I've got to move out of here to some where else(probably somewhere in Europe). Does any one else ever feel this way? And state your reasons.

Oddly enough, I want to go to Ireland. But I'm sure no one could have figured that out...

<_<

Sometimes. Sometimes I really don't understand the country of my birth any more.

Sometimes. Sometimes I really don't understand the country of my birth any more.

Exactly.

Yeah. I went and lived with my friend in Berlin for quite some time last year and I'm going back for 2 months in a couple weeks. I wish I didn't have to come back here though, sigh...

Me too. I've been thinking of moving to Nova Scotia or some remote UK island.

Sometimes. Sometimes I really don't understand the country of my birth any more.
:rolleyes:
What exactly don't you "understand"?

I suppose you prefer a country where rape is mildly tolerated.

My recommendation is pick a country, any country, and go live there. You will either want to continue to live there or you will appreciate the US more when you come back. Either way, you will be happier than sitting around being tired of where you are now.

I'm tired of....

Work really. 65 hours this work.

Praise the Lord for this awesome Capitalist country, where I can spend my money freely...

I've thought about it but if I do go anywhere it wouldn't be Europe. No different than the US when you get right down to it.
I'd only leave if the canidits for president in '08 are along the lines of Hillary Clinton vs Bill Frist. (or pick any other extreme vs the other extreme) Then I'm gone. I don't know where, but not here.

:rolleyes:

Not particuarly, which is why I sometimes don't get the US.

Before yelling at Japan (which has enough problems, thank you), remember that the US also has issues in that area.

No, I have problems with a country that no longer even seems to try to follow what it says. I have problems with a country that condones and uses torture, and then starts debates about should, or should it not be ok for some people. I can't understand a country so wrapped up in consumerism, but yet can't be bothered to practice good customer service. Nor can it be bothered to treat those who serve with ANY ammount of respect. It consumes so much that I think it consumes JUST to consume, in wasteful, unhealthy amounts just to prove that it's the best.

I'm visiting back home for the next few weeks and yet... I read the news and wonder if the US really still IS my home, it's like the country left me behind some time ago.

Maybe one day I'll find it again.

Hillary Clinton's an extremist now? Wow, I must've missed something.

I'm surprised there aren't any DM "you liberal pantywaist!" posts yet...

I'm surprised there aren't any DM "you liberal pantywaist!" posts yet...

Yeah, that guy's boyfriend really needs to start giving him blowjobs again.

yeah I've been wanting to move to Vancouver Canada or somewhere near Amsterdam in Holland - visited both and loved them - most likely Holland though.

Yeah, but if an American politician said the kinds of things the Japanese do about the issue, they'd be ruined.

No, I have problems with a country that no longer even seems to try to follow what it says.
What does it "say"? It's always been a shithole. The whole world is a shithole, and I can't stand any pretensions to the contrary.

As opposed to a country that nearly worships thousands of torturers?
I can't understand a country so wrapped up in consumerism, but yet can't be bothered to practice good customer service. Nor can it be bothered to treat those who serve with ANY ammount of respect.
I'm failing to make sense of this. If customer service is bad, why show respect?
It consumes so much that I think it consumes JUST to consume, in wasteful, unhealthy amounts just to prove that it's the best.

No. We consume because it makes us comforable. Any other nation with our resources would do the same. Check China in twenty years.

I can't stand this kind of bullshit.

US is the same crap every where else = http://img210.imageshack.us/img210/9675/dancenanayw1.gif(awesomeness)

You know, I sometimes have thoughts of leaving the US because of how bad people think it is, but then I realize that it's a stupid idea. A better plan is to STAY HERE AND MAKE IT BETTER SO THE PEOPLE DON'T WANT TO LEAVE!!!

You know, I sometimes have thoughts of leaving the US because of how bad people think it is, but then I realize that it's a stupid idea.

I want change, and I'm actually trying to change it one small step at a time.

I wish I as a single person could make things better myself, but one person can't make a difference.

I am too, it's the rest of this country that is just sitting there, complaining about whatever, and not doing anything about it!

I reiterate: if you don't like something about your country, fix the problem instead of running away from it!

Yeah, but if an American politician said the kinds of things the Japanese do about the issue, they'd be ruined.
But in many places in the US, the victim is still blaimed for the rape.

As opposed to a country that nearly worships thousands of torturers?

Some 70% of the Japanese public does not support Yasukuni-jinja or the enshrinement of the class A's... how many neo-nazis, Confederate sympthaiszers, KKK, etc does the US have now?

