You say overseas health care is 'crazy'. We (non US citizens) think the amounts you pay for medical care is even more crazy
One woman even said she had to get birth control on prescription.. What the fuck?
Yeah, I take my socialist country any time ,any day ^^.
@@zuzauramek9850 You mean "socialist".
I don't think he meant it in a bad way. Some people use the word as a synonym for strange or unbelievable. And, let's be honest, to someone who has grown up in America, that's how our health system would seem, right?
In France we always say : « My liberty stop when it damage the liberty of someone else », and yet we’re still free.
As it should be. I dont understand how most people in the US dont think like this, when so many of them are Christian and love saying religion gives humans morals. Damaging other peoples liberties doesnt seem very morally correct to me
That is very true, we have the same saying in Spain
i'm saudi .. i went to the US .. the second week there, i peed blood .. had no idea why .. happened multiple times while i was there .. went to the hospital to get checked.. the bill was ridicules even with insurance .. got a prescription, went to the pharmacy .. the medicine costs 500 dollars and they said the insurance doesn't cover that specific drug .. called a few of my cousins who were doctors .. told me to drink cranberry juice ..
stayed in the US for 7 months in 2017 - 2018 .. when i went back to saudi arabia .. that blood thing never happened again .. idk if it's something in the food or in the water that messed me up ..
the US is a FREAKING WEIRD COUNTRY
in saudi arabia, a private hospital will charge you a max of 70 dollars for a check up .. a small clinic might charge a max of 20 dollars for a check up.
and if a medicine was too expensive to buy, just go to a public hospital and they'll enter the prescription in a system and then you can literally go to any pharmacy on the street and claim the medicine for free .....
i still don't understand how people think of the US as a great country when living there is literal suffering ...
In Sweden it is free to give birth , because the baby is important here, in 18 years time that person is going to be part of the workforce and our country sees it as good thing to invest in the future.
And yet Swedish midwives who oppose abortion are fired. No, Swedes do not care about babies. Almost every disabled child is murdered before birth.
About the over-the-counter antibiotics, that’s a really big problem. Antibiotic resistant bacteria is a growing issue that is extremely dangerous. If the antibiotics doesn’t work anymore, common infections may become deadly again, like they were 100 years ago. It scares the heck out of me!
I was gonna say, that part doesn't sound too good tbh.
I agree with this - unless it’s been prescribed by your doctor I wouldn’t feel comfortable taking antibiotics like that.
In the Netherlands you need a prescription for antibiotics. Because of this problem, still lot's of people stop taking antibiotics when they feel better (worst thing you can do).
Worst thing though is that chickens, pigs and cows get lots of antibiotics. Which we also eat on a daily base... That's still a thing because we mass-produce meat. (and no I'm not a left-wing kind of dude, just common sense and questioning things)
@@paragon1361 I agree, in France, anibiotics also need to be prescribed. I agree that we should be careful about their use, because we will be in a lot of trouble if bacterias became immune to all anibiotics.
@@williamriviere795 I'm pretty sure it's impossible for bacteria to become immune to all antibiotics. They lose their immunity over time as long as it isn't needed and some forms of immunity straight up cannot be expressed at the same time. It is however possible for them to become resistant enough to most common antibiotics to become lethal by the time a working antibiotic is administered. This will also make the chances much higher that at least some bacteria express the immunity that does allow them to survive the full course.
You broke away from King George III, not from the Queen. Learn your own history.
I've heard the phrase "Land of the free" but I didn't know US people thought they were free or more free than anyone. From the outside you look scared of things, set in your way, unknowing of anything outside of the US, not free to walk and move around in nature and have so much restrictions in general, crazy amount of violence, religious believes that basically everyone has and mix it with politics and try to restrict people and hate against other religions, against atheists against the lgbtq community etc., everything seem so black or white and no middle, competition instead of unity, speak of love for the people of your country but almost whatever happens it's just "I pray for you" "Pray for the gun violence to stop" etc and nothing done, homeless people everywhere etc etc. Huge costs for medical, education, no real second language education spanish should be mandatory, it's one of the US languages, violence toward everyone not white, not question things, fear of change. and on and on. Huge portions of food and sugar in everything, colors even cheese and lots of other food coloring, everything is so over explained so when I watch americans watch like jokes from the UK or other places and it's something you need to think a bit and not over explained many re so lost. Commercials are so loud and "perfect" or fake, omg the reality shows are crazy without any reality or sanity, the fact that being rich is something people can be famous and looked up to for??? The US is so weird to me.
