Ok, take Spain. Quality of life there is just substantially better than pretty much all of the US.

    Can you name a country who hasn't done bad things?

      Can you name another country that's done bad things to other countries for every year of its existence aside from a decade?

        Well, that was the British Empire, but I'll give it to you... fair enough.
        _-david-_ 4y ago
        The UK has continued doing bad things. So has almost every country.

        The USSR. (I know, doesn't exist anymore) but I can't think of a single year of its existence in which it wasn't occupying, invading or repressing some subject foreign nationality or population in some way, usually many of them simultaneously.

  I see you've never even seen the population of immigrants in Spain.

In what way? Do people live on huge ranches / estates, walk through large redwood trees, ski down a glacier, watch professional football/hockey/basketball live? Can they hunt, fish, shoot or run into hollywood celebrities? Can they even buy a house or do they have to settle for an apartment? Quality of live might be great in Barcelona if you like to drink and eat and want to work less. But Spain is so small comoared to the US. The US has so much more variety.. deserts, tundra, forests, palm trees, rocky mountains, cities..

What... world do you live in that Europeans* can't do all of that except the last? > Can they even buy a house or do they have to settle for an apartment? Of course... wtf? lol 76% of people own their homes in Spain. Home ownership in the US is only 65%... * Spanish people can go anywhere in the EU with just an ID, no passport needed, just like in the US.

    Spain is much smaller than Europe and houses are much smaller and salaries are smaller and the political divide is much worse in Spain. Two different states want out and after a vote they arrested the head of state for those regions. The legacy of Franco..

      Did you check your numbers this time or are you still just making things up? I'm going to trust you know nothing about the politics of Spain and ignore that comment. > Two different states want out and after a vote they arrested the head of state for those regions. The legacy of Franco.. You must be trolling. You literally had a civil war for the same exact reason... Unfortunately, no state allows any subset of itself to secede.
