Very misleading considering the USA as a whole on GDP per capita sits below Norway, Luxembourg and Switzerland. Very poorly put together this thread. Blatant shite brought straight from the wealthy, patriotic yanks desperate to spread propaganda.

@Valhalla: Considering the USA as a whole, we sit above all of Europe combined when it comes to flags on the moon per capita.

ah, but likely that flag has turned white by now, much like the US in 'Nam ;)

Much like the French in WW2.

USA USA USA!
FREEDOM!
CANNONBALLS!

@that figure knyte posted, seriously?

so, 'Murica with it's 300 million citizens and debated gun laws are about 10 times safer than a scandivanian country with 5 million people?

seems legit to me.

oh and about Turkey and media bias? Sure, we got a lot of media control nowadays here alright; but trust me, we are *still* better off here than there.

lol when did i said Turkey's media is good? Also nice try but i am not Turkish.

EDIT: So true stewie, i mean Scandinavia is a hell right? :D

I thought we were talking about EUrope vs usA not Turkey? But i understand it since you are losing that one you try to bash a somewhat backwards country now. Goodjob!

EDIT: I would lmfao if someone did that to me, Erdogan is a dick.

EDITX2: My Turkish friends said half of the country hates him and the other half worships him sooooo

I'm not an Erdogan supporter, FYI.

Still doesn't change some facts here; at least we got used to our dic- I mean our glorious leader, your election candidates are all jokes with almost all of them have a high chance to ruin your country irreversibly. You are destroying yourselves over big time, I hope you won't try to drag us or the whole Europe with you.

Shots fired.

On a side note, I literally died out of laughter after seeing that stuff on TV haha

EDIT: @Vengence I can assure you it's actually lower than half; the only reason this guy still wins the election is because our opposition parties suck.

I wouldn't say Turkish news is better than American news, but it's about the same badness. Both are very much government-led.

Accidental post. oops.

That's because they have to deal with the flood of immigrants that we inadvertently displaced with our wars and crappy foreign policy. I would be pissed.

Ja Rammstein!! Lane Cognito you have my vote!

Just a quick note, Bermuda would come second on that list if included. Yes, a small British island in the middle of the Atlantic is richer than every US state and European country.

Funny thread Knyte (I guess it was mostly done on trolling purpose ;) ), but let's be honest about it, what does GDP per capita truly mean? If 1% of the people own 90% of the total wealth of said country, that does not necessarily mean people are "richer" than the ones living in more egalitarian societies.

GDP is actually a very misused indicator which proves really nothing, I would take more attention on Human Development Index (HDI) or the even more accurate IHDI (inequality-adjusted human development index), which at least includes inequality (inequality in the distribution of wealth), lifespan, education, the GDP per capita, the fertility rate and the inflation rate.

And according to this more relevant indicator, in 2015 the US are only 27th (lost 11 ranks in 5 years! Same ratio as Greece congrats!), well after most of the European States such as Norway (1st), Netherlands, Switzerland, Germany, France, UK but even Spain, Italy and Hungary!

GDP or how to try (fail) persuading people your country is rich when billionaires actually own practically everything x)

I live in Denmark, my income as a student is equivalent to 885 USD per month, among the 10% lowest in this country, and I don't need more than this. Couldn't care less about the income per capita there, which by the way completely neglects the distribution of it. I would never want to live there.