Great movies though and lots of nice people too but it's so often looks like the US is an over the top caricature of itself but it's not, it is how it is in the US.
And most important, How can guns be legal after the first school shooting BUT HOW now still???
oh another thing, I've so often see in US movies and tv-series that if someone have an accent or different culture it is either used as a funny thing or a weird thing, just the fact that they talk different or have a different culture and also portrayed as a bit stupid. That is messed up. I've even seen US people snicker as they just hear an accent or see another cultural thing or another religion as if it's a funny thing and I guess it comes from how people are portrayed in your movies. Same with the lgbtq community, they are often not just another character that you might find out that one of the guys have a boyfriend but instead a small side part, very over the top stereotype and his whole part is about him being gay, not like all other characters that are straight that are portrayed like actual people with jobs, personalities etc, no he is just the "funny gay" with gay issues and it's supposed to be funny in it self that he is gay. In tv-series from other countries you might just see that one person in the cop show brought their same sex partner to a work get together and it's no thing, no shocked colleagues, no looks, it's not more made a thing or shown differently than the other in opposite sex relationships and who they brought with them.
The americans need to realize there is a difference between "freedom" and "i dont care". Are our people here in germany free? Yes they are. But still do we have laws for example to restrict the freedom of the industry. We need these laws tp protect the freedom of the weak against the strong.
I live in Germany...you don't know what freedom is. Camping is illegal...and I don't count an RV park as camping. Freedom of speech is illegal. Homeschooling your own children is illegal. Hell, you don't even have school choice...you must go to the school in your neighborhood so the rich people don't have to have their kids in school with the unwashed miscreants...by that I mean average people. You have no right to refuse entry to a chimney sweep. Taking a picture can get you in legal trouble. You have no right to a trial by a jury of your peers. The state arrests you, tries you, convicts you and sentences you. There is no freedom of speech.
So, you're free...to do as you're told. You're so programmed by the system that you can't even see your lack of rights.
Ever hear of the Romilke family? The homeschooled their children. They were arrested and put in prison. Their children were taken by the state and put in Jugenamts (orphanages basically). The kids were psychologically evaluated and deemed to be happy, healthy and all tested far above grade level academically...Remember German schools are designed to create factory workers just educated enough to put widget a into widget b except for a select few.
Anyway, then, they got out of prison, America offered them asylum. Germany revoked their passports and won't let them leave staing in the court documents...we believe you intend to homeschool your children in America...yay freedom!
The only freedom difference is in America you have freedom of speech other countries have freedom of expression. Pretty much the same thing just less aggressive.
You can protest with racist, religious or whatever hate, that's within the law. If we protest with hate it's not OK but we can still protest those things just more politely!
I asked this American guy the same thing about freedom: Which freedom do you have, that we don’t? And his first and only response was: “We have freedom of speech - like if I want to call you whatever, I’m allowed to, but you have to talk nice to people.”
I’m not sure he’s right, but even if he was. It’s not much of a freedom-sign to me. Certainly not something to be proud of?
We say "Your freedom to punch air ends where my nose begins."
We just end freedom of expression where it negatively affects someones sense of safety and basic human right of being respected. I don't know why they are so proud that they are free to be as vile as possible at the expence of someone else's literal life.
I'm pretty sure whenever someone puts "americans" on the title what is actually meant are US americans not mexicans nor canadians and such.
We can start calling them Gileadians any day now.
The only time you have to notify the school here in Sweden is if someone other then a parent is picking up your kid, but I've never had to show a ID or anything to pick up my sisters kids.
