-- Posted by liv21 at 6:57 am on Oct. 6, 2008 I am not proud to be an American.  I hardly like anything about it.  I don't like the school system, the political system, the culture, the economy, the religions...  I've got two years left to go, and if I don't get to CMU, you can bet I'm going to college in another country. So the question is, what country would be best suited for me?  I'm taking German classes, but I'm not sure that I'd like Germany or Switzerland or the like. I want to live in a country with a strong middle class, good education and health care systems, a strong reputation among other countries, and little political disagreement.  It would also be preferable if it had a proud, sophisticated culture with less emphasis on religion.  Does anything like that exist? -- Posted by The Bartender at 6:58 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Come to Scotland =] -- Posted by Ivan23 at 6:59 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Georgia? -- Posted by StunningKisser at 7:01 am on Oct. 6, 2008 any northern european country will fit your needs os slovenia, which performs like a baltic country but in the middle of the mediterranean... if you desperately want a german speaking, then austria. i wouls say "switzerland" only if you want to be in banking.... -- Posted by Chiefette at 7:01 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Quote: from Ivan23 at 6:59 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Georgia? /facepalm...

Oh sure.  I'll get right up on the TV there and tell people that an entire country should adapt for me.   Anyway, I've always had a fascination with Scandinavia.  Is it easy to live there?  Is there any one country that I should look into?  Personally I think Finland is awesome but their language is so difficult! -- Posted by SunnySky at 9:28 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Not adapt for you. Try sharing Ideas with others. When others follow ideas. Change can be possible. -- Posted by liv21 at 9:42 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Quote: from SunnySky at 9:28 am on Oct. 6, 2008 Not adapt for you. Try sharing Ideas with others. When others follow ideas. Change can be possible. No thanks, it'll be far easier just to move. Trust me, I went through the exact motions before when I chose cyber school over public school. The school wouldn't change for me, and there was something else out there that I wanted.
