I'm leaving. Take the house, the car, the kids... I'm gone

[MrScorpio]

You deal with it!

[Wetzelbill]

1. ok I will then

ok. that was weird.

2. if only it were that simple in real life

but it isn't

first you have to suffer and suffer and suffer some more

during all this suffering, which is apparently not sufficient to meet the needs of the system, they take away the house, the car, the kids, the dog, all the money, pounds and pounds of flesh, your heart, your soul and finally your belief that anything matters

3. OK MRSCROPIO

WHAT'S GOING ON???

[CountAllVotes]

4. try going somewhere else

and you might be surprised. I did this already and it didn't exactly work out as I had planned and hoped. So, here I am again, back in the USA. Do I regret it? No, I've decided I'll stick around and put up with the shit because if you look realistically at the situation you will find that we are hated no matter how we believe so you best to stay where you are, especially at times like this.

Hang in there MrScorpio. I know where you are coming from, believe me. Not a good place to be and no, it will not change nor get better in our lifetime I don't believe. Sad fact but also true. Look how long it took Germany to "recover" after WWII.

Oh well ... we only live but once. Make the best out of a crap situation if you can manage to do so. We really don't have any real options unless you happen to be very rich and can buy your way out of the country. Not many can do that and if you do, you might be in for a horrific shock as was my experience.