Yeah, and it's enough to text the fritids with a "Hey, X is getting picked up by Y today" so it's not even a big to-do haha
The only time I know that people need ID here is when the parents or guardians of the kid specified it. For example in case of a nasty divorce. Very rare. Of course plenty of kids travel to school by themselves.
i love these videos because its really funny because you see people in america that havent left the states and they scream "america is the best country in the world" and then you see "americans living abroad first time you realised america messed you up" and most of the clips start with "just one?" "i have so many" or "where do i start" so yea its funny that people who havent left the states are going "americas the best country" and then the people who have left the states are going "america really fucked me up"
I knew that something seriously is wrong with th U.S. after learning that they put chemicals in your MacD fries to make them look more golden...
The video of the woman talking how her periods changed while living abroad is telling!
Edted to ask you: after watching these videos and others, how does the info you have received make you feel? Do you feel less safe, or do you worry more about your and your kids' future in the States? Do you think it is possible for the U.S. to change for the better?
I feel like this is just propaganda from people who hate america. Try a less biased source.
5:07 That guy is talking about his pc and phone that is owned by the company but given to their employees to work with. Which means here, they can take it from you espacially when you have to take your vacation time. In Germany vacation time is bound within our laws to protect the health and work condition of the employee. If a company in Germany refuses to give you the earned vacation time, they can be sued. We also have payed vacation and off-sick time. Though if you work overtime that's not included in your contract, a company either has to pay you for the extra hours or give you off work time instead.
Look at it this way The passports that can travel with the most visa free nations are the arabic emiretes (107) Italy (115) and germany (114) and don't fotget if you live in the EU you can travel to basically every other country inside the EU with nothing but your ID, currently there are 28 countries in the EU and there are some that are not part of the EU where you can still travel with only your ID like Switzerland for example. If that isn't freedom I don't know what is.
Lol, Swedish passports can visit 188 countries (4th place). Japan & Singapore is at nr 1 with 192. Germany & south Korea: 190. Italy is actually at 189, same as Finland & Luxemburg. Etc. The US is at nr 6 with 186. The united Arab Em is 175.
*27 countries
Because Brexit
@@loveitftw I'd. Like to know where Canada is on Your Country list for visiting. I've seen a video that puts Canada in the TOP 5,of Countries with the BEST Passports, to travel TO ANY Country.
@@andynieuwenhuis7833 if swedes should go to Canada or on how Canada is ranked in what u mean?
I love how it's other countries' healthcare that you call "crazy". 😂
Freedom freedom freedom ffs yanks get fined for crossing the road lol.
Lmao 😂
I live in the Netherlands and we have this funny thing where if you get sick while on vacation, and you report it to your employer and make sure that they can reach you by phone/e-mail/other ways of contact to confirm, the days on which you are sick will not be deducted from your annual vacation days, unless your contract says otherwise. They will instead be written up as sick days, which is another form of paid leave.
Also, your vacation days will expire half a year after December 31st, and so your employer will stimulate (not force, since that is illegal) that you take off those 20 days annually and if not, that you do so within the next half year.
I would never consider moving to the US, even if it was just because I have diabetes and would most likely not be able to afford insulin. Here, it's all covered by my insurance.
I’m french and i’m not going to talk about the health care. Instead, i’ll talk about work. The big difference between the US and my country is that you live to work wich is not the case overhere, we work to live and that’ s a big difference
To my knowledge, we don’t have lockdown or lockout drills over here (🇸🇪)… I wouldn’t know what to do if someone started shooting at my school 🤷♀️. I think I would lock and barricade the door, tell the kids to get down on the floor and be quiet, try to assess the situation and get the kids out through windows if possible.
That just sounds like common sense to me - maybe US citizens need a drill for it
That's interesting. Here in Finland we also don't have lockdown or -out drills with kids but as a teacher you are required to know those things. Every school needs to have plan for different kinds of problems (someone twists their ancle, there is fire, there is shooting...) and all the staff is required to read it and know how to react on different situations.
