Millions worldwide would like to switch countries
 
The name says it all, Some 700 million people worldwide, or more than all the adults of North and South America combined, think the grass is greener on the other side of the fence and want to permanently move to another country, a poll showed Tuesday. The least likely to want to emigrate were Asians -- only one in 10 Asian adults said they would move to another country.

Americans always say they want to move to different country, but it's really just our constant attempt to rebel with familiarity -- and the Government.


An all too common phrase is, "Well then I'm heading to Canada!"


Truthfully, 90% of Americans would be helpless outside of their comfort zone.

I would love to get out of this country. Its so corrupted with greed and full of liers

Kinda like all countries. Reminds me of that saying..."Right now your government is doing things you think only other governments do".

1 out of 10 Asians may sound low, but it's still well over 100 million, just from China.
I personally like where I live, I may want to visit other countries but I like liveing here. Green grass means it's growing..and I hate mowing grass.

That "sort of" explains why a lot of young Americans who just graduated from university (with M.A. or Ph.Ds) are moving to Canada to get jobs.

Canada: absorbing America's intelligence since 1992 :vsign:

How many is "a lot"? And who has better universities? America or Canada? If Canada is absorbing intelligence, maybe it has to because it can't produce any of it's own.

A "lot of" Japanese dream of going to university overseas, and the first country on their list is America, particularly if they are looking for a graduate-level degree. And more Japanese work and study in America than all other countries combined.

Moving to another place won't change anything as long as people change themselves in fact.

That wont ever happen.

Did you even read the article? It's not Americans that want to move.

*sigh*
