I think my life is great and a great in good part because of the country I was born and raised in.
I live in the best nation in the world.
The United States of America.-
me too

I love My country, beautiful and colourful Malaysia. -
I think life anywhere will be just as hard and dreary without a family and friends around you. -
I like England...I wish it was greener, but I like Britishness. I don't think I'd cope in America, but I imagine I'd be quite happy anywhere in Europe. I'd quite like to live in Sweden.-
America can't take the Brit out of me lol! Even my garden has a british look
well time to put the kettle on for some rosy lee. -
aw, make us a cup will ya?
-
milk and sugar, or just lemon hinnie?
-
Epic-there are places in the US I could imagine you being quite happy. San Francisco, for example, or the little town where I live. -
It wouldn't be cold and rainy though...and I wouldn't have the BBC...and the trains and buses might run on time...and people would be happy in a happy way, not in a miserable chipper way...it couldn't work!
-
Well, you're wrong about the first part, anyway. Cold and rainy, it is-perpetually! And we have no trains, and yes the buses sometimes run on time. As for happy happy don't worry-that's only me! People here are very political and constantly upset about things.

It's hard to say, since I've never lived anywhere else. I love my life, and I'm a very happy person, but I don't think where I live-the U.S.-has much to do with it.

I think growing up in a place called laguna beach, that settles next to the ocean has played a big part in my life. I have visited different countries and states, but in the end I always compare it to home and it just doesn't compare. -
I have found reasons to love and enjoy all the places I have lived in England and the USA.
-
As long as I don't fall victim to random police violence, all is well here in Spokane : \ -
I love my life in South Africa. But the society is still terribly stratified, so not everyone here feels that way. -
I like living in the south of England; it is generally quiet and mostly beautiful.
-
I live in two of the most beautiful cities in the world--San Francisco and Boston. They are both graceful, gentle cities and both are progressive, which suits me.-
I hated Boston...except in October. Too cold, too much snow, too muggy in the summer, too many noseeums...went back to California in 1969 and have never been back!
-
San Francisco will always be my home--always. But I love Boston, too. It's a lovely city and I must say that I appreciate San Francisco's mild weather much more now that I spend some time in Boston.
We tend to spend more time in SF in the winter, obviously--so we don't deal with winter all that much here.
The fall in New England is unbelievably beautiful. -
Too much cold, too much snow!?
No such thing!

-
As far as Third World countries go, it's not so terrible.
As far as the life I'd like to lead goes, it's not so good.
Oh, well!-
Where do you live?
-
Santo Domingo.
It's only nice if you're above the middle class
-
Ah, I've always wanted to go there--I hope to this winter, actually. Beautiful beaches, I hear.
-
That part is true, at least.
-
I love beautiful beaches. We aren't completely sure where we are going for our winter getaway--but the DR is on our list.
-
Sure, come here!
We need the money, you know -
If I come, will you meet me for lunch? I'll buy!
-
You better buy, because I'd be out of money with all those toll booths taking it away.
-
Cool, Friday! I am happy to buy! I'd really love to meet you. I'll let you know if we come there. I also added you as a friend here. I thought I'd done that before now but better late than never!~

I live in the poorest country in the European Union , tho my country should had not be accepted in it.
We have only history , good history but still only history , no future at all. Poor people can't make progress.-
I spent the summer of 2006 in the Republic of Georgia.
Your words sound so much like those of the young adults I knew there.

There are two Jamaicas. In one when you say you are broke you mean you are having trouble keeping your suv fuelled up. In the other broke means you don't know where your next meal is coming from. The two Jamaicas are very easy to see, afterall you have to drive past the squalor to get to any upscale neihbourhood or any 5 star hotel.
But whichever Jamaica you're from you experience the frantic rhythm of life through the reggae music, the vibrant dialect and accent of the people (not to mention the propensity to cursing), through the food that come in bold colours and tastes, through the lush landscape dotted with red ponciana and echoing with the calls of parrots, cling-clings and the scissors tail humming bird.
Jamaica, land of beauty!-
Always wanted to go visit there.

I live in a country that is very rich in history and heritage. I'm proud of the Philippines and will not live anywhere else. Yes I have gone out of the country but only for a vacation and just for a brief time. Once I tried to work abroad but decided against it the last minute. As a younger man i promised myself to help others in our country's economic struggles. I think i'm helping now by being a farmer-scientist introducing new technologies for the more traditional farmers. How I wish I can do more. -
great!!! this place rwaks! -
I think a lot of people have a hard life in my country, though a lot of the same people are happy with a certain amount of freedom and maintain as large of a quantity of hope about life as they do things to complain about. I think it would be nice if most people could have a level of contentment about life in their country, but still work to make things better there (wherever it is) for the people around them.
I would never say my country is the best one in the world, even if I thought it might be the best one for me (especially my region of my country), because it would seem to suggest I can't see past the end of my nose enough to see any of the things that are good and decent about some of the other countries. Because my mother raised me to understand how impolite it is to brag or to stick my finger in somebody else's eye.