Though your idea is mostly same than ours. You should also make kids go as far from door/if there are windows as possible and also under something, like tables. Of course stay out of sight if someone can see into the classroom. Also try to contact headmaster as quietly as possible. And don't send your kids out of window if you are not 100% sure that shooter(s) are inside, which you usually aren't without someone being outside to tell you everything is alright there.
Luckily we don't need these skills too often (2 school shootings in Finland ever, few more incidents with knifes or stuff).
@@magicofshootingstar5825 Doesn’t hurt to practice ☺️. Maybe they do them in Sweden too, I just haven’t come across it (I’m a teacher) - yet. We’ve only had one school shooting, in the 60s. But given the state of the world, who knows what’s coming 😬…
No kid should ever worry about guns.
Usa's system is insane
There is one freedom you have that most of the rest of us don't have. The right to own guns. There is of course the small issue that most of us don't need them, so...... Not really a freedom we are particularly interested in lol
Most nations consider affordable health care to be a basic human right, but gun ownership as a privilege. The USA sees gun ownership as a right and affordable health care is treated as a privilege. Most nations do allow their citizens to own certain types of firearms, so long as they qualify, which can require a criminal background check, mental health assessment, and they need a legitimate reason for wanting to own a firearm - eg: sports, hunting, etc. Self-defence doesn't cut it because most other nations perceive the USA's concept of shooting someone in self-defence as nothing but another form of legalised murder, and automatic and semi-automatic firearms are usually not on the list of acceptable firearms for citizens to own because like, they only have one purpose and that's mass murder which isn't acceptable.
The Lady talking about the 4 July and breaking away from the Queen , what Queen would that be ? .
@terry9325; My take on Her statement is, She only Know Queen Elizabeth II, who just Passed away last year. As a Canadian we learned that it was King George II. Canada got its independence in1867, but stayed in the Commonwealth and still respects the new King.
Am I the only one who thinks that of all 'free' countries the US is somewhere at the bottom? Like how tf can you say that you're 'living in the land of the free' when the fact that the expense of healthcare and education, which I think should be basic rights, prevent you from living life properly
The World is free with amazing values, there are some dictators but you could count them on your hand.
Really enjoying your channel dude - and your accent is amazing! Big love from the UK! 🇬🇧
Idk how much vacation you get but if you're a teacher in Sweden then you'd get at least 4 weeks somewhere between June and August(depends on when you want to have it), I would guess at least y'all get the summer off. Other than that here we get a additional 25 days(or 28? I'm not sure at all), and you have to use up at least 20 of them per year. But I think you can save the rest for the next year(no one does). Sick days are as per usual: if you're sick, don't work. The👏 rules👏 are👏 simple👏
Fairly standard thing in Europe I believe. 🤷♀️
...Wonder how long it will take for the US citizens to realize that what was sold to them as "freedom" is essentially "You're on your own here".
Like Thatcher famously said, "There's no such thing as Society. There are only individuals...".
Well, we happen to think differently here in Europe: we believe that the greater good may be superior to individual freedom in some cases.
We are not OK with old people working to pay their prescriptions, workers with no minimum wages or social benefits like healthcare or sick pay, and we sure don't agree with nutjobs or extremist buying assault rifles across the counter at the supermarket.
If that's being Communist, well count me in....
And anyone can walk into a school. You don’t have to make an appointment or let your presence or purpose be known. If you look lost I guess you ask if they need help 😂 but most would think you’re just some kid’s parent.
Great reaction, great channel 👍🏻🇦🇹👍🏻
We had one UK school shooting and changed our gun laws so there could never be another.
I was pregnant at the time & found it difficult to look forward to have my baby with this happening, also i'm from Cumbria & we had the Whitehaven shootings that were years after Dumblane so the gun laws did'nt prevent that one.
@@beverlybradley5485 :Hungerford - auto and semi-automatic guns ownership banned.
:Dunblane - handguns banned.
:Whitehaven - anything over .22 banned
excepting gun clubs, farmers etc.
