    Norway of all places. The country with some of the best ratings for quality of life, education, safety and nearly every other metric.

    The reason, I’ll bet, is that people who are happy and well cared for are more difficult to exploit, which is the only metric his psychopathic brain cares about.

      It’s because they didn’t give him a Nobel. Narcissists are simple creatures.

      No, it is just because he didn’t get the Nobel Peace prize. He doesn’t care about that other stuff in the slightest, because it is not about him.

        Imagine being so dumb you think you deserve a peace prize for funding a genocide, starting wars and having a lawless Gestapo kidnapping people and dragging them to concentration camps for minor civil infractions

      I visited Norway a couple years ago. It was a god damn fairy tail. Waterfalls and fjords everywhere. Pristine rivers, mountains and forests. Clean air and water. Amazing restaurants and public transportation. Everyone spoke English. I would live there…easy. My only complaint is it is a bit expensive but the quality of live trade off would be worth it.

        Everyone spoke English.

        I get what you’re trying to say but saying this feels wrong. It just bothers me when Anglophones present this as some measure other nations should strive for.

          I spent 12 most learning Norwegian. I never had to use it once. My grandfather spoke it, but was a bit stubborn so we never learned it. I was more stating basically everyone in Norway speaks the English, which is nice for many international travelers as it is a common denominator for communication. Norwegian is not very useful as a second or third language, but I did enjoy it.

            If you were to move to Norway, knowing how to speak Norwegian would be socially beneficial. While just about every Norwegian can carry a conversation in English, it’s mentally taxing enough that side conversations between Norwegians are done in Norwegian soon enough. And then it’s only a matter of time until the main conversation is done partly in Norwegian.

            I’ve seen a lot of international students feel left out, not because the Norwegians want to exclude them, but because it’s less socialy draining to talk in the same language you think in.

      I doubt donnie dumbass even thought about it that hard or knows any of that.

      He is just a man-baby throwing more ketchup on the wall because the black man got a prize and he didn’t. He will just never get over so many things - Obama having two terms and getting a prize that he didn’t being fairly high on the list.
