How do I get out of this madhouse?

The grass is always greener...

That is true.

Anyway, I'm planning to move to Sweden.
(No offence to the Aussies, Yanks and Canuckistanis. :p)

I'm going through an 'Introduction to Swedish' book, and I'm typing on a Swedish layout keyboard. I have to say, it's interesting. I like a challenge.

Anyone from Great Britain who thinks their country is screwed up, needs to take a serious look at the world around them.

If you don't want to live here because it's too 'OTT' for you, perhaps you could swap places with someone from somalia right now? Perhaps someone from calcutta? from North Korea? from rural Russia? from Iraq?

Quit worrying about what you don't have, and the relatively minor problems in government and wake up to the fact that in comparison to the rest of the world you are EXTREMELY lucky to have the luxury of living in the UK.

I understand what you're getting at but, that is not the point of the thread. It's probably very hard for all of those people to do something about their situations. However, Helix has the power to move somewhere and, if that makes him happier, I don't see whats so bad about that.

I don't want to argue or tell you you're wrong but I just thought you were a little harsh.

Neeways, Helix, I don't know what to say. Though Im in the US, I can't particularly recommended it. Here in Michigan my dad hasn't been able to find a solid job for 6 years. Luckily we only have another 1 and 1/4 years before George Bush is outta here, maybe the US will be pretty nice at that point... I've heard (a lot from here) that australia is nice, and from what I've seen and heard, it sounds like a real great place.

Here in the US, the government needs to make a major turning point away from being for themselves for better for the population. Greed is currently in the white house, and stupidity is dancing naked on the roof (but the secret service has it protected)

Ireland looks beautiful from what i've seen, I can guarantee I will vacation there someday, as well as new zealand.

I'm kind of turned off by england. Not sure why.

Switzerland looks like a very good place to live. They speak french there, don't they? or is it german? italian?

Upper california and oregon are verrry nice places to live (but job opportunities don't really... exist) as well as washington and seattle (my family took a vacation on peugeot sound a few years back, and we all LOVED it).

I hope africa improves, for its own sake. If you are reading this on your computer, in your climate controlled house, in a city where your daughter has less then a 50% chance to get raped and get aids, then don't ever consider yourself unlucky. You're better off than half of the world already.

Overall, the grass IS always greener, but sometimes it's really really brown over here.

Id like to move to oregon or north shore, BC. Wanna know why? ....THE MOUNTAIN BIKING BABY!!!!

Yeah sorry I was a little harsh - I reread my post and reallised that it seemed like I was personally flaming the OP! I wasn't trying to flame, I was trying to suggest that things really arn't that bad when you look at the rest of the world.

Peace,

Sweden = Swedish (Svenska? I've wondered about that)

Upper cali and Oregon ARE extremely wonderful areas, but mostly Oregon. I actually plan on living in Oregon before I seek immigration to some country in the EU (I'm thinking Germany or Sweden). Maybe I'll just move to some Nordic country and enjoy life in my ancestors' homeland.
