Hypothetical Scenario: War gets out of hand, do you move?

[FrostyBoy]

If this war gets out of hand (which it could), would you move from where you live now and where would you move to? (country? city? mountains? etc)

[Frozzy]

No. War will never come to NZ and it is by far the safest English-speaking country in the world right now, IMO.

[Seeker]

Of course, it's not my country.

It's just that it would be damn hard to move anywhere where a million others wouldn't be going.

Instead of going throught the whole refugee thang, I'd just hide under my bed until the North Koreans went away.

Well since I am one of the people that can actually feel that this thread aims at them, I say it depends.

a nuke attack ( somehow ) in a different country: I am packing my bags to live on easter Island.

a conventional war, with an invasion into Israel: I am joining the army.

[CerberusIV]

I would move but I don't think Mars will be far enough away.

[Az]

how's that.

how much out of hand do you think this war can go ?

[Gangerolf]

If this war

what war

Its not the conventional military phase that concerns me but what may happen afterwards.

For example, the Russians managed a military success in Chechnya but are still paying the price with revenge/terrorist attacks.

I guess the problem is to determine when the line will be crossed right ? When is Israel going to be attacked with nukes ?
Don't you feel it's just a matter of time ?

[Adagio]

I'm doing my best now, to get enough money to get out of this country... war only makes me leaver sooner (It's not like the war will has a great chance to get uphere anyway, but if that's the case... )

I think you come #1, but we give you a run for your money.

What do you consider out of hand?

[Dr Strangelove]

Well, if it gets really, really, really out of hand in that way you'd probably see a wave of bigotry descend on Europe and America that would be truely horrific. I think that in the end someone else would be doing the moving.

If it was feasble I would either flee to Canada, Australia or Holland. Coward that I am

[Richelieu]

The only war i can see coming here would be an invasion from the southern tribes. I don't think i'd have the time to move.
