I am surprised at the way this thread has gone as I was entirely sure I would be strictly chastised. I appreciate both the praise and criticism of my decision, but I feel that this is the best thing for me to do at this point in my life. I am young, not tied down by a family, wife, debt, or anything of the sort. Worst case scenario is that I go down under, dislike it and then return. After all I am leaving everything I have ever known behind; My friends, my family, my job, my possessions (save for what I can fit inside two bags), and a culture I am familiar with in favor of a new and strange place where I hope I can succeed on my own.Originally posted by lincolnboyAfter watching Games of Thrones, makes me glad i was not born in those years.

To me, this is a much better reason! Adventure, and making something of yourself. I think it will provide a good opportunity for you to grow as a man on your own. Not to call you a daddy's boy, but living here with your parents around will give you a skewed development due to their income levels. Good luck.Originally posted by DOHCTR View PostI am surprised at the way this thread has gone as I was entirely sure I would be strictly chastised.

From a U.S. military veteran I hope you've enjoyed all the freedoms that we fought so hard to help preserve, the freedoms that you've been enjoying, risk free, for however long you've been alive. As you know, there is no other Country in the world that has the freedoms that we have here in the United States, so remember all those that gave their lives so that you can make this decision that you are about to make and live to tell about it.

Cut the holier than thou bullshit. Those freedoms INCLUDE every decision he is making. Are you going to say the same thing to people who voted for Obama? I love how service to this country(PAID)is like some gold card to elevate veterans positions above someone they don't agree with. Find an actual position and argue it, not some wishy washy "Race Card" to make your point with.

All of you guys have the wrong idea. The sooner this country goes to full on socialism, the better. That is because the government will go either go bankrupt or devalue the currency to the point that paying for entitlements is sustainable. Either way, all of the parasites get no checks in the mail or get checks that buy a whole lot less. Then they either have to work or starve.
Let's get that debt up to $30 trillion, I'm ready.Originally posted by racrguyWhat's your beef with NPR, because their listeners are typically more informed than others?Originally posted by racrguyVoting is a constitutional right, overthrowing the government isn't.

That's not what I was shooting for, but if that's what you took from it then I guess that's your perception. That said, I really couldn't care less what you think about what I post.Originally posted by talisman View PostCut the holier than thou bullshit. Those freedoms INCLUDE every decision he is making.
