The American English language is really flexible, no ones going to say anything if you say armour instead of armor. You'll find that the culture is a lot more laid back and some parts of the language is different in a cultural since

What rights will i have?

Can i still go shooting or because i am foreign, will i have to wait?.

Can i smoke weed still (it's illegal here yes but it may as well be legal with how easily obtained it is and how many people smoke it).

There's a lot of great places to see as well. There's a lot of ice age remains and stuff i want to see. Is all that easily accessible or do i need special permits and stuff?.

I'll tell you one thing mate, i am not interested in nyc at all. I lived in London for a good while, i am not interested in concrete jungles. NYC is just a taller S.hole than London and not my thing.

What rights will i have? Plenty.

Can i still go shooting or because i am foreign, will i have to wait?.

No. Unless you're a citizen, you'll have to wait. You may ask permission from state but there's no point since they'll probably decline and even if they accept, it'll take a while.

Can i smoke weed still (it's illegal here yes but it may as well be legal with how easily obtained it is and how many people smoke it).

No. Most nice places don't have that problem, either. If you live in a **** suburb, though, you might fit right in.

There's a lot of great places to see as well. There's a lot of ice age remains and stuff i want to see. Is all that easily accessible or do i need special permits and stuff?.

If you have transportation, go nuts. Hell, some are even free to visit.

I'll tell you one thing mate, i am not interested in nyc at all. I lived in London for a good while, i am not interested in concrete jungles. NYC is just a taller S.hole than London and not my thing.

I love NYC, but to each their own. NJ has nice rural communities, and I'm sure other states might have better, but why bother? Unless you have easy access to things outside your home, I imagine it must be a pain.

Me and the missus are quite frankly sick of the UK as all it has going for it is it's economy, nothing more. There's no sense of anything anymore and it is riddled with hippies who would glady get penetrated in the anus without lube if it was for some twisted sense of morality in what is right. We are both English.

This is purely anecdotal but it's a terribly boring and bland place to live after you've done it all. All that is left is tv soaps, pubs, possibly drugs and TV.

Let me just make this clear to any UK nationalists who feel like getting defensive. I HAVE BEEN AND DONE EVERYTHING IN MY 28 YEARS OF LIFE THAT THIS MISERABLE SOGGY ISLAND CAN OFFER, OK?. I'VE DONE ALL OF IT, THE CAVES, HIKES, SITES,CLUBS, BEACHES, PLACES OF INTEREST, YOU NAME IT, I'VE DONE IT (obviously not on the macro level but those things can be done anywhere). David Cameron was the last straw for me and while he has not affected me and my missus negatively, i've seen it on other people and it disgusts me.

Naught but a posh toff party the government now. A joke and an embarrassment.


Anyway rant aside, my question is, does the USA really have a lot of opportunity and what kind of freedom can i expect relative to a US born citizen?. Will I be expected to spell things wrong? i.e color instead of colour.

I have 3 A levels in Art, business studies and English literature.
I have an NVQ in IT
I have an NVQ in landscaping and gardening
I have 5 gcse's all B's and A's other than my C for maths as i was lazy but maths is not my strong point and calculators>maths anyway.
Next year i am going to university to study philosophy and psychological studies and it is after this that we would like to move. I plan to take this further as well.

I have a criminal conviction of drunken violence and did 18 months in prison. This could be an issue but i am not a "proper" criminal and i have not committed any offenses since then and have no plans to commit any in future. It was provoked anyway. Apparently this isn;t an issue as i have not committed any other crimes and the nature of it isn't bad.

I know this is a strange place to post and ask but other sources are taking ages and 1 of them was rude as fk but luckily i know that morons like that do not represent the majority of US citizens.

Well, freedom wise you should be fine.

Just make sure you have a good job in the bag before you get here.

The current market values networking and being recently graduated than it does relevant skill.

There is certainly a vast number of things to see and do, but our own political situation may be worse than yours. I fear we are simply coasting on successes of the past, with political in fighting and nonsense continually moving us backward.