I know of no legislators who use a crystal ball to see into the future.
Rest of the World - waves kids off to school in the morning, welcomes them back in the afternoon.
US - waves kids off to school in the morning, wonders if they’ll return in the afternoon.
Schools all over Europe you could just walk in. That's probably only the US where you can't.
The 'idea of freedom' did not originate with the revolutionary war - you inherited it from the UK where the germ of liberty was sown as far back as 1215 when the Magna Carta embodied a whole list of liberties, 'freedoms and 'protections'
One time when my mom, sister, and I were visiting family in the Philippines, my sister had to go to the emergency room for an allergic reaction. The cost of the emergency room visit and medication afterwards was cheaper than if we had just walked into an emergency room in the states WITH our insurance ($75 USD).
It's really NOOOT a good thing to hand out antibiotic handy-dandy, can cause so much more problems than it'll solve (she might have gone through it more thoroughly but skipped it in the clip ofc). Just gotten to be quite an issue around the world, overusing antibiotics and not go through with the whole treatment
The overuse of antibiotics has nothing to do with universal healthcare versus a private insurance system. People in the US aren't being denied or forced to over pay for medicine out of some altruistic desire to preserve the efficacy of antibitoics, it's purely about profit.
@@Fangtorn Exactly, it doesn't. Maybe not in the US (you can quite easily get it as long as you have moneyl) but around the world there are many who's reluctant to use antibiotics unless it's really needed and if it's used they're nitpicky about it being used properly.
My comment wasn't a comparison, it was just a reflection on the antibiotics being handed out seemingly freely.
We have 5 weeks payed vacation by law in Sweden.
I think the second reaction is more of an African thing than other countries cause in Europe where I stay the pharmacy system is similar to America.
By the way I am African
I hope you get some free time, and see some of the world, before you get old!😁
I realize your name is Dar Tannon, but my mind keeps turning it into D'Artagnan as in: The -Three- Four Musketeers
Love your vids,
and yes I think US can be very
Do the "How you can tell someone is American without telling you they're American" videos next 😁
One of the reasons why the school wasn't mentioned is because it's normal every where else but the US.
The worst thing is that Usaians do nothing about these things, because they want to believe they live in the best country in the world and dont need to learn from others...that would be playing to Putins (or whom ever) hands
i can't speak for Germany but in the Netherlands an employer is not allowed to force an employee to take vacation.
I've heard you say "when I was younger" mutliple times during these videos. How old are you exactly and when was "when I was younger" ?
As far as I know he got a wife and two kids, so he is older than he looks. :D
The one freedom that comes to my mind that the US has and many countries don’t, is the freedom to own guns… so… yeah
You can own guns in other countries too, they just do a background check first before selling, also sell lockable cabinets to keep them in & you have to get a license as well.
The girl talkimg livimg in Costa Rica is right. America is not a country. It's a continent. I am american. But not from USA. It's really annoying and frustrating that people forget that all the time.
Come to Botswana
We have even more freedom than you do here in Norway.
Land of the free.. Iol.. silly
I frequently hear the question: witch country is this in? In all and there is one universal exception to almost everything: Gods own country, the USA. And my Belgian health insurance covers I think the whole world. Except and clearly stipulated, not the USA.
broother. How are you?. that's gorgeous ,
come on to spain bro
8:15
Being that paranoid she should be happy she didn't go to Sweden.
We had virtually no changes to normal life during the pandemic.
Social distancing was recommend (not enforced) and masks were mandated in works where it was essential, medical, food etc, not in public.
But otherwise, the only national change was that bars and pubs closed a few hours early.
I had covid 3 times.
Delta once and omicron twice and I have to tell you, it's the weakest shit I've ever been through, a half decent hangover is a million times worse.
I wouldnt even have known I had it unless we tested on a regular basis, I felt *nothing* but getting a little winded from carrying my groceries to my 5th floor apartment.
And I'm not a perfect picture of health, I'm 40 years old a bit over weight, I'm a smoker and I drink probably more than I should.
