Also, fuck people saying it's America. America is literally top 20 country to live in in the world, and I'd definitely rather be with a corrupt government than literally have nothing, like in Somalia.



If you think your country is worse than Somalia, you're clearly lacking certain crucial parts of your brain.

Congo: 400,000 women were raped in a 12-month period in 2006-07

But North Korea still has concentration camps today where people starve to death and because they get so hungry, they eat dirt and each other's fecal matter. And that's only scratching the surface...

NK: trying to restart 6-party talks to get aid.
Somalia: Islamist groups actively prevent aid from arriving.

Edge: Somalia.

[Alou]

Isn't North Korea having a food shortage right now and there are issues with giving them aid?

I forgot about Congo and Zimbabwe. I could see both beating Afghanistan. Probably somewhat arguable though.

Canada is an excellent country and where I hope to move to after graduation. Americans always rib at it but honestly Canadians have the best of both worlds; the importance of culture and languages from Europe as well as the more informal North American lifestyle.

US is nowhere near a terrible country. Yes, lots of Americans are arrogant but for how big this country is, it's quite a feat. I will say that Canada seems to be better and more suited for my personal values.

our poor people are fat, so we're not one of the most fucked-up. being poor isn't fun, but if you're gonna be poor then the US isn't the worst place to live.

anywho, i'd go with north korea, but there's a ton of countries i don't know about that could be worse. i've heard some fucked up stuff about korea though.

Haha, non le Bloc n'a gangé que 4 place au parliament (d'un maximum de 72 au Quebec). Ils ont perdu leur status comme parti officiel du Canada.

Seperatism is dead, as long as there isn't a new strong leader, because all the leaders now are more or less ignorant politicians who have a grudge against anglophones. And even in Montreal, over 50% of the city speak a language other than french. If you move here, you'd be safe without a doubt.

[Perkins]

Not saying anyone in here was being serious when they said it but if anyone honestly thinks the US is anywhere near a bad place to live they are fucking retarded. And should be reminded of it daily.

Since Somalia is more or less a complete free for all of a country forged in the fires of Hell by Satan, that'll be my choice.
