But if you're leaving the country at 18, there is no "after high school".

Well, there is, but you're not spending it in America.

I never said 18. If I have the funds at 18, I will though. I have a fat savings account.

This was all in reference to Rai, not you.

What is? The preceding 5 pages or something else?

I went to a college fair a few weeks ago, and there were representatives from colleges in Ireland, Britain and Australia. I wouldn't mind going to school in Australia(Bond University in the Gold Coast area) after I graduate, but it probably won't happen. In any case, going to a university in another country is probably a better thing to do than just saying "I'm going to book it" after finishing high school or college in the US.

What a great idea: drain your savings account before you earn any marketable skills necessary to secure means of replenishing your diminished funds.

No it's FAT. Not going to be gone for a while.

**stretchypanda** · 04-27-2006, 05:48 PM

Just sayin'. My savings account was huge, too, but then I had to pay rent.

**Moogy** · 04-27-2006, 05:54 PM

I have thirty quintillion dollars in my wallet right now.

My savings account has several googleplexes of euros, dollars, and every other currency.

You spelled googolplex wrong.

That's why you sit on your ass and post on the FFR forums all the time. Obviously someone with that much cash would rather post on internet forums than use Bill Gates as a footstool and using $1000 bills to light the cigar that the president personally rolled for them...

I'm a moron because I don't watch the Simpsons? Don't get me started on that stupid show.

I'm sorry. I should have used "ignorant".

sertman · 04-27-2006, 08:20 PM

It doesn't matter what you used, the fact is is that your sense of humor sucks enough for me to take you seriously. And the fact that you expect me to know a reference from a TV cartoon that's been running for over 17 years and with 374 episodes is ignorant in itself.

AasumDude · 04-27-2006, 08:23 PM

That's okay, I forgive you. Try to keep up for next time ^_^

Refer to the last bit, and keep in mind that I don't need all the bullshit that most people spend half their money on.
Internet connection + my music-making equipment + pot + food = happy.
(Also, pot is a lot cheaper in Canada)

Not difficult. Keep in mind that I'm most likely talking about Ontario.

ROFL CANADA. Did you think I was talking about Switzerland or something?

I never once said I was leaving at 18, I said I'd be leaving when I had the chance, as in, after I'm done with my studies.
Not to mention, once again, that it would be no harder to find a job in Canada than it would here, and it's not nearly as difficult to make a living as it's cracked up to be, it's just that retards don't know how to manage their money, and most people are retards.

Simple. Vacuuming and dishwashing are not by any means difficult tasks. Not to mention that I'm not stupidly anal about my surroundings like some of you guys probably are.

I never said or implied that you planned on staying in America.

Haha, the American way.

But seriously, I figured you were going to Europe or something substantial. I would hardly count Canada, it's not drastically different from America like Italy or Germany would be (at least from a cultural standpoint).

Anyway I figured you were trying to hightail it out of here as soon as possible, which would've been monumentally stupid unless you had hit the lottery or something. If you're going to at least go to college first, then that's perfectly understandable, and I wish you the best.

Just stay out of Quebec. >_>

What about paying your bills and taxes?
