Maybe you should be asking WHY on Earth would anyone want to live in Sri Lanka or Myanmar or Bangledesh, three countries that have been plagued by very bad tropical storms in the past 7 years! More than 4,000 people died or went missing as a result of the November 2007 Cyclone Sidr alone! Tropical storms can happen anyplace in the world. Even London, England got hit with a tornado a few years back! See link below.

Maybe you should ask why live in Japan, what about the Kobe earthquake? and what about the Boxing Day Tsunami in 2004 there caused approximately 350,000 deaths and many more injuries! You don't have to live in California to experience earthquakes! While they  are well known of particularly in the Pacific Rim, an earthquake can strike anyplace in the world.

Do you mean to imply that wild animals live ONLY in the US? That there are no more elephants, tigers, and other animals in Africa or Asia?  No more deadly snakes, spiders or crocodiles in Australia?  Please.

Also, there are bears and raccoons in continental Europe, too. In fact, you can find bears on four different continents!  Coyotes are not just in the US. They can be found from Canada all the way down to Panama...and if you don't bother them, they won't bother you.

There are many national parks all across the US to visit, and they all have a diversity of terrain to enjoy. If you like nature, you'll never be bored in America. They don't call this place America The Beautiful for nothing, you know. We have the Giant redwoods, lots of great beaches and coastline "from sea to shining sea", beautiful mountains, awe inspiring deserts and plains. If you ever come to Oregon, you should go  to see Crater Lake..you'll be amazed at how blue it is!  If you prefer city life, well we in America can accommodate you on that, too. NYC, LA, San Francisco, Seattle are only 4 of some of the more exciting places to visit here...and with more arts and culture than you can shake a stick at...you can see everything from Shakespeare to Santana...and still have time to dine out at restaurants with cuisines from virtually every region of the world!

So who on Earth would want to live in America? At least 303,824,646 people want to....people like ME who were born and raised here, other who are naturalized citizens, and including people who every day are risking their lives crossing the borders and coming here illegally to live!

I think Neil Diamond put the sentiment best in his 1980 song, America:

Far

We've been traveling far

Without a home

But not without a star

Free

Only want to be free

We huddle close

Hang on to a dream

On the boats and on the planes

They're coming to America

Never looking back again

They're coming to America

Home, don't it seem so far away

Oh, we're traveling light today

In the eye of the storm

In the eye of the storm

Home, to a new and a shiny place

Make our bed, and we'll say our grace

Freedom's light burning warm

Freedom's light burning warm

Everywhere around the world

They're coming to America

Every time that flag's unfurled

They're coming to America

Got a dream to take them there

They're coming to America

Got a dream they've come to share

They're coming to America

They're coming to America

They're coming to America

They're coming to America

They're coming to America

Today, today, today, today, today

My country 'tis of thee

Today

Sweet land of liberty

Today

Of thee I sing

Today

Of thee I sing

Today

that's the world in general..the animals were here before we were so they are going to roam as they so choose to. As far as earth quakes and other natural disasters..that's what they are... natural disasters..that's some of the things we have to go through living on planet earth!

Every country has its faults and issues.

I am in the US and I am proud of my country...but man it is hard here.  I can see the US turning into so many other countries where there is no middle class.  The gap is widening between rich and poor and the middle class is disappearing.

I would not even know where to start if I wanted to move to another developed country.  I don't know how it is to get a job there or if my skills will be values (MBA, international business).  I would like to find the job first then move there, but where do I look and why would they hire me when they can hire a local?

I could move to my husband's home country but I am not sure I would make the transition well to a developing country.  I might but the kids surely would not.

Having read others accounts of why they like America, I can see why some are thinking of moving house to Canada. Some from the UK think America is wonderful.

Alas, ar**s'd hedgehogs and roundabouts in icy conditions make more sense. But carrying guns and knives of all sizes in almost every place in the USA, now that is perfectly good politics and public safety.

yes we have coyotes, they are very common in my area and i see them all the time. but why fear them?  the second they see a person, they turn tail and run. just keep small pets inside and don't provide food for them and they aren't a problem.

yes we have bears, but how many people are killed by them? very few. bears avoid people and if you're stupid enough too get to close to one, it's your own fault if you get mauled.

and as far as natural disasters, where can you go that doesn't have them?
