Just don't act like a sheltered twit. I've been to foreign countries and you are generally safer there than you are in America. This is one of the most dangerous countries in the world. Americans always look like fools overseas because they have a warped view of the world.

the most important thing to remember is that "where ever you go there you are"...which means your own mind is where peace is or isn't...there is no magical place where everything is different....so as long you are not constantly threatened with physical violence anywhere is a good place to live your life...

As a Norwegian I think this is the typical American way of thinking. There are extreme muslims, bust most of them have no intention of destroying anything. The American president is trying to frighten the Americans into believing exactly what you are saying, but I think this is more frightening than anything.

It's a tie We have the hottest women in the world (I've seen plenty in other countries too but...) and  we really have a high standard of living.   The worst....poor education leading to crime and intolerance.

Nope, I have lived in New York, Las Vegas, California (briefly), and Idaho (Lewiston), as well as Tucson, Arizona where I currently am.  None of the above were particularly clean, safe, or economically secure.  \n\nIf you want cleanliness, safety, and economic development, move to a suburb or a rural area, and commute to work if you need to.

America is the most violent country on earth.  Things are not always what they seem. Good Luck.

Assuming you plan to attend college in one of our large cities, you will be as safe as the rest of us.\n\nIn spite of the rhetoric of liberals, hate crime on Arabs has been limited to attacks on the koran.  And that is highly criticized and rare.

I, too, am a sensitive person and an American.  I understand what you are saying.  There are some people in this country who see only the mistakes of our own natioin but not the ATROCITIES of the terrorists.  I can not comprehend how their minds work.  If it is THAT bad here, why don't they move to a country that better suits their beliefs?  I mean this sincerely.  I'm fairly certain that someone will bash me for this last statement.  I am not saying to "go to hell."  I am sincerely asking a simple question.  I choose to stay in my homeland because I love my country. That doesn't mean I agree with everything . That would be unusual to agree with EVERYTHING.  I'm saying that if it is THAT awful for some people, why not choose to be happy and go where you will find peace of mind and contentment?  Here's the deal as I see it....these people take for granted all the freedoms that they have in this country. They take for granted all of the opportunities that are available to them.  They are looking for Eutopia, I can only imagine.  Well brothers and sisters, "this is the last best place on earth" and I for one ain't going nowhere!!!!

I'm from an  Arabian country so, I do know this country very well. it's safe but   there is no freedom when you go there forget about  the freedom ,you won't be able to do whatever you want cause it's conservative country ,, they are strict but in general don't worry about  the safety it's safe, \nvenus

I have friends who have vacationed there and have had no trouble. I've heard it is an astoundingly beautiful country. I does have its problems like any other country. Would you walk at night in some areas of Washington DC? Hell! And that's the nation's capital. Every country has its own dangerous places. Right in Berlin, where they are celebrating the World Cup, they have designated some "NO GO" zones. If you venture into one of these, you could be lynched just for having skin that isn't the right shade of white.

No.\n\nOur people who work in Saudi have to live in an American compound, have no rights whatsoever as far as the Saudis are concerned. The Arab countries are the worst human right abusers on earth. Our buddies!

No, it would be best if you find a way back to mexico right now, it will be harder to walk in the desert with a baby.\n To bad you cant stay and take advantage of Americans\n Bye Bye

None.\n\nWell... almost none.  I looked into moving into Riyahd and found that my wife, who is professional and made more money than me, would essentially not be able to work.  This isn't to say that women CAN'T get a job in Saudi, but it is very difficult.  \n\nFirst, it is one of the most male dominated societies in the world and the Wahhabists segregate the genders.  Women are prohibited from riding in cars with a man who is not their relative. You won't be allowed into a bank unless it has a women-only branch.  You won't be able to go into a restaraunt unless it has "family" section.  You won't be able to go outside unaccompanied, unless you live in a compound.  \n\nNow I know of some Saudi women who do work, but they tend to work for charities, the government and retail shops in women-only malls.  And these were Saudi women.  Chances for expatriate women is even lower.  I have never heard of an expatriate woman getting a job in Saudi (except as a teacher).  \nNo, my dear.  You may be professional, smart, rich, experienced and wise... but you are just a woman in that society's eyes.  \n\nExpect to stay at home with the kids.  While they were offering a huge salary for me to move my family to Riyahd.  Just enjoy your life in the compound.\n\n(Later addendum: I forgot to add that there is an ethnic pecking order in Saudi Arabia.  Saudis are on top of the pyramid followed by other Sunnis, followed by Shiites then Westerners, then followed by a pecking order of ethnicities largely based upon how rich the countries are/what jobs those ethnicities tend to do in Saudi. For example, Pakistanis, Yemenis and Bangladeshi are seen as in the middle because they are Muslim, but not on top because they do construction.  Phillipinos tend to get the shaft because they are usually Catholic construction workers.  I am not sure about Indians, but my guess is that they are somewhere near the bottom. I'm not trying to be alarmist, but that's the way it is.)