I'm failing to make sense of this. If customer service is bad, why show respect?
Even when the service is GOOD I see people treating them like shit. I went to eat out and listened to a guy scream at a waitress for a mistake the drink guy made.

No. We consume because it makes us comforable. Any other nation with our resources would do the same. Check China in twenty years.
Check Japan NOW. It's the world's second largest economy and it doesn't consume the insane amounts that I see the US does. Hell, a fricken LARGE in Japan is a SMALL here. I couldn't believe the amount of food and drink that is consumed here.

Or that I once ate it as well.

I can't stand this kind of bullshit.
You asked my reasonings, you don't like it? Tough.

I wish I as a single person could make things better myself, but one person can't make a difference.[/IMG]

One person can make a difference, no matter how small. What you improve on doesn't have to affect the whole country, as long as you make something better.

i saw a report where the US wil have a majority swap by 2010, i want whites to continue to be the majority, i want a genocide of ALL illegals, marijuana FULLy legalized, homosexuality illegal and punishable. Those are all extreme and unfortunalty for me never going to happen. The best I can do is move to a country in Europe in a location with few illegals and gays.

What exactly do you mean by "majority swap"?

I think that marijuana use should not be illegal, but genocides should never happen, and homosexuality is just a certain sexual attraction that a person may have. It is a perfectly natural thing to happen in any animal's population, humans included. I strongly disagree that it should be illegal, let alone punishable. That is just stupid.

I thought the "majority swap" was suppose to happen in 2050? Hispanics are going to be the majority or something? Sounds cool to me. Spanish, the official language of the United States! Oh I can hear the madness. :D

l0l

He means that whites will cease to be the majority of the population.

Er, I think he means he WANTS a genocide of illegal aliens, not that he wants to outlaw genocides.

yep, you got it. or at least deportation. go ahead, crap up Mexico not the US. there is a legal manner at which to enter.

I want to live in Scotland, not because I don't like the US, but because I like Scotland for some reason.

i said "extreme." there is NO hope for the US anymore

I agreed with 2 out of the 3 points you made. And personally, I think there is hope for the US. I'd rather have an optimistic point of view of the future than think that the current situation in our country will never improve.

I want to live in Scotland, not because I don't like the US, but because I like Scotland for some reason.

yeah, scotland FTW!

positive thinking! glad to hear that you think so!

But in many places in the US, the victim is still blaimed for the rape.
Yeah, but it doesn't hold up in court.
Some 70% of the Japanese public does not support Yasukuni-jinja or the enshrinement of the class A's... how many neo-nazis, Confederate sympthaiszers, KKK, etc does the US have now?

They don't make up thirty percent of the population.
Even when the service is GOOD I see people treating them like shit. I went to eat out and listened to a guy scream at a waitress for a mistake the drink guy made.

People should be alowed to get angry. Respect has to be earned.
Check Japan NOW. It's the world's second largest economy and it doesn't consume the insane amounts that I see the US does. Hell, a fricken LARGE in Japan is a SMALL here. I couldn't believe the amount of food and drink that is consumed here.
Oh, you're singling out food. Don't want to bring the Japnanese and their shopping habits into it.
You asked my reasonings, you don't like it? Tough.
You're reasoning is little more than mental masturbation.

Yeah, but it doesn't hold up in court.
Bullshit.

They don't make up thirty percent of the population.
Really? How odd... I seem to recall about a good 40% of the US saying that torture of suspected terrorist would be just fine.

People should be alowed to get angry. Respect has to be earned.
Ah, so you have no qualms about people coming up to you and screaming about something that had nothing to do with you what so ever?

Oh, you're singling out food. Don't want to bring the Japnanese and their shopping habits into it.

Still see less just pure consumerism than the US, even in Tokyo.

You're reasoning is little more than mental masturbation.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaand we're done here. Thanks for playing.

yeah, scotland FTW!

It's the deep fried mars bars that do it for me.

I've got to move out of here to some where else(probably somewhere in Europe). Does any one else ever feel this way? And state your reasons.

Buh Bye! :D



The only move I'd consider making is from Connecticut to either South Dakota, Texas, or Nevada (but still in the US).

I plan to move to Russia within 15 years.

Future in the mob?

That isn't based in racism, it's based on a lack of ethics, which is universal amongst all nations.

If they want to look like fucktards they can go right ahead. Wa can go fuck itself.

Oh, janks, got to love em.

For me? No.

The US is not a perfect place. Far from it. There are many problems yet to be solved. But America is my home. I was raised here. All my friends are here.

