After reading The_Patriot's post about his dad's comments following Waco, and knowing my own feelings on the subject, have any of you considered relocating. If so, where would you move and why.
Yes. I actually made a half-baked attempt at it. I tried to stay to the UK - or anywhere in Europe so I could live in the UK. I went through Europe a few times. I lived and had a year-long visa in New Zealand that I didn't try to renew, but I saw other Americans try and they ran into the same problem I did in Europe.
Pretty much nowhere pleasant in the world actually wants Americans, and it is uniquely hard for them to gain residency or long-term/renewable visas. This is partially due to our own tendency to alienate other countries to the point where they don't want to form any serious ties with us.
I plan to try to move to the UK permanently again, but with a better game plan. You have to really, really want it just to get your foot in the door. Keeping it there is a whole nother battle. Trying to inch forward is a blitzkrieg.
