If you are referring to me then I should tell you that I do live in England.

I know that you are missing the dope but don't take it out on others. By the way, I just bought some more Molycorp at $27.

So does that mean that you can never smoke again if you carry on working for Chevron?

Most people are foolish, but I can assure you, with my hand on my heart, that I am not nor never have been jealous of anything that calls itself American. Your whole lifestyle, your view of others and yourselves, your language, your total lack of history or culture are an anathema to me.
Stop kidding yourself that ANYONE in their right mind envies you.

And with this post of yours, it appears that you want to make light of your racist past and the treatment that your country used against the occupants of your "empire".,

As regards racism, I will remind you of the old proverb "people in glasshouses shouldn't throw stones"

I would imagine that the part of the world that lives on a dollar or less a day envies us. You too for that matter! And probably hates or at least resents us. Rightfully so IMO.
But low, your depictions of Americans are nothing more than caricatures of the "ugly american". It's as if in all of your travels the only Americans you ever met were DY, Alias, and Dixie. Can this possibly be?
Americans, like all peoples, have very diversified lifestyles, views, and even languages! And of course we don't have a "total lack of history" we just have less of it than you.
that's exactly what it means, while I was out I got some bad news on how much the IRS will allow me to withdraw annually without penalty. So the battle goes from convincing my wife a mil is enough to funding the after tax account with enough cushion. No way I last 2 years, I doubt 1. They say 75% failure rate for addicts, and 25% with Chevrons heavy testing.
Well I already consider myself failing that test eventually so why take it.
yet here you are daily

My friend is in a very similar situation with Pfizer.

Your every comment about America reeks of your jealousy. your view of yourself, your 'culture' etc... is the one that needs adjustment.
As for our 'lack of history'.... just remember, we kicked your pathetic asses out back in '76. We bailed your asses out of two world wars. If not for our involvement, you would likely be speaking German or be looking across the channel at a massive Soviet empire. It is the European imperialistic mentality that led to both of those wars. You idiots are the root cause of the problem. Do keep in mind all the nation conquering and empire building the British 'empire' embarked upon. Remember all the countries you tried to enslave and bring to heel all for King (or Queen) and country. THAT is your history. Great culture you have there. See where it got you? Your leaders sucked up to BUSH... one of the worst Presidents we have had... yet YOUR cultured leaders puckered up and stood in line.

Dude... you don't want to live in NAPA. Your bang for the buck will drain you quickly and the tax situation there is only going to get worse. If your wife likes the outdoors, I would suggest CO. Obviously I am a tad biased, but for someone who wants to live in a 420 friendly state, we are going that way in a hurry. You can easily live off a mil here. Not sure how old you are exactly, but if you are under 59.5 when you retire, I can show you how to make it work where you can get sufficient funds out early without penalty.

Well, having arrived two years late for WWII you made sure it never happened again by starting wars all over the world.
Y'see, when we look at America, our first impression is one of violence. Violence in the way you speak, violence in the way you act, violence in your every waking minute.
We know, because we are not stupid, that many Americans are sufficiently civilised to be accepted in company and I have come across a few decent ones. But... and it is a big but ... not only do you have precious little history of your own but you try to re-write the history of others. That amounts to lying - national lying - lying of which you appear proud.
Many of us don't like that. many of us who witness your imperialist ways despise you for that. We, more than anyone else, understand imperialism. It could be said that we invented it (discounting the Romans of course), so we have a right to be critical and to shun it.
We see a nation in the US that, while it may not be driven by ignorance of others, certainly rides on the wheels of xenophobia. And yes, Blair toadied up to the idiot bush and the electorate of the UK punished him for it and with every week that passes more unsavoury truths are emerging. Now we have a bunch of schoolboys in charge, the ersatz aristocracy of Eton and Winchester. The only point of which we may show a tinge of envy is in your election of Obama and the fact that slowly the right wing loonies are, it appears, being sidelined.
All in all, it is great sport to piss off America. You bite so often!

But I LIVE here. A long way from you.
Freak, I'm aware of 72T and that wouldn't even let me get out 4%. I'm turning 52 if Feb my earliest retirement. I'd love to hear of a better way, another friend told me we can take our lump sum pension over 10 years- which seems radical to me
I've looked at Ft.Collins and Boulder, not sure as a tennis Junky I could handle the winters. But we could always crash with our kids here a few weeks a year.
