I'm sure orthopedic offices are full of only blue collar workers

In a movie, TBoy would be played by Elliot Page.

Bruh, how do you know TBoy is not actually Ellen Page?

Now my boy however, I don't mind him going into a trade if he enjoys it and it has a good work/life balance.


^^^this. Let your kid do whatever makes him happy. Two of our boys did not want the office life. One did. All are doing great.

Okay, sure. So we send our natural born American kids to break their backs working hard labor jobs while…

We import foreign workers to take white collar jobs and fill our professional schools on H1B and student visas and be our new upper class. Sounds like a great deal.


Well, the way it seems to me these days, both sides are being filled with imported labor.

Seems everyone who is sending their kids to college, is sending them for a worthless degree so they can ask me what coffee I want and the others are letting them post up in the basement all day playing video games.
quote:

FTR please keep posting this, i want every kid to go into the trades, except mine.


Hopefully they aren't replace by AI before they graduate or they will have loans and a trades job to pay them.

Ellen page is quite ugly isn't she


She wasn't always...

No. Geographically America is a 1000x more beautiful than Europe. We have it all. We are a very unique country in that aspect.


Well, first off you are 100% wrong. There is no beauty found here that cannot be found there. Of course from a natural standpoint the same can be said inversely.

But more to the point, I never, ever said Europe was better. Some poster just said Europe was a shithole to live in. It is far from that. In many ways it is better, at least for someone like me. Lifestyles are slower, people are more friendly and prices are cheaper.

Sorry if that offended you.

About the taxation. Yep, they are generally taxed more, but that does not affect me nor will it. My job is here. Even when I am there, I am working in the USA. I am taxed by tUSA. I do pay little to no property tax for my properties there and they tax my imcome on short term rentals much less than they do here.

Funny thing about tax. Even if I were to move there and work for a company there, tUSA would still tax my income(at a certain level and I do make more than that certain level). We are the only country that does that. Tax is a bitch.

Going from Brad as Achilles to Elliot Page is the most insulting thing ever


Well, since Achilles is dead and is a shell of a man, in the underworld during the time of this movie, using a woman, acting as a man, kinda makes sense.
I thought they liberated themselves in 1898. Who, besides Cubans, do they need liberating from?

He told you want he was going to do

That quote pertained to Iran attempting to enrich weapons grade material and he did bomb "the shite outta them" last year and in his words "set them back decades"

Why bomb them now if he already set them back decades?

Trump miscalculated this thing. He thought it’d a quick in and out


No he didn't. The admin told us exactly why we attacked Iran within hours of doing so. We attacked Iran because Isreal was going to attack them.

The whole "they are getting bombs" and "they were killing their people" and "we can't let them control the Strait" only came up later as excuses to deflect from what our admin openly said, in front of cameras.

Trump was never going to fix the past 40 years overnight. This was always going to have to go beyond Trump.

So he said "frick it" and became a neo-con?

It isn't about having the balls or the stomach. It is no longer mid-20th century. What you are asking for is now considered war crimes.

As far as the rest of your post;

I'd push back on "much, much, better". By and large too rocky, for me. If you're including the water in your assessment, I'd agree more.

Water always included. Scenery included as well. I love Florida beaches. Some of the best sand in the world(although I do really like the black lava sand on Sardinia), but Florida is just flat with no background scenery.

And rocky means no sand in the cracks. There are some really good sandy beaches the further south you go on the Adriatic.

No formal extradition policy with the US.

Not a guarantee because extraditions happen but they are ad hoc

I like Montenegro a lot. Probably the most laid back of all the southern slavic nations, and that is saying alot. Overall it is not as nice as Croatia, but they are coming along. It is like Bosnia with more than a speck of coast.
Hard to get more angry when he is far from the only one, in all levels of government, who seem to be doing the same thing.

It's plain disrespectful! If you've ever been to Pearl Harbor you know just what a sacred place the Arizona Memorial is, how hushed everyone gets when they are there looking down at the mass grave for hundreds of US military members


It is obvious you did not read the article. It was offered to him, by the military and is a practice that has been done for 20 years.

Name them


Croatia(where I spend much of the year), Cyprus(Greek side), Romania, Southern part of Italy, Montenegro, Albania is up and coming quickly.

Shall I go on because I stuck to places with beaches. There are even more not on the coast.

London and Paris are tourist traps, overcrowded, over priced, and ugly compared to other European cities

This. All day this. Much better cities to the east and south.