I would suggest somewhere else in Europe.

Food is also a big issue.

We would like proper cheese, milk that isn't filled with crap, on the off chance we want a cheeky burger and chips......real burgers rather than pink slop and cartilage that is compressed into burgers that i know is all fine and dandy in the USA while here, illegal or well labelled to let people know that what they're buying is rubbish.

Is high quality food a rarity and hard to come by?. I don't care if that offends, it is well documented that the USA's food standards are a bit laxx. I've bought food from the US here and by law new labels have to be put on the products to show what is actually in the food, over the top of what people in the US see, which is not the full truth.

Companies in the USA can get away with not being totally honest to the public and i'd like to be able to avoid that. We get crap food here but by law the companies have to list everything that the product contains and to clearly label the product in a way that lets people know the quality of what they're buying.

For instance mince meat here will be labelled to let you know if it's slop with cartilage or proper lean mince. It also has the fat percentages and collagen percentages so we know EXACTLY (actually they're fairly accurate estimates but still) what we're buying.

What's the situation with that stuff in the USA?. I already know that you guys don't get told the full ingredients as food products from the USA have to be re labelled here so we can see exactly what we're eating.

You can find organic food, you go to special stores or farmers markets but their more expensive.

So no, not exactly is good food rare just cost more. Its not hard to get a kobe burger, and local angus in Oklahoma was to die for as in really good

Ppl relocate to New Mexico (a US state) specifically for the weather but Albuquerque is a bit of a cess pool of vagrants and criminals, Santa Fe is a "artsy place" for ppl from the east coast to come and dress up like coyboys and indians - best avoided if your under 70 years old

You have a case of serious misinformation, because everything above is incorrect. Check your information sources.

Well I read some of the posts, but here is the informed response.

Freedoms: You will have all the we have and more. example if your kids don't speak English we will teach them for free, once you get in on a visa no need to keep registering, you can get a driver lic without proving citizenship, you can vote, yes vote. it has bee ruled against the law to require people to prove citizen ship to vote. Police are not allowed to ask if you are a US citizen.

Free stuff: lots of it. free medical while USA citizens need to pay (careful though sometimes you never get to see a doctor only his assistant and they sometime are performing part of the surgery also), free food, free rent help and if you can lie really well money for emergency's all from your local gov't.

Get involved in expats and then you will have protection from any random discrimination and they will help you get more benifits.

Now places to live: stay out of ca, mi, nc, sc, fl, bread basket states, why you ask. natural disasters, to many social problems oh and keep away from Detroit they have high crime and are in bk.

Drugs you can get anyplace, some state weed is legal and yea you need a med excuse, but really all you got to say is "my back hurts" unlimited weed. Oh and then their are laws that say you can't have drugs on you, but you can be drugged out and it is ok.

lots of places to see, caveat emtor parks are underfunded so if you are doing stupid stuff you might not get the help you need on time.

Travel is pretty much open unless it is by plane or you go near anything that homeland thinks is theirs like dams, bridges, power plants, etc then you can be arrested just for taking pictures and held for upto 10 days without an attorney or family notification. But the good thing is that if you break the law you get a free attorney.

Universities are way to expensive and don't teach ****. you will have trouble understanding the professor since he/she will be from another country, but that is only when you have a professor, most of the time you only get an aid or a recording.

I think you said you don't like alt sexual orientation, well that is a problem here for you. all other non-heteral get special status and will rally around a like minded person if you have the misfortune of offending one and heaven forbid that you get into a drunken altercation. That is what we here in the USA call a hate crime and you get double sentence and forever marked as a social misfit who is a cave man.

wall of txt I know, all true straight info. probably will get **** for being honest. good luck

Yea, unfortunately his post on food is correct. We here believe we are being told the truth about what we eat, but it is a lie. without be labeled a radical true hugger, anyone who really believes they know what is done to their food is living in a fantasy world.

Lets just take a normal hamburger patty at your average grocery store or fast food place. It contains meat, connective tissue, sinew, stabilizers, binders, fat, small chips of bone, red food color, a host of chemicals. Now why all of this stuff? The USDA allows meat processors to self regulate ( kinda of like the Iran nuclear deal) and they are profit orientated and so they don't follow proper procedures and the meat is constantly contaminated but lucky for us the don't have to through it out anymore because everything is now processed with radiation and chemicals to kill off anything (true look it up) the wash the hamburger in a vat of chlorine and then hydogenperoxid and then they have to put red die into it because it is all white now.

For those Americans that don't believe me, please look it up before you respond.

Well tax is another issue.

Ya gotta pay the IRS for any income made here, period! They will not accept you paying UK taxes for US income.

This is exactly the case yes and just another lovely tidbit of the whole picture.

There is a reason that the EU is not interested in a lot of the food products from the USA and i am more than fair in worrying about it.

I mean, if standards are that low, how will i know that the high quality stuff i am buying is REALLY high quality?. The way them companies operate is exactly why we have a lot of regulations in the UK and EU, it's to stop bad persons exploiting good people but it still happens.

Yea we just had the CEO, pres, vp of the #1 producer of peanuts in the USA sentenced for forging reports and tests and purposely misleading peanut butter companies about the safety of their products because somewhere around 20+ people died last year. 1st time execs are being charged with murder.

I used them words in a different context.

To say something means bugger all for example is the same as saying it means fk all. Bugger is just more hip i guess lol.

yes, but your could have meant the literal meaning also.

any ways it gives you another prospective to consider in your decision. you could come and visit, try it out and see for yourself. One thing you will find rather fast here as in most 2nd world countries, is that the more money you have the better things are. oops don't carry too much money on you across state lines, because if you have cash in excess of 2k and get stopped the police will confiscate it as suspicious behavior and not give it back.

also taking our large sums of cash or putting it into your bank account also gets you in trouble most times.

This is just 1 among many things that worry us. I'm not going into a debate because there isn't one. USA food standards are sub par but as stated further back, we can buy organic food if needed and this doesn't necessarily mean crap on the micro level.

I am however fine with GMO's provided they are done ethically. GMO's are good when done right and the hippies are getting far too loud about it when they don't know sht.

If you are going to base your reality on this-then stop taking all of the life saving Pharma that we research, fund and then produce.

Maybe you should question the who's and the why's that the EU is restricting food.

You brought up pink slime- here is the news on the news, ABC who reported the story, and all the lib-tards from the EU picked up on, is being sued for 2 billion dollars for "making it up".

I find it utterly humorous to read and listen to EU, the BBC specifically and hear "talking points" picked from our libtarded press expressing opinion and not the NEWS!

If you are a SAXON dog stay in the UK, we only want Normans!

You want to move to the US and I want out of it, lol man

How come?

Government and cretins like omega nox aside, it is a great country and has a very interesting history in many respects, even if it can be summarised in about an hour lol.. Quite a lot of my ancestors were american as well. I know some of them lived in Valeene wherever that is about 200 years ago ish. I also have ancestors who fought on either side of the civil war and probably the revolution as well as they were among some of the first people to colonise it. One of my ancestors came back the the UK to marry a chap who lives in Northampton not long after the American civil war, something like that.


I guess you can say the same about the UK really but when you have someone who has been in business and been a real person for 20 years telling everyone the limits of what is possible and gets gets scoffed at in favour of some posh tory boy who is a career bs artist, it's time to leave.

It's impossible to set Government aside when every life can be impacted by it. Americans were recently polled and 75% believe theres Government corruption, if you add that to the changes i've been seeing here in our culture it's just not the America it once was, not even kinda imo. If your looking for opportunity, we have it in spades tho. I'm over the crazy concrete jungle mentality I guess. Just really do your research and visit a few areas first is my advice. Good Luck Bro :)

I would suggest somewhere else in Europe.
