Why didn't they join you in Utopian? I mean, you could all live in paradise over there or in living hell over here so why choose here?

Lmao
To be fair though, it's not all about money. I met a Danish chick the other day (Denmark is one of the most prosperous countries in the world) and she says she prefers Spain over her home country.

Exactly. There are less PC about it too. The notion that Europeans are somehow more tolerant when it comes to racism...well, the grass always seems greener on the other side.

And Roger Moore not too long ago said that Idris Elba (a well liked, upstanding guy) was not "English English"

Opinion:
You bring up an excellent point ; however the ratio between both is disparaging.
Now if there were 371,354 Madoffs arrested every year or 1,018 daily that would make for an interesting debate.

Opinion: Hosting a free white rally Saturday at 1pm rally in a park adjacent to 6,500 residents of the nearby
Housing projects was pretty savvy. Students from nearby colleges campuses out of of 8 million New Yorkers
was an easy enough task to grapple. Streams of people were reported to be coming from the subways to the Park
with Bernie signs. Gotta love it. College kids without drivers licenses...Hahaha .....Seems like his popularity is waning.

Well some think (conspiracy theorists) that the Dem Machine fixed it so that he couldn't. Who knows. I wouldn't put anything past anyone. Anymore. Politics is a dirty game.

That idea was from Sanders supporters who are so stubborn that they just couldn't imagine a reality where he was not the more popular candidate of the two.
