It really is all about location in the US. Sure there are a lot of American traits that are more or less universal across all 50 states but a lot of the ugly stuff most people have in their minds about the US is stuff you mostly see in the south. I moved to Santa Barbara, CA from Finland but I've spent a lot of time in the south and I am somewhat familiar with what I'm talking about. I often see folks compare the absolute shittiest parts of the US with the most prestigious parts of their country. Like if I'd show you a picture of a mobile scooter riding 400 pound burger chomping, bible bashing wal-mart zombie from Boone county, West Virginia and a lean, well dressed, educated, progressive, city dweller from a good part of town in Helsinki and explain you how these two people are entirely representative of their country and ask you to draw some sort of a conclusion. My Finnish relatives that live in the rural east part of the country are fat, religious, racist and nationalistic. There's shit all around. I'm not denying that there's plenty of awful stuff happening in the US. The education system is in need of an overhaul, the health care system is broken and the political system is turning into an oligarchy of the 1 percent etc. I'm just saying that people shouldn't think of the US as just some poverty ridden shit hole 'cause it can be a pretty cool place and there's a lot to see and experience and Americans are generally very friendly.

[QUOTE=ze spy;43557780]will any of the scandinavians adopt me i want to live in norway pls ty[/QUOTE] Why norway? Anyways, you have plenty of nice plaes in america. You can get rich in north dakota from the oil there, montana or wyoming is nice for outdoors, washington with seattle and nearby vancouver in canada and whatnot is a nice combo of modern city and outdoors. Portland's also nice, and basically all the west coast with SF, Sdiego. Salt lake city also hosts the sundance movie fest. Las vegas can't be that bad either. Go west!
Putin was right in saying that the American exceptionalism is dangerous.
