Chad. Not only are they violently dysfunctional and brutal to their citizens, but as near as I can tell, there's nothing there worth fighting for, but they fight anyway.

Myanmar. Same thing as Chad but with rain forests.

If I were in charge of Zimbabwe or North Korea, that would be fine. Seeming as there's nobody in charge of Somalia or Afghanistan, that wouldn't.

North Korea for the fascism (I once saw a doco where a border guard accidentally played an announcement saying that it was a holiday in NK when it wasn't, and he had to escape because they would have killed him for that. What the hell is wrong with them?), Somalia for the anarchy.

Fighting militias, western companies raping the country for minerals, and as dessert some interesting exotic diseases like SARS and Ebola...

Afghanistan wouldnb't be nice - especially if the Taliban win again. However, it's pretty nasty now.
Saudi Arabia may be wealthy but I would never live there.
There are 20 or 30 African countries that would depress me utterly.

Seconded.

Though you forgot the occasional active volcano to really pile on the misery in the east of the country.

From the Wikipedia entry on the Second Congo War (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second_Congo_War)(emphasis added):

By 2008 the war and its aftermath had killed 5.4 million people, mostly from disease and starvation, making the Second Congo War the deadliest conflict worldwide since World War II. Millions more were displaced from their homes or sought asylum in neighboring countries.

Despite a formal end to the war in July 2003 and an agreement by the former belligerents to create a government of national unity, 1,000 people died daily in 2004 from easily preventable cases of malnutrition and disease.


And unlike the vast majority of people posting in NSG, I've actually been to the DRC.

The US is a huge place, and varies massively depending on where you go. It also has hundreds of millions of people who are nothing like that at all.


An economy declining

But, compared to most of the world, is miles above it.

The list for countries that would be crap to live in is pretty big, but from talking to members of other countries, i can say this:

Africa - crap, hence why alot of Afrikaans leave

North Korea - fascist crap, but south koreans are nice

Israel - total crap and spreading misery to the rest of the world

South America - the people who settle down to marriage and kids are okay, the rest live only for parties and drugs and are crap until they grow up, quit the drugs and settle down

Australia and New Zealand - could countries descended from Convicts and Mentally Disabled who were kicked out of Britain be any more crap

America - how crap is a country that sees a need to go into a war every 20-something years [WW1-WW2-Vietnam-Desert Storm-Current War] so its guaranteed that between 2020-2030 USA will send your kids off to die for that new war

Alot of people just see a countries stereotypes, dislike a countries political leanings, culture, foreign policy, or the people themselves.

For alot of people from less fortunate nations, the UK, USA, or any 1st world nation will seem appealing. But to other 1st world nations, it might not seem so appealing.

No, I don't. You simply couldn't be more incorrect. I could care less about what 'might not be so appealing'...we are talking about the worst country to live in in the world. Hence, if you understand anything about the world and the countries that make it up, you'd know that not only is the U.S. not the worst place to live in the world, it's near the top.

I effectively said that there are reasons why people might name the US, (or any other nation that to you or I seems out of place in this topic.

I wasn't talking about you personally, I was talking about 'you' as in the 'you' who was voicing the opinions you were stating. My point is that you claimed many people see the US as less than appealing for various reasons, but what I said was that was totally irrelevant because this is not about "which states are less than appealing to you" but about "which is the WORST nation".....and to name America as the worst nation one would either have to have an anti-American personal agenda or be totally ignorant of the world.

Worst means objectively worst. If you don't have to consider things like disease, famine, political repression, war, genocide, slavery, and rampant corruption, you're definitely not talking about the worst country on Earth. All of those exist simultaneously in more than a few places.

For some people, the US might be the worst country out of a given category, but it sure as hell isn't the worst overall. That's just being ignorant of the very real suffering that goes on in many parts of the world and a sign that the person in question has a pretty poor grasp of what it's actually like out there. I highly doubt any of the people who say the US would ever choose Zimbabwe over the United States, or Sudan, or China, or Russia, or any other nation with problems far more severe than those present in the US.

To people who simply haven't been anywhere except the First World and don't imagine what the life is like out there.

To people who are so used to always having decent food on their table, clean and warm clothes, a warm and dry home, power and tap water, healthcare, good labor conditions, comfortable transportation, etc., that all these things have become to them like ground under their feet; they don't even bother to take into account whether they are present or not.

My favorite images are the ones showing the NK and PRC sides of the border. On the PRC side, you've got all these colorful advertisements, new buildings, cars lining the streets and bright lights shining, and on the NK side everything is decrepit, devoid of humanity and mostly inoperable.

