Well being from 'gods own country', I would be lothe to leave.
I spent 5 and a half years in the army, and although I saw a lot of the world, and yes, most of that was during some sort of strife. I love Norn Iron (thats Northern Ireland to the rest of you). Even though we have more than our share of socio-economic problems, this is my homeland, and I Love It.
If I was pushed to move country, for one reason or another, I'd head to Canada. I always find Canadians to be friendly and courtious, and I always feel like its home with an American'ish accent. As for moving to the US. B0ll0ck$ to that!!!!!! No way I will ever set foot in that country again. Yes come to the US and be treated like a criminal as soon as you get of the plain. No chance I'll ever be finger-printed just to enter a country.
