Just for the fun of it. Pick your country. My reasoning says Brazil is way down my list.

I'll gladly and proudly choose the United States of America over Brazil any day.

I suppose I am just old and fed up with the way the country is going and I don't want to be here to see the collapse and breakup of the U.S.

We are no longer a democracy, when two or three percent of the population can corrupt the institution of marriage in spite of the wishes of the majority of the people.

That is only one example. I could sit here for hours listing the problems this country has and it is the responsibility of both parties.

Obummer is a whole discussion which I don’t want to get into.

America was/is the greatest country in the world. It is what it is going to become is the reason I would like to move.

I agree our country is not what it used to be and the majority of our leaders have lost the intended purpose for positions they hold and many of the country's citizens have lost their moral compass along with other founding values. However, to say one would rather live in Brazil or most other countries, I believe does not follow the "voice of reason". While we have our problems and we are not what we once were, we are still the greatest nation on this earth and we hold the most opportunity and promise. It is up to us to right the ship even though we face incredible odds and headwinds. We must not give up. We must keep fighting for what our forefathers and the founding fathers fought and died for.

It isn't up to the government to dictate to us what we should believe and what is right. It is up to us as society to lead the charge. Along with that, conflict and difference in opinion will arise but it is still up to us to right the ship. Our kids and grand kids will look back at us and wonder why we let the country get in the shape it is in.

Bottom line, if anyone wants to throw in the towel and move to another country they think is better, then don't wait another minute. Pack your bags and hit the road but don't try to come back when it is realized the grass isn't greener on the other side of the fence. Don't forget, there are millions that have come and are doing everything they can to flee from where they are and come to this country some seem to think is so bad.

Interesting choice. Have you done any research on the crime and cost of living in Brazil? Speaking of your back, how about the health care system. Have you looked into their healthcare

It is really a shame that the America we learned about in school, is not the one we have today.

This is no longer my country. It belongs to them. If I knew then what I know now, right after I finished my four years in the military, I would have packed up everything with the family, moved to another country I have in mind and renounced my citizenship. Too old now.

I'm curious which country in which you would rather live and be a citizen. Care to share?
