@inferiorego: Europe has higher taxes than America and it is harder to find a job in Europe than in America. However, otherwise they have free healthcare and other free stuff so yeah. %Pr
@cracks: my buddies in Denmark pay roughly 50% on their taxes, but their lives just seem so relaxing. The government pays for college, living expenses during that time, health care and they work a crap job 10-20 hours a week for "fun money." They are constantly traveling too. I'm incredibly jealous.
@inferiorego: True. But overall prices of "things" in general are higher in Europe than in America. Furthermore, it is easier to find a job in America than in Europe. %Pr
@cracks: I don't know about that last statement. All my buddies out in Europe have jobs, and many of my friends here (all with college degrees) can't even flip burgers. It may just be the midwest though.
@inferiorego: Where in the Midwest are you from, if I may ask? If you don't want to answer then it is okay. Also, you don't need a college degree to flip burgers, but eventually you might since the bachelor's degree is the new high school diploma.
@cracks: Chicagoland. I'm just saying, they all have college degrees and can't even get a job flipping burgers. It's a whole lot worse in Detroit though. I had a buddy move back to Chi when unemployment hit 30%
@inferiorego: I am curious. Can college degrees help you get jobs like flipping burgers? Can it help you in competition with the people who only have high school diplomas?

@inferiorego: True. However, the employer would probably no think highly of you if you lower your "standards" ( I don't agree with the term) and get a job that has nothing to do with your field of concentration in college. %Pr
@cracks: That's what most of us did. I mean, you're talking to a guy with a degree in Critical Analysis of film and Screenwriting who teaches college English.
Puerto Rico (upper class). I was there last spring, the "college" kids literally do NOTHING but smoke blunts and drink beer and drive around to beaches and islands. It was a ridiculously relaxed, carefree area.
@cracks: Haha yeah it was mind blowing that they didn't have a care in the world. Just driving around in their parents' bmw's and drinking and smoking and partying. After like a week of it my body was completely drained.
I've only lived in Canada my entire life, and so, haven't lived in another country, but if this nation had the least stressful lifestyle, I would be extremely surprised.

why? i live in toronto and as much as stressful things happens in many aspects of our lives, it is essentially up to us to let it bothers us or not, remember an action will create an reaction, you must choose that reaction, life as it seems stressful it is challenging and entertaining as long as you have people to share it with

Okay. Wouldn't that mean that every country in the world is equally as stressful, because the amount of "stress" relative to each person is subjective and down to their own decisions? I'm a little confused by your post.
I was just saying in my first post that I don't think Canada, if you looked at the nation as a whole, would have the least stressful lifestyle. I mean, nations share a lot of it's problems common with eachother......it's not like Canada is much different, in my opinion.
In Singapore, if you spit on the ground, you will get whipped and tortured. That is not a joke. There are other very strict laws there. Have fun. LOL. %Pr

@King Saturn: Finland and maybe Sweden are not bad. Free healthcare, free education, only problem is in Europe it is harder to get a job, than in America. Furthermore, taxes in europe are higher than in america. %Pr

that was exactly what i meant, it doesn't matter where you go b/c where ever you go you are taking your same mental attitude as well as same problems with you, having employment, recession, relationship with personal and family issue is still gonna be present in any location altho it is possible to for the new location create an immediate dstraction from regular life issues but soon the reality will kick in
