'10 best countries to retire to' - from UK

well... i would consider the case where you are "still young" and capable of doing something and the case where the doctor is your best friend...
 
i don't believe US gov is not intrusive .. thats crazy... your way more private in Costa rica or somewhere where there isn't a camera on you and your entire internet connection can be gone through just because they say your a terrorist.. i do love america though.. lets hope these Academic fed jack fucks don't ruin it for us with there wonderful money wheel.. i'd retire to several countries fuck it... i wont the best of all of the world!
 
Quote from Random.Capital:

Compared to what? The US has one of the least intrusive gov'ts on the planet.

I'm not including most of the developing world in the comparison, so yeah - it's definitely worse in some African country, Dubai or China.
With Homeland Security, the gov't doesn't need to go through the typical procedures to get the permits to monitor your every action.
 
Quote from SUPERIOR1:

US has the cheapest gas besides for some middle east and Venezuela

Why would someone not want to live in the usa?

You have to look at it in context. For example, yes in England they pay the equivalent of $8 or $9 per gallon vs the USA's $4 per gallon, but everything in England is built pre-industrialized age, so you dont have to drive as far to get places like you do in the US. You can drive ANYWHERE in England on a tank of gas, doesnt matter where you start. In the US, You probably cant get out of your state on a tank of gas. In the UK people who live out in the "country" can still get to town in 5 minutes. In the US, if you live in the "country" its at least a 30 minute drive. Everything is spaced further apart here...our houses, our stores, everything.

That's so wrong, I'm not sure where to start.
