i won't try to argue with you LG as you are far too researched (though that does not make a person correct) for me to attempt to argue with you but i do think there is some relevence to knowing what country you claim to be a citizen of or reside in, as you "know" where your fellow debaters are citizens of it gives you an vindictive advantage over any debate you may chose to enter.
For my two cents worth you sound like a fellow from Demark, far too opinionated to be Scandivanian, if so you enjoy one of the top 10 wealthiest countries, conjoined with the one of the top ten most expensive countries to live but with a very high quality of life. I don't live live in USA as a personal choice and don't agree with many things they do but as a professional Expat i see all the equally as unfair and particually westerized Europe you should temper some of your rhetoric with some European insight
