Most of the time I follow up with a link to the original article but to avoid being called out due to the pic of the fidiot being quoted, I won't post it this time. So, which s**thole city does this garbage go on the air from anyway? NYC or LA. Both examples of s**tholes right here in the US. (I know there are freepers that inhabit both domains and you have my/our sympathies)

Why would Nigerians want to come here? Per capita GDP is almost 2,100 USD
Why would Norwegians want to come here with a per capita GDP of 70,000USD?

To gt away from the muslims. Many do not want to change the law so a vent is needed. There are people of Western Christian descent, so they readily integrate and assimilate.

Norway is not Socialist, the Government does not own or control business.

Cool. And that’s what the rest of them should be doing. Improve their lives, improve their countries. We can all live with that. That is compassion.

Methinks many Freepers need to realize that 1) Much of the US is 3rd world economically 2) Many Foreign Countries are richer and provide better opportunity for their middle classes.

Trump is doing a very good job on changing this, but we should recognize the harsh truth. We are no longer the place everyone wants to come to.

I suspect that my four great-grandparents who came over came over in part to get away from the Swedes. I didn’t know any of them, but the Norwegian love for Swedes carried onto the second and some of the third generation, who I did know. I suspect that now they will want to get away from the people Sweden has imported.

Norway enjoys a very high standard of living thanks largely to a very small population combined with lots and lots of oil having been pumped from Norwegian waters over the last 30+ years.

But reports have it that that oil is running out.

If that's true the day may come when Norwegians *want* to come here.

Why, Joy, oh why?

Maybe they want to be able to watch your show every day. And, perhaps someday realize their life’s ambition to appear as a guest?

Joy’s ego might be big enough to believe that.

All countries are equal, best to warn potential immigrants that America is just as much of a s?!thole as where they are coming from and they are better off staying HOME.

Stalinists lie. Always

Norwegians might want to come here because of the weather.

Communism is the type of government that owns all the businesses.

Norway is a socialist country and taxes the hell out of folks to give to the gimme folks.

In fact $70000 is a burger flipper income in Norway. Established professionals are doing much better. On the other hand you don’t want to know how much a burger or a gallon of gas cost in Norway, let alone home prices. Overall most people in Norway would find an idea of moving to US about as ridiculous as Americans would find moving to Mexico.
Norway, Switzerland, Singapore and about a dozen of other nations are certainly ahead of current US in terms of quality of life.
Arguably, but some poorer countries like Finland might be ahead on some terms too.

“Norway, Switzerland, Singapore and about a dozen of other nations are certainly ahead of current US in terms of quality of life.”

The countries you named are pissants in terms of countries. They have homogeneous societies. No diversity there in any of them, and yeah I know they speak French, German or Italian depending on which of their neighboring countries is closest. Plus Singapore is a benevolent dictatorship. Nothing there is democratic, but it works because it’s leadership isn’t Communist.
