No he wont after reading your comments , which appear to be piss takes ? and thinking is this the general US attitude? then maybe its just as well i wont be able to get there .

I wont be here when the rot sets but it just wont be USA , but thanks for answering the post as after comparing your replys against other Europe forums on Spain Majorca etc, and how rude ignorant and smug some of the replys have been ! Now i feel more pleased than i was with going for option 2 . Where the people are sensible and friendly.

So thanks didnt help but made USA go down in my opinion.

Piss takes, maybe. Most people posting are Brits living in the US, who know how hard it is to emigrate here. I think they're trying to tell you in a very British way, taking into account the information you've given, you haven't a snowballs chance in Majorca.

It's nothing personal, the most asked question on the US forum is, "I'm a Brit and want to move to Florida, because we've been to Disney twice and it's great, we have no money, no skills and no family there." So everyone tends to answer with a bit of tongue in cheek mockery. The same thing crops up 3 or 4 times a week.

If you truly like Majorca and you seem to have some funds, that's a great choice.

Gosh, I was in the UK (London) only 3 weeks ago and I could swear that over 90% of the people I came across were white!

And from your description, Germans in Majorca seem very similar to Poles in England...

Yea i see where your coming from and being honest i can imagine you do get a lot but i am quite unique , I have ran businesses since age of 18 i am now 49 ,, worked hard now its time to cash in and use the money to retire ! So cant see why Have to be forced to put 1/2 million into a business which i dont want to do and dont need to if you see where i am coming from ?

If they said hey give us 100,000 for the privilage to stay here forever then being honest i would say yea ok . Job done i get the house near the beach with the mooring for the boat , speak the language love Wendys love taco bells etc, lol do me fishing bit of sunbathing swimming tour around the country and relax and enjoy the last years of my life !
Totally self funding no drain on the US economy at all .. So thats why i asked.

But well looks like its Majorca and Vorsprung Technich people lol

You didnt go to the edges i guess ?? Lewisham . Kingston , ??

And the Poles in England take the jobs in Mcdonalds and KFC and such like , lol They dont have no money at all !

The germans in Majorca own all the top end 1.5 million luxury propertys not quite the same !

Has someone mentioned the cost of healthcare and dental yet?

If one is self-employed, retired and/or with pre-existing health conditions, that person can pay big bucks just for premiums. Then, if you have surgery or get prescribed new meds that are still under patent or treatment, it's enough to make the person bankrupt.

Didn't take you long to prove that you're the TWAT that we all thought you were, did it?

The good thing about you emigrating is that there'll be one less racist bigot next time I go back for a visit. The best thing about you emigrating is that you won't be coming here either.

Oh, and I forgot to mention that when you emigrate, you'll be yet another ****ing immigrant in whatever nation will take you in. You may be the "right colour", but you'll be an immigrant all the same. Perhaps you'll meet some likeminded locals who will remind you to piss off back to where you came from, eh?
