Emigrating To a Freer Country?
puroresu writes "I currently reside in the UK. In recent years I've seen privacy, free expression and civil liberties steadily eroded, and I can't see anything changing for the better any time soon. With people being banned from the UK for expressing (admittedly reprehensible) opinions, the continuing efforts to implement mandatory ID cards and the prospect of a Conservative government in the near future, I'm seriously considering emigrating to a less restrictive country. Which countries would you recommend in terms of freedom and privacy? Distance is not an issue, though a reasonable level of stability and provision of public services would be a bonus."
Where there is great freedom for you, there is great freedom for others to take advantage of you.
Strange things are afoot at the Circle-K.
I'm more surprised by the PCs = Lego aspect. More like a bunch of defective Lego that was rejected by the factory and doesn't quite fit together properly. Assuming that he means PC = Windows.
... and then they built the supercollider.
Here in the US we're being steamrollered by blatant, rampant socialism by Nobama sneaking in bills as quick as he can while nobody's looking. Representatives don't even read the bills they're passing

As a non-native english speaking person I can say that your written english is lacking somewhat for a serious curricululm vitae. At least your post is.
Oh god, don't believe the hype about NZ. Freer perhaps, if you don't count the social incarceration of the Anglo-regressive bigots who run the country. That country is SOLD OUT, and you will be too if you go there with anything less than a fortune of investment capital. You'll find your job options very limited as well, especially if you're asian or some other less white race. Immigration Services likes to talk about how they have lots of jobs and too few Kiwis to fill them--but they neglect to mention that most Kiwis are reluctant to hire foreigners, no matter how good their qualifications. Also know that you can be free with your opinions in NZ, so long as you don't criticize NZ or the Kiwi way of life. Believe me, not even a humble helping of constructive criticism goes down easy in New Zealand...not when it's offered by a foreigner. Finally, consider the freedom afforded you by your information infrastructure. NZ's is as antiquated as its building codes.
