Some surprises here.


The last time I checked the list was in 2006. The USA has gone from #8 to #3, which is very good IMO. Also, Australia wasn't even on the list at all, but they're #2, which is also very good news.

Note that most of the European countries here are outside the Eurozone, which is experiencing an economic tragedy right now.

Japan and Norway are the only countries that are still the same position. Sweden has actually dropped from #2 to #8. The UK was also #5 in 2006, but they've dropped off the list completely now. Wonder what that's all about.


EDIT: According to the list Wreckingballbob posted, Canada is #11. You guys just BARELY missed it. The UK is #26.....That's a pretty big leap from #5 when I last checked it. Probably because of the EU's economic meltdown.

this has not changed my mind in where i am moving

Excuse me, But WHERE IS CANADA?
There's no way Canada didnt make the list.

1/3 females in Canada get raped every year.

Sweden is the eighth most livable country in the world. Makes me want to move there sooner. ^.^

GO IRELAND!

They were #2 when I checked in 2006. I must've meant Norway. I always get those two mixed up.

How nice not to see mine there, yet I am not suprised ^.^;

I should probably make a topic about the Top 10 Least Livable countries, but when I checked in 06, they were all in Africa......

Also low crime rate.

I knew it, there were so many Americans here whining about living in "hell" and wanting to move out even though they don't know what it's like everywhere else and have no idea of what it feels like to live in a third world country.
Hopefully this will teach them to appreciate what you have instead of spitting on it.

of course beany is at the top

This.I wouldn't have the experience of living in a third world country myself and yes I do complain about living in Ireland because of reasons but I still think about those less fortunate.

I agree with you, but I have to ask this:


Is it just me, or do you find some way to put down America in every single post? Maybe I'm just being patrio-sensitive, but I don't know.

n-no
Only thing I have against America is the ****ed up sports culture.

The Netherlands, NR4? I'm pretty suprised...

America isn't even equal in most of their rights.

New Zealand and Canada are very free countries, attaining more rights than America. U.K has free healthcare. India has more rights than America, too, based on what they believe.

huh. Italy wasn't on the list. Not that i could permanently live there anyways. :/

They base the list on technology instand of safety, unemployment rate, salary etc.

That's debatable. I mean, every person has a different definition of "rights" and what they stand for. Go figure, I guess.

....Can you read?


I think you better click on it and check it again. It clearly talks about health care, job markets and education systems in each country.


Quote: Samius

Finland was chosen to be the best country in the world in 2010.

Nowhere to be found in the list of the top 10 most livable countries 2014.

Seems legit, this list.

Source? Because Norway's always been on top for as long as I can remember.

Woah, what? I don't think that's because of free health care, I've never had to wait months for anything (I've had surgery twice plus bandages and minor ****, almost all of them because of football injuries).
I had a classmate who had tonsils removed and it only took him a few weeks since they found out.

This isn't about free health care, it's your system that's not working if what you say is true.

I've considered just about all of those countries when it comes to moving.

I live in number three!

Japan is somehow more livable than the US? Seems legit.

that's fox news though.

like every other news station, they overexaggerate everything and do nothing but politics no one cares about. this is more of a debating show than news.

Pretty much this, and keep in mind this was 2010.


I'm sorry, but Canada does not win. That's just not how it works.