Sweden had some of the highest coof spread numbers in the EU in the beginning.
We also had the lowest from the middle to the end and we were in the lower end of the death toll per capita.
The coof doesn't kill a healthy person.
It just doesn't.
The mortality rate of the regular flu is 4 times higher in children and almost two times higher in adults age 20 to 45.
When you get into the 65 or 70+ is the only situation where the coof has a higher mortality rate and you don't see entire nations getting locked down over the flu.
It IS dangerous if youre in an exposed group and its way more contagious so yea there is a problem with this illness, I'm not saying ignore the threat but the mass hysteria is ludicrous.
It's just another means for the government to implement more authoritarian laws.
I will disagree. I will say living abroad highlights how America creates well rounded people...or at least it did.
What freedoms don't you have? Lots, the right of freedom of speech. Only America has true free speech.
The right to bear arms. Going well? Look at Canada and Australia and how the leaders could easily go full tilt dictator since they don't have these rights.
You're statement is idiotic, you clearly know nothing about free speech or gun rights anywhere in the world. In Europe we have free speech "wherein it does not incite hatred", ie you can't spout racist or homophobic BULL, you know that crazy ass west baptist church? that's your freedom of speech for us thats Incitement to hatred. You wanna know why neo nazis exist in america but are banned in europe? Because we do not allow incitement to hatred, you know why? Because of the NAZI's, because know exactly what happens when you allow xenophobic narcissitic nationalism to overtake a country. As for guns again you know absolutely nothing,you can get a gun in any country in europe, or austrailia or Canada, there are no laws that forbid guns in total, our countries simply have proper and effective gun control policies. Switzerland has more guns per capitia than america, guess how many school shootings happen there? None. Educate yourself. Oh and btw leaders going full dictator? what exactly happened at the Capitol on Jan 6th? That was a wannabe dictator trying to seize control, in America.
The US free speech laws ensure freedom to speak against the government without fear of reprisal. It doesn't mean you have the right to say anything you want with no repercussions. The US was on its way to becoming a dictatorship with the orange buffoon, who even incited a coup attempt with his false claims that he won the 2020 election. That's what most dictators do. Canada and Australia are Commonwealth countries; at the first hint of any dictatorship (as if that would happen anyway) the Queen, as Head of State, has the power to dissolve Parliament and remove those leaders, and instate her own Parliament, as she did in Australia in 1974. I don't know where you get your information from, but it's wrong. This myth of the US being the one and only truly free country in the world is absolutely ridiculous, if you really want to stop and think about it. And since most USians aren't taught and don't know anything about other countries, how on earth can they assert with absolute certainty that the US is the only 'free' country? It's like saying you have the best pair of shoes in the world because you've never stopped to notice the shoes other people are wearing. It's a nonsense belief.
@@mimimusick9734 That is one of the stupidest rants I've ever seen. First, you're hysterical. Second, by law you are free to speak anything unlike for example, Germany.
Second, name one iota one morsel where Trump stifled free speech.
Here's some advice. First learn, then speak.
@@TheRagingPlatypus Yet again an idiotic statement from someone who knows absolutely nothing about what they're talking about. You ridiculous statement about dictators, debunked instantly, you're ridiculous statement about free speech, debunked instantly, you're ridiculous statement about guns, debunked instantly. Now you make a ridiculous statement about Trump, then accuse Mimi of needing education, this from the man who thinks no other country has guns. Trump stifling free speech? What exactly do you think calling reporters freely reporting "fake news" is? That is exactly what stifling free speech is, its an attack on media, its also EXACTLY what Putin is doing in Russia right now. Literally Putin has introduced 15 year prison sentences for spreading what he decides is "Fake News". You are in desperate need of education.
@@mimimusick9734 Jan 6 insurrection completely debunked...by FBI. Howe er, in your free Canada, Trudeau had women and children trampled with horses, froze bank accounts of political dissenters, sized property and imprisoned people without a trial.
And their history is just as dark as any country. Hell, they were kidnapping Amerindian kids until the 1970s!
