If you had to emigrate from America which country would you move to?

[_Jumper_]

I'd choose Canada.

[jenk]

1. Canada or England

.

[JohnKleeb]

2. give me some time lol

hummmmmmmmmmm

[_Jumper_]

4. Ashcroft: We begin deporting liberals in 5 minutes

.

[JohnKleeb]

6. ok anywhere in Europe

*hopes on train*
You should have said that in German lol Jumper.
Achtung!

[_Jumper_]

14. Maybe Arnold can teach me how to make Fascist statements in German

n/t

[7th_Sephiroth]

69. japan man

i'd be wicked famous there

[AP]

3. France, Sweden, Cananda

No?

[_Jumper_]

5. It varies for each person

I prefer Canada over those two because it is probably the least racist country in the world.

[JohnKleeb]

10. my factors are liberalism in the nation and if I have connections

That is if I am descedended from there so if I said Slovenia or Slovakia names that probably would be hard to find on most people's list that would be why. Ireland and Germany are on there too although with Ireland I wouldnt be alone because I think a good number of the other Mics would choose it too. DU Irish Brigade Rocks lol.

[_Jumper_]

15. Mics?

?

[JohnKleeb]

Irish silly

the Irish. I am part Irish. You have never heard that before. You know how German= Kraut and British= Limey, Irish are called Mics. Now if any of you have names for the Slovenians or Slovakians I gotta see those, so HA hehe. Yeah.

[DBoon]

31. Slovak = "Hunky"

At least according to my Slovak father-in-law

[JohnKleeb]

37. Yeah my grandma told me about that

[MaineDem]

33. Be careful there, JK

That term is pretty offensive to many of Irish descent.

[JohnKleeb]

36. Sorry

That was dumb I feel idiotic.;( Sorry if I offended.
I didnt mean it like that.

[dutchdemocrat]

34. Irish are also called

Paddy's

Rumour says that they tended to end up in the Paddy wagon alot for sipping whisky a little too much... lol

:)

[JohnKleeb]

39. Yea Ive heard that

[SiobhanClancy]

41. Don't forget "harps"

lol...strangely enough,I don't mind being called a mick(or whatever)...just don't call me an Orangeman(woman):)

[JohnKleeb]

45. wont call you an orangewoman

PROMISE

[Padraig18]

56. Let us not forget the ever-popular...

"Bog trotter", or "bogger", for short. I don't mind mick or Paddy (Paddy's my nickname, actually). :hi:

[JohnKleeb]

59. Ive never heard that before

[MaineDem]

60. My father would be incensed if he heard "Mick" used

He hated the term paddy wagon, too.

Funny how those things stuck with me all these years. :)

Slainte

[_Jumper_]

46. I knew the terms for the English and Germans...

...but I didn't know the term for the Irish. Thanks.

[JohnKleeb]

47. Sure

[IndianaGreen]

7. Canada

until Bush decides to invade it...

[Breezy du Nord]

8. Maybe Spain

Work on my Spanish. Or England, if I was feeling lazy. And i did actually like Mexico a lot when I was there.

[patdem]

9. give me a lesson in the language....Russia...a growing economy

[JohnKleeb]

11. hmm

I wouldnt mind Russia or another Slavic country.

[Zynx]

12. I was thinking...

Chile, Portugal, Spain, or Ireland. How's that for a weird mix of countries?;-)

[greatauntoftriplets]

13. Ireland or Luxembourg.

[JohnKleeb]

16. I knew it on Ireland

Luxembourg? why
Netural is why right or maybe you have been there and like it.

[greatauntoftriplets]

26. I am related to about half the country on my mother's side.

And, yes, I have been there. Luxembourg pretty much gave up on neutrality after World War II (having been occupied by Germany then and in World War I), and is now a NATO member. Small military, most get military training to join the police.

[JohnKleeb]

38. oh ok

[nomaco-10]

17. New Zealand

[cprise]

23. I'll second New Zealand

.

[FloridaJudy]

42. A third vote for NZ

Great climate. Good record on human rights. I even already speak the language, sort of.

Too bad about all those hobbits, though.

[WillyT]

43. I'm Thinkin New Zealand As Well...

How will the Southern Hemishere fare in a nuclear exchange anyhow? Will the powers that be send any missle south of the equator? And even if the nuclear winter is lighter down south, there's always that ever widening ozone hole.

Gotta bring alot of shades and sunscreen I guess.

:scared::evilgrin::scared:

[SammyWinstonJack]

18. Short of winning the lottery

which isn't even a possibility since I don't play, I am stuck here in Bushlandia indefinitely. But if I could emigrate from America, I think I would choose New Zealand. No particular reason, just have always thought it would be a real beautiful place to live. If I ever got the chance though, I would check it out more as a place to live.

