Time to GTFO?

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...

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

NZ is pretty good actually, they have some really awesome laws and some fucked up ones.

I'm honestly thinking of moving to australia. it just seems like it'd be a much more relaxed place to be than "big-brother england" where your every bleeding toilet break is logged. but then, i don't really know tbh. i've never been to australia, and could never afford a holiday there. if i was going to go, i'd have to save up for a couple months just for the flight there, and i'd have nothing when i got there. again, though, on the other side of that, it'd be a hell of a challenge and i react well in the face of adversity.

Come to Portland Oregon.

Otherwise know as the Amsterdam of the united states.

The youth knows this, doesn't vote, and doesn't give a shit.

Here here!

I've never been out of the country except an excursion to Mexico with my parents so they could buy cheap shit for a few hours. Still, I don't like the people of the U.S.A. even without a basis of comparison. There is no culture, and stupid people are proud to be stupid, and religious, and stubborn. There isn't really anything I can point out that is considerably better than what can probably be found in most countries. Do we really have more freedom than most modern cultures?

P.S. No entry for Human Suffering Index in Wikipedia. Also no success trying to quickly find a listing (for free).

I watched the celebrations of the german National Day of Unity today and it pissed me off to no bounds. They celebrate (the east-germans mostly I guess, while the west germans are being smug and lofty) that they now are free, all the while voting a criminally retarded and dangerous woman (albeit one might be confused at first glance) into the office of chancellor. Idiocy is not a trait limited to the US, or any country, but I must confess that I find it almost insulting every time I hear americans say things like "only in america could x have achieved y". Yeah. Right. Now please police another country.

People like coder0xff do give me hope for the world though, so thanks for that.

Is It? Being in Hollywood feels like Amsterdam if you have "the card".
Heck, we have "hash bars"- 3$ for an oil extact bong rip, or some regular good hash.

Rent here sucks though, so yeah, that.

[source-maps]

lol you can't compare any city in the U.S. with Amsterdam, try asking a policeman for a fire to light up your weed

Michigan is great place to live. Beautiful summers, beautiful winters. Besides the horrendous un-employment rate you can find very cheap housing. Need i mention the beaches?

Holy Shit?! another Michigander? I thought I was the only one on the entire site.

But I do think you're right, nice summers, alright winters (if you live in the east then you don't get much, if any lake effect snow ) and LoL real estate. I can buy some riverfront property outside of detroit with the money I have in my pocket right now.

I suggest Montreal. It's a great place to live. People are friendly and can speak french and/or english. It gives a nice european touch. Cost of life is not too bad either. If you are a hockey fan, this is the place! (winter is nice, summer is hot) Girls are the best looking in the world

Portland is awesome, I used to live there and I'm considering moving back soon.

[Riven]

I'm a product of the southern United States (South Louisiana) and I can't wait until I graduate with my degree, I'll be moving off to Seattle (North Western USA) in the next couple of years. The south might be an interesting place to visit, but I wouldn't wish it on anyone to have to live here; I sure as hell don't. But the rest of the country seems far better off. I'm a person of logic and science, so if your ideals are similar, please avoid Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, & Alabama (the primary ones).

[The Trooper]

Do'nt forget Florida. Its not as bad as the other places but it still sucks like hell over here... -.-

It's sad so many people dislike the place they live at. The degrading of culture is evident everywhere. Not too long ago people were so proud of their traditions and origins; but now everything has mixed into crap and nobody connects with the history of their home anymore.

Sure every place in the world has a crappy side to it, but I'm sure most places have a good side to them too. Think about the little things you liked as a kid growing up, and look around you - most of the are still there in many cases. It's really us who change much more than the place we grew up in, and if we focus a little and clear our heads of all the junk that's filling it as adults, we might enjoy the same simple and beautiful things we had in our hometown as kids. I usually succeed in doing this and I believe it's making my life so much better; the ability to enjoy beautiful and wonderful things, small and big, wherever I go.

By the way I know there are people who exchange houses for a time, like a family from the US exchanging their house with a family from Spain, for let's say six months. That sounds like a cool idea, I think some internet pages are devoted to this cause. Try looking it up

In Sweden, that's pretty much what people call a racist.

I know, it's weird.
