I have to words for you.

HELL YES!



Any chance you can get to go and travel, especially when it's travel to a foriegn country, jump on it immedietely if not sooner.

Going to a foriegn country will broaden your horizens and probably be a great personal growth experience.

Definately do it. Just be very careful in your new surroundings.

Have fun.

Flip a coin, who knows, if ya ask me I would be worried about the whole country sinking into the ocean, take a look at austrailia, it looks like it's really surrounded by water, too much for me anyways, and it has man eating crocs and hungry sharks

or don't!

Head for higher grounds. Anything equal to the sea level is a danger. Anything way above sea level will be fine. But then you'll get more earthquakes and hurricanes regardless of where you go to live. I say go to Australia or Canada. The two countries that actually "Apologized" to the abuse of Native people.

I would take Australia over America any day of the week.
Good luck in your life and career!

To answer your question...YES!

I hear Australians are great people and very welcoming.


Yes that is the legendary yippie Abbie Hoffman

Honestly you could have a great time there for a year and I would go for the experience. Just don't be afraid of your country and the things going on. You never know if you'll get caught up in something bad happening in Australia or where ever you may go. Things happen everywhere and you just never know the outcome. So have a great time and live it up in Australia. Hope you come back wiser and smarter and ready to face the world.

There is no point in traveling to another place that is essentially like America. Firmly placed in the Western/Anglo/democratic cultural orbit. If you are going to travel and spend time abroad for an entire semester, then you are much better off going somewhere that will expand your horizons. Its a very big world, don't be satisfied with a society that shares everything we believe in.

Just my advice, and frankly I don't care if all the Aussies on here tell me how much better/different things are there. If you want a real adventure and a real chance to make yourself a better citizen of the world then take a bigger risk if at all possible. Otherwise, you'd might as well stay in the states.

We had the opportunity to visit Australia a couple of years ago and we loved it.

The people were great. They were very friendly and we enjoyed meeting them as well as exploring their county.

If I were in your shoes, I would not let some dire predictions determine the events of my life. There have always been dire warnings and most of these have never materialized.

As others have said, you must determine your own future.

In times like that I would suggest literally flipping a coin.

If you get 'heads' and feel bad, then do the opposite. Boils down to what do you feel and this is one way to pull that out of yourself quickly. You can change your fate but you should stick with what it is that your gut tells you.

All the theory / conspiracy & political data in the world won't take away your inner knowing / intuition / desire. Again, I say go with your gut and the coin toss is a good way to extract a decision fast.

I suggest leaving the country for the experience of being immersed in another culture. It will broaden your mind and make you a better person. If you can I would suggest going to a non-English speaking country instead of Australia to learn a second language which would be a very useful skill for many years to come. Don't leave because you are worried about what might happen. If you are truly upset with the current political system then do not despair and seek refuge in another nation. So you lost a battle, don't give up, get back on your feet and stand your ground.

He suspected that the government did him in. The FBI was after him for years and had the whole familys phones tapped. He had a large following and the people who followed him were very anti-government.

He was perscribed a bunch of medication by a doctor that he suposedly overdosed on but his brother Jack didn't believe it from day one. He said he had a very close relationship with Abbie and knew he would never do it.

He was a really cool dude, he once got thousands of people together and tried to levitate the pentagon. How awesome is that?

Here is an article to read while considering this issue, talks about who and why and where:


www.usnews.com...


But if the government is not counting, others are. Estimates made by organizations such as the Association of Americans Resident Overseas put the number of nongovernment-employed Americans living abroad anywhere between 4 million and 7 million, a range whose low end is based loosely on the government's trial count in 1999. Focusing on households rather than individuals (and excluding households in which any member has been sent overseas either by the government or private companies), a series of recent Zogby polls commissioned by New Global Initiatives, a consulting firm, yielded surprising results: 1.6 million U.S. households had already determined to relocate abroad; an additional 1.8 million households were seriously considering such a move, while 7.7 million more were "somewhat seriously" contemplating it. If the data collected in the seven polls conducted between 2005 and 2007 are fairly representative of the current decade, then, by a modest estimate, at least 3 million U.S. citizens a year are venturing abroad. More interesting, the biggest number of relocating households is not those with people in or approaching retirement but those with adults ranging from 25 to 34 years old.

If an offer like this was offered to me, I'd be gone yesterday. They are looking for workers at the moment. So go to school and make some connections.
A network of friends down under will help, check this site...
www.economist.com...

One big think is that you don't have to learn is a new language.

BUT, If you don't take this.....you'll kick yourself the rest of your life.

GO FOR IT.

Forget all these conspiracy theories, Usually one theory ends up contradicting another theory and they both may seem 100% plausable.

Just go and enjoy yourself. going to Australia should be educational and fun. Meet people and have fun. Just leave all these theories here. Learn about the Aussie and Aboriginal cultures, See the sights, Eat the local foods and speak the local language (lol).

I'm an American and I've been to Australia. I Loved it! I met some great people.

Well, I can't say much beyond what Redneck said but echo his sentiments. The future isn't written and no one on this board, including the guy that posted all that stuff about the timewave and his fancy math, has any idea what will happen or when it will happen. We can give you our opinions but in the end you are the best judge of deciding which forks in the road to follow because only you know the most intimate details of your life.

I will say that decisions like these shouldn't be made lightly and I think you're doing the right thing by pondering it over for a while. Maybe try some other techniques like make a list of pros and cons. Do a little research on Australian society and culture to see if there are any red flags that jump out at you. Pay attention to the climate also, see how it differs from yours and decide if the weather patterns are going to make you miserable or happier than where you are now. Oh, and most importantly ... check out sites that show you what Australian women look like on average. No, not porn, just regular sites. I'll also say that there are a couple countries in this world I've visited in the past whose women, on average, looked rather ... well ... um, yeah, homely. Mainly it's the teeth. *shivers* America is a great place to be for a single guy looking for occasional companionship.