[ret5hd]

19. a question first:

i would like to find out which countries would most fit these
criteria (the importance of each as listed):

1)non-oppressive govt
2)moderate to tropical weather
3)110v 60hz electricity ( i have thousands of dollars of woodworking tools i would really hate to replace)

[LittleApple81]

29. you can get transformers n/t

[NaMeaHou]

20. This should be in the lounge

I wouldn't emigrate.

[sasquatch]

21. Canada, Australia or Germany would be my choices

or should I say Deutchland:7

[JohnKleeb]

25. Deutchland

heh
I am part Kraut and you live near Cleveland right Sas, does it have a lot of them? I know Cleveland has a lot of South Slavs, I am part as is future President Kucinich :).

[sasquatch]

30. I'm in Southwest Ohio John

There is a heavy german population in Ohio and in my section of the state there are towns named Germantown and the like. The religions is what seperate the Gemans. Some towns are catholic German towns others are protestant German towns. There is German Village in Columbus and it has some awesome reteruant.

[Dirk39]

48. Hallo Krauts John and sasquatch from Amerka : It's DeutSchland!

Dirk

[JohnKleeb]

49. only part Kraut here

but Sas is mostly if not all.

[sasquatch]

70. Hi Dirk

:hi:

[laura888]

52. I'm full German

Since my great-grandparents, my grandparents AND my parents chose to marry fellow German-Americans in Texas.

But I'm dating a Mexican.

[sasquatch]

65. Good for you

You should date different people

[American Renaissance]

22. Jump In, The water is fine,

I moved to Canada with my father in the 80's, never looked back.

I live in Alberta, which is consitered ultra-rightwing by Canadian standards, but still more sane than anywhere in the US

[bobthedrummer]

24. Canada

eom

[Myra]

27. Canada

But that's my practical answer, 'cause it's doable,
and a great country.

If I could get legal residency anywhere, and didn't
have to worry about moving (and possible quarantine
of the cats) I'd be interested in New Zealand
and France in addition to Canada.

[Rick Myers]

28. oh...

Canada

[SiobhanClancy]

32. Ireland

no doubt about it:)

[MaineDem]

35. Ireland or New Zealand

I almost emigrated to Ireland in 1972 but I bought a car instead. Priorities of a 21 year old!

Seriously, I am considering them now.

[stopbush]

40. France

and in a heartbeat.

[name not needed]

44. ................................................

england for me. ive been there and i loved it.

[populistmom]

50. I'm a product of American schools

Because of that, my abilities in any other language besides my native English is very small. I can understand some French, but can't speak it well at all. I'd have to say Canada or New Zealand as my top choices, but France, Holland, or Sweden wouldn't be bad. I'd just have some language issues for awhile with the last three. I have told my husband that if they bring back the draft and this crowd stays in power, I want to try to get out (I have 3 boys). He works in healthcare and I will be in the next few years as well, so we would be in demand and could go if we wanted just about anywhere. In a way, I don't think he thinks I'm serious, but I'll be damned if I won't do what it takes to keep my children out of any of these nonsensical wars for corporate profit.

Sarah

[name not needed]

53. i could survive in italy

i can order food from a menu and ask where a bathroom is.

[Lydia Leftcoast]

51. Japan

I already have professional and personal ties there, and I've lived there before.

[flama]

54. Someplace I can drive to where I speak the language

Guess that means I'll learn Spanish or get a more reliable vehicle. ;-)

Canada sounds lovely in the summertime. But then, there's Quebec where I'd be expected to speak that pseudo-French.

The Gulf Stream brings warm weather to a little piece of England, but the van won't make it across the Atlantic. Australia and New Zealand, though beautiful, are way out of the range of my wheels.

Canada still sounds good. I'd just drive north until the van broke down and then take the bus. I hear there are jobs to be had in Canada! (Since I don't want to learn another language, India and Malaysia are out of the question for the job market.)

[YellowRubberDuckie]

55. Germany or England.

Both are great.
Duckie

[VOX]

57. New Zealand, Canada or England...

Specifically to Nelson or Christchurch; Vancouver; or London.

[radwriter0555]

58. MEXICO.

Why go anywhere else?

[FarLeftRage]

61. Oh! Canada!

My home and native land...

I live 50 miles south of the border.

[MercutioATC]

62. Costa Rica, hands down.

.

[Andy_Stephenson]

63. Germany is my first choice.

thats where I am going.

[Skittles]

64. ENGLAND

where my beloved grandparents are buried. I've always loved England.

[MrScorpio]

66. The Netherlands

In a heartbeat

[Syn_Dem]

67. I'd say

Canada. Beautiful country, for the most part beautiful government.

[Orangeone]

68. Morocco

I would like to "drop out" and move to Marrakesh. Morocco has an energy, and life to it. I don't want to move to another place that's almost the same as here.

[Tredge]

71. Easy!

I'd go to Canada, where I'm also a citizen. This whole damn continent is my playground!

Past that, if Canada went sour, I'd go to Deutschland.
