Chances of moving to the USA? - General

[QUOTE=mysteryman;27818210]Here's an idea: You are still young and have plenty of life left, get a job and save money up. When you're 18 or so come take a trip to america and experience it first hand, if you like it well then start saving all your money up and settle down in the states.[/QUOTE] Get a JAWB? At the age of 15? This is not America! In Sweden one doesn't get any work-related experience until we're 28 and finished with our overly theoretical education! How can you not know this? [QUOTE=Jocken300;27818048]To clear some things up: I never stated that I wanted to move to California, I just pointed out that I had some relatives over there. And yeah, it would probably be easier for me to live in Sweden, but this country is going to hell in my opinion with its [b]socialistic piece of crap government wanting everyone in this country to have the SAME salary[/b]. And sure, as I said, the USA may not be flawless, but I just love the country so much. I can't really explain why, I just do. I'm 15, by the way.[/QUOTE] Our leftist FORMER government did not want that. Our right-wing government we have RIGHT NOW certainly DOES NOT want that! Or did you not know that Alliansen != Socialdemokraterna? What is so wrong with everyone having the same salary anyway? What happened to plain old work performance pride? Alas you are young and obsessed with money not unlike myself :) I would throw my values out the door quicker than you can say Jack Robinson and screw over anyone I did not know personally (and like) if I had the chance to become rich. Am I not a nice person?

I'll swap places with you, I live in Chicago.

[quote]- "Free" doesnt mean free; it means Tax's[/quote]Do you know what Sweden's taxes are like? The US has one of the lowest tax rates in the developed world. [quote]- We are Small Mexico & Somalia[/quote]Somalia, really? Explain how we're at all like Somalia, other than "There are some black people here and they scare me" [quote]- You need to know Spanish.[/quote]No you don't. I live in Texas, and it's not necessary at all. [quote]- Government is fucked up. - Hope you like stupid laws[/quote]Very vague [quote]- Something of yours WILL BE STOLEN[/quote]What?

America isn't just one homogeneous blob, every region and even state are different so it just depends what you want.

i want to live in america so i can buy a 44 magnum. i'm going to walk around bad neighbourhoods and pull guns on anyone who tries to fuck with me but i'd also like to live in america because i love the NFL and NBA and the shit tv over here ¬_¬

I am a realist, so i don't care about patriots and other, and i tell you OP, that you won't find anything that great and special in America that you won't find in Europe. You have to realize facts about both and decide. But one thing i can tell you for sure, don't listen to people on the Internet. Maybe except some exceptions.

[QUOTE=Maksim;27819704]It's most likely going to erupt past our lifetime. And the uk going to take quite a lethal hit too by the explosion, if not, with the ash/debris.[/QUOTE] It won't be directly be hit by the explosion though. And the major other difficulties.

How hard is it working as a psychiatrist? I'd rather do that than to constantly pack boxes everyday until I die.

[QUOTE=Lalelalala;27819807]We could always put you in prison for being a lazy fuck and make room for someone more valuable for society :O[/QUOTE] Or you could actually start paying your taxes to the society that has supported your family, education and welfare since you were born.

I'll probably end up moving to america one day due to a job I'm aiming for I must say however, it doesn't really look like paradise, and fox news looks excruciating. And I know I won't need to watch it, but the fact is a lot of others do and absorb every moment of it It would be nice to own a gun however. but that's just a small thing.

[QUOTE=Still 09;27819828]Or you could actually start paying your taxes to the society that has supported your family, education and welfare since you were born.[/QUOTE] What what? I do not understand what part of our argument has to do with me paying taxes?

[QUOTE=Lalelalala;27819807]We could always put you in prison for being a lazy fuck and make room for someone more valuable for society :O[/QUOTE] What right do you have to say that putting things in boxes is lazy? Someone's gotta do it.

[QUOTE=Olas;27819877]You didn't get what he was saying, did you?[/QUOTE] Pretty sure I did. But I'm wrong quite often.

[QUOTE=wuzzimu;27819291]Either come here to study first, or get a profession in a technical field. [/QUOTE] Don't come here to study. Take advantage of your free University education, then come here, so you don't end up in massive amounts of debt.

Sweden is much better than the US, stay there. But if you really don't like Sweden just move to another country in Europe.

[QUOTE=Pirate Ninja;27817989][img_thumb]http://i51.tinypic.com/28s4fnc.jpg[/img_thumb][/QUOTE] I was half interested in that until it started boo hooing that Noam Chompsky isn't in the media more.

why would you wanna move to a lesser country? europe is superior. meh, it's your life but i'm just warning you bro

If you're going to the USA no matter what, at least go to one of the good states. (People wise) Pennsylvania. Maine. Vermont. New Hampshire. New York is also acceptable, if you're not a city person there's a lot of suburbs and farmland there as well. I recommend the suburbs of Pennsylvania. (Say, Narberth) There you will find very friendly people whos ideologies are generally similar to the ones of Facepunch: Liberal, democratic. It's also wonderful climate-wise and all in all it's a suburban heaven separated from Derpland by the good states.

[QUOTE=Explosions;27819899]What right do you have to say that putting things in boxes is lazy? Someone's gotta do it.[/QUOTE] Wow. Just wow. Someone's gotta do it. EXACTLY! Why the fuck would I think that putting things in boxes is lazy? I just said it'd be good for everyone to have the same wages. Doesn't compute. I said you are a lazy fuck because YOU said you were and not because of the fucking job you chose! Reminder as you seem to have a REALLY short memory: [QUOTE=Explosions;27819614]If everyone had the same salary, I would just stop working or become a janitor or a guy who boxes things in a factory because I would make the same amount of money as a doctor [b]with none of the effort.[/b][/QUOTE] Wages: Payment for labor or services to a worker, especially remuneration on an hourly, daily, or weekly basis or by the piece. You would NOT get the same amount of money as everyone else every month if you sat your fat ass on your couch watching TV day in and day out!

The U.S. isn't that bad, because it's so diverse. You can't generalize us because we have Blacks, Asians, Whites, Hispanics, Rich, Poor, Middle-Class, etc. Were made out of immigrants.
