Rated: 8.5 out of 10.

Pros
-Nice Countryside, less polluted capital cities.
-More spacious and spread out.
-Most of the population near beach, and nice weather all around in most locations

Cons
-Recent drought
-An very ordinary government that seems to follow other countries (USA being a obv example with the Iraq war and the "war on terror"). Thank gawd the Labor party opposition now has a decent leader (Kevin Rudd) capable of challenging John Howard not only for Prime Minister, but for a majority in the House of Reps at the next federal election.
-Still a few people that are sticking to racial beliefs, but has since fallen from public view (eg the One Nation Party that rose and fell from grace just as quickly).

I live in Michigan,USA. I would have to rate it 8/10. I would rate it 10/10, but the economy is REALLY bad in Michigan. I would have to say that I like living here, though.

I live in England and I rate it the following:

Good

• NHS - at least it exists. When you get a £10,000 operation for free, you won't be complaining.
• Free public transport - well, for me anyway.
• Cultural diversity - but not too much.
• Democracy.
• Strong defences - we've not been taking over since 1066.
• Free education - well, until you're 18.
• The Commonwealth.
• Immigrants.
• The popularisation of football.

Bad

• NHS is not in as good a state as it could be.
• The government would rather waste strategically spend £5 million/day on Iraq than fixing the NHS (an extra £1.9 billion might help it, just a bit).
• Withdrawing the troops from Iraq simply means "we're moving them somewhere else".
• Blair is only third in command of the country, next to Bush.
• ~£250,000+ to buy a house! No-one has that kind of money.
• Some whining, unpatriotic pessimistic people.
• Mainland Europeans periodically bothering us with the Euro.
• American fast-food "restaurants" setting up shop here and helping us become fat.

9 out of 10.

I live in the United States of America and rate it a 7. The opportunities are great, but there's a bit too much corruption. Plus, the libraries are too small where I live.

I live in the United States of America. I rate it 9/10. I love the freedom we get here and how we can choose what we want to be. I can say what I want to say about the government and not worry about being arrested or prosecuted. If I go to trial, it is a fair trial. The reason I didn't give it a full 10 is because the politicians we elect are not always the best candidates for the job. Bush was put in a tough position, but I don't wholly agree with the decisions he made after 9/11. The people running for office don't always speak about what they plan to change while in office, but why his/her opponent shouldn't be elected for office. Overall I believe the U.S. is a great country to live in.

I live in Norway, and I'll rate it 7/10. The reason is that it is a very safe country to live in, almost untouched by war, and with a healthy government; but it is a country where I can't live out my dreams, and I can't get the education I'd like. There are good things and bad things about every country, but overall I like Norway And I LOVE the winter with minus 25-30 degrees celsius

I lived in the United States. A 8/10.

Good because: We are free people, loyal, patriotic, rich, helpful. We are good people of the world. We are United under God, as one, together. We work together.

Bad because: Some people are bad, discouraging, horrible and cruel people. Some make bad mistakes. There is also prostution, drugs, murders, smoking.

The Netherlands 6/10. Overall life is good here, but the future doesn't look all too bright, I really have a problem with the politicians being voted for and it's getting worse every election. Also, the politic seems to be getting more and more religious and I'm afraid of religious people.
