Frustrated with politics here - can I come over?

Lets pack up and move to Antarctic or the Arctic. On the television,(Discovery Channel), I had seen that these are good places with very limited inhabitants and mostly for scientific research which implies - we can have internet, medicines. Yeah, the sun would be there but I have heard that it is just for 6 months a year so that might be some problems. As for birds - Pengiuns? Maybe some more of their kind. Food - Of course, there would be Packaged or imported canned food. Neighbors... I think none across miles... The "ists"... yes, scientists, archaeologists (the good people in that clan of ists). What Do you Think? Should I start packing too? Oh yes, once you are settled there and happy, I can return back here and send you the supplies (in case you need them fresh (ref. food issues above and also include others if you need anything). Regards, Sids.

Come with me to the philippines, Vannie. We can live in the mountains. Go to the city once a month to get your medications or whatever. No politics, no crap. Start packing, i am on my way. TATA.

Politics, vultures in the society, opportunists, cheaters, undergarments on the hanging rope are all unavoidable compulsions in our society. Even if you form your own world in the outskirts of the city, soon it will be invaded by all these unwanted things. So see your world in your dream.

hi vandy if you remember I am in Southern California where the freeways have bu mper to bumper traffic and we do have some smog. But the city of Tustin where I had to move from when my son and I were evicted from our apartment is a beautiful place. flowering trees line the street and in that apt we had were gardens and green grass and a ton of birds that lived in all the trees. the landscaping was gorgeous and all those great trees, too bad the apartments themselves were so crumby and rundown.the cost of living here is just plain out of control while the economy is shot. My son is now working but there are still so many \out of work.Some spots of Southern california are peaceful and beautiful but it costs an arm and a leg to live in those parts.My home state South Dakota has all of what you are looking for but the winters are very cold with tons of snow. Songbirds galore, no smogh few p eople, and the Black Hills oh those black hills with spruce and pine and douglas fur tree, loads of creeks and water falls, and caves with gorgeous stalagites and stalagmites. its a great state for peaceful living. You would be welcome in Tustin or in my home state too.

Typical Running away from the problems instead of facing them head On nO wonder our country is going down the dumps nobody has the balls to stand up and say "YOU'R WRONG".

my uncle thinks same like you....thats why he has built his home in a farm which is 10 km away from my city....he wanted fresh air , greenery ,silence around him and he went their with his family...the city is just 10 km away from his home and takes only 10 minutes to reach it by car.....other countries have lot of greenery there...nice weather and trees , forests ...i also like to live in natural life not a life with concrete ...but we hope that india would be a green country ,full of nature.... happy mylotting

When you consider all the factors, the United States of America is as good as it gets. Come here legally, and enjoy. But hurry, Obama is trying to destroy America!

Philippine's political system is not as good as others, but i think if you have money to spare, this country is the best place for retirement. people here really do not mind other's business... i think you would find yourself a great place here - we have got 7101 islands for you to explore.

Hi vandana7, I feel content to live in this small village. It's just 5 km or so away from the busy downtown area. Although it is not as flourishing as the town area it's quite peaceful. Only a few buildings with three floors tall are available here. We won't have any chance to see tall buildings with various flags (clothes) hanging outside the windows like what I have seen in the tall buildings in many uptown areas. People here won't hang the indecent looking undergarments across the road for sure. I love the place where I live with all the basic facilities supplied. Since I'm living in a wonderland which is perfect completely, we still feel annoyed when a few ignorant persons burning trash like plastic containers and bags which might give toxic smoke harmful to our health. Another insufficiency is the interruption of internet service after heavy rain occasionally. We have two private clinic and a government clinic available here. We could get various types of delicious foods, vegetables, meats and daily commodity from the morning wet market here Happy posting

I think, u should be more specific regarding this topic.. Because our govt is pretty strong , although there is a lot indifference between the various political parties, but who ever catches the govt rules well.. That is the greatest thing in the south.. Before blaming the country, i think u should consider yourself first, why do u wanna beat us? We are united, though we have a wide diversity, we are united by the name of the country... The country is common...I know what happened with the UPSC exams there.. I heard from various guys that guys over there are beating the guys who speak tamil.. They told, we don't have jobs here and why do u come here? We don't do anything .. We are good...We always respect our guest and make them comfortable while they stay in our land.. But i feel things are indifferent there.. I met a guy who speaks ur regional language in a campus recruitment , where he was selected and i was rejected, i didnt feel anything wrong here, because he has got more talents than me, so he was selected .. But what will happen if i come for a recruitment drive there? will they allow me first? Before blaming the political parties we should try to change our attitude towards others..Then we look good..After we look good we could try to change others..

