Looks like have not. So you have no idea what you are talking about. What 90% Americans can only dream of is available there. I see nothing wrong to be in a beautiful city, clean streets, safety, nice architecture, history, beautiful women, museums, theaters, low prices, cheap transportation, nice food, etc. Average American will never ever have this in USA. They can only chug cheap crap called beer and watch TV. Sorry about that.

Appalachian Mountains as well, rural PA/VA/NC/SC are very poor. But yeah funny enough those "Bible Belt" states have high rates of poverty and teenage child birth.

Just look in google for Detroit slams. Almost no different from Rio favelas. But if consider people quality(education , culture and women), Eastern European slams are much better than USA slams.

The USA is practically the poster boy nation for LACK of infrastructure worldwide actually. More than half the country, you can't drink the water that comes out of the tap. The national train network is a joke. Public transit in all but a few cities is a complete waste. Education is quite possibly the lowest standards in the WHOLE WORLD, as is the quality of the food supply. And 50 million people without even BASIC access to health care. I don't think you could possibly pay me enough to move back after two years in SUPPOSEDLY "third-world" Bogota...

I Always Say...
Put your money where your mouth is. We can debate (or fight) about quality of life issues and indexes around the globe. One of the most telling and easiest questions to ask someone is where do they keep their money. Do ex-pats keep most of their money in dollar, euro, or yen dominated short and long-term assets or do they keep most of their money (whether it's baht, pesos, or real) in their "newly adopted" country?

-Helpmann :)[/QUOTE]Why do you think it has to be like this?
Actually it should be opposite. Do not put your money where you are. It is much safer. If you are in the USA, put at least some of your money outside, so in case there is a problem such as lawsuit, divorce, etc.. you have a better chance to save your money.
If you live in another country you do not wanna take all you money there for exactly the same reasons. Then it is better to keep them in USA.
If you found a country where your dollars have better value than in USA why do you have to take all your dollars over there? USA can be good place to make and store money, another country can be good to spend them.
Also keeping some money in reals and Colombian peso has been a good idea, since they have risen against dollar.

Is it possible because you know it cant compare to the US?

Overall or are you comparing our worst cities to their best which is Bogota. Try comparing it to NYC/LA/Denver/Portland then. The MOST happening city in the WORLD is NYC. Yeah the USA has ghettos. But they don't make up the majority of the country. Unlike any of the countries you guys talk about having great women. But then you wouldn't be truthful about it anyway. Becos you have to justify your decisions to move to poor countries so you can be the big dog. Thats all fine. But don't kid yourself into thinking those countries are better just because you can get ez pussy. Only your dickhead would believe that.

All too good a question, Helpmann. People may show contempt for the Yankee, but they show a lot less contempt for the "Yankee dollar".

I'm too much in debt to keep money but when I do I keep it in the "newly adopted" whenever possible... the Colombian peso is very very strong as of lately...

Same here. I work in South Korea and keep almost all the money I make in South Korean won. It has strengthened a decent amount so far this year against the U.S. dollar.
I'm not a financial advisor, but I would suggest people actually get OUT of the U.S. dollar. Buying gold and silver are good options, but even other major currencies (Euro, Yen, Swiss Franc, Won, Singapore/HK $, etc) are a better bet than USD.
To make this post relevant to the thread, American women suck.

When i go to the US i have to rent a car as soon as i get off the plane...
All they have is fat SUV's and Planes, it's all about fuel.
I guess some people have interest in NOT developping transportation based on alternative energies. SOme of them might even live in Texas, who knows?
My 2 cents about the thread :
how ironic is that, most americans have issues with the crazy "empowered" american women. So many of them go to mexico to have fuN.
But i went to mexico a couple of years ago, i fucked mostly american girls, most of which were good looking and horny.
Also went out with a nice blonde in Shanghai she said that most people who go to china end up with a local girl and dump their GF or loose all interest in AW, and that it made her put in perspective the expectations she had back home. I ended up leaving her for one of her chinese 'Friends".
And yet AW think they have some kind of "power" or extra value worth making your life miserable. I mean how nice is it to get divorced and give your money and kids to a girl who once looked like Jasmeen BLeeth and now looks like Dumbo...

Wish that were so, Ezinho. But the problem is, American women DON'T EVEN suck.
Oh, and Onadlos, you've touched on a real problem. In the USA, "You Are What You Drive."

As I said most people don't believe the US is not only a 3rd World Country but a Banana Republic.
