What country do you live in now and where would you like to live?
I'm from NZ and to be honest would like to stay here - if a move was on then it'd be to:
1. Japan
2. Italy
3. Fance
Originally posted by StarrmanNope. I would go somewhere, perhaps Britain, perhaps somewhere else, don't get me wrong, I have nothing against the honest, hard-working immigrants who come here and help our economy and do not bump the social welfare. However, as Nargaguna implied, there must be some correlation between Britain's being the worlds biggest immigrant magnet and our lax benefits system.
And it couldn't possibly be because of oppression or war, or appalling standards of living that they might have to endure. So, being a man of principles, you'd stay put rather than hope for a better life if you were in their shoes?
To get back on topic, I like it here, but if I had to leave (if the likes of Redmike became a majority) I'd probably go somewhere with a nice climate, like a mediterrainean country. Australia seems pretty appealing too though.
I Live in the U.S. - I have lived in Canada and found the people there to be very friendly. I liked the way they talked... They say "A" a whole lot. Some of the fellows I worked with called themselves Newfies, and were an awesome group of guys. They were really hard for me to understand though.
I visited Japan for 3 weeks and had a wonderful time. A very different culture but they were very friendly as well. I did get the vibe that they thought Americans were a little nuts. They let Americans get away with more or at least tollerate us a little more because the attitude seemed to be that we just didn't know better.
I personally would stay in the States because its home and I am close to having my house paid off! 🙂
Originally posted by chancremechanicQuite a shock that the nation has such good sportsmen and women when you consider the majority of the population are obese...... Since living here I have realised that Aussies are wannabe Americans. If they could get rid of their arrogance, ignorance and racism it would be a much better country.
Well, according to satellite images, about 70-75% of OZ is arid, right? East and west cosat are green, right? The north is tropical, but is small, so what did I misstate?..And yes, OZ is full of fat,loud-mouthed assholes....just like the US
Funniest thing I have seen since coming to Oz: An Aussie and a Kiwi fighting over a pair of velcro gloves😲

I like the picture of you with your boyfriend, Chancre on this website.
What a picture of marital bliss you are.
Originally posted by chancremechanicJust off the topic a little, but for the non-American's here could you explain the term 'rump-ranger'?

from hawaii and traveled around the world a couple times...been to all the states, every continent (except antartica, which really shouldn't count), and a good portion of the coutries out there. it would really be a hard choice because like someone said everywhere has it's good and bad spots and of course it depends on what you like to do. i would definetly like to live in a non-urban area because urbanization is what breed the loud, obnoxious, fat people you find in all countries, not just the US and Auzzieland. Saying that I may have to base my answer on the women, the surf, and the parties since that's what I really like to do. So, in no particular order I would have to say...
Costa Rica in a non-tourist town. Still pretty cheap if you can get out and the Costa Rican chicas estan mui, mui atractive, y no timido. tambien hay olas buenas, y fiestas con toda que necesitas.
Indonesia - Although the party scene was lacking the women are gorgious, things are still cheap, and some or the more amazing natural wonders, particularly under the water, i've ever seen in one place.
Italy - it was just too fun. I guess I don't know if I would live there. Since we're dreaming anyway maybe just a summer home.
I should say Hawaii but I'm to in tune with all the problems and conflicts here. Like rich, fat a$$holes building millions dollar beachfront homes over sacred local sites in front a surf spot and then try to not only keep people off thier land but restrict acess to the water. it is still a sick place but in another twenty years it will be like any other metropolis on the planet, being as the consumer/western/1st world loves monoculturism.

Yes he has...he's part Italian and has been there more than several times, as well as I. Yes, Italian women are pretty but high maintenance....my Mom was Italian....and pretty
I think Italian women are generally stunning, high maintenance or not.
You want high maintenance... date someone from here!
