"Merely said that the standard of living was better than the west."
No offence anal, but the last report I've heard of (2001 United Nations Comparative Index) had the following rankings:
1. Norway
2. Australia
3. Canada
4. Sweden
5. Belgium
6. United States
7. Iceland
8. Netherlands
9. Japan
10. Finland
Do you have a more recent version or are you "spewing forth this crap"?
