I beleive there was a point in time when we were the most technologically advanced, but every country hs progressed so well. In the USA, there are a lot commercial business and such, like McDonalds every ten minutes away from a house, and that is exagerating on a tad.
Now, there are some sights to see, but I see some pictures you all post in 'Snapshots of your life' and pine to go there. I mean yes, here there are: The Statue of Liberty, Grand Canyon and The Rocky Mountains, but I think there is so much more, especially in Europe. I would say for sight seeing, that USA can be far down the list, or maybe its the fact that I have seen these sights more than once and am tired of them.
Economy varries everywhere, which I know is important for living conditions. But I would not mind switching to another type of currency, and think I could adapt. Weather is another factor for me, like in some parts of Ireland where I was this summer, were beautiful all the time. But in Chicago, we had rain, heat (not so bad this summer...so far), a rough winter.
But all in all I would love to move, maybe even in a heartbeat, the only rough thing is leaving your family. But I have a lot reason to leave, and could definatley see myself, settling down in the city of Parm, Italy.
All in all, my answer is an underlined NO, American is not the greatest nation.
That just boggles my mind.
Seriously. That someone could say without a shadow of a doubt that they would be more than happy to pick up and move out of the United States.
I can't imagine doing that without good reason. And you'd have to drag my ass out of here even then.
Tired of seeing things like the Grand Canyon? Wow!
I can see maybe living in another country for a while just for the experience but to WANT to move out because of a "grass is greener" feeling? I don't get that.
It actually makes me rather sad to know that there are people out there that don't want to live here. (I mean Americans, not those who live elsewhere already).
