Canada is not completely capitalist and I don't think you seem to understand that.

Your taxes are extremely high to pay for healthcare...which has problems...ie long waiting lists and doctors that move out of the country to practice medicine.

So do all Scandinavion countries. Social security is very good, but the taxes are very high in order to support the system. There is no such thing as a free lunch in this.

Yes I know....but Canada's health care is having some problems right now that I believe are not occuring in the Scandinavian countries....or are they?

[QUOTE="videogamer456"]That is a tough one...I am torn between Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Afghanistan.DoctorFunk

Saudi Arabia is actually a sweet place to live in, if you're Saudi.

Trust me, I've met so many Saudis recently.

actually it has a strict sharia law. if you steal they chop of your hand. they also persecute Christians and other non-moslems

THe USA is the greatest. it has the best military and the best ideals. it is a mix of people. however it loses points for legalizing abortion. but so do most countries. I know one country that won't legalize it - Vatican City .

That's why it isnt in use yet.....It proves that the EU doesnt dictate as much as you say.....Personally I think that Brussels should have a little more power but blah...

America seems to have a disproportionate amount of crime and social problems. Countries like Sweden, Denmark, Japan and the Netherlands have far less.

The crime is generally contained in specific areas....it's not widespread and all countries have crime.

well if i ever get shot and or sick - which never happens

 

i know where i DONt wanna be

 

the US aint the best country for livin, as in staying alive or quality of life. i find it to be a dirty stinky place that makes a conscious to make sure everyone is armed, and then when they inevitably get shot, they have to pay $200,000 for a new liver. not to mention the constant fear of terrorism and the crime. yikes.

BobSacamento

that's odd because nobody i know has gotten shot, nor owns a firearm. And there is not a constant fear of terrorsim or crime, just a few extra security measures at the airport, it isnt intrusive into our lives at all. 

Im not going to say whats best... but i would like to live in the US rather than anywhere else.
