Man, no shit.
I'm young, very well educated, no criminal record, healthy.
I need to get the hell out of this ghetto nation while I still can.
Not sure how munch EPO benefits the 18:30 crowd

I've often considered it. Kind of like Under the Tuscan Sun.
If I had the money, I would.
My dads job had us in europe growing up (not military before you ask) and I loved it. The culture was amazing. People have plenty of free time and use it to enjoy where they live. The standard of living was so high compared to here. It was incredibly clean. public transit is on time and convenient. there is history everywhere. People aren't such massive prudes and lawyers haven't ruined the sociopolitical landscape, businesses and sprawl haven't ruined the literal landscape.
However, I feel America is on a comeback in many of these areas. Microbrews have really taken off in the past 10 years here, now you can get great craft beer basically anywhere. Young people are choosing to move back into cities. independent coffee shops are popping up in downtown areas all over. We are essentially becoming more european in our ideas about living together (well, 60% our country is anyway) but we're putting our own american spin on it. I would rather be apart of making a new and engaging american urban culture than to go to a cool but already established culture. You really miss part of your soul when you leave America, no matter how cool it is over there.
1) boredom
2) healthcare
I hear that this is what average women look like in Poland:

I definitely should move there.
We are born into ignorance, commercialism and apathy.

Here, don't be biased. Pick random pictures, not selected ones.
This an example of "average" women in Poland:

Wow! Craft beer?! Indepedent coffee shops?! AWWWWESOME!!! LOL
Eh, you might think twice. I am a first generation to the states, with my family being from Sweden and Finland (and most still there). Much of Scandinavia is being ruined by their liberal immigration policies. Once quiet and picturesque villages are now slums full of angry foreigners. Trust me in that The States are not the only problem with people moving there and abusing the system. Most of my posts involving how bad Somalis are culturally is usually deleted from this forum, but it is certainly the truth. Parts of Minnesota where these immigrants now live are full of crime and violence. They hate The states, yet they love what they are given here. It's a strange scenario.
Umm... ever heard of Switzerland?

bc they don't bathe in europe
I used to live in the Netherlands as a former military person. I loved every minute of it. My town had about 4,000 people in it, but was close enough to bigger cities if I ever needed to go there. I biked to work pretty much all year round on their great bike paths. Public transportation, well, you could set your watch to them. I had great trails to run on. Farmers had small roads between fields that we used to run on all the time. History, well the bar at the end of my block was originally built in the 1600's and was still standing. I had great neighbors and made many life long friends. Can't say so much about some of my neighbors here in the U.S.
Work. Jobs are hard to come by, especially outside the ugly suburbs.

Bingo. My first wife was from Denmark, I lived and worked there for a while, and elsewhere in Europe. If you are not a native, don't speak the language well and don't have some skill they really need, good luck getting a job. And even then, don't expect that these small town (or even big city) people are going to welcome you into their community. You're instead a tourist? Fine, then they will happily serve you a beer and rent you a hotel room with a smile.
What about the hard sciences - engineering / scientist ?
