rest of your life, where?

I sometimes wonder where women and men meeting up to have IR relationships wish to live and spend the rest of their lives? Would you willing to cross over to another country, make that cultural leap to be with special person? If peradventure you meet someone, where would you prefer to live and spend the rest of your life?

 

I'd preferably stay exactly where I am now, no hardships involved in it, can't see myself in the middle of nowhere enduring things that aren't necessary to the cause.

So I'd be looking for someone who loves Rural Villages in the Kent countryside

 

Hardships, what are these hardships in concrete terms? I wish you would give examples of what you consider these hardships that can't be endured for the cause of IR relationship?

And did you say middle of nowhere, Bug?

Where would the delineation of middle of nowhere start, and which areas/places would we circumscribed? The places, countries, and continents that do not fit your idea of somewhere?

 

Anwhere not developed to the same standard as the country I live in, anywhere not racially tolerant or where living standards are poor.

America Would be a No, No for me to live, I would fear for my children, racial tension is much more prevalent there.

You have to think of the welfare of any offspring you would produce, what would fit there needs properly?

 

I see....you used economic and social factors. I suspect Americans might disagree with the social factor, I mean the racial tension you mention. Not sure why, but that is just my suspicion. I would leave Americans to do justice to that if they disagree.

Does Australia fit middle of nowhere? What about Africa, I believe that seems to fit the area where living standards are poor?

What about the Nordic countries, they seem to fit the bill here, am I right, or is language a barrier?

 

I prefer to return to Canada. I've lived outside of my country for nearly 2 years and miss it dearly. I love so much about Canada that I would not want to give up such as the health care system, ethnic tolerance, winter & snow sports, beautiful coasts, affordable housing, social safety net, education, just a great life. Plus I like both the official languages.
I miss it!

 

Yeah, tell'em.

I've lived in 3 continents and 5 countries. Outta the five, it's a toss up between Canada and Norway as to where I prefer to live. It seems though that no matter where I go and how much fun I have, I always can't wait to get back to Canada.

 

There is no doubt in my mind that I would move if that was necessary to be together.I am old enough to know that love of a deep deep kind only comes our way once or twice in a lifetime.

Having said that, NZ is one of the best places to be in the world for IR relationships.

 

I vote yes for
Australia (depends where though)
Canada
Most of Western Europe

It's a small list lol

 

are you serious?
Have you taken a look at your prime minsters, royalty and parliament? the U.K. has yet to have one non white prime minster. I remember seeing the parliament for the first time and thinking holy crap and I thought our congress had problems representing minorities. Believe me, the racial tensions are far less than presented in the media and we have the president to prove it.

 

because of my 2 children and their relationship with their father, moving wouldn't be an option, so someone would have to come live in australia. not that it would be a hardship...i live in one of the most livable cities in the world & like canada, our healthcare system and lifestyle is amazing.

 

pffft ironic for one person to say that U.S.A has that bad of racial tension with a black president in comparison to never having a non white prime minster!
but that is just me ....


any how, I'd stay in the U.S.A. and would not leave. The truth is you have a better chance at being president, governor, senator than any where else no matter your race. We have evidence to prove it. If, however, I did have to leave, I'd go to Canada.
Canadians are like americans but with funnier accents in certain parts of the country. I kid I kid. but I know not to live in Calgary and trash talk their hockey team. I'd get kicked out of my friend's house in a second over there. lol

 

You haven't had a Woman president so it seems in that area you are far behind the times.
If there was a strong enough candidate, I think we'd have one again.

Obama has no bearing on the realities of the common man, I doubt anyone is getting treated differently as a result of his election.

Over here politics is a class war not a race war IMO, if a Black guy is rich enough and had the right connections we would have had a black Prime Minister already, but I think those guys aren't interested in Politics they have better things to do, so they leave it to the silver spoon muppets who can't hold down a proper job.

I personally would still vote labour if a black man/woman was in charge, it's who they stand for that makes the difference.

My Nan would still vote conservative if the leader was a black guy, because he's conservative.

Anyway my point is.......having Obama as a mascot says nothing about ur race issues

 

This is not a good political analysis, and your knowledge of American society seems to be as good as mine of British society. It should be noted that I've never been to England, so I won't make any unfounded assumptions about the character of race relations there. I do know for a fact, however, that there is prejudice against Muslim immigrants and current tensions between blacks and South Asians.

I'd also say that blacks in America have accomplished more outside of sports and entertainment than their counterparts in any part of the world. Actually blacks here have accomplished more in literature, art, business, politics, and the sciences than whole nations in their entire history.

 

My reply was on racial tension and not gender issues so this is irrelevant to what you first posted.
Secondly far behind is a joke. Our previous speaker of the house was a woman. She is literally now known as the most effective speaker in modern history. She ran congress which makes the rules for our government. We are much farther than you think.

As of his election, we have gained more money towards HBCU'S. As a result of his election, we passed a universal health care that could not be done before. Our all star speaker of the house Nancy pelosi(A woman!) was the one who got that stuff through. The president holds little power in comparison to Nancy Pelosi in our congress. There are plenty of things that were done that could not have been done if Obama was not elected.

I really don't think you understand the u.s.a. very much. This guy being elected showed that there was progress that was made. It showed that any one of any color could indeed be elected to the presidency. Something that has still yet to be proven over there with the prime minster or royalty! You can continue to minimize our accomplishment but you have yet to show that it can be done over there with the prime minster or the royalty. You just have a statement that it could be done and not any evidence to back it up. Talk is cheap and free.

Could have, would have, should have, but didn't!

It is also a class issue over here and I am sure there are racial issues over there as well. I don't know how it disappears in any country that publicly accepted slavery IMO!

Also, I am tired of hearing this bearing of the common man. Every person's story is different. You will never have someone understanding every common person. It is simply impossible to do. This is a nation of over 308 million people. We are the third most populated country on the planet and are diverse not only in our people but in our lands. It is impossible to know how the every common person is in Florida in comparison to California or any other state. It may be possible in the U.K. but not in nations with such a vast amount of people and land.

 

I knew it was only a matter of time before the flag-wavers came out, LOL

Sorry to break it to you, but there are places abroad where the quality of life is leagues better than in the USA. I love my country but for an individual's lifestyle, it has gotten worse.

 

It really doesn't matter where I live, just as long as I have piece of mind.

 

gotten worse? How so? in comparison to other countries


I'll agree that there are better countries(Brazil and canada looks nice) to live in but we have far less issues in comparison to much of the world.

 

If you're referring to our standard of living, then yes wages (one component) have stagnated or fallen against the rate of inflation for over thirty years now.



Furthermore, Americans don't generally possess an adequate understanding of how squeezed we are after decades of supply-side economics and rising income inequality.



That said, no other society in human history has rewarded individual talents so well as what you find in the United States. The problem is when the wealth that's produced from such a productive economy is hoarded by a very small number of people.
