Originally by: Frank Horrigan Yes its another one of these threads.
Short history, I'm 21, male, very intelligent and capable person.. Getting an associates in Computer and Information Technology in 2 years.
After that I believe I will no longer be able to stand this country.
I need to get away from people telling me to worship their god everywhere I go. I need to get away from the people and american media that is rotting even my own brain. I need to get away from the horribly expensive medical system and anti-drug culture here.
Things I will need where I go:
A large city (500,000) people or larger. Lots of social things to do (Bars, woodland trails, house parties, pool halls)
Other then that I really don't care, I would prefer somewhere warm though, I ******* hate the cold. It's just entering the fall here in the east US and its already too cold for me.
Would prefer constructive feedback, not stuff like "Fix your own country!" I personally believe this place is unfixable, You'd have to be a world bank trillionaire to do any reasonable amount of change to this broken land.
Can you speak any foreign languages? If not, that kinda narrows down your search to either Canada, Australia, South Africa, or the UK.
So, we have Toronto, Vancouver, Perth, Sydney, Melbourne, Pretoria, Johannesburg, Cape Town, London, Liverpool, Manchester, Cardiff, Oxford, Cambridge, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Dublin, Cork, and Belfast. Not all of course have high populations but I'm sure you already knew that. Take your pick.
Now, if you want to live in another country with a foreign language, you better start learning their language now. If you think that you can get by all by yourself solely because English is the international language, you probably should just stay in the US until you've learned the language.
Living in the Netherlands i don't know many people who don't know English, and if you do want to learn Dutch, it's a Germanic language just like English and German, it shouldn't be too hard to learn.
Seriously. The only people at the moment i know that don't know English are a few Turkish immigrants.

1. Wont happen 2. Turn off the tv, and no one is forcing you to watch tv. 3. you know nothing of healthcare at all. just because it looks cheaper in other countries such as socialized means you also pay out the *** in taxes to have it. 4. you can't say your intelligent and do drugs, since any respectable company in the world does drug testing.
But if you are looking for a country, there is the netherlands.
3. I know my doctor just perscribed me a 600 usd a month cream for removing a wart on my hand. I called and complained about the price and he perscribed me a 200 dollar one. <-- Thats the medical system bs I'm trying to get away from, not the actual cost of it. Just the corruption and the lies that doctors spit out every day.
If you are paying this much maybe you should have looked at Compound W first which is 14.95 over the counter, no prescription needed.

Tried it, My warts are a little more troublesome, because they are in my fingernails... that compound W stuff is far too ineffective, I'm currently using blistering agents, injections, and liquid nitrogen to get them off. It's been 6 months, and they aren't showing much progress at all. (But thats another topic, if anyone knows a miracle cure for warts, please mail me)

Not really.
English is perfectly accepted in Scandinavia and most of EU.
I am not sure how an "associates" relates to a "bachelor" degree, but I guess most companies needs an IT guy. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------

An Associates degree is 2 years of studying, as opposed to a Bachelor's degree. However, our Bachelor degrees tend to be more general in the first two years. An Associates is a bit more specialized in 2 years, but not as deep as the last two years of a B. degree.

Couldn't have anything to do with Medicare, Medicaid, and nearly every single Health insurance company preferring to take their chances as opposed to pay for prevention of disease. And absolutely nothing to do with the people here being determined to live out another 3-6 months in absolute pain, with no hope of survival, for 1 million dollars.

Income tax each year is more than you make in multiple years.
Why the money ****ing contest? You DO know that your life can still suck even though you may make tons of money, right? The only place in the world where you live significantly better than everyone else if you're rich is in the US. That's why everyone in the US wants to be rich is because life for everyone else sucks ass; it's the only option for improving your life.
You don't need tons of money to live well, nor does it somehow increase your intellect or culture. In fact, I find the opposite is true.

Come to The Netherlands (Holland).
We have legal(-ish) weed, we are very tolerant of other cultures and we aren't a nation full of warmongering god worshippers.
Also according to studies throughout the years people here are happier than in almost any other country in the world.
Just know you can't get away with calling football soccer here, we're rather touchy about that. __________________________________________________

QFT really Amsterdam might seem like a nice place for you. Or any of the other larger cities in the middle/south of holland... The top has a few cheries, but only a few...
ohh and english is no problem at all here. We're probably the most english oriented country on this side of europe... ___________

There seems to be a certain *ahem* portion of the population of the Netherlands that isn't very accepting of either.. And it's getting worse

Dutch observers say that the NetherlandsĘ 1 million Muslims (about 5% of the population), largely from Morocco, coupled with anti-Israel leftists have contributed to a hostile climate for Jews in the Netherlands.
Not the dutch's fault, but our political movement is moving towards the tougher approach to such hate crimes. in that aspect you're better off in a smaller city or large town where there is a completely different consensus due to far less muslim or anti-israelites influences or masses if you will... ___________

Try to get an internship or something similar in the country you want to move to. Short enough so nothing is lost when you are dissapointed, but long enough to get some feeling with the country.
I would remove france from the list of european countries to go to, they usually refuse to speak english and are more busy burning cars atm. I live in the netherlands, but it is afaik also true for belgium and the more northern countries, pretty much everyone speaks english here. At the supermarket it wont be a problem if you only speak english. But if you are planning to really move here you should learn dutch. Tbh it is ridiculous to permanently reside in a country whos language you dont speak.
