2016 Presidential Race

[Diamondback 2/2]

You deserve eternal damnation for that line, or at least a temporary vacation from the site... WRONG, WRONG, WRONG!!!!!

Come on man, he cares about you and me, protecting us from soda-water, cigarettes, and excessive food servings. Not to mention the scary bang sticks...

Ah, Democrats continue to eat their young.

Debate Moderator Reacts To Sanders Talking Vietnam: 'Oh God' (AUDIO)

"It's just a very different historical perspective here," Sanders said. "Kissinger was one of those people during the Vietnam era—"

Then as Sanders took a breath, a moderator was caught on the microphone saying "Oh, God."

Sanders v. Trump for 2016.

My Scottish wife holds a particular opinion on this potential candidate match up.

"An uncompromising, ancient populist versus a phony tough, populist disaster waiting to happen."

She has threatened to take the herself and the kids back to Britain if these are the candidates.... and may not be joking...

Ask her what shade of black does she want the burqa to be.

 

[Gunz]

Bernie is kicking her ass on the debate tonight.

Yay Bernie!! Free college! Free icecream!

 

[DocIllinois]

Scottish natives will virtually fight themselves out of existence before doing anything that doesn't make personal sense.

Perhaps you can ask her that for me.

The Dems rig their debates too!

She is not alone in her thoughts, and plans for the future. That is no joke either.

Becoming an expat isn't all it's cracked up to be. The laws in Britain combined with what's becoming an unchecked radical Islamic problem are enough to keep me from living there.

I'm not sure there's a place in the UK where I'd be comfortable with the laws, outside of perhaps moving to County Tyrone and joining the PSNI.

I'll stay put and pray for the scales to swing the right way again.

I'll wait and hope 2016.

I've met enough Scottish socialists to argue the validity of that statement, a couple of which make Sanders look like the second coming of Ronald Reagan.

I would move to Norway in a heartbeat. Really any of the Nordic countries.

Sweden is a terrorist supporting bunch of idiots, interspersed with a few "normal" people.

Bottom line, Scando's are weird and are to be treated accordingly.

So how much do serfs make? You need any of those?

Aside from Scandinavian women being really hot, what is it that appeals to you regarding expat life that far north? Government? Culture? Snow?

Government, I like the idea of living in a culture that values the same things as me. Hard work, supportingthose less fortunate, not imprisoning those less fortunate.

The Scandanavians have managed to be pretty well off in the face of evil socialism. They are happier to the individual. I honestly feel that if we didn't have so many shitbags in America we could do something similar. Unfortunately we have have way too many shitty non contributors in America.

That's the price of a freer society. Freedom = acceptance of douchebags who will abuse freedom's allowances.
Acceptance of shitty non contributors is the foundation of a socialist society. That is why Scandinavia/socialist countries have such a huge tax rate compared to here.
I come from a socialist country. It's a pretty nice life, but there is a price to pay. Higher tax, a worse health system, more vulnerable to criminals (try to defend yourself or your loved ones and you could/probably will pay dearly for that). A lot more oversight by government.
You seem enamored, yet unaware of the realities of the system. Don't get me wrong, it's cool, but I prefer more freedom. Each to their own.

Which freedoms do you have here that weren't afforded in Christchurch?

Oh I understand the realities. I just don't think they are that bad.

It is also a family consideration. I have a granddaughter that I've only seen three or four times. She is her mother's little girl in so many ways. My daughter has picked up a lot of the British flavor when she talks, but there is no mistaking she is from the States. My granddaughter is 100% British when she talks, and I love to hear her talk. Spending time on "The Farm" has always been so relaxing, and low keyed. It is very rural, and no immigration issues thus far.

I'll have to make a decision within the year. Health issuses may be the deciding point.
