Title says how this thread works. If you live in a country listed, see if you can reasonably counter OR agree with the negative point (which can be true, a bad stereotype, and/or just plain stupid).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Most of Europe - horrible taxes. Seems like you get the shaft with the prices of electronic devices there too.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Japan - really crowded. Tokyo is also ranked as one of the most expensive cities.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

China - too much censorship, terrible human rights record

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Saudi - strict Islamic laws

I've always felt as if I'm the only person who can understand the concept of sarcasm on the internet.

Any middle-eastern/arabic country.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I'm sorry, but I couldn't deal with bartering for everything on a daily basis. The business methods are too aggressive for me.

You have to be kidding? I'd rate the food in France as generally the best i've ever eaten.

"Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

Some I like, but whenever I go to a French restaurant with friends, I generally order something from elsewhere in Europe. Some of the more culturally diverse French food looks like dog vomit.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The "I am hungry, I am Man" commercial from Burger King actually features at the beginning a dish one of my friends got. She loved it, I was offended by the mere sight.

Thats an ever so slightly stereotypical desciption of Africa. Not all of Africa is like Sudan is at the moment.

He who learns must suffer, and, even in our sleep, pain that cannot forget falls drop by drop upon the heart,

and in our own despair, against our will, comes wisdom to us by the awful grace of God.

Agreed. There are many nice places to live in Africa. South Africa, Algeria, Tunisia, Egypt, etc.

I have to disagree with you. South Africa I've heard is nice, but Egypt? I have seen pictures of Cairo, and they are not pretty.

I wouldn't live in Brazil because of its exorbitant taxes, its corrupted government and its urban violence.

 

 

 

Oh wait! I live here! -.-

I went to Egypt (admittedly not Cairo) over half term and from what I saw it's a nice country if you're a tourist, but I wouldn't want to live there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The USA - the religious right.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I agree, although parts are more liberal.

"Da mihi castitatem et continentam, sed noli modo"

The USA, because it's cool to say that. And I find a big part of their culture sickening. I would constantly be ashamed of living there.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Other than that, any other big crowded city in random country. I hate big cities and loads of people. I'd rather have a little village.

China- Too many people

 

 

 

India- NOT a lot of opportunity...plus its kind of bad in some places

 

 

 

Mexico and (most of) Africa- bad living conditions

Really? I'd take snails over a Big Mac any day, then again i'd rather eat charcoal than eat a Big Mac.

Meh, he probably doesn't know much better. Give him a Deep Pan Pizza or something among those lines and he'll be alright. :)

Agreed, but i would rather the big mac. Although I would make myself sick afterwards, I can't think of eating snails as... right. Probably cultural differences, but fish and chips does me fine.

 

 

 

Also, I don't agree with their gun laws and Bush in general.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Iraq: Obvious

 

 

 

Iran: Worried about nuclear war and the rest of the world (Especially USA) poking their noses everywhere.

 

 

 

Afganistan: Too much drugs trade, is messing with the world.

 

 

 

China: I think their laws cinflict with human rights.

 

 

 

Israel & Lebanon: Too much pointless war.

 

 

 

Some african countries: Poverty

 

 

 

UK: Chavs and a horrible government. Oh wait. I live here. <.<

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

What about places we would like to live in, and why?

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Canada: I Love their culture. Is better than UK in every way.

 

 

 

South Africa: Really nice place to be and rapidly devoping.

hmmm, for me:

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

iraq- obvious

 

 

 

iran- crazy leaders, probability of being invaded by isreal or nuked by the US

 

 

 

china- i like to complain about the goverment, and this isnt a good place to do it

 

 

 

some northern european countries: because the tax rates there are exorbanent and for that kind of money I can go private on those services and do better on my own

 

 

 

oh and finally most of africa, because they are incredibly poor

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

french bread and cheese is good, but they do have a lot of very BAD foods.
