Do you need to move out of North America?

Having myself lived abroad for some years now and watching friends and family live contentedly in the States, I started to wonder what compels some people to leave and some to stay.

Some people need to leave, and don't even realize it! Then again, some people need to stay, not that they ever consider leaving, or even think about anything further than the World Series. Which are you?

1. What is your age?
Under 18 Years Old
18 to 24 Years Old
25 to 30 Years Old
31 to 40 Years Old
41 to 50 Years Old
51 to 60 Years Old
Over 60 Years Old
2. What is your gender?
Male
Female
3. You're starving, and can't wait the hour or so it might take to prepare a meal. You hot-foot it to
Wendy's. Sure, you're planning on having a frozen dessert afterward but it's your reward for eating only a baked potato and salad for dinner.
McDonald's or Burger King. If you can't get a large fry and a big coke something inside is just not satisfied.
your local grocery store and visit the deli section for some gouda, a nice hunk of hard salami, and some crusty bread.
your favorite affordable sit-down restaurant, but only after you've called ahead with your cell-phone from the car and placed your order.
the fruit stand on the corner and pick up some spinach, zucchini, mushrooms and other quick cooking veggies, throw them in a pan with some soy sauce, and enjoy your meal in less time than it takes to walk to PCC and grab a soup.
the telephone, and order a pizza.
4. Your apartment/bedroom/house is in dire need of a deep clean. To help you in your endeavor, you
turn on NPR and listen to what's going on in the world today, and maybe catch some good jazz.
flip on the radio to your favorite station and listen to the most popular songs of the day countdown.
hope you're in time for TRL!
surf to your favorite internet radio station and crank it up.
blast a game show, talk show, Oprah, Dr. Phil, or CSI on the TV so you can hear it from each room.
practice a sort of meditation to help you enjoy the work and prevent yourself from becoming irritated or weary while doing your chores.
5. Your idea of a standard work year is
40 hours plus per week, maybe some overtime at time and a half pay, and two weeks vacation
35-hour workweek, leave two hours early on Friday, six weeks vacation, and lots of striking if your employer tries something stupid like making you wear a uniform or be polite to customers
doing whatever work you can get, whenever you can, whether it's fixing cars or house painting
salary based on a standard 40-hour workweek, but you know you'll end up working way more than that for not so good pay. At least the health benefits are pretty good.
6. Healthcare is something that
ought to be paid for by the government. What are they doing with all your tax dollars, anyway?
is maximized for quality by being privatized. There's no way you'd wait in a doctor's office full of potentially *shudder* working class people.
should be made a lot more affordable for everyone, whether it's by government subsidy or cutting all the outrageous prices for services and medicine
serves the pharmaceutical industry more than anyone else
7. Your idea of a great Saturday night is
going to the movies with your significant other or friends, then getting a shake at Denny's afterward and talking about the film
hanging out at home with some friends and playing board games or cards
bringing a bottle of wine and some hors d'oeuvres to a friend's house, cooking a great dinner together, then sipping coffee and chit-chatting for a few hours
filled with alcohol/drugs/cigarette smoke and flashy outfits, in a popular discotheque
taking a long stroll along a lake or through the city, maybe sipping on something in your purse and talking to random people
watching a game, any game, on TV, drinking lots of Budweiser, and ordering pizza
8. How do you stay informed of world events?
Listening NPR or BBC radio.
By watching any network news, including FOX.
CNN.
Reading your local newspaper or New York Times.
By reading AdBusters or watching the Daily Show with Jon Stewart.
It's not like you DON'T try to get any news, it's just that you, uh... always have something, uh... better to do?
9. How OFTEN do you utilize a news source?
A couple times a week, or whenever something big's happened and you don't know all the details yet
Never. The news is full of information that is completely irrelevant to you.
Who cares, the news is full of lies, anyway. You'd rather be making news than reading it.
Whenever you happen to flip by it on TV and there's some degree of nudity or violence on the screen
Once daily, sometimes twice.
As often as you can fit into your schedule--you don't have a lot of time for sitting around.
10. When is the last time you left the country?
Sometime in the last two years
Not since you were a kid
Never, and there's no reason to change that--your own country has plenty of stuff to see and do
Sometime in the last six months, or you're planning on doing so in the next year
Between five and ten years
Ten years or more
11. You're planning a vacation. Where do you most want to go?
Somewhere warm, like California, or Florida.
Somewhere with great snowboarding/skiing, like British Columbia, the Cascades, or the Alps.
Somewhere a little exotic and a little familiar, like Hawaii or Mexico.
Europe (Britain excluded), Asia, South America, or Australia.
Africa.
Anywhere with a pool, a casino, and a decent buffet twice a day.
12. Which of these is closest to your views on foreign policy?
It's important to maintain alliances, but sometimes you have to abandon a friend when they're about to do something reckless.
If you perceive a threat against you, it's best to do something about it before they can strike.
Countries ought to mind their own business and not interfere in the civil struggles of other nations. Lots of great countries have had successful revolutions, if they can, so can anyone.
A wealthy or powerful country ought to come to the aid of smaller, weaker nations, no matter the cost. They'll spend the next century in your debt, anyway.
It's really sad that some countries are ravaged by war and famine, but it's not your country's business to go nosing in their affairs. Foreign aid is often misused but you believe in providing asylum to refugees, in large numbers if need be.
Nuke anyone who doesn't agree with your agenda! Especially if they have a resource you can make money off afterward!
13. Finally, which of these best describes how do you feel about living in the North American country in which you now reside?
You hate it. You can't stand the people, the culture, the food, the music, the healthcare.
It's home, but there are definitely some very important and complicated changes that need to be made before you are really satisfied.
There's no other place in the world like it, and you wouldn't dream of living anywhere else.
It's great for a lot of reasons, including freedom of expression and free market economics, but you feel that the government is corrupt and deliberately misleading.
If it weren't for corporations and global warming, it would be a great place to live--given government was abolished, everything was legalized, and everyone was allotted 40 acres and a mule.
You'd miss your friends and family, but you can't wait to get out and see how the rest of the world lives!
