Ok, I may be paranoid, but I think it's justified. If there is a war, and we all have to flee, where would be the best place to flee to? Money being not too much of an object. Outer space not permitted/ feasible. I am considering South America.

I believe that New Zealand is recognised as the safest place due to not being in line of prevailing winds etc, also largely innoffensive to superpowers.

also only nation in the world that is self sufficient in food.

by that I mean in a balenced way as obviously many nations have surplusses in some areas.

NZ is a lurvly thought, but as I understand it they already have some strict rules on immigration, probably because of worries like this. ;-)

I'm eligible for dual citizenship in Ireland, and, given the most recent news reports (chemical terrorist attack against Sears Tower foiled), I'm thinking of taking them up on the offer.

I'll stay here and fight a gureilla war down my local park.

Watched Red Dawn recently, have we?

I don't think I've seen that one Richard. But, just looked it up and it looks quite cool. Patrick Swayze is in it!

The cupboard under the stairs. If I can't see them they can't see me.

Gawd Lixi, war fear is so last week. Dark Strangelovian cynicism is where it's at!

But I think campuses in Minnesota should be safe.

A mountain cave in Afghanistan, by all accounts.

Pallet Town!

New Brunswick and Newfieland are pretty much out of the way. I'd say Iceland is looking pretty good too.

Inner space.

You've apparently missed the big groundswell of anti-New Zealand sentiment burgeoning in North America right now. There are construction workers walking around with t-shirts that say things like "I walk a thousand miles to smoke a dirty sheep-fucking Kiwi."

I suggest hiding in the statue of liberty. Shes strong!

the "hidden place".

I'm going to watch red dawn (again) tonight, my flatmate actually bought an ex-rental copy.

Then I'm going to jump on the bandwagon and invade New Zealand using Cuban paratroopers.

― chris, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

ok, NZ it is. i won't even have to learn the language. now i just need a passport. of course, nuclear devices would fuck us all up anyway. i think war should be fought using paper aeroplanes and catapults full of maggots. no, sorry, that's not right. i wish they'd turn the heating down in here.

You could also try Fiji. Lots smaller than NZ and even more remote.

Zabar's. They have NZ cheddar.
I'm not fleeing the NY area, tough titties to the Taliban, let 'em come get me.

alix - nz has a language all of its own, so get yr pocket book of lingos ready.

― Geoff, Tuesday, 2 October 2001 00:00 (twenty-three years ago) link

And stock up on your Tall Dwarfs records, too. Never a bad thing in any case.

I'd rather dig a hole and make an underground city.
