>brainwashing media >venomous pharmaceutical market >anywhere between 70-90% of the population is fucking stupid >overall societal ideas are self-destructive >35% obesity >60% overweight >20% depression rates >no culture at all Yep, /int/, I'm out of this country. Been here for 8 years, and almost every aspect of it drives me up the wall. What places would you recommend for me to live in? I have dual-citizenship with the U.K. and the U.S., so I surmise I benefit from the U.K. Commonwealth. Please, just anywhere but here.

>>6002406 I would not go to any of those latin american countries. The ratio of the population having tapeworms is VERY HIGH, especially pork tapeworms. Those latin americans love their undercooked pork. This is what happened when someone from latin america slaps lettuce on your sandwich with tapeworm eggs

OP, have you considered you're doing it wrong? Where do you live now? Is it in the bible belt, Detroit, or the Hampton Roads area of Virginia? Have you considered moving to upstate New York, Washington, Oregon, Colorado? I hear that Colorado has some pretty good public schools and the most realistic theaters in the world.

>>6002687 Americans are depressed because of a lack of community. In third world shit holes you at least have a support network. In America, it's every man for himself. Real friendship is non-existent. Where ever you go, OP. Don't be a dick. Learn the language, adapt to the culture, etc. Don't expect them to adapt to you. Most immigrants expect the entire host nation to change just for them. That's why immigrants suck, immigration sucks, and multiculturalism is destroying Europe.

>>6002848 Austin, Texas is the only good thing about the "south," if you even consider Texas part of the South, and Austin is like the antithesis of Texas. Southern tradition consists of bible thumping and racism. I didn't even realize how bad it was until I was stationed near Charleston, SC. As for food, Pennsylvania has you beat by a fucking mile. PA/NY/NJ area in general is fucking fantastic if you like German or Italian food. That part of the country still has butchers. Can't say the same for Hampton Roads, VA, but I'll cut the South a break and say that Hampton Roads is in its own category, like Detroit. NY, Austin and the West coast are way more important for music than the South. What "cool" cities are in the South? >>6002897 Yeah, pretty much, although in certain areas of the US, community can be pretty strong.

>>6003010 Because of unrealistic societal expectations that affect many subconciously, and the fact that so many cannot, or never will, live up to those expectations. Oh, and for those of you that say my statistics are unsourced, go look it up yourself. America's No. 2 in depressed nations, and there IS 35% obesity among American adults. Besides, I'm just distasteful, highly so, of any "culture" that America has. Most of it in the South comes from historically traumatised Africans, and any culture you see in CA, NM, or AZ is directly Mexican and is not American.

>>6003079 So according to the HPI, Africans are happier because they have no running water. I somehow severely doubt that.
