Want to expat! Hungry for knowledge

[Joe]

I've engaged in very positive discussion with you guys. While some of you are saying I'm not "listening" to your advice, it's simply not the case. You are ignoring the positive notes of these threads over the last couple of days, and instead judging me for being offended by statements like this, which is just meant as an insult.

I'm not at all sorry for responding negatively to such disrespect. If you give disrespect, that's what you will get, at least from me.

Sorry, I was just trying to bring some levity to the conversation.

You can't be surprised that if you go around spreading conspiracy theories that many people are going to think you are nuts. And it is true that psychological counseling in Baires is relatively cheap and there are a lot of specialists here.

BTW, you write very well for a guy that works at McDonalds. Do you have some college experience?

There's been so much said by so many I've lost track of it all. I don't particularly feel like going back and seeing who said what. I'm just letting it go and hoping people still will want to talk to me. There will be no more from me about the NWO etc, but since I've determined that Argentina isn't for me and probably won't be coming on here much more it's kinda a moot point anyway.

But thanks for apologizing. Perhaps I've been crying foul.

I took a semester of college and found it wasn't for me. The short answer to your question is that I'm wasted potential. I'm a hard worker but some very unfortunate things have happened and I need to rebuild my savings.

Well it seems you are making the logical decision here.

Some of the members thought you were a troll from your posts, but you seemed to me to just be a naive kid caught up in some romantic idea about coming to Argentina based on reading some glowing report of life here.

As the regulars here know, you are certainly not the first, nor the last who has had an unrealistic, romantic idea to move to Argentina.

I think everyone here has taken an interest in you here - the mentors trying to help the novice from making a big mistake.

What are the "unfortunate things" that have happened to you? Perhaps if we knew that we could offer more relevant advice.

I suppose I can agree with that. I can admittedly get a little trollish when people are offensive and I forget it's hard to see "who started it first" on a forum. It's only compounded by the fact that this is extremely serious for me. People are free to believe anything that they want, but my belief involves the notion that my friends and family will all be dead in the near future, and that's real, man, you gotta understand that. Been losing sleep.

I'm not normally one to want to be "in the spotlight" but this was a good experience for me, the advice was all really strong and overall I think this is a good-natured helpful community. I think this thread can provide excellent information for any other "newbs" that come here wondering what they're getting into.

As far as the unfortunate events that landed me in debt at the age of 24... that would be a complex and tiring matter for this board, even moreso than the topic of the NWO. I appreciate the notion though.

I was guessing that maybe you were the victim of some get quick rich scheme. The young, naive, impressionable, optimistic kid like yourself is the prime target of the get quick rich scheme huckster.

Have you considered getting more education?

If you are worried about the government, one thing they can't take away from you is your education and skills. Good education and skills are more valuable than a big bank account and can't be stolen from you.

No, I was more or less being blackmailed by a horrible person and dealt with it badly.

I totally see the value in education and I want to go to trade school or a school that specializes in computer programming, which is my real passion. The four-year thing, in the exact place I was at, wouldn't have worked out. It was a waste overall then but now at least I know better what kind of future I want and what type of school is a good way for me to get there. Like everything else though, I've put it on hold and thus here I am.

Well, being partnered to a computer programmer I can say it's definitely a young person's game especially considering the lightning speed at which technology evolves and the need for equally rapid evolution of skills. At 24 you're nearing the time where if you're not wading knee deep and acquiring skills all the time it will be something that you would be forever running to catch up with. Maybe you can take out loans and go back to school if that's something you're serious about--you're really at the time in your life where you'll regret not going back, or feel "behind" if you go when you're older. Time goes by fast!
