Norway continues to be the best place to live.

I'm surprised the US is even at 13th, hell the quality of life here has been on a pretty slow but steady decline for years. I'm not surprised about all those countries Africa though, they've been the poorest from day one and it's pretty much guaranteed that they'll never get their lives straightened out.
 
We fail, that is not even the happiness one 50% of it is education.
 
We have no pornography.
We have the highest rates of skin cancer.
We have no bongs.
We censor our films, music, arts, writing and even our video games.
Most of our cities only have one newspaper.
Our milk still comes in cartons like this is the middle ages and "The Man" has kept us from finding out about other forms of milk storage.
We have the slowest high-speed internet in the developed world and they want to censor that too.
We have snakes, spiders, giant rats and poisonous jellyfish.
We have ludicrous speed limits and there are police everywhere and they be hatin', patrollin' and tryin' to catch me ridin' dirty.
We have high tax on our smokes but we still have to put up with the goddamn pictures of the dude with the gangrene.
We wont allow gays to marry.
We suck at pretty much everything except sports and we're fucking proud as all hell about it.
We're a bunch of racists.
We don't pronounce words proplee.
Our streets are bumpy.
Our hip-hop is hook-laden dreck.
Our rap isn't much better.
All-i-ga-tors and din-go babies.
We have that "Idol" relaity TV show except our judges are even worse than yours. Yes they are.
And we aren't allowed to own guns so there'll never be a revolution.



But hey, at least we ain't Canada or some shit....:cool:

Talking about quality of life:
Germany's most entertaining set of statistics is traditionally released on the final day of the annual Munich Oktoberfest, when the full extent of the world's largest beer festival becomes clear with the quantity of beer guzzled, the number of oxen and chicken devoured and the intriguing array of items lost.

This year's set of figures contains both good and bad news. The number of visitors during the 16-day festival fell to 5.7 million from 6 million last year due to terrorism fears which prompted police to throw a massive security cordon around the festival site during its second week.

But on a positive note, beer consumption remained unchanged at 6.5 million liters, meaning that this year's visitors were more diligent drinkers, despite the 6 percent rise in the price of a liter to around ?8.60 and the biggest economic downturn since the 1930s.

Sales of non-alcoholic drinks went up by 10 percent, according to the figures provided by the city of Munich's department for labor and economics. The total number of oxen eaten in the 14 giant tents reached an impressive 111, up from 104 last year, while sales of fried chicken fell 3 percent.

The festival's director Gabriele Weish?upl praised visitors for remaining patient despite the heightened security measures, which included increased bag checks and severe traffic restrictions. "Our guests voted with their feet and remained faithful to their Oktoberfest," she said in a statement. "And everyone felt well protected."

The economic downturn does appear to have hit sales of souvenirs such as Bavaria felt hats and, food and tickets for fairground rides, which were all down.

Beer glass theft fell sharply, according to the key indicator of glasses confiscated from inebriated visitors by watchful security guards at the tent exits -- some 145,500 glasses were seized this year, down from 200,000 in 2008.

The Muinch police reported collecting a total of 759 "beer corpses" -- people who had drunk themselves to oblivion. That was up sharply from 2008, when 565 were reported. Three people actually died -- an Australian man was run over by a local train after visiting the festival, a 51-year-old man choked on his own vomit and a reveller from England died when he fell out of his hotel room window while trying to urinate out of it.

People also seem to have kept a closer eye on their belongings this year, with the number of lost items falling to 4,100 from 4,400. The tally included 1,250 items of clothing, 700 identity cards and passports, 420 wallets, 320 mobile phones and 75 cameras.

Among the more unusual items found were a fishing rod, a chess clock, a toaster, a ballet skirt, three crutches, a miniature pinscher and a milk tooth. A total of 18 children were also lost but all of them were reclaimed.

On Monday, the spokeswoman rushed out a statement to add another lost item to the list -- a set of dentures. "After no dentures were handed in in 2008, this continues the tradition of lost Oktoberfest dentures in the statistics of the festival's lost items office," the festival's spokeswoman, Gabriele Papke, said in a statement, with an unmistakeable air of relief.

About that Englishman: What a way to go :) And imagine how his family gets the news:
"Oh no... how did he die?"
"Weeeeell..."

The only kinda cool thing Norway does to the automobile industry is to supply aluminium and petrol.

I can't be bothered to list everything that's shit about Norway, but just don't move here unless you want to sit home all day and get money for it. Sounds cool but it's not.

We also have a hard time getting good beer, and we pay a lot for cars. You don't have ?ystein Sunde, though.

In other news:

Porsche are now detuning their engines for the Boxster and Cayman especially for Norway, just because of the retarded tax system. 255ps -> 211ps. Go figure. Can't wait to move from this shithole. :)

In other news, we make so much money in Norway, we're still not paying that much for cars. Compared to the average wage, we have the second cheapest gas in Europe.

Perfect? Nah. No country's perfect. Good? Yeah.

Nah, only joking. From what I can tell, you Aussies are better off than us.
 
Aww, come on... Norway can be nice even if it's cold. Nomix should know this, he lives in a part of the country that's seasons consists of three winters and one with bad skiing conditions...

My only complaint with Norway as it is, is that the current administration is sending way too much money abroad to despots in the thrid world, and spends way too little on higher education and research. I think it's more important to invest money in our future rather than finance luxury palacess, cars, planes, yatches for dictators in coutries where their population is starving.

We're very patriotic, and we live by the creed of Gro Harlem Brundtland (if you don't know who that is, shame on you, I can name pretty much every british PM after the war and most US presidents, SHAME! :p) who said "det er typisk norsk ? v?re god", or, in English, "it's Norwegian to be good". We're so patriotic that it's silly. And we're still fundamentally hospitable. Even if we are turning against immigration.

We are also the world champions of complaining. We're pretty good with winter sports, we have the Solberg brothers and EINAR GERHARDSEN! (To make it easy for you, he was our Clement Attlee, though, he had power for twenty years, not just eight).
