If you are going to DebOOonK an expert then you have to at least provide a source with credentials of equal or greater relevance. Even then, it merely shows that some experts disagree with each other.

You can only live in Norway if you marry a Norwegian, which is why moving is an actual option for Dave, whereas we are screwed.

Norway knows it is one of the best countries on the planet and hold that policy to prevent them from being invaded by people like me.

Why Dave still lives in the US at all when Norway is an option is a huge mystery to me.

Nah, she could just marry me. I have the right to live and work (or even live and not bother working) in Norway by virtue of being British.

I guess that would work assuming she is a firm believer in masochism.

Trump, Clinton or Thork. All three would go out of their way to fuck her in the ass.

As much as we all love to hear about Thork's sexual fantasies, can we keep this thread on topic? Please and thank you.

There are other ways to get in such as working permit (but you need a job already) or staying with a family as an au pair.  But yeah, really hard.  Not like the US at all.

As for why...
Language mostly.  I didn't know it and I had a job so she moved here when we got married.  Now we're moving back.

Also: Trump sucks.

I need you to hook me up, Dave. Find a Norwegian chick and tell her about how you know this cool guy on the Flat Earth Society that is mildly rich and wants to move there.

Actually, forget the mildly rich part. I'm sure even mildly rich here is poor there.

I suppose I should actually visit before wanting to move there. Pretty dumb fantasy to want to just move to another country.

Time to get really interested in foreign exchange programs.

Apply to a university there.
Or, just go for a week (or two) visit.

To be fair, Vindictus lives in Australia. Just about any other country has better asylum seeker policy than we do, so it seems like a good deal to us.

One thing that struck me about Norway was how incredibly antisocial they are, this was particularly evident in Svalbard. How much do you have to hate your neighbours that you find the tiny town of Longyearbyen 'too busy' and decide to live outside the town limits halfway up a snow-covered hillside with polar bears prowling around outside?

That sounds like paradise. I love people who mind their own business and don't try to talk to me too much.
