> Not to mention living in America is like playing life on hard mode;

Do you have any idea what living in third (or even second) world countries is like?

> at least relative to other OECD countries.

Such as Turkey? Or Mexico? Why do you think Mexicans escape to the US? Because their life was too easy and they wanted to have more of a challenge?

I explicitly wasn't talking about second and third world countries, so your comment is mostly moot. I don't know about you, but I prefer we compete with our peers on quality of life rather than the tiers below. We should strive to be the best, not just better than the worst.

They come the US because the quality live in the US is superior ... I didn't say it wasn't.
