1) What country do you live in?
2) What do you like about living there?
3) What don’t you like about living there?
4) Where would you rather live (or what is your second choice)?
I’ll start:
I live in Canada.
I like the unrealized opportunity it presents. I like the values that are praised here – modesty, integrity, loyalty – and our idealistic policies. I like how we can maintain a public healthcare system with relatively low taxes. The value of family over wealth. Our attitude with the rest of the world.
I don’t like the cost of realizing that opportunity. The education system, while excellent, is extremely costly. The costs of making it big. This lends an image of not the best country to realize a dream. Unless your dream is family-oriented. Our image of insignificance, due to our small population.
Canada would be my first choice (I’ve only traveled to the US, so maybe I don’t know better yet). I’d like to visit New Zealand for the scenery, might be a nice place to retire. European countries for this history, although I’m not sure about living there for economic reasons.
Yours?
Yeah, i guess asking this on the American board isn’t asking for variety lol
Oh, pardon me bmovie…
I live in Fantasy Land
I like how we can maintain a public healthcare system with relatively low taxes.
I don’t like how people can insult my intelligence about a place I live, work and prosper in.
If I had a choice, I’d live in….Canada. Since according to you it is so much like Fantasy Land anyway 
1. USA
2. I like all the food and how people come to together were you live and everyone can just be good friends.
3. Wars, and some very mean people.

I live in the good ol’ USA. I love the diversity here. You can literally go anywhere and see people of all different races and backgrounds. I like the amount of opportunity in this country, and the reality that you can be anything you want to be if you try hard enough.
I dislike the way people in this country behave towards those who are different than them. I wish people weren’t so judgmental, stereotypical and racist.
This would be my first choice to live, but I’ve always wanted to visit Italy, Spain and Paris. Too expensive right now, but maybe one day…

CANADA’S HEALTH CARE SYSTEM — POOR VALUE FOR YOUR TAX DOLLARS …
http://www.ncpa.org/sub/dpd/index.php?Article_ID=16747
Canada’s taxpayers are not receiving the same sort of value that their counterparts in other nations are when it comes to universally accessible health care insurance, says Nadeem Esmail, of the Fraser Institute.
For example:
Canada has the third most-expensive universal access health insurance system; only Iceland and Switzerland spend more as a percentage of gross domestic product (GDP) on their universal access health insurance systems than Canada did.
In 2007, waiting lists for access to health care in Canada reached a new all-time high of 18.3 weeks from a general practitioner referral to treatment by a specialist; this wait time is 54 percent longer than the overall wait time of 11.9 weeks back in 1997.
The number of Canadians without a regular physician is estimated to be around 5 million.
The journal "Health Affairs" recently published a study of six universal access nations, which found:
Canadians were more likely to experience waiting times of more than six months for elective surgery than Australians, German, the Dutch, and New Zealanders, but slightly less likely than patients in the United Kingdom.
Canadians were least likely to wait less than one month for elective surgery.
Canadians were the most likely to wait six days or longer to see a doctor when ill, and were least likely to receive an appointment the same day or the next day.
Access to medical technologies is also relatively poor in Canada:
Canada ranked 13th of 24 nations in terms of MRI machines per million population.
Canada ranked 18th of 24 nations for CT scanners per million population, 7th of 17 for mammographs per million population, and tied for second to last among 20 nations for lithotripters per million population.

The only people in the United States that will tell you where they live is in Texas. Every place else is so dependent on every one else.
I have shown dogs in both Vancouver and Ontario and have found the people in Western Canada quite a bit like Texans and the people in Ontario I am afraid like Damn Yankees from New York City. That is the third thing a Texan hates is a Yankee with a U-haul Trailer going south.
