Have you ever lived anywhere else besides where you live now?

RE: Have you ever lived anywhere else besides where you live now?
I live half a planet away from where I grew up, and I'm so liberal I make Jeremy Corbyn look like Margaret Thatcher.

And what's 'NPR'?

Yeah I've lived a bunch of places. A handful states in the US, a handful of countries in Africa, Dubai and Oman.

That's not what NPR is, that's just NPR s cover.   Everyone knows it's a liberal plot to feminize men and turn our country into a socialist dystopia.  That's why we have to get rid of it, along with it's child indoctrination wing...Sesame Street.

I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

Nope. Same country, same state, same county, same town, same house, hell, even the same bedroom for 27 1/2 years, although Dad is looking to have the attic remodeled so I can have more room there.

Born in Florida, moved back and forth and in between California and Florida for many years. Also, Baja California, Mexico as a teen, Sonora, Mexico for a bit, back to Cali, and now Arizona. I'm very much on the left and progressive.

Funny but now I have little desire to travel and none whatsoever to ever move again.  Give me roots.  Hell, never mind, I'll grow my own.

Validates that there is pretty much no conservatives on Atheist forums.

Myself, I live in my RV and am a full time nomad.
