the guns in school thing is overrated-i doubt someone even opened fire weekly in my day 7 or 8 years ago.

all of the scandanavian countries do have great standards of living, but they do it at the cost of fish for breakfast. more seriously, any country who doesn't have massive amounts of poor first-generation residents coming in is at a huge advantage for quality of life shit, but they're doing it through isolationist and racist policies.