Hell, even the Soviet Union would be a great choice compared to NK, and the former GDR was a veritable paradise in comparison.

Haha, Ich würde gerne wissen was du meinst. Würdest du mir bitte erklären was dein problem mit den deutschen ist? Und die deutsche Sprache?

Warum haben die Deutschen eine Allergie gegen Schlange stehen?

Iceland is now the worst country in the world to live in.
Because now they are Russia's bitch. Expect Iceland to be the new Georgia in 2009.

The mall only makes it worse. The parking is insane. The mall is even more insane. My daughter used to work there at Victim - I mean Vitamin World.

Between the Airport, the Mall and the intersection of two major freeways, it's a killer.

You have to remember that less than 2/3 of people around here ever graduate high school, and less than 20% go to college. Almost no one is qualified to do anything at all outside the service industry, so the mall is absolutely essential to the local economy, besides being one of the pillars of the Mexican economy. And besides, would you really want to drive to Montclair Mall? Their crummy little Vitamin World hardly compares, for a start.

We could always do a repeat of the 1940's, when the UK and then the US took control of Iceland to prevent the Germans from invading.

Absolute worst? Southern Libya. Alone. There's absolutely nothing there.

Second? Probably Afghanistan. Being from its east, I'll probably get killed or something.

Third? Mayhap northern Siberia in Russia.

I think I'll go with most of Sub Saharan Africa except maybe some of the little countries along the coast (around Cote d'Ivoire) I've heard that some of them are alright if you don't want something horrible to happen to you.
Afghanistan (war zone), Myanmar (war zone), Saudi Arabia (I'm a woman, I like leaving the house without a male escort), Iraq (war zone), Iran (I like alcohol and not having to cover my head and dress how other people think I should), Indonesia (religious conflict=probably bad to be around), China (I like my internet relatively uncensored), North Korea, Haiti...

Basically I lucked out being born in a secular, relatively free society where there isn't a lot of violence and various diseases aren't rampant.

Is there a worst as such
The list for countries that would be crap to live in is pretty big, but from talking to members of other countries, i can say this:

Africa - crap, hence why alot of Afrikaans leave

North Korea - fascist crap, but south koreans are nice

Israel - total crap and spreading misery to the rest of the world

South America - the people who settle down to marriage and kids are okay, the rest live only for parties and drugs and are crap until they grow up, quit the drugs and settle down

Australia and New Zealand - could countries descended from Convicts and Mentally Disabled who were kicked out of Britain be any more crap

America - how crap is a country that sees a need to go into a war every 20-something years [WW1-WW2-Vietnam-Desert Storm-Current War] so its guaranteed that between 2020-2030 USA will send your kids off to die for that new war

Africa is a single country now?

WOW you really dont know what your talking about. Israel wouldn't even exist if it wasn't for the British, but now that those jews are there what do you expect them to do up and leave there homes because some crazy extremists claims they dont exist then Decides to blow themselves up in a mall. As for Australia a number of those convicts were political crimminals at a time where british society was very tyranical of many of its subjects. Also it stopped being a penal colony a long time ago. As for America WW1 and WW2 were European conflicts we got dragged into and thank your lucky stars we did. Vietnam well okay that was bull, but I submit it was the French who started it then had to ask us for help when they couldnt finish it. Desert Storm was in defense of a small nation that would have been forced into a tyrranical dictatorship (which granted we put into power under Reagan), and threatened ever fragile stability in the middle east. Not to mention that was a cooridinated effort by several countries it is just the US did most of the work because well lets face it they have the best military forces in the world(for now). And Iraqui freedom well what can I say I have the weapons Bush was looking for in my back yard the guy picked on me in gradeschool that sob.

North Korea, Iraw, and Mexico pale, utterly, in comparison to the horrors of Switzerland.

Those watching-making chocolate monkies are a danger to the whole world.

Did you know:

In Switzerland, military service is compulsory, including sniper practice on kittens.

In Switzerland, use of the incorrect cheese in cuisine is punishable by imprisonment and forcible "re-education".

The Swiss Government does not collect taxes, only interest on Nazi Gold taken from dead Jews.

The Swiss do not consider rape a crime. It is treated as a contract dispute.

In Switzerland, they speak four languages, none of them the truth.

In Switzterland, the men also have nipples.

Swiss children do not speak until the age of 11.

In Switzerland, only state approved shows may be televised. The approval committee loves Raymond.



So don't joke about the Swiss. Those people are the devil.
