[QUOTE="vantexan, post: 5082654, member: 24302"] Why must, in your view, someone go overseas for cultural, educational, or linguistic purposes? Seriously, what's the issue? Millions of Americans are overseas working for their companies. Does that make them evil? Millions of Americans have retired overseas. Does that make them evil? You act like I'm one of only a handful who are doing this and it somehow makes us greedy to do so. That we must accept that we are poor in the States and just suffer like the rest of the poor. I saw long ago that my pension plus Social Security wouldn't amount to much. But I also like to travel. I've traveled in 47 states and across Canada. Does that make me evil too? Your assertion that it's just for economic purposes doesn't account for the reading I've done about places all over the world since I was a teenager. You really don't know, you're just extremely judgemental. Why? Because you are a socialist. You think everything should be centralized in a strong government and everyone be beholden to that government. That the government decides how we live, not us. If we figure out a way to live better that's too bad in your view. Only the elites who are very important to the system get to have choices. I would hate to see the country that [USER=58386]@bacha29[/USER] is in charge of. [/QUOTE]
