I wish you would all move here to the Midwest and help us repopulate. We need you people, plus you could help us rediscover what it means to be European. THe US culture has been completely tainted by jedi hollywood and now they're "browning" the country as well ... if you all moved here we could get the jedis and handsome and well tanned individuals out, plus you could be free from the arabs and negros.
I would like Australia actually, and Canada. But I feel like Australia is too far and Canada too cold. lol USA is not a country I ever wanted to live tbh. Too many things which doesn't fit with my mentality and way of living. My sister wanted to live there and she went to Florida. Been living there since 95 and she's a USA citizen since 1998, I think.

Yes, I do, and I like living in Europe. But if I had to choose, Australia would be one of the choices for me. Idk, I never been there but the country looks beautiful. They have social services and laws which I am for, and I like aussies in general as people.

we have a lot of problems that aren't immediately apparent, just like anywhere else I guess
until recently there was no R rating for games so a whole bunch of shit was refused sale because it didn't fit the MA15+ criteria. even now there are a bunch of stupid rules, one of which is the reason why Fallout 3 had to change the name 'Morphine' to 'Med-X'... it's still in the game as a painkiller you shoot and can easily get addicted to, just can't use the magic M word.
I don't think GTA had any issues, I know Manhunt, Carmageddon and Hotline Miami 2 were banned though (first two weren't even good games; the bans did nothing but give them free publicity)

Well yeah, I’m well aware that no country is a “paradise” . 😉 Just saying hypothetically. Even if you’ve been to a country it’s not a guarantee. You actually have to live there before knowing whether it suits you or not.

@Item: true that. 😒😅
we can swap passports if you want, you'll probably have to shave your head though

Lol Why shave the head?
Don’t know how old are you but I remember a couple of Aussie tv show very popular back in the 80. One was “All the river runs” and another was smth with Eden as a title? 😁
The last one I saw though was “The Code”, a couple of years ago.

So are the submission laws effective? How is terrorism, violence, and junkiness over there?
Terrorism's never been a real issue - just like everywhere else it's mostly an excuse to expand police and government powers. You can be detained indefinitely if you're 'suspected of terrorism' if I recall correctly, no supporting evidence required.
Violence isn't a major issue aside from drunken fights (the media sure does like to harp on those 'one punch' kills though) and some of the areas the African 'refugees' were dumped in have gotten really bad (most of it doesn't make the news but I used to be friends with enough people in Western Sydney to know it's gotten a lot worse than they let on). A good example is the 'Apex Gang' in Melbourne in the last few years... There used to be some huge southeast Asian and Arab gangs, but they got stepped on hard in the 90s. Asians are still around though they keep a low profile, Arabs are mostly just reduced to packs of noisemakers getting into fights. Motorcycle gangs cook meth and import/machine guns - the police have given themselves powers that would violate huge swathes of the bill of rights if we had one, but don't seem to have been able to do much about them.
Most people stop at weed and party drugs (MDMA and cocaine), considering keeping up a cocaine or meth habit costs a fortune here. The media constantly harps on about an ice (meth) 'epidemic' but it's nowhere near as bad as they say in my experience - a few kids who get way too deep into it because they don't know any better and career tweakers who do weird and violent shit are used to imply it's everywhere. Last I heard there were laws being proposed to allow the police to involuntarily put meth users into secure rehab facilities, dunno how far it's gotten though.

Funny thing about the states, although I do live in the heart of "meth country", is you can seriously be a 25+ year career tweaker, everyone in town knows who you are, it's public knowledge, but nobody really gives a shit.
It's like, oh yeah Billybob and Jeff been on that stuff way back since high school. They do good roofing work though.
