It's got all the gray skies you could ever want and I'm pretty sure it's not the murder capital of New York state anymore! What more could you ask for in a city?
That's right you dirty Swedonians. JayJay is coming' to town!
Yeah, come on Tobb! It would be fun...
But It's cold here! And uh, socialism! He wouldn't like it I swear. We have tiny rabbits and shit, with big teeth. Scary buggers. Kills americans on sight.

He's lying, Jay! Swedon is a paradise where you get paid to go to school and every store has to serve you a free breakfast buffet by law! The wind is also always at your back when cycling because Swedon works that way.

Oh, and free sausages on sundays.
Holy shit, where are my fucking sausages?! I'm marching to Stockholm right now, someone owes me years worth of sausages. Also, free breakfasts. Fucking hell, someone is paying for this.
But that wind in your back when you're cycling is totally true, even when you're driving a car.
Baltimore is cheap, though we have plenty of crime to go around (those two things kind of go hand in hand). Plus, we have some great transportation that'll take you to hot spots in DC or Pennsylvania cheaply. Pretty good music scene, if you like punk and metal or club shit. Decent football team, horrible baseball team, FUCKING CRAB CAKES WHAT MORE DO YOU WANT?
Not to sound mean but for someone who wants to expierence culture than dismissing New York and California seems silly. Both are transient areas where you can enjoy many different cultures.

@AlexanderSheen: The weather will change into whatever your heart desires due to revolutionary tech known as "The Bubble". It will adjust temperature, weather and wind speed in a sphere around you to your liking!
@TobbRobb Sure is good times, even if it isn't very much!
@Pezen What probably happened is that you live in an area that's been invaded by the Norwegians in the underground shadow war between Swedon, Norway and south east Australia. They're out for your sausages!
America is not really the best place for culture... Just sayin

Not to turn this into a "fuck yeah America" thread, but you're wrong.
So you're saying America is the best place in the world for culture? Really?
I didn't say America had no culture just that if culture is that important to you maybe a civilization only a few hundred years old isn't the best choice.
I am mainly asking here because... most if not all sites online that are about moving into places are always filled with IMMENSE bias. I thought I should ask here.
Let me just say this, Montana is shit... at best. This is the place where dreams go to die.
I want to live in a place with actual CULTURE and with more than 100K people. A city is something I would love to live in because... it would actually have something to do in it! Crime... the less the better.
Seriously, I just want a cheap, safe, but interesting place to live anymore. Montana can fuck itself with how terrible it is!
Edit: I refuse to move to New York or Texas... or Detroit... or Los Angeles... or anywhere in Californa.
I lived in Detroit trust me when I say its a smart move to not live here.
It's probably a good thing you want to stay in America. Moving to any first world country these days is practically impossible without having a job there waiting for you.
Madison, WI and Minneapolis/ St Paul are both great areas. I currently live in Milwaukee and would like to move to either one at some point in my life. Both have miles and miles of biking trails, have plenty of things to do, and have young, educated, outgoing people. Both have plenty of nearby lakes to enjoy. Crime rates are also relativly low. The thing is that they are both super liberal, which can either be a good or bad thing depending how you look at it.
@Jay444111: dude, move to Seattle. I've lived in LA my whole life so I'm obviously biased towards it, but I won't deny it's got a lot of problems too, and you refuse to live in CA for some reason, so go to Seattle. It's a cool city, both figuratively and literally.
Seattle is pretty nice honestly, or a place in oregon. Chicago is alright, I live about 5 or so hours from there but i usually go up and visit regularly, its a decent city but has some crime problems in the bad parts of town.
Edit: If you feel more adventurist try Amsterdam, about 90 percent of the population speaks English and renting a house in the suburbs can be decently cheap, I know my brother found some good deals.

What does the age of a civilization have to do with its culture? It's more impressive actually that a nation that's only been around for about 300 years has influenced so much of modern culture. New York City and Los Angeles are the two cultural capitals of the world, period. Doesn't matter how old they are.
Come to Canada! I suggest Montreal or Vancouver because Toronto and Ottawa are reputed to be extremely boring. I bet they're all a lot cheaper than big cities in America.
@theguy: @ThePickle: I think jay needs to define what he means with culture... Because the thing with culture is that it's different in other countries. Not worse or better, just plain fucking different. Some people like to say that the age or size of a country determines the amount of "culture" it holds, which is true. But someone might not necessarily want a lot of quality British culture, or the pure breadth of options America holds. He might just be really interested in the polish army or something, no point in moving to texas for culture in that case.

