Time to GTFO?

[F0xHunter]

I cant see anything negative in living in Norway. The goverment gives me almost anything health- and school-related for free. An example, my braces costed 20 000 nok (3303 usd), but we only had to pay for 5 000 nok (825 usd). It's free to go to school, no need to buy books when we go to Videregående (School from 16 -19). We even get a free computer when we start at Videregående!

There are a lot of prejudices though. Many thinks I am a Nazi, only because shave of my hair every summer
Or that I have cancer. If they think that, they generally avoid me.

Besides form the prejudices, I think that Norway is a really good place to live in.

I live in america, and i really hate it. Maybe its because i live in texas but the culture is absolute shit, seoul and london were the best two cities i ever lived in and i might move one of them after i graduate from college and get my stuff paid off.

Well, I really don't like the surveillance mentality you've got going there (GB) that seems to be mimicking Big Brother more and more. Sure, every country has its cons and things to piss you off, but some countries still are better than others, all things considered. Just gotta balance it all up.

I second your opinion, Norway is a good place to live, IF you have the ability to ignore!
If you ignore all the suicides, accidents and financial fuck ups... you can live well... but most of us can't ignore the fact that things could have been done alot more different here.

I like Texas, maybe the culture isn't anything majestic, fancy, classy or sophisticated, but you feel like you know one another and feel closely inter-tied. The thing about America is the way they have this wierd mentality where they think they are a better country than others, and act like the big brother or sister of other countries. Very snobby or elitist. But that's only like, what, 30%? I would suggest Mexico but...I can't, seeing as it's being compared to mother friggin Iraq and stuff, do to all the damn Narcs. I think it'd be nice to live in Spain, or maybe the UK. They both seem like nice countries, but then again, I've never been there. I always hear Australia is nice, which is why I find it odd that you guys don't like it there. Plus, Kangaroos FTW! They are like cows to you guys, right? Except they are useless for obsolutely nothing? I wonder if you can drink Kangaroo milk....Yum.

[Hollow]

the UK is nice i guess, keep to the coasts and main cities though, the countryside is pointless and the locals are usually weird or completely undecipherable

the hardcore/punk music scene in the US is about a million times better than in the UK, i'm very jealous and would love to live there for a year a or two to soak in all the bands and shows..there are hardly any bands worth mentioning over here, and none in my city..sucks

I would basically live anywhere where there is good music to experience...though I doubt if i could permanently move out of the country as I would rather be closer to family and friends.

Australia is fucking awesome if you can deal with:

a) Smoke (Unless in the city, or in the centre of a main town) from bush fires...
b) Aussie spelling
c) Scorching heat
d) Cold Weather
e) People pointing out Kangaroo's even if they're exceeding the Human Population of Australia, and INCREDIBLY boring.

Other than those, it's pretty awesome. Unless you really want piles of toy guns, that're made of metal. None of those here...

What about deadly spiders and snakes and other such creatures? Don't Huntsman spiders (which are harmless to humans) often find their ways in to peoples' cars and cause accidents by startling the drivers? Then you have those really small spiders that have some kind of bacteria on their legs that can kill your flesh, and their bite injects a pretty dangerous venom. :0

Sorry...I REALLY hate spiders...however I like snakes and shit.


Anyway, you could always try the United States of America!

we may have a corrupt government, tons of fat people, the most dept, and two wars, but we're FREE!

If I were to move, I'd look into going to Denmark. It's got the best ranking on the Human Suffering Index (i.e, Least amount of suffering )

[Mighty Monk]

I think you should stay in England. Or move there. You just said the UK, so you could be in Wales for all I know.

I live in Norfolk, England. Largely countryside really, but the city, Norwich is pretty good as cities go, or you can live in one of the towns around it!

[Ennui]

Although, from my view, I want to go somewhere else, i guess America isn't bad. We made pepsi...

Oh yeah, word of advice, stay away from the southern part of America, not a lot of charming people down here, I'm hoping to move when I get older.

How much have you been in the North? Sure, we have a lot of rednecks and conservative shitbags down here, but on the whole people are much friendlier to each other on the street, on the roads, and in service professions than they are up there. If you try to talk about politics or something you'll probably get frustrated, but southerners are some of the nicest people ever. Especially black southerners. I love living down here despite being the polar opposite of the general Southern political mindset.

I would always recommend someone to move to the US. We have our own huge share of problems, but it's a great country and great people and I love it anyway. If you really want to move out of the UK, consider it. I promise that the overseas cultural/media representation of Americans is misleading (which most Europeans who have visited here will back me up on). All of the European students I've become friends with in their time studying abroad at my university loved their time here. Just don't go to Texas.

I visited Sweden and Norway a few years ago as well, and loved every minute of it. Scandinavia in general is a very laid back place. I'd like to live there someday... I also absolutely love the laws about being able to move freely through other people's property, and camp and forage on it for a limited amount of time as well. The idea that the land belongs to everyone is beautiful and pretty much the exact opposite of the American mentality which is THIS IS MY GODDAMN LAND AND YOU CAN'T COME HERE UNLESS I GIVE YOU PERMISSION.

NO FUCKING WAY.

You know Attleborough?

[RefaelBA]

Everybody's complaining! You think YOU'VE got problems? I fucking live in Israel man! STFU

[Cunnah]

<--- lives in wales...is welsh...can't leave teh country i love

[theCommie]

Coming from a shitty post-Soviet country myself, I've been living in the US for the last eight years - I hate it, unless you're here to make money (basically everyone who's not a descendant of the original colonists or natives), stay the fuck away; and even then, stay the fuck away. Absolutely nothing to be proud of in the culture (I wouldn't even use the word, since there is essentialy none.); educated elitists live in the Northeast, the Southerners are extremely nice but Bible-whipped and politically stubborn, the Midwest is one giant corn field, and the West is the home of the decadent entertainment industry. Money is king; not a citizen? Prepare to hold thirteen jobs at once, working yourself to death and still be treated like shit. Everyone throws a shitstorm over everything; but nothing is ultimately changed. The government doesn't know its head from its ass - whether Republican or Democrat - all they do is call the other side conservative or liberal and ignore any issues at hand. The youth knows this, doesn't vote, and doesn't give a shit.

Luckily, I'm in the process of moving. But then again, my opinion has been colored by my experiences.

Fuck Australia, New Zealand is way better

a) No smoke from bush fires
b) Kiwis can spell (unlike you aussies)
c) It 's not to hot and not to cold (apart from in winter)
d) We don't have Kangaroo's

We only had a government for 9 years that totally screwed our economy and now no one can afford anything
Plus we have Brian Tamaki
