Quote from DT-waw:
anyone knows what % of total UK population consists of native Brits?
in London i had an impression that the figure is below 20% !
british weather is one of the most horrible in the whole world, after Norway, ireland and Denmark.
I'd say Italy is a fantastic country to retire, however most brits are not welcome there due to their drinking habits and overall lack of style

Name one billionaire who left the US for good and moved.
Thailand? LMAO! Have you seen how hard it is to get citizenship in that country? Thousands in taxes. Married or related. Nobody but a few people a year move to Thailand from the US. You are so full of crap. Go back to whatever shit hole country you are trying to praise (unless you are already there).
People should move to USA, Brittan, EU (not shithole greece or bad cities) or possibly stick around Austrailia, parts of Russia, big Chinese cities, UAE or Turkey.

Sorry, I didn't realize I was talking to a mentally deficient person. Are you one of those guys who wears the flag on his underwear? Sounds like it
It's 2012, so it's the era of "Chinese exceptionalism" and before it was the era of "European exceptionalism"!
Anyway, ever heard of Jim Rogers? And then there's the Australian billionaire Nathan Tinkler, rings a bell?
Oddly enough, the places you recommended are some of the worst places for living. It's not the 90s anymore, get with the times.

China is generally a shithole, tell me one jolly thing about China please. You can't even have a Twitter over there. Modern chinese cities are nice, if you like that. There was never such a thing as European exceptionalism - or at least let me know of a time when there was, because in the 1600s, 1700s, 1800s, 1900s and today Europe has been hell all year long.
Europe is a shithole as usual. WWII wiped out most of it, and now you are generally socialists with nothing to show. Where are your Apples? Googles? Mark Zuckerbergs? All you do is build public things nobody cares about and envy US products like Airbus. If you tell a frenchie to go startup a company, they will shittee themselves because they don't want to give up their ?20 k per year salary.
Like I said, move to the USA, Brittan or stick around the EU, Austrailia, Russia or China. Don't move to bumfuck egypt or Afghanistan like you are suggesting (Thailand -
US has the largest GDP by a gaping margin, and the US accounts for 25% of the world's GDP. 25% - nobody else comes near that measure. Certainly not South America or the EU.

Are you for real?
200 years ago Europe was the place where it was happening, most of US just consisted of cowboys cooking beans on a bonfire in the middle of nowhere. Anyway, I was mocking the "exceptionalism" theory, which is a sad joke. Your America-centric view on history just tells me about the state of education in the US.
For the record, Airbus has plenty of orders. I guess that's why half of the world orders planes from them, because they're unneeded, right...
Airbus is a public company, no more associated with the gov't than Boeing.
EU GDP is larger than the US GDP. There, I've done my part for the "educate one moron per day" project
