QuoteIf Canada were your home instead of The United States you would...

be superior in every way
feel compelled to constantly tell Americans that

Hmm, first bit seems to have been constructed oddly. Would have thought it would be "think you are superior in every way"

Well, what does he expect, bribing the cops, draining the grid and driving his F-350 like that.  :D

After all these years of Mono making HK sound like the 7th depth of Hell, this website makes it sound like Heaven.

What to think? :hmm:

I have said many times that I am better off working in HK  :P

Well, you are nice, but I don't think we'd ever want you living here, either.  :P

If The United States were your home instead of Germany you would...

be 9.2 times more likely to be in prison  :(
be 37.74% more likely to be unemployed :(
be 5.4 times more likely to be murdered :(
have 22.43% less free time :(
make 33.67% more money :)
consume 99.66% more oil :mellow:
spend 89.94% more money on health care :(
be 6 times more likely to have HIV/AIDS :(
use 69.45% more electricity :mellow:
experience 66.67% more of a class divide :(
be 78.32% more likely to die in infancy :(
die 0.88 years sooner :(
have 59.38% more babies :)

So, 9 :(, 2 :mellow: and just 2 :) ... hmm, I guess I'll stay where I am then.




If Singapore were your home instead of Germany you would...

consume 8.4 times more oil :mellow:
be 64.15% less likely to be unemployed :)
be 2.9 times more likely to be in prison :(
make 57.97% more money :)
live 3.94 years longer :)
experience 71.48% more of a class divide :(
spend 48.2% less money on health care :)
be 57.14% less likely to be murdered :)
be 26.88% less likely to die in infancy :)
use 7.97% more electricity :mellow:
be equally likely to have HIV/AIDS :mellow:
have 3.8% fewer babies :mellow:

So Singapore might be an option...

The Brain

The internet link doesn't accurately tell me how my life would be different in the US. How could it? It doesn't ask for my relevant info.
Women want me. Men want to be with me.

I can think of a few who probably would have like it had I stayed. :goodboy:
