Moving out was the best decision I ever made. It was a little hard at first, but now I really can't imagine living there again unless a LOT of things change.
Finding a "porn friendly" country is easy if you're just a webmaster. But if you plan on producing porn, your choices are limited.
And as someone who has been around a bit, I can tell you with 100% certainty that what you will get away from in the USA, you will pick up something else in another country to replace it. For example, you may not live in a borderline police state anymore, but you may end up living in a place where the police don't help you at all when you need them. You may not have to worry about politics and the future of your nation, but the locals in your new location may not like you very much. You may get away from everyone and their mother legally owning a gun, and live in a place where it is forbidden only for foreigners to own one. And so on and so forth.
There is no perfect place. You only exchange one set of problems for another. But if that is OK with you, what you can gain from living elsewhere far out weighs whatever bad issues you may trade. Learning a new language, new culture, and totally new geographical area is fun and keeps you learning.
I suggest going somewhere for 4 - 6 months first to see if you like it. That is a decent indication to see if it's worth packing up and moving for.Comment

Yep. Most people think the grass will be greener. It may not be "greener" but it may be softer, taller, shorter, or even less of it. But the main thing to remember, it's still just grass. People setting off to find "paradise" probably won't find it. And if they do, it is only a matter of time before everyone else finds it too and then they are right back where they started.
I personally have no regrets at all for leaving the USA and really enjoy my life where I am now. I spent the first 30 years of my life in the USA and had literally been all over it a few times. It was fun, it was a good time, and it was comfortable, but I wanted something else. I wanted new challenges, new experiences, and just to try a new way of life. It's a big world out there, I figured to spend it in one place would be a little silly for me, considering how much I enjoy traveling and learning about the world. And though I love where I'm at now, I doubt this is where I will stay either. There are just too many places out there to experience.Comment

One thing I really love about Europe that sucks about America is the transportation. Over there you can jump on a high speed train and go pretty much everywhere. Here in the States we have to either spend a ton of money to fly or jump on a bus full of smelly people, or on amtrak that is a horrible bumpy, broken down, slow, expensive way to travel. In most cases its actually cheaper to fly than to jump on the train.
I guess like one of you said the best thing to do would be to spend some time over sea's first and get a feel for how things work. I guess worst case I can live in the USA but spend most of my time staying else where.skype: ldm_productions, icq 637487535, email [email protected]Comment

Doesn't this question come up every time the US has an election?Comment

Another thing you have to take into consideration for long term stay is their visa regulations. You can't just plop your American ass down anywhere you'd like and call it a day. Most countries have a maximum amount of time you can stay there as a "tourist" before you have to leave, or you can jump through whatever hoops they make you jump through to get a visa to stay all year. This is what has kept me from spending a few years in a few other places.
It is also getting more difficult for Americans to open bank accounts abroad. Not impossible, but more difficult. The IRS is so fucking scared you may get a penny over on them, the US gov strong arms foreign banks to hand over ALL their US citizen accounts to them or they will lose the right to invest in the USA and will get fined. It is ridiculous. Then if you get another bank account, you have to declare that bank account when you file taxes or they can fine you $10,000 for not telling them about it. To sum it up, so long as you hold that US passport, you are a labor slave to the US government no matter where you go.
They do give you a nice tax break once you've been gone for a while, but you still have to file, claim your accounts, and pay taxes on money over the amount they permit every year, which is $95,100 for 2012. So if you make less than $95,100, you don't pay anything, but you still have to file. If you make more than $95,100, you pay tax on whatever amount is over. So if you made $100k, you pay tax on $4900. That is a crude example, as there are creative ways of legally doing things, but you get the idea.Comment

People often think somewhere else is better, when it's really just different or unknown. Once the novelty wears off it's the same old daily grind, with bad Government, bureaucracy and increasing bills to pay.
Everyone is different, but personally I think the best idea is to not live permanently in one place. I always grow sick of wherever I am eventually.Comment
