Which developed nation has the the worst quality of life for the average person?

The worst parts of Paris are equal or worse than any hood in America ...they just do a better job of hiding it in France


But yea the USA struggles with education, health care, child care, n viol my crime ...these things should be much better than they are but been bad for years now

My roommate who lives outside of Paris said north of monmarte is a bit sketchy. Then again, I'm from vancouver, it's clean over here.
 
 
how is the usa that bad? 

Wouldn't the average person in the US fall somewhere near the middle class and not have been in prison?

The problem with the way we define the middle class is that rich people and poor people include themselves in it, for various reasons. It is much smaller than we think.

As far as worst developed nation, Murica's gonna have to take this L. While our spending power and income level is higher than most developed nations, the amount of services we get in return ridiculously low. We are the most overworked employees, the sickest people, and the least covered socially. Our higher education system is unaffordable for most of the population, and the K12 level is nothing to brag about. The laws are pretty much written for and by the moneyed class, so good luck righting a wrong done onto you if your pockets are shallow. Gotta walk on the narrow path always, because one misstep can literally ruin your life in this country.
 
Russia by far:

Corrupt Governtment
Discrimination against women:
Domestic abuse is not illegal
Salary way out of whack
Limited freedoms
State-ran everything
Rampant racism
Deplorable infrastructure
Stray pack of dogs everyone
High poverty
Crime on every level of society
Always heard about the dogs ...it's really like that in Russia? Like gangs of dogs just running the street like it's all good ? :lol:

One thing USA is good at is taking care of the dogs on all levels ...barely see any strays in the worst parts of my city :pimp:

Actually saw a documentary about packs of dogs taking Moscow's subway and everything. That blew my mind. Co-sign to people taking care of dogs better than other humans.
 
When I found out bout the language struggles in Belgium t got me thinking ...why not just make English the official language of the govt ? I know they don't wanna pick French or Dutch cuz that's gon piss one side off but go with a 3rd party language which in sure alotta of the politicians speak at least a lil bit anyway ...that's what they do in alotta countries
That would be the best solution for everyone but I doubt it'll ever happen. If we can't even make our main native language a mandatory class in the other half of the country we're definitely not getting all parties to use a third party language unfortunately. I think the public would support that. English is much easier to learn than Dutch or French.
It would be odd hearing our politicians communicate in English but it sure beats half of our parliament using translators to understand eachother :lol:

Sorry but this is just plain wrong (I lived in both countries). There are times I felt safer, freer than in the US. But again, what part of the US?

The country is huge and disparate plus there are numerous autonomous regions with indigenous populations as well.
 
ITT: No one will agree on the worst developed nation cause they all feel their personal anecdotes invalidate any of the bad commonly held claims against said country.

To an extent.

In Russia's case in particular, Id take personal anecdotes to commonly held claims considering the propaganda war that's been going on back and forth since anyone can remember. Every foreigner that I've talked to who lived in Russia have nothing but good things to say. And for good reason as foreigners (esp. westerners) have historically been treated better than even the Russians themselves.

But it goes both ways too as I've been debunking and dispelling all the commonly held myths about the US to the Russians for years lol

South America is all developing countries.  All my european friends are just laughing at this country today.  Only Europeans maybe close to being as dumb as Americans are the Brits
 
Damn. So Americans are dumb now? Europe thinks they're way above us intellectually? It's been a trend on nt for a couple years now but they do like to crap on America. I know our education system needs major changes but my school district was good.

Europe is laughing at us because of our politics.

We're laughing at them because they can barely survive without Germany/France.
 
US definitly closer from being the worst than from being the best.

Although i don't think it's the worst.

FTFY.
 
So many of my friends and people I went to college with have said they're moving out this country but it'll probably be less than a handful of them that are actually going to do it.  Only like around 3 of them have already taken action towards it.

All words, no action.

No surprise there.
