I actually admire those people in the article for having the fortitude to move to another country if they feel it is the best for them. It's the people that stay here and continue to whine about how they would be so much better off in another country but do nothing about it that annoy me.

Those and the people who jump at the opportunity to be offended by something.

Maybe poly should take up a collection so that all the people who just can't stand this country can move. It would be worth it to stop their constant whining about things. If I had as many objections about a place as some of you do, I would just move regardless of the cost and the temperture. If such small things keep you from moving then your objections to your current place of residence must not be so bad.


Shut up or put is what I say.
My goal is to turn America into a Utopian paradise of equality, justice, and freedom... hence... making all the dumbass conservatives pissed off so they want to move to somewhere else.

Well being a dumbass conservative I was stupid enough to think that was my goal also. Stupid of me to want to create opportunity when we can just redistribute wealth. When does the next bus...uh I mean luxury lear jet leave anyway?

WooHoo! We agree on that totally! Hence why we have dumbass, normal, and smart voters in every election. The trick is trying to get the dumbass politicians out early in the process. It actually works pretty well on a national level (with a few notable exceptions in Congress).

The trick for the politician is to try to address a broad constituentcy while staying within the parameters of the philosophy that got them elected.

In this debate, the question boils down to has GW done this. IMO he has covered a lot of ground with a lot of groups and stayed within the philosophy that got him elected. As long as America buys into that philosophy it will be hard to unseat him. But...that is why we vote every 4 years; just so we can make sure.

MTG did you know the average rent in LA County is now 1326?

The average income to live in Orange County is now $87,000

It's turning into Silicon Valley...

Gotta wait 14 years after I reestablish my stateside domicile, which I will do shortly so I can do my part to give that bled-out, pasty-faced sonofa***** Davis the boot.

Then again, since I would actually have to sign the documents that would have me run for elected office of any sort, the chances of my running for anything are just about a little less than zero.

Well, techically, that's what real Mexicans use to refer to Mexican-Americans, especially when they come down here and think they're all superior.

LA is especially bad when you consider how many real shitheaps pull that average down.
