If I had to move, I would pick Barcelona in Spain.....beautiful city, great architecture (Gaudi!), great art and culture, good food, nice weather.

Hmm...or maybe southern France, close to the Riviera and and the Alpes. You can say anything about the French, but the have the best food and the language is so fucking horny if a girl is whispering french words in your ear.

How well would a degree in the US transfer to Canada? There was a lady at work who said her degree in India was nothing like what we have in the US and she had to retake all the classes.

If you pussy-out now, there's no place for you back here when the citizens overthrow the government after World War III. Stay and fight, or leave forever.

What are you doing to 'fight' rep? :lol: you complacent jacknuts


Bitwise, a degree from the U.S. should be completely transferable as long as it comes from a reputable school.

I'm not sure you can call it a stereotype when it's somebody who's listened to your life story for 3 years. :lol:

LOL! Kracus brings the stupid again. Dude, you've been trying to pin this retarded militaristic thing on me for a good long while now, solely because I was in the Corps. That's it. Nothing else I've ever posted has showed any sort of an affinity for military action. Given the fact that I detest Bush and the war in Iraq, how fucking dumb do you think you look right now? (Here's a hint: VERY)

All I did was restate the blatantly obvious, you ARE a slack-jawed dolt, and you have thousands of posts worth of proof that I'm sure you wish oyu could hide. :lol:

If I married my gf, got better at French, and moved up there after she finishes her bachelors degree I would score an 80.

Fag weddings will be federally approved soon. Provincial fag weddings are already taking place. Some religious bigots are railing against it, but their attempts are probably futile.

based on where this place was going in clinton's last term compared to now is a little more than the simple swaying of public opinion. i agree with you but i think it's more invasive and diabolical than misguided...it's a fucking paradigm shift.

Not all of Texas is bad. Although you couldn't make me move to Dallas at gunpoint. Lived around Ft. Worth a few times and it's not all that bad. But Dallas is a shithole.

Certainly, and I don't want to downplay the changes, but it's not like Americans were oblivious to this before November 2nd. Yet they re-elected Bush with an undisputed margin over Kerry.
