Would you leave the U.S. if given the opportunity?
Let's say someone offered you one-way airfare to anywhere (your choice) and enough to survive for a couple of months until you got settled, would you leave?

1. No.

Translation: No welfare if I moved.

2. A lot of factors would enter in and the offer alone would not be sufficient...

But, surely I would consider it.

Do I get free shit? If so... I'm outta here!!!!

3. I'd want citizenship.

Translation: I want free stuff!

What follows is a bunch of comments about panama... won't bring them over.

5. No, because I couldn't live with myself running away while millions suffer here.

Subtle message to the dump: I got money, you don't.  I can neither confirm or deny this is one of my moles.

7. No.

My family is here.

Translation: I get free shit here!

12. Yes...Vermont is looking way more progressive!

Although I don't know if they'd let the likes 'o me over the border.

15. It would take more than a bribe of a couple of months pay.

But Canada looks pretty good. And they are choosy about who they let in for residency.

This dummie supports letting a bunch of illegal hispanics getting citizenship here?

19. I can't decide between England, Ireland or Canada

That and lack of money is keeping me here. But if I hit a magic lottery, boom, I'd be out of here tomorrow.

Translation: I can't get free shit there and they won't let me in!!!

22. No, but try this on...

If you were given the opportunity to have one teabagger and his whole family (two generations up and two generations down) deported to a different country at government expense, would you?

And if you were allowed to deport a second teabagger family at your own expense, would you do that too?

I bet the "teabagger" would get in no problem since they pay taxes!!!!

24. NO. If I move to another country ... America might attack it.

And then I'd be screwed.

So I'm staying.

Translation: I get free shit here so no.

Blue_In_AK (40,108 posts)
25. No, I already live in another country...

...Alaska. At least all the shippers seem to think this is another country. They always say "free shipping within the continental United States," as if Alaska isn't on the continent.

(Sorry...pet peeve.)

Move to mexifornia!!!

34. nothing to do with politics - but I just find life outside the U.S. mainland more interesting & fun

I find most of what is often considered "mainstream" middle class America exemplified by the predominantly white suburb to be downright freaky. Although I am sure the vast majority of those people mean well.

I have spent roughly half my life outside of the fifty states - including in Europe, The Middle East and for the past three years on U.S. sovereign territory - but way outside the fifty states. I do find this more comfortable - all politics aside.

Why are you still here then?

36. I chose yes but would

have preferred "it depends". There would have to be citizenship and a job waiting.

Airfare and enough to survive for a couple months is not enough - I could do that now. There would have to be more to the offer than that.

A job waiting? BWAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!   

PowerToThePeople (3,593 posts)
37. This is my answer too

It would be really bad to be trapped in other country penny-less, without citizenship, and without a job.

Just thinking about it makes me appreciate what undocumented persons in this country deal with daily.

As opposed to being in the US where you get free shit?  Maybe dummie the other countries got the right idea?

44. It's always interesting to know what's going on inside other people's head

so thanks for sharing.

49. Yes.

Actively planning. I just got back from Montreal. I loved it. I am a Latin Americanist and have lived in Mexico.

Latin Americanist?  Methinks the dummie is an illegal.

50. I would do it.

This is no longer a civilized country. It's awash in guns. Our public schools are nothing but political footballs. We still don't have single-payer health care and probably never will. Our so-called lawmakers can't get anything done without making a soap opera out of it, and often not even then. School kids get their lunches thrown away in front of everyone because they can't pay. Workers have no rights. Cops abuse and even kill citizens without consequences. Corporations wreck our environment and our economy and get away with it. Stick a fork in this country; it's done.

Really dummie? How about obumbles sons and the knock out game? How about the dems and the throwing grandma off the cliff commercials? I could go on and on. No point in it. So dummie... why don't you leave? Come over here and pm me your info and I will escort you to the airport for a flight to the country of your choice and pay for the ticket. The only requirement is that you formally renounce your USA citizenship and have it writing.

52. It isn't until you get to the other side

that you realize the grass is green because of all the bullshit.

America's far from perfect, but our best days are still ahead of us. All the naysayers can leave, cause they're just in our way.

 

Moling poorly that one is.

53. no

For the most part the grass is not greener on the other side...

56. Nowhere else on the planet would have me, to my knowledge

Over 55, not a professional or independently wealthy, chronic health condition, no relatives elsewhere. Those are all basically deal killers for anywhere that I've looked.

Or yes, I'd be gone.

Translation: I'm worthless and no other country wants me!!! Waaaaaaa!!!!!

57. only if i could come back

Translation: Once I find out that the country I move to is worse than the US, won't give me free shit and want to come back will I do it.

That's it for now. Might grow, might not.

Old lazy hippie (I will give > 50/50 odds it has a gray ponytail).  This should be deal killer HERE (and can you imagine anyone here casually admitting to be a worthless POS?)

I am on record as philosophically and legally supporting suicide.  Idumbo would be a great example for so many.
 

[Skul]

Why don't they just use the big door at our southern border, and walk out?
It's not like secure or anything.

[jukin]

I noticed that the DUches didn't mention the wonderful Latin America countries of Cuba or Venezuela.

[BattleHymn]

My offer of free one-way passage, for one primitive, to their favorite glorious shithole socialist and/or communist country still stands. 

Any interested primitives can join here at CC and PM me for details.

I wonder how much this particular idiot campaigned and fervently hoped for an Obama win in 2008 (and 2012).

How you like them apples, shithead?

[EagleKeeper]

That is one of the constants about libtards...

Always threatening to move out but never doing it.

Now lets look at who does, specifically, Hollandes France, New York (city/state). California, Detroit, Washington state.

Red states are just sitting there picking off businesses every day and the idiot liberals can't figure out why.

Try pulling the bullshit your favorite frigging illegals pull here, anywhere else, Sweet Pea......

Guess what?  It ain't like here.  Perhaps you drooling infants should actually experience other countries prior to spouting your ridiculously uninformed bullshit.

Nah, ....never happen......

This is no longer a civilized country. It's awash in guns. that lower the crime rate Our public schools are nothing but Democrat political footballs. We still don't have single-payer health care and probably never will. Our so-called lawmakers can't get anything done without making a soap opera out of it, and often not even then. School kids get their Democrat lunches thrown away in front of everyone because they can't pay. Workers have no rights except to actually work and tell Unions to go get f*cked. Cops abuse and even kill citizens without consequences. Corporations wreck our environment and our economy and get away with it. Corporations!?!. Stick a fork in this country; it's done.

Aww..  hopey changey not everything you thought it would be, huh?

Yet, you want us to accept all manner of uneducated (like you), unproductive (like you), welfare cases to overload a system that cannot sustain itself by increasing taxes on the middle class you purport to love, yet were never really a member of and are exceedingly jealous of.

All for what, idiot?  If the rest of the world is so Candyland Peaches, Cream, Unicorns and endless Rainbows, why would they not accept you?  I mean, they're all more civilized, right.

Re- f*cking-TARD.

Yeah.  How come they're not paddling their Priuses across the Caribbean in desperate flight from such an oppressive country that won't allow them to live at the Doctors Office?

Terrible, I tell you.....terrible.   Maybe (D)Ummies do use toilet paper after all? 

Huh.

I see that obama participated in the poll.
