what do you mean diverse...there are whites, blacks and mexicans.  Toronto, the largest city in Canada is a hub for immigrants all over the world, and surprise, the immigrants are the majority here not  the original whites that were here since columbus.  The visible minority population alone is 49% of the population, the crime rate is very low, everybody is living and working together nicely.  Is there a city like that in the US?

Im not a bigot, im just speaking about what I see and hear on the news.  I love visiting the US.  But living there is a different question altogether.  Brazil is only worse off in the slum areas i believe, but everywhere else is acceptable, and every man and woman there doesn't walk around with a gun in their pocket either.

I wonder how many of the people here who choose Japan actually know anything about living in Japan. Lonelynight

Asia: Japan, Don't know much about Asia, at least decent games come out of Japan

Africa: Kenya, going to hang with the lions

NA: USA, ya it's just easier

SA: Ecuador, beautiful and cheap for ex pats

Eur: Italy, wine and food wonderful...

Ant: I would find the closest boat and move

Aus/Oceania: New Zeaalnd, I can't handle the heat of Aus

I'm Canadian, so deal with it...

North America: USA, just cause I want to live in NYC one day.
South America: Argentina, specifically Buenos Aires. Most familiar to me.
Europe: Tough one, but Italy because my family is from it and it's stunningly beautiful.
Africa: There's some cool places to see, but to make a living? Morocco, I guess.
Asia: Japan. Cultural, beautiful, and small enough to see all of.
Oceania: New Zealand is pretty nice but seems isolated as well.

Since I already live in South America, I'll participate anyway.

North America: Canada.

Africa: Nowhere.

Europe: Tough pick, i'd go with either Germany or Switzerland.

Asia: Japan. It'd be painful adapting though.

As an American I American't live anwhere where I can't breathe in the sweet air of Freedom.  God bless America.

Scotland or Italy

Singapore or China (preferably Chengdu).

Middle East: Israel, most developed in region by far.

Europe: Switzerland or Sweden if I magically knew the language. If not England so I can actually speak to people.

"Middle East" is not a continent, fyi.

I suppose statistically Brazil does have a higher homicide rate, so that makes the US safer.

I have to say that my dislike for US goes much further than crime rate, and in many aspects, I do like Brazil more than US.

In many parts of the world, North America and South America are also not considered continents, it's considered to be just one continent, America.

Middle East is not considered a continent anywhere in the world.

It's not incomplete knowledge of geography, it's just a different definition. I was taught is school that America is a continent, not North America and South America. There are several continent models, and different parts of the world go by different models. See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continent

English-speaking countries usually follow the 7 continent model, where North America and South America are considered separate continents.

Spanish-speaking countries (and also Portuguese-speaking countries), usually follow the 6 continent model, where North America and South America are not considered separate continents, there's just one continent called America. It's not stupid, it's just a different model. Some Asian countries also follow this model.

Also, it seems from the link that in the US pre WWII America was considered a single continent, for some reason they started going by the 7 continent model and started considering North America and South America continents.

And yes, you have such a thing as the Afro-Eurasia or Eurafrasia continent. Not a common term though, but it's not incorrect.

Also, the way I was taught, Australia is not a continent. That continent is called Oceania, and it encompasses Australia, New Zealand and a few other small islands.

[QUOTE="nunovlopes"]

[QUOTE="iowastate"] where would that be? I do know that Eurasia is the continent of Europe and Asia but I have never heard of anyone having such an incomplete knowledge of geography as to try and consider North and South America to be parts of one continent because of Central America. That is like considering Africa to be part of Eurasia because they are connected by the Gaza strip. .THUMPTABLE

Australia IS a continent

Australia is a country, not a continent. Oceania is not a region, you either don't use the term or you use it. If you use it, it denotes a continent.

Really, do you know how to read? There are several different definitions, look it up.

I didn't say that it is wrong, I clearly said there are different definitons used worldwide, all of them are right in their context. I specifically said "the way I was taught". You quoted that specific sentence of my post and left out the important parts.

[QUOTE="iowastate"][QUOTE="Lonelynight"] I have to agree, there are way too many Weeaboos around. When expertise comes from reading manga and watching too much anime they will be in for a shock when they find out that Otaku are not held in high esteem. and Japanese girls don't aren't looking for pudgy white boys who spend all their time reading manga/comic books.TheWalkingGhost

and once they actually visit Japan and find out what the nation is really like they can shed the label of Weeabo

p.s.

I have dont my best to avoid personalities. You should do the same and try to debate instead of name calling it will make for more pleasant discussions in the future.

I have over the years learned to consider the source. Insults cause no harm and do not bother me but the same can not be said for most of Gamespot.

You may have noticed how quickly a simple discussion turns into an argument and then a flame war on this site so I so encourage caution.

North America: Panama

South America: Argentina

Europe: England

Africa: South Africa

Asia: Japan

Oceania: Australia

Lol, where do YOU live??

I'm Canadian.

North America: Canada, duh. Maybe America if I was filthy rich.

Europe: Switzerland

Asia: South Korea

Africa: South Africa

South America: Chile

As a fellow American from the south I feel entitled to answering the question

NA : US , more specifically, Santa Monica or Miami;

Europe : France, I graduated in a French school so I'd feel at home , Paris for living and St. Tropez for Vacations is a go;

Asia : Macau , surprised no one mentioned it, party all day;

Africa : South Africa ofc, for the very reasons stated here;

South America : Honestly the place where I live, Sao Paulo, Brazil, would only move to Rio;If I had to choose another country then Buenos Aires, Argentina, a smaller and more charming Sao Paulo , 40 minutes away from Punta del Este, Uruguay, a must visit for anyone during summer.

Oceania : from my experience Brazillians and Australians get along so well it'd be a shame not to live there if given the opportunity, just love them aussies.

themajormayor

more specifically the Sinai peninsual of which Gaza is just a portion. and Eurfrasia is what some call it which is no more accurately described as one continent than "The Americas" can be described as one continent.

some people just have too much time on their hands.
