Unless you hate your home, you're bound to prefer it, no matter where you go. I've been to the U.S a great number of times (lost the count really), last time was in January this year. I've also been to England, Thailand, Greece, Denmark, Germany, France, Belgium, The Netherlands, Italy, and Jamaica. I for one have no real desire to move outside Sweden. I can see it happen, but it certainly isn't a goal I strive for.

And that's the way it should be imo.

Indeed, I guess we can agree on that. It's never fun when someone feels they have to leave their home, rather than having the choice to do so.

Can you imagine a world where every country was the same? How utterly boring that would be.

I've been keeping up with this topic but I do not see what this has to do with Texas Around the World.

hoho, made me chuckle, good on you sir!

But as you said August, the world would indeed be very boring if every place were like the other. Fortunately, this is not the case, I know from my own experience

Also good is that we live on a planet that is rather large, and there's bound to be a place suitable for everyone. I'm lucky enough to live at a place more than suitable for me. Then ofcourse, your opinions and views of life will often be altered by your surroundings. Maybe I'm best suited to live in Sweden (a traditionally socialistic country) simply because I was born there

...and then show economic output~growth vs tax rate.

At that point I yell: "Get to the choppa" Nice avatar Neal.
