The American Flag Comes... Second?

Re: The American Flag Comes... Second?

...holy crap.

That's just wrong.

What is? The preceding 5 pages or something else?

I went to a college fair a few weeks ago, and there were representatives from colleges in Ireland, Britain and Australia. I wouldn't mind going to school in Australia(Bond University in the Gold Coast area) after I graduate, but it probably won't happen. In any case, going to a university in another country is probably a better thing to do than just saying "I'm going to book it" after finishing high school or college in the US.

I never said 18. If I have the funds at 18, I will though. I have a fat savings account.

What a great idea: drain your savings account before you earn any marketable skills necessary to secure means of replenishing your diminished funds.

No it's FAT. Not going to be gone for a while.

Re: The American Flag Comes... Second?

Just sayin'. My savings account was huge, too, but then I had to pay rent.

Re: The American Flag Comes... Second?

I have thirty quintillion dollars in my wallet right now.

My savings account has several googleplexes of euros, dollars, and every other currency.

You spelled googolplex wrong.

That's why you sit on your ass and post on the FFR forums all the time. Obviously someone with that much cash would rather post on internet forums than use Bill Gates as a footstool and using $1000 bills to light the cigar that the president personally rolled for them...

I'm sorry. I should have used "ignorant".

Re: The American Flag Comes... Second?

It doesn't matter what you used, the fact is is that your sense of humor sucks enough for me to take you seriously. And the fact that you expect me to know a reference from a TV cartoon that's been running for over 17 years and with 374 episodes is ignorant in itself.

That's okay, I forgive you. Try to keep up for next time ^_^

Re: The American Flag Comes... Second?

So how exactly do you plan to:

- Get the money to leave the country in the first place?

I recieve over 11k when I turn 18 over a settlement from a car crash which will cause me long-term neck pain. Yes, that's ridiculous, but it works.

- Get the money to start a new life in another country?

Refer to the last bit, and keep in mind that I don't need all the bullshit that most people spend half their money on.
Internet connection + my music-making equipment + pot + food = happy.
(Also, pot is a lot cheaper in Canada)

- Find a suitable place to live?

Not difficult. Keep in mind that I'm most likely talking about Ontario.

- Gain enough knowledge of the new country's language to be able to get by in society?

ROFL CANADA. Did you think I was talking about Switzerland or something?

- Find a job that will provide enough funds to sustain your life in this new country, bearing in mind that any decent paying job will probably require at least proficiency in, if not mastery of, the new language? Don't forget that, since you're leaving at 18, you won't have an education beyond the completion of high school, which doesn't fly nearly as high in the job market as it once did.

I never once said I was leaving at 18, I said I'd be leaving when I had the chance, as in, after I'm done with my studies.
Not to mention, once again, that it would be no harder to find a job in Canada than it would here, and it's not nearly as difficult to make a living as it's cracked up to be, it's just that retards don't know how to manage their money, and most people are retards.

- Find an affordable means of transportation?

My parents are buying me a car.

- Find affordable means of entertainment?

Internet + my own music-making + pot.

- Complete important daily/weekly/monthly tasks that you spent the first 15 years of your life largely dependant on your immediate family to help you out with, if not do for you?

Simple. Vacuuming and dishwashing are not by any means difficult tasks. Not to mention that I'm not stupidly anal about my surroundings like some of you guys probably are.

In fact, if you weren't so judgemental/assuming, you'd know that I don't plan on spending the rest of my life in America either.

I never said or implied that you planned on staying in America.

Haha, the American way.

But seriously, I figured you were going to Europe or something substantial. I would hardly count Canada, it's not drastically different from America like Italy or Germany would be (at least from a cultural standpoint).

Anyway I figured you were trying to hightail it out of here as soon as possible, which would've been monumentally stupid unless you had hit the lottery or something. If you're going to at least go to college first, then that's perfectly understandable, and I wish you the best.

Just stay out of Quebec. >_>

What about paying your bills and taxes?
