Does This Offend Anyone?
    #14019662 - 02/24/11 12:19 PM (12 years, 11 months ago)

I'd very much like to GTFO out of the U.S. and that's what's gonna' get me through school. I'm not happy here, it's difficult to identify myself with people, and frankly all this capitalism makes me wanna'vomit. Every vacation (anywhere) to Europe has always been awesome to me! Maybe it's just easier(?) I guess, oh and the lifestyle change is just all too appealing. I've been contemplating it for ages now and I've only recently come to the conclusion that it'll inevitably happen, inevitably. I've had my country of choice decided for a long time now, I've been learning a very similar language for years, it'll all come together and I'm smiling at the thought of it Shroomery:)

Just that it's really hard to tell everyone that you'll eventually be abandoning them for the Unknown. You know?

I feel pretty similar. My state is turning into a fucking police state.

If you are worried what your friends and family will say, tell them exactly why you want to leave. My friends and family understood, alot of them even agreed with me.

You gotta just do it though. Its your life, dont let others hold you back from obtaining what you want in life. You only get one chance at this.

Yea, I actually am in a similar situation. I'm generally just tired of my life, I hate every minute of my existence really. But I don't really know how I will be able to just tell my family and friends that I'm just leaving because I'm sick of shit. Like, if you get a really good job somewhere, people can be like "Well, he's following his dream." But what we are doing is just saying "Fuck you motherfuckers" and living somewhere else.

I'm with you on this one. After seeing that video on the Goldman Sachs people, I got horribly disgusted with the greed and schemes people pull to rake in money from EVERYONE all at once.

I predict that I would be more at peace away from here, at least in another non-3rd world continent.

I can understand your desire to get away, change of scenery, etc.  If you would truly be happy in another country then that is the only reason you need.  However, I, and many others might feel that you are essentially jumping ship.  Sure, the US is fucked, but we need good ppl to stick around to fix it.  The other way to think about it is that this is fucking survival of the fittest, the US is dying, screw saving america, gtfo now and worry about yourself!

You know how black people always talk about wanting to go to Africa and say they wanna visit the "motherland" well I wanna return to my "motherland" aswell! Europe or Bust baby!!! thats more the way I feel about it than "jumping ship" I feel like I was never meant to be here in the first place but I guess I can see what you mean somebody has to try and bring this place back from the garbage heap....

Oh wow, thank you all for the moral support:heart:

I hate coming off as anti-American, but I'm sure I do anyways. I'm probably just too critical. Vacationing somewhere and living somewhere are two completely different things, that I'm aware. But it won't prevent me from trying!

Good luck, maybe instead of abandoning them take a few with you:wink:,
after all, moving overseas isn't a cakewalk. Capitalism is everywhere by now, and if you have trouble identifying with people here, Europe or any other country will be no easier because your frame of reference will be wholly American. It would be harder than you may think to abandon your American values and move to a place with an obscure language. What country have you chosen? It seems as if it would be a good idea to learn that language instead of a 'similar' one.
I've shared your sentiment for leaving for a long time but I've realized I have many responsibilities here, I won't likely have money to leave for many years, and because of this I've decided to be content and look at the good things about the country. It really is not at all a bad place. It may be a misstep to go around and point out it's flaws and expect to identify with people here (or is it a self-fulfilling prophecy that you can't?).
You mention that the lifestyle change that is appealing. I hope you realize that a lifestyle change can be made without leaving the country.
And no, this doesn't offend me, like I said, I've felt this before:laugh:.

It'll be the Czech Republic. I've been there twice, been to Slovakia twice too. I've been to smaller cities in both and had literally no problems getting around and trying to talk to people. I'm learning Polish because it was my dad's first language and it's extremely useful in both countries! English more often then not tends to fail, so it's nice to have a common vocabulary to fall back on.

I've tried to make a lifestyle change here, and even contemplated moving elsewhere in the US, but it seems like it'll be the same bullshit with different scenery, right. I don't know, maybe I'm wrong. I'm destined to find out though:) Thanks for the input!

Its not that bad :shrug:

we get pampered here compared to other countries i think.

btw you do realize that its all from the inside right? even if you move to a different planet you will still be faced with some of the same obstacles. I understand though. :thumbup:

hope everything goes well for you.:heart:

This...but hey, you know best, try to live for a couple of months in Europe and see how you get used to the country you choose. And come on people, the motherland awaits you, I am still waiting for my great-great-great-grandfather to return from the new world, here's hoping he'll do it this century.

Try coming to slovenia, it's very nice. I just love the way you can light up some weed in a park and nobody is bugging you, nobody is making random checks on the highway to see if you have drugs. If you happen to be near, definetly post something so i could contact you :laugh:

I think you'll find a sympathetic audience here. I can certainly relate to the sentiment. There used to be a lot of things I detested about the US, especially having been snared and tangled in the justice system a few times. I don't have any allegiance to the state or a huge percentage of my countrymen. Despite all of this I like it here though. There's so many beautiful places here, so many opportunities for the types of stuff I enjoy. All the bullshit is just cost it comes at, and compared to most places in the world it really ain't all that bad. You just have to focus on the things you like and brush off the rest of it, and that's true of anywhere.

nationalism is bullshit.  if someone calls you an america-hater or unpatriotic, who cares?  that's just their own closed-minded view.

i like the values that the USA was founded on but nowadays things are really fucked up.  there are some redeeming values though.

patriotism and nationalism are a disease IMO.  blindly following anything is just retarded.  real patriots should reserve the right to criticize their country.

Why not come to England? everyone else is here and they keep coming in DROVES; we have Poles, Russians, Lithuanians, Latvians, (strangely very few Germans and Checks come here though?) there's Chinese Thia's Pakistanis, Indians, some West Indians, and loads of others too, they just keep coming, hundreds of thousands if not millions each year.

Its funny though because everyone seems to moan about the place once they get here (including them thats been here all along???), they moan about the free state provided cradle to grave security, they moan about the free health service, moan about how many more free State-Benefits the next guys getting and they MOAN about the weather more than anything.  Worst of all they refuse to integrate, its closed community's and sort of sectarianised, its true there's little trouble between these separate community's but it ain't exactly being 'British'.

What nobody seems to moan about is the fact there's 70 million on this tiny Island and you cant hardly move for the amount of people here.

I know America seems more heartless towards its subjects in terms of provision for their individual personal security and well being but our little country is turning the "American Way" right now anyway.

Our nation cant afford its Nany-State any longer (because there's to many people here) and its being dismantled by the Tory's this very second.  When its gone we will all be in a much worse situation than you Americans, at least you have space to spread out to try to find and make your way.
