If you were forced to immigrate FROM the United States where would you go?

The circumstances can be natural disaster or persecution.

    According to several of those ridiculous online quizzes, I should move to Spain. I think I'm okay with that.

    Now there's a thoughtful, intelligent response. I think I'm going to start calling you Xenophobic Zack.

    Thank you!  I'd be honored.   You've got your finger on my pulse and I find it very exciting!  It's nice to find someone who gets me.

  •  Meh,  I totally understand why a lot of people would say that. Based on the government and Putin.
    My interest there is the rural countrysides.  I could hide in my own frozen world ice fishing and hunting so I could deal with it.  Plus I have a fascination with Russian and Slavic peasant culture.

    Well then, f*ck you too!  

    Actually, I have a fear of the place.  Most of my family didn't escape the pogroms.  I am forever grateful a handful found their way here.

    Probably to Australia.  The culture, history and artwork is amazing. I hear the weather is nice as well.

    A teacher at my school sold everything and he and his wife moved to NZ. He couldn't find a job and came back penniless.

    Oh, the humanity!

    Actually, that's a very sad story.  You'd think a teacher would have enough sense to plan out these things properly.  I wonder how he managed his lesson plans.

    I would love to visit there anyway...so if I have to go somewhere I can kill to birds with one stone. 
    To see all the historical and religious sites there along with the beautiful lands. 
    My second thought was Canada but it's colder up there and Mex....I don't speak the language.

    I have talked to some who have went and they say it not as dangerous as the news etc make it sound. Main thing is to stay in the good parts....just like in US, you don't go to E St Louis or S Chicago etc.

    LOL.

    Visiting might be a nice treat for you but, have you ever spoken to an Israeli?  If so, and you don't hold their pompous attitude in disdain, you haven't met a true Israeli.  You couldn't pay me enough to live in Israel among those people, much less visit it.

    Not fair to all Israelis. I have been there and did not experience that. PLUS...you are an Israeli citizen, as am I and all other Jews.
