How fair is that though? I would imagine that a majority of individuals in many countries around the world would like to like in the US, China, Japan, or Europe if they could. Is 73% markedly higher than we would see in India, Iran, Pakistan, or Nigeria?
- true_religion 5y agoEveryone wants to come to the US in their youth, then they become 30ish and desperately want to move back “home” to raise their kids in peace. There is a cycle of wanting economic benefit, then finding that it’s too hard to actually spend it in the US political climate.

- true_religion 5y agoThe last time my country was at war September 1900. We didn't even participate in the World Wars since by the time we made the long exodus to the European front the war was over. So our track record is pretty good, compared to the US who hasn't seen a single decade in its existence without being at war with someone. However, when I said 'peace' I meant in the interpersonal sense. The US is nice, but there's something to be said about living in a homogenous environment identical to that of your youth.
