When would you leave the US?

[Taverner]

What, if anything, would cause you to leave the US?

[EFerrari]

1. I'm mostly there already. Maybe the only thing keeping me here

is my mom who is in her seventies. My kids are cool and I can work from anywhere.

This place is just way too repressive for me. The Dominionists have formed an unholy pact with the corporati. I don't even recognize this country any more.

[wildhorses]

2. it left me ---

me and my ten acres don't have a damn thing to do with this mess...sorry.

[Taverner]

4. Ahhhh to be off the grid...

A goal of mine...

[Ptah]

3. Probably to see the Calgary Stampede.

Now that's a party!

[Bjornsdotter]

5. I'd leave right now

...if it weren't for Mr Bjornsdotter. I'm working on him...

Cheers

[Orsino]

6. As soon as my property sells. n/t

[scarlet_owl]

7. If we could afford it, we would have left by now.

It's getting pretty scary here.

[China_cat]

8. Only thing holding me back is the price of a ticket.

[treestar]

9. I've thought about it for retirement

I've thought about going to a place where the dollar would go further, if such a place still exists at the time.

I'd definitely leave to make a better living, if economic conditions warranted it. It if was good enough for my ancestors, I can do it too.

Though most of us assume there would be someplace that would take us. That might not be so. We're aliens elsewhere (except those on the thread who might be dual citizens). Cracks me up how we assume other countries will always take us when we are so picky about who we take from other countries. Other countries have the same right to "control their borders."

[IntravenousDemilo]

28. Sorry to break the news to you, treestar, but our currencies are just about at par right now.

Your dollar will go only slightly further in Canada than at home. Our economy has changed in the last couple of years. But there are other reasons to choose Canada.

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. Last night, I dreamt of an atomic explosion.

I'd like to have already left the US.

[av8rdave]

11. I'm leaving a week from Monday....but coming back

[Skittles]

12. for good? nothing

I would always stay and fight

[crim son]

13. A draft.

My sons and daughter will NOT fight so that a select few Americans can get rich, and a boatload of idiots can drive their massive vehicles for under $3/gallon, or so we can wield our economic and military might over the weaker nations of the world; and they will most certainly not die for any of the above meaningless causes.

[Lyric]

15. Seconded.

If they institute the draft, I'm out of here as soon as I can afford to leave. I refuse to have my son's life put at risk for the sake of the wealthy elitists who wage their profit wars overseas.

[Taverner]

17. Aye

[AlCzervik]

14. We may end up moving overseas because of my husband's job.

it may happen in the next year or so or it may not but i'm open to it for sure.

[volstork]

16. I'll leave if the 'pugs

win in '08

[Lydia Leftcoast]

18. The only thing keeping me here is my elderly mother and stepfather

I'd leave in a heartbeat if I had the chance, although perhaps I've waited so long that no other country would take me unless I were a rich retiree.

[catmandu57]

19. If Scotland had a repatriation policy

and my wife's feet weren't set in concrete I'da been out of here already. As it is though, here I am and here I'll stay.

[Inchworm]

20. A party

in Tijuana!

:party::toast::party:

:hi:

[Initech]

21. Another Republican president.

[QMPMom]

22. I only left because I married a Canadian. I'd move back to the

US in a heartbeat if I could. But I can't.

[pitohui]

23. usually a good bird sighting is all it takes

but then i leave several times a year

[graywarrior]

24. I'll go underground first.

And subvert.

[cobalt1999]

25. Nothing would drive me from my home.

My family has been in this state for over 150 years, I'd rather fight 'em than leave.

[dpbrown]

26. Martial Law

Once they get that, it's over.

Arbeit Macht Frei.

[momophile]

27. if Global Warming gets unbearable here

other than that, I'd like to think I'd stay and fight.

[angrycarpenter]

29. never

I am an American and I love my country. I am very unhappy with it's government at the moment but for better or worse me and my country will never get a divorce. Till death.

[Dark]

30. Guiliani winning the election. n/t

[XemaSab]

31. Killer job in a far-off land

:D
