I'd rather live in the US than just about anywhere else...unless it's like some quite mountain town in Switzerland. I could really go for that. Maybe Japan as well, but that might be because I have an inflated opinion of just how cool Japan is.

Well you know, that's kind of like saying that you'd rather have an apple than any other kind of fruit if you've only ever tried apples before. I mean it's still okay to say that since you like apples and it's a safe bet, but it's also a view based off of a very limited perspective, if you know what I mean.
I was just making an observation based on what the media feeds me about the dangers of other countries.

Actually, it's more like "I have no problems living in the US and on the whole I have a better opportunity to become crazy-rich here than in most other countries". Get it?

Definitely true... though people get used to what they are used to so adjusting to other things later can be harder (so you look at other places and say "I like home more" and mean it no matter what the factual comparison says)... after all, everyone likes their home environment. Most people, anyway. I don't mean this for any specific comparison though, just in general. But if you have no experience at all with other places it's kind of moot... and silly to say "I like home more" in the first place.

Well it's when you get rich that you'll want to have homes in Barcelona, Nice, and Hong Kong.
"But if you guessed correctly, you'll win... a new store!"
Except it's actually a car.
