Thats one of the more highly debatable statements I've heard in a while. And where? Are we talking washington state or nevada like, big country..and by what standards are you measuring this

Why not just change states? I'm curious why you want to completely jump ship to another country?

in order for the argument to be convincing you have to do what it says

Or you could provide some reasoning as to why you think so?
And I'm not in a position to move to america for a long enough period to fully experience the lifestyle and then come back and report to you in a time period for it to be relevant so..

I can get a job in a day easily, if I devote myself to it.
My rent is $400 a month, which includes utilities. I don't live in a nice place but there are much shitter places out there.
I have never been mugged or threatened with violence on the street; nor do I worry about such things.
Almost everyone is friendly. People are courteous and helpful.
The cultural diversity creates a interesting atmosphere where you never really know what to expect.
Obviously if you live in the country things are different. But that is how life is in Houston

I think thats a great way to look at it most Americans judge you on your character not your race or religion like most people overseas do. It is what makes a us a great nation as opposed to a good one.

myself as an example. I am a descendant of scotsirish immigrants who came here during the 1750s and 1920s. I am a ginger, but because of my location I am fluent in Spanish and am in fact 2 years away from teaching spanish at the university level. Nevertheless, most hispanic people do not show signs of surprise when I begin to speak Spanish. Here people are more accustomed to atypical happenstances, and I feel more accommodating of them. I would, for example, have a harder time finding a job as a Spanish teacher in England because of my appearance than I do here.

General tip for you to consider before thinking you could never relocate to go live in "paradise," locations such as Hawaii, the Caribbean, the French Riviera, and so on: Anywhere that has resorts has nearby communities that can support the service workers who staff them-- if you have some change and can appreciate the finer PARTS of life instead of the finer THINGS in life, nowhere is out of bounds.