Argentina! I moved here from the U.S. about 10 years ago (from NYC) and I think it's absolutely one of the best decisions I have ever made! Because "people are people" and "politics are politics" this country has gone through a lot in the time that I've been here. At one point the Argentine peso was set at 1 to 1 with the US dollar and once it was "freed", caused all kinds of upheaval and adjustments. Seven different presidents were elected and ousted in little more than a 2 month period. It's all calmed down though. The thing about Argentina is that about 90% of the population lives in and around the capital, Buenos Aires. It's a HUGE country and has tons of free space still available. Lots of places with rolling hills, green landscapes, small towns with lots of fresh air. You can get internet virtually anywhere. Prices of food, energy, clothing are all relative to where you live. As far as politics.....well....it depends on who you talk to. The current president, Christina Kirchner, is pro-working class. She and the previous president, who happens to be her husband, have done a lot for the poor and working class people including building low-cost housing for around 1.2 million people. They made futbol (soccer) free to watch on TV when previously you could only get the big matches via pay-per-view. They've instituted a nation-wide water purification system and recently enacted gay marriage as a right. Of course, there are detractors as anywhere but I personally think they've done wonders for this country. One of the sad things to me though is "rich" Americans coming here and buying acre upon acre of land in the unpopulated areas. I wish they'd put a cap on that. Ted Turner has a HUGE estate towards the southern end of the country. People like the Clintons, Barbra Streisand and other celebrities also own chunks of land here and there. They buy it because it's beautiful, unspoiled land that can easily be farmed and is rich in resources. I currently live in a suburb about an hour outside of Buenos Aires and my dream and goal is to purchase a few acres further south myself....before all the rich people snap it up! lol.

not europe? - you've just ruled out scotland we don't have many snakes and i don't think there are any scorpions. it's quite pretty and not too many terrorists. i am not sure i'd necessarily say peaceful. at least not in glasgow after a rangers-celtic match. anyway i think there must be quite a few countries that have your list of wants, there'd be other drawbacks but your demands aren't unrealistic. well, apart from getting to see your neighbour's laundry, think you'll get this in a lot of places.

That should be very peaceful! The place you should be, is where you are! You could just transport yourself to a place called "Contentment", which is in your thought. The more content you are, external factors do not add to existing miseries as much. The more you brood on misery more misery you get. This is an unfortunate factor in life. As for the physical world, just about every place has got the same problems. There seems to be no escape from it. So do the best you can under the circumstances. Best of luck!

i think politics is very curruption buisness in his country,it is very frustrated of public.infact many persons are keeps very expectetation in his leader.not compelte.

Hi vandana, I know that you said you weren't looking at Canada but there is no better place to live, although we need to get rid of the right wing conseratives in our government.Come here legally and enjoy the good life. Blessings

You think politics are better somewhere else?

Hi vandana, let your dream come into truth. We human beings are the creation of nature. But we are killing our mother nature. We all want sunny day,fresh air and want to watch singing birds. No terrorism, only peace. We should be more civilized.But who are responsible for the galloping of cost of living throughout the world? New inventions of science and technology creating new demands, so price of new products are going up an up. Now politics and business are co related. Business controls the politics. Business controlled politics does not think for the common people wants. Now fresh air is for the people who live at high rise apartments, not for the 'slum dogs'. You have mentioned some countries. They are in peace. Because they have not so many hungry mouths.

no... at first, we have to reform our political scenario.. otherwise...nothing will bring a good result. take care.

i thought that the political issue has many factors,therefore does not want to discuss this

I hate politics too.I think kingly rule is much better than a corrupted government that doesn't care for the people and the nation.I want changes in politics so that everyone is happy and secured,also it results in development of nation.
