SO, who is ready to move to Europe?
I am damn close to picking everything up and moving over there.
I am unsure I want to be here when the economy crashes for good. Watching it now is like watching a building collapse in slow motion while the crooks in office try to prop it up until they leave office.
if John McCain somehow wins the election, I am a goner.

1. I am.
I want to move to Italy or somewhere along the French coast along the Mediterranean.

61. Me too. I think about that all the time.
It's hard, though, when elderly parents are in the picture. *sigh*

2. Count me in.
I've already been checking things out with friends there in Germany and the UK.

68. It'll hit Europe and Asia too though
Just like the last one did - one of the primary causes of the Weimar hyperinflation and subsequent rise of the Nazis was our financial meltdown and crop failures (as we were a huge food exporter at the time)
That said, living in Europe is nice. My parents lived in Brussels for most of my college years, so I spent my summers there.

16. I have to finish my BA this year, and then do my PhD
So, I'm kinda stuck here for the time being. Plus, I have two gravely ill parents and a little brother to think about. Otherwise, I'd move to France. I speak French and all that. But no, I'll suffer through it. No choice, really. I'm ok. I can knit and grow a garden and milk cows, so if worse comes to worse, I'll move back to the country and eke out a life. :)

30. Isn't that what everyone was saying 4 years ago as well?
Who's that trip-trapping on my bridge...

72. I would love to move to the UK or France
Perhaps Germany too.
Spain seems really nice, too.
Oh heck, if McC&P get elected, I'd be ready to be anywhere but here.
Note to our Canada: I love you, but you're too cold! :x

80. B'ah! I'm moving to New Zealand next month.
I left the US five years ago. Best decision I ever made. I'm still registered to vote though... if my absentee ballot ever comes through.

A massive influx of DUmmies could only hasten the decline of what is left of Europe.

Wait till one of them gets all snarky with a Muslim in a coffeeshop, gets a knuckle sandwich, and then spends an afternoon in court getting reprimanded for religious intolerance. They'll be PINING for the fundies they make fun of here.

It's a nice place to visit, but I sure as Hell wouldn't want to move there.

don't take it for granted that you will always be free to exit the united states.
DUmmies always worry about leaving the United States; they never seem to give a thought to what country might take them in. Your options are somewhat limited when you have been a burden on society your entire life and have shown no ambition to change that.
Their position is that American taxpayers don't give them everything they want, and they think some other country's taxpayers would be happy to give them more. They need to do some research on that.

Hey Dummies, you might want to stay away from Britain.

Why Europe? Don't you enlightened ones want to explore the natural beauty of central Africa?

Why saddle that continent with the DUmb****s? Send the DUmb****s to Antartica. It's easily more inhospitable than anywhere else on Earth . . .

Yep, there is a lot of wide-open spaces in the Namib desert just begging for a DUmmy commune to be developed there.

Because they want to be close to dope and white people.
