I'm concerned about the future.
Democracies are fragile things.
The American Experiment might someday fail.
I hope it doesn't happen in my lifetime, but if it does, or if something equally bad happens, I may look into moving elsewhere.
I'm just trying to be somewhat prepared. 
āGiven those parameters, I think the only country that would work for me is Australia.
Specifically, Adelaide or Perth.āā¦ā¦
NFW.
Vicious spiders the size of obese hamsters. Fook that sheit.
KRIKEY. 
PS. Not to mention the dingos which will eat your babies.
I share your concerns.
Australia has a lot of good points.
I also like Spain as an alternativeā¦ they have a very high Quality of Life score
lots of details to figure out
reading the residency visa rules makes me sleepyā¦ LOL
Yeah, America is good right now.
There's no guarantee that it'll always be good.
As long as it doesn't get terrible, I'll be very happy to live here, and I never enjoyed moving anyway. 
Yup. Good olā U.S. Of A. Still unbeatable for the most part.
Mars I imagine will be good to move to someday too.
Some peeps think I communicate from there already. So I got that goin for me.
Not another country, just another time. 
. 1978 for me.
Most of my family live in Mallorca. I would move there in a heartbeat!
ā¦.on a permanent basis, anywhere where it has a low population!!
Crowds of people suckā¦for me
Smaller villages/country towns are much more friendly and far less stressful in moving about than city lifeā¦ā¦no sitting in traffic for hours each day, standing shoulder to shoulder on trains, hustle and bustle on the street, airports to get anywhere.
So that said, If I had to move from Aus on a permanent basis, it would be New Zealand, Canadaā¦maybe some of the pacific islands.
Maybe Ireland, or Scotland (once they join the EU 
). But Iām happy where I am too.
Relocating to another location on earth is like changing seats on the Titanic. The surface of the earth is hostile.
I have put much thought into the study of different times, different places, different cultures and different societies on earth, but all are inherently hostile and evil, because they are all down here, on earth.
I have gotten the opportunity to travel, become educated, listen to Led Zeppelin, eat double cheeseburgers, walk across the Brooklyn Bridge, hike to the summit of mount Whitney, tour the inside of the Kremlin, hold a BLF GT94 in each hand, and feel, blowing powerfully in my face, forces of earthly pleasure and earthly happiness, in addition to earthly evil.
I've never been to Heaven.
At this point in my life, if I felt it was imperative to move from the US, I would simply pack up and go back to Canada where I am from.
Considering America is a Constitutional Republic, I am good right here in the Deep South of the USA.
ANDā¦ part time in CO. 
Iād pick Canada. If I were to leave America, Iād love to settle in America Jr. :laughing:
Went there ages ago for a couple weeks (north of Montreal), was a hoot!
Not if you like gum, vaping, cats, or freedom in general, though. Not trying to beat up on the country, just cautioning.
An acquaintance went there on a business trip a while ago, and while he said itās a beautiful place to visit, with some hot babes, he was horrified by some of the laws (and penalties).
My parents were in public service and we moved a lot when we were younger. It was really nice, overall a good experience. Sister and I ended up with multiple passports and cultural/linguistic skills that are valuable for employment.
I still think that the US is the best country ever, but there are a few aspects that are not bad elsewhere.
Up until recently i would have said the USA because they believe in freedom and the 2nd gives people the means to defend it eventually but the way things are going it will probably end up worse than europe for big government, restriction of liberties and ideological conformity.
American dream, you have to be asleep to believe it 
On my list to live itās located somewhere between North Korea and Belarus.

Yeah, I never understood the appeal of ultranationalism that seems to be so prevalent in the U.S.
I like the U.S., but we have serious problems that most other nations don't have, so we're far from perfect.
It is a dream. This is why people wait many years to become US citizens. The folks down south risk their lives and pay smugglers a lot of money to be able to get their children into the country.
This country is also free in a sense that you can leave if you donāt like it.
I think that a small amount of nationalism is acceptable, but a large amount, or extreme nationalism?
That doesn't appeal to me at all.
And the people that like to say, "Love it or leave it." typically just don't like to hear anything negative about their country, even if the criticism is valid and true.
Also, if you have a contradictory opinion, you need to leave the country?
C'mon, grow up.
I think it's important to have an honest conversation about everything.
The first step to solving a problem is to admit that there is a problem, and all countries have problems.
I'm 45 years old now, but I researched different countries and areas of the world when I was in high school, and I've been fond of Australia since then.
I don't know if I will feel the need to try to move away, or if Australia will accept me, but I think about it from time to time.