I love to travel, but, no matter where I go, the US will always be my nation.

sometimes I want to move to one of the countries my ancestors were from because it seems so appealing, but right now I like the U.S. Glory, Glory Halleluiah!/I'm really tired

That's nice, after the many long years your ancestors tried coming here. You're gonna leave. But hey if you don't like the country you're living in you don't need to live here. However, you shouldn't decide you're gonna leave when you're like what 14? Don't pay taxes or anything. So just wait until you've got a job an apartment/whatever. And just see how things turn out. You probably won't like europe if you like your money. But Europe is a nice place to have a vacation house. But if you want to move to a country where they don't tax you that much then Italy or Portugal would be your best bet. Oh and make sure before you go to the wherever you go to to defect, that you are fluent in atleast 3 languages.

Have fun

The problem with the USA is its just too large. No single man can control most of North America. Look what happened to Russia and the Soviet Union.

Nope. Never have. Good luck.

Don't. Trust me, I live there :D

What?



The usa is ok sometimes, I just miss Japan. But is america is still better than 99% of the planet....which isn't saying much because this planet sucks in general and no one place to me is better than any other.

I'm currently making plans to defect to Canada, pending the 2008 election.

How do you know Canada will be safe? It has oil, you know.

One person can make a difference, no matter how small. What you improve on doesn't have to affect the whole country, as long as you make something better.
But if that's not going to be enough, what's the point?

A guy can make his country better in some imperceptible way, but if another place is just a tangibly cooler place to be, what's wrong with liking that place more? The US will never be top of the heap for everybody.

If it is about political reasons, kindly refrain from entering the United Kingdom.
Oh - unless you are a staunch Monarchist, of course.


Otherwise: does Cuba or North Korea appeal to you?

Ha, you make it sound like the Queen actually has power. Shes more of just a front, a way to advertise to the masses. She has no real hold on the Government.

No, you guys have it all wrong, it used to be cool.


Then the Europeans found out about it.

Praise the Lord for this awesome Capitalist country, where I can spend my money freely...

Unless you want to buy crack, of course.
Or give it to Hezbollah, or buy pirated DVD's with it.

Our Father, who art in Wal-mart,
Hallowed be thy market.
Thy kingdom's come.
Thy business done, on the corner as it is in Wal-Mart.
Sell us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our credit limit,
As we punish those who try to limit it.
And lead us ever into temptation,
By delivering us advertising.
For thine is the market, and the power,
and the glory, for ever and ever.
K'ching.

Hey, who said I'm European?!


Damn, I'm a European New Zealander:(

I suggest you visit Europe before you decide to leave the US. You might find that the US is better than you thought and you will stay. Better yet try finding a job in Europe with your American education and its high unemployment/slow economy. Because you cant find a job, you cant live. Me thinks you just stay in America, it really is not that bad.

I love the US. I love Long Island, I love New York, and if I wanted to somewhere else one can go to Arizonia, or Key West, or Seattle, or anywhere else. That's a benefit of being so huge, there is a lot of variety to love about the US.

That being said, I do love London. At one point I was wondering "what is the use of trying to make huge amounts of money?" I've realized that the reason is so I can afford to vacation in London. :D

How do you know Canada will be safe? It has oil, you know.



I don't speak anything but English, and a plane ticket to Europe or Australia would be even more expensive than moving to Canada, so I'll have to risk it.

Er... if I read that right, I think that he said that all illegals should be genocided (is that even a word?) by illegals presumably meaning illegal immigrants.

Yeah, I misread his statement, it was really late when I posted my reply.

Ahhh just move to San Francisco or some other leftwing bastion...if thats what you want,,,if right wing pick a Place like Dallas or Houston...if a Moderate the PA suburbs of Philadelphia or Pittsburg...if your a communist or just like a very restrictive enviroment ...move to New Jersey..do you like your socialism try Vermont ....If you cant find a spot in the US to be moderately to very happy ...you are well and truly fucked .

I don't know. I'd kind of like to move to Canada because:

1. Free medicare
2. Polite people
3. Much safer

that being said I'm defiantly going to travel allot when I'm older and go see the world mostly because I will be in them military but I also have friends moving to Turkey and Australia *will never ever let go no matter how much they hate it*

Oh and every country has a feel to it like a personality I would advise you try to find that little nation-mate you never know what you may learn especially about yourself

If you don't love America, you should leave. No one's begging you to stay anyway, we don't need people like you.

If you are so tired of the country, then just leave already. What good is it to go on about how much you dislike the country, do nothing about it, and make no move to remove yourself from the situation?

If you don't love America, you should leave. No one's begging you to stay anyway, we don't need people like you.

is America the only country in the world that seems to force its citizens to love it or leave?
