Why do all humans follow the same path?

[theoipod]

I've been wondering why all of us people from wealthy countries decide to stay here.
I'm 14 and think that later in my life I'll go to a cheap place like Jamaica and just chill and smoke joints.
You may ask:Where you going to get the money?
I'll start my life by making some money and saving up to buy a house over there and i'll get some friends to come around with me.
and i'll have my own plantation of course.
So for all you adults out there I'd like to ask you why you stay in rich countries and have the same old life as everybody else?

Because Jamaica is a dirt hole, other than a couple tourist spots. America has everything I could ever want, to live in. I'll visit other countries, for sure. That's it.

[Staurm]

Because I haven't saved up enough money to run away to India again yet.

This is the reason pot is illegal, it makes people stupid. There's more to life than chilling and smoking joints. America>Jamaica.

You must consider some of the things you seem to be taking for granted in your country that raise the cost of living. ie., Police, fire, paramedics, paved roads, clean water, doctors, hospitals,libraries,phone/internet, electricity....

It's no fun being an illegal alien...

I think that if i moved to another country i would never feel like i fitted in..
I would like to bye another house abroad and spend maybe 2 months there at a time but i would always want a house in england so i can always go 'home'

[stinkyattic]

You know what they say...
It's a nice place to visit but ya wouldn't want to live there.
Even though American health care is overpriced, I like knowing it's there.
And even though my family can be a bit much at times, they're good to have only a couple hours away.

[Nochowderforyou]

Jamaica is a very poor, and very dangerous place to live. It wouldn't be my choice place to live.

I don't mind where I am at all. I have no complaints.

ACTUALLY
you're right.. you just don't realize you can do that when you retire....if you were smart with your money. and perhaps if you haven't married yet.

If i retire alone....i will travel all over the world and "just chill and smoke joints" with the locals... but maybe learn about different cultures... and expand my knowledge with different views of life.....
there's nothing like talking to a wise man and learning from him:hippy:

until then, I have to somehow find a way to make enough money to do all that and keep being as happy as i can...
