The Cane was beaten by it too much as a child. Reasoning ability: GONE!
[QUOTE=TheCane;3069499]I present to thee. The 0.01%! LOLOLOL![/QUOTE]Not that good at math are you? I want you to take a look at the information I am providing for your education and tell me if you think your number is still right.

[QUOTE]In 2022, 5.1 million U.S. citizens lived abroad, including 3.9 million civilians, 1.2 million service members, and government-affiliated Americans.
38% of Americans who retire abroad choose Europe as their destination.
Neighboring Canada and Mexico are the top choices among expat retirees, with over one million US retirees collectively choosing to move here.
Take a closer look at where American expats tend to settle (excluding ex-military personnel) to get an idea of the best place to retire abroad as an American:
Mexico : 799,248
Canada: 273,226
United Kingdom: 170,771
Puerto Rico: 159,515
Germany: 152,639
Australia: 116,620
Israel: 76,794
South Korea: 68,050
France: 61,668
Japan: 58,340
Most of these countries offer standards of living similar to those of the US, favorable climates, and a fair or advantageous exchange rate for the dollar. The cost of living is also similar or lower, with countries like France and Mexico also offering more affordable medical care.[/QUOTE][URL]https://www.unbiased.com/discover/re...oad-statistics[/URL]#Why-are-Americans-retiring-abroad.
Use of precise language is appreciated
[QUOTE=TheCane;3069578] The fact of the matter is that [B]most[/B] people talk about it rather than be about it. [b]That's my point[/b].[/QUOTE]My bad then! I thought you were making the point that people who choose to live outside of the Dis United States of America were the small percentage that you listed.
Maybe the next time you should actually post what you mean, using clear and precise language (like you finally did your response to the facts that I posted) instead of using inaccurate math as a shorthand example. There will be less confusion. I am happy to know that most will not leave their comfort zone. They will spoil it for those who talk the talk and walk the walk.

Enjoy your country of origin. It's not going to get any better if what I read about the place (The Dis United States of America) is true. It's on the decline. It will get a lot worse for most people who live there. But at least the Dominican Republic is close. Easy weekend trip, when you get a work release pass for sex prison.
And another one bites the Dust!
[QUOTE]Got it, just trying to pick an argument. I'll write you off then. Decent engagements prior, but now it's obvious that you're just acting a fool. Take care.[/QUOTE]My newest hater to tap out. Remember to put me on your ignore list. Enjoy the Dis United States of America. Those of use with open minds who like to explore don't need your kind traveling the world sullying our image.
[U]Restaurants[/U]
[QUOTE]All I will say is that the restaurants that are located near me in the states are all fucking delicious, top quality, and I love going to them. There's no way I'd find the same level of tasty food and presentation if I go to other countries, compared to going to my favorite restaurants in the US. And I'll leave it at that.[/QUOTE]Anyone who thinks living in Bangkok is inexpensive and not of high quality:
[QUOTE=Tiny12;3069604]Hasn't eaten at El Gaucho Steakhouse!
True SubCmdr, Bangkok isnt cheap. But it does have hot and cold running women![/QUOTE]Yet, some individuals just don't know. That's why they hate. I throw down the gauntlet. Eat at one of the Michelin Star Restaurants in Bangkok and after that they do that if choose and tell me that the food is not as good or better than in the Dis United States of America then I will respect their opinion.
[B]How you like me now?[/B]
The ugly American needs to stay home!
