If there is decent education and healthcare then I sorta belong there I guess. :P

Pretty lucky to be in the US. Not a fan of Republican ideology and big corporate interest making the direction of the country, but still prefer here. I always thought about maybe the UK, but this weird aristocracy shit does not make sense to me.
No, but given recent events here in Australia, I feel some of them don't belong here.
hey, that was average temp including nights (for some reason)
it reached 30c in some places in July and high 20s in june. and its been pretty hot most august. not as hot as some countries, but hot for us!
though i went to Rome in August....the heat! thats no way to live!
Yes. Living in the southern U.S. is annoying for me. Believing in socialism, being a democrat, and being an atheist can make people look at you funny down here. I would love to live some where in Europe, but I feel some of my other beliefs would conflict with the cultures over there too. Things like capital and corporal punishment. I'd probably be a crazy right winger over there and a crazy left winger over here. :P
Honestly the south feels better than the north in the summer. I grew up in the Syracuse NY area, and 90F/32C with 89%-95% humidity feels like death is all around you. Whereas in Raleigh, NC (my current residence, Syr will always be home) it just feels seasonable. It's amazing what 700mi/1130kM difference in latitude can be...
Maybe a bit. There's a lot of things that I disagree with when it comes to values among people my age, but I don't think there's anywhere I'd fit better these days.
I do indeed feel like I don't belong in my country. I don't share the mentality of those around me and don't agree with the point of view of the majority. There are serious flaws in education, economy and social policies which are terribly foreboding in the long-term.
I do have a country I'd rather be in, but not having a lot of luck finding a job there. Oh well...
I would NEVER leave the UK
Fayettenam, great place... Never want to leave here.
All sarcasm aside I don't mind it as I'm used to it but I don't belong here that's for sure. I have to say if you can live out in the country or a village in the UK then that was the way to live. Towns nearby with one major city is perfect while you live in the relative solitude called English countryside or village.
Hey everyone
I don't feel like I belong on the planet... does that count
Well, I kind of wish the south had won their freedom but still, USA is the greatest country on Earth So I wouldnt want to live anywhere else.. too many fanatics or communists.
You need to move to Scotland you will fit in well with 45% of them.
Heh, climate wise, I'm from Poland where summers are sometimes hot but more often it's a bit of heat and a lot of fail weather (like for example whole July raining, meh), I've moved to Greece to live with my husband and I enjoy the solid sunny 35 degrees summers it's just I need to watch my skin as it gets red easily. But I do enjoy proper hot summers. My sister though often travels to Svalbard, Norway for her work and when she calls me and says "oh it's quite warm today, +10", I'm like "how can you even live like that and enjoy it". In Greece 10 degrees is winter. In Poland it's kinda early spring temperature. On Svalbard, that's summer. Funny.
I lived in UK about half a year and I'm not even sure if there are proper seasons there or just all year the same... Well there was 2 weeks warmth in summer but friends I lived with said that was an anomaly.
One thing I regret is that summer is ending. I wonder if there's a country with warm climate all year round and not too humid (too many insects with that) that is well developed and safe to live, that would be my dream destination.
P.S. The only thing I don't understand about summer here is people overdoing the air conditioning thingy, I wonder how much electricity bills all those shops pay as when you go inside during summer it feels like you entered a fridge.
