Your cities suck!

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World's_most_livable_cities

Three reputable, international sources didn't even include ANY US CITY in the Top 10 in 3 sets of rankings! That's 0/30 Americans!

Because half of you probably can't understand/are to lazy to read the article, here are the Coles Notes version:

Mercer

Mercer's City Ranking Tables

City Country Rating

1 Vienna Austria 108.6
2 Zurich Switzerland 108
3 Geneva Switzerland 107.9
4 Vancouver Canada 107.4
5 Auckland New Zealand 107.4
6 Düsseldorf Germany 107.2
7 Frankfurt Germany 107
8 Munich Germany 107
9 Bern Switzerland 106.5
10 Sydney Australia 106.3

- The first entries from other countries are Singapore at 22, the USA at 31, and Japan at 37

So, the US shows up at spot #31 in this survey! Aren't Americans always saying they are #1? LOL

Well played at #13 and #22, impressive! And your #13 is in the middle of the ocean!

Conclusion

Why would anybody ever want to live in American't? Their cities aren't world class. Crime rates are out of control. Employment opportunities are disappearing. Housing markets have been in a steep decline for years. Educational institutions are crumbling. Racial segregation is prevalent. Is this the kind of country you want to live in?

It's ironic because the mass media in this average nation has the populace consuming some type of euphoric drug which makes the common citizen still believe they are living in the world's greatest nation, when in reality, that belief couldn't be further from the truth. The slew of irrational, incoherent, illogical, empty emotional patriotic ramblings that will follow shortly will prove this point.

Having people like this in your nation will never let America possess the world class cities that citizens of other countries enjoy on a daily basis:

I see that Vancouver ranks 1st and 4th on the lists above.... Impressive.
Beautiful display of behavior on Wednesday by that city. Classy people.
Canada has like 5 inhabitable cities in the whole country and they almost burned one of them down.

[BuckeyeT]

We get it forsy you hate america, how many posts to you need to keep making to let us know how you feel?

Now do your country a favor and go help clean up vancouver after that wonderful display of being sore losers.

[cant call it]

Australia all up in the mix.
Shari get me a plane ticket baby

Just like I predicted: "The slew of irrational, incoherent, illogical, empty emotional patriotic ramblings that will follow shortly will prove this point.

It's ironic that Canada has more world class cities than that US given the fact that the US has 10X the population.

BTW, FACT: Canada has more than 5 inhabitable cities. In case you didn't know, (well obviously you don't because the only thing you know is who won the latest NASCAR race, and the current WWE title holder), 90% of Canada's population lies within 200 km of the US border. So if you're saying that Canada's cities are uninhabitable, then what does that make the rest of the northern US states?

That time of the month huh forsberg? What a whiny little bitch you are. Maybe Canada can win the curling championship this year...

Only in America can you become famous for being a fat fukk and losing weight.

You should stick to copying and pasting articles... when you post your own thoughts things go very bad very quickly for you.
Your post is unintelligent and incoherent. You making reference to the fact 90% of the Canadian population lives within 130 miles of our border only proves my point that most of your country is uninhabitable.

[yisman]

forsberg, you trying to get to 100 threads bashing America?

You must lead a happy life.

[jarvol]

You come across an as envious little niehgbor with a small cokk.

[muldoon]

The idea that forsberg21 (or anyone for that matter) takes pride in city rankings or hockey results or anything else they had ZERO control over, is pretty sad.

And the constant bashing of a country (in this case forsberg21 towards the US, but others towards Canada as well) is a good example of the expression "crabs in a bucket"

At minimum, these threads should be auto-ejected to another part of the forum.

LOL, what's the highest level of education you completed? If you really believe that most of Canada is uninhabitable, then this discussion is over since arguing with you would be arguing with a little child.

Here's an explanation to your ridiculous theory. It's historical. Most of the major British settlements were located along a 500 km stretch from Windsor to Toronto to Montreal. The settlements existed here because this is where all the border battles took place. The majority of the population lived along the border to defend the border, and it has remained like that to this day. It's too bad that your pathetic educational system never taught you something so simple as this. Does this make sense? Although I'm sure that Fox News told you something else, this is why 90% of Canadians live within 200 km of the US border. Do you understand? Verstehe dummkopf?

[BuckeyeT]

Forsey you really need to get laid, sooo angry and frustrated over nothing.

Get a hooker i know there cheap up there EH!!

this made me fkin

[FishFace5]

HA. You just keep shoving your foot farther and farther into your mouth.
Thanks for lil canadian history lesson.
Fact is, as you stated, 90% of the population lives within 100 miles of our border. Canada is the 2nd largest country in the world. If the rest of the your country is so ******* great why does nobody live in it??......
Ohhh I got it. Because the whole rest of the country is freaken frozen tundra and lakes.

Man you really are stupid aren't you? Going by your twisted, childish logic, why doesn't anybody live in the US mid-west???

I've already explained the reason to your question and you're still pulling the frozen tundra and lakes card. Did you get your high school diploma?

[Grits n' Gravy]

If US is so bad why does everyone want to move here from foreign countries? Don't see a ton of people moving to Canada. You all get the occasional Jamaicans that are looking to make some money off dope, but that's about it. Canada is ok in my book, but quite frankly if your government ever truly pissed us off you'd fall quicker than Grenada to us.

[FishFace5]

Now that I've actually read some of your posts, I regret entering this thread.
I thought this might actually lead to an interesting debate but once you stopped copying and pasting articles and opened your mouth I realized there was no hope for anything worth while to come of this.
Have a good day guy.

[opie1988]

Jesus, Forsberg......must you always be such a douche?

Get the fukk over it already. We get it. We're sorry you won't born an American. Nothing we can do about it.

[RubberKettle]

LOL this guy spends so much time thinking about America.

[Deuce]

Land of the free, home of the brave.

Until every other country stops comparing themselves to America, we are still top dogs. That being said, Canada is basically the US. I don't even consider myself going to another country when in Canada.

[Wulfman14]

why don't you and the poster emily haines go and lick each other's balls.

[durito]

Crime rates are out of control

Crime rates have dropped everywhere in the USA for over 15 straight years.

[ChileCheese]

Land of the free??????????????????, home of the brave.

Are you sure?

Everyone? Let's not go overboard.

Actually it is going on 20 years.

Do you know why?

[Ninersnut]

Forsberg riding America's rooster hard these days. You let the Canadians host 1 season of Ice Road Truckers and their head gets so big.

[Grits n' Gravy]

Everyone? Let's not go overboard.

Name a country that doesn't have their people wanting to move here.

[ChileCheese]

Name a country that doesn't have their people wanting to move here.

Argentina.