The thing about America is that is that not only does it have its own unique culture, it also encapsulates so many other ones. That's why I saw it's the best in the world. It's one of the few things I think America does best in the world.
As for our friend Jay, he is going to have to narrow it down. Maybe after life in Montana, any culture seems fine, but each area of the country has its own culture. Boston is different from Philadelphia is different from Chicago is different from Portland. It depends on what he wants and what he finds interesting.
Nope... I don't really want to live in another country. I only speak English anyway...
...you understand people in countries besides 'Murica speak English, right?
Actually, you know what. No, no one else speaks English, especially not Australians. Indeed, this isn't a lovely country with one of the highest standards of living on earth, amazing weather, and a cosmopolitan society.
Burlington VT is a cool little city that isnt too crazy. I would also say Denver. I don't know why you don't like NY, but i grew up there and its a pretty amazing place.

Yes, America is the best place for culture.
The age of a civilization has a whole lot to do with it's culture. Maybe we'll end up having to agree to disagree but I can't believe that New York and L.A are cities of more cultural importance than Rome, Athens or Egypt. Considering almost all expression of human thought took place in Europe and Asia for thousands of years before America was even a thing I don't see why this is an argument. I can understand how someone might prefer the culture of one particular place but I while might prefer a painting by my cousin to one by Leonardo Da Vinci I can admit that Da Vinvi's work holds more cultural importance.

Dude relax. Moving to a new country is a hassle. He wouldn't know anybody and (probably) doesn't have any family. Also Australia is a very long flight no matter where you live in the country (from the east coast it's a full 24 hours). And if all Australians are as dickish as you were just now, I'd say he's making the right choice not moving there.
P.S. You don't get to say "'Murica" unless you live here. If you don't have to deal with the bullshit of living here, you don't get the little things.

At one point, yes Rome and Athens were the capitals of culture. But not anymore. It changes. It's changed before and it'll probably change again. We're not living in Ancient Greece. The Greece that gave us Socrates and Plato no longer exists. But the America that gave us Tom Waits, Charles Mingus, Kurt Vonnegut, and Steven Spielberg still does exist, which is why I say it's the best place for cultural activity and innovation. Unless you own a time machine.
Dudes... calm down, I know many other countries speak English, but I am mainly interested in living in America only for a while... besides, I get bored of England just by watching TV shows in that country... no offense. But Britain seems like a larger Montana surrounded by water.

@Jay444111: As scared as I am of having you in my city: Chicago.
Doesn't Chicago get absorbed by ice constantly? I mean... I have seen pictures of cars ENCASED in ice... I can handle snowy areas just fine. But ice filled areas in my expierence... is HELL! Considering the fact that if someone from another state like Texas driving in Montana, in winter. They better have written their will and a apology note for anyone they run into after they crash. Ice is bad and stuff mkay.
Also, yes, any culture is better than Montana culture... by default. We are basically dead when it comes to culture here. The only, and I mean ONLY thing we got... is a shittong of Lewis and Clark statues... and only them! Boring! I want to see a damn statue like the Walter Johnson statue in Washington DC! Trust me when I say this... you will either think of THE THING! or PROTOTYPE! I want weird crap without having to go to Japan!

You forgot one: the highest number of species of animal that will kill you and eat your eyes.

Maybe because you spent your time there watching TV.
Yeah... I fully admit that I fucked up on that one! I have horrible typos sometimes.
What I meant was any tv show based in that country always seems so damn boring a dreary... also, it always shows the landscape. It looks like a more green and boring Montana surrounded by a barricade of water all around... BORING! No offense to British people. But damn... It is boring just watching it on tv!

Firstly, I'm going to guess maybe you haven't experienced Jay before. My comment was aimed at the sheer ignorance he has shown about basically every single thing he has ever spoken about. My "dickish"ness is completely justified.
Also, if you were moving somewhere, why would you care about the length of the flight?
Finally, I'll say 'Murica in this context, as my experience with Jay (as detailed above) essentially reinforces every negative stereotype ever associated with America and Americans. I don't generally believe those, of course, but a derisive term for someone representing those negative qualities seemed appropriate when I was trying to speak derisively about someone.

Oh, and finally, I'll say whatever I please and you don't get to tell me otherwise.
Culture is anywhere you look for it. I'm sure Montana isn't as bad as you seem to think it is. I would suggest if your dead set on moving out of your state, to take a road trip. Be a drifter for a year, go from state to state and find some menial job, get to know the city for a while and then move onto the next state. It's a great way to learn about your country, to get some life experience and to meet interesting new people. If you find a place you love, set down some roots.
