Yep, this might be a reason. That being said i really don't know why we are talking about those countrie as the ''best ones to live'' whe this is completly un-true and false. they are very, very good in many aspect (such as controlling the Corruption for example), but saying they the best quality of life its quite ridiculus.

Hum, either you have the attention span of a chipmunk (that is, roughly one year) or you're really, really, really fucking young. Immigration has always been a topic in Europe on and off, Europe has always sufferd some form of terrorism in the recent 70 years. This includes my personal top 3 of European terrorism: the IRA, ETA, RAF. Some of which have been around longer than the Taliban and some of which have cost more lives than IS in Europe.
But hey, let's just look at last year and FREAK THE FUCK OUT!, because we've never seen terror before.

The trade-off is the summers when the sun goes down for 1 hour or less and then comes back up. "Winter is coming" though, really dark times in Scandinavia, at least in their northern parts. During deep winter i've got 4-5 hours of daylight each day and i live in the middle of Sweden. Can't imagine living in the far north.
Like it or not, the EU is an entity legally recognised by virtually any other entity that needs to recognise entities. The UN acknowledges the EU, most countries of the world acknowledge its existance and if you want to trade with countries in the EU, you are going to follow EU rules. You can personally ignore the EU as much as you like, but that won't change the fact that half of the laws that you come in contact with on a daily basis (without knowing) are touched by the EU in one form or another.
(Btw, that "variety and disparity between the different countries [parties]" is called democracy. Your country has it too in its parliament, you wouldn't want us to stop recognising Finland as an entity, do you?

If i write my opinion on the Swiss i will get banned. What i can say is that their contribute to the european history is lesser than zero, but they still think they are cool just because of the money. Sad people.
I guess it all depends on whether these quality of life lists are meant to be taken as a recommendation of the best places to move or not. Not to say that there isn't a xenophobic streak in American culture as well, but I feel like regardless of who you are or where you come from you'd find a warmer welcome there than in practically any European country, and that has to count for something, eh?
8th century and beyond, whenever the Christian part of Europe fought against Muslim invasions. So "modern" is relative. Greeks first mentioned Europa, Romans spread it around after their Occident-Orient distinction of the two empires fell apart with the empire. It's not a modern invention, the term has been thrown around for a long, long time.
The northern America was based of Europen civilisation, nobody, not even the Americans themselves will deny that. They've since split and done their own kind of thing, so they're hardly "European" at this stage. I think 1776 is a pretty good date where you can make the cut and say before that they've been basically British, afterwards they were pretty much American.
And if you don't know what modern European culture is... I suggest you open your eyes. Listen to some french rap, go to Italy for some pasta, watch a classical concert at the Salzburg classical festival, go watch a football game in Manchester, meet some hookers in the Netherlands and finally get fucking wasted on beer in Bavaria... If you can't see modern European culture, it's because you don't want to see it, because that would fuck your argument.

If you are a native in those lands, you are unlikely to find them depressing. For instance, in Denmark there is this concept called "hygge", best translated as "coziness" in English. Usually, "hygge" is best when there's a cold, dark atmosphere, such as during Christmas, and people are happily inside where there's warmth, candles, and just a lovely, cozy environment where they can be in company together.

So, they enjoy summer, but also know how to enjoy the dark winter that comes. That's wonderful. I personally also love grey weather. All things equal, I prefer to live in Denmark over my homeland Bosnia because Denmark has milder spring and summer.
Uh-huh... that's a tough argument to make once you realise that there are modern European countries basing some entire fields of law on ancient roman legal principles. Not to mention architecture, arts, language...

Wrong. I won't even bother to make an argument here, since if you believe that bullshit, any argument is wasted on you.

So you mean when you violate laws about insulting other people, you get into trouble with authorities? How's that violating free speech? Wait, do you actually think free speech should include EVERYTHING?
Want me to test that concept for you? Throw me a PM and I'll show you free speech of the kind you'd like to see free.
